@jesusjonesband.bsky.social It's been a while. Do you remember when Blur were your support band's support band? See you in November.

Even though I have his date of birth, I'm not even sure of the spelling of Frank Holyoke/Holyoak/Holyoake's name!

Yes, can't see that would have happened. Would have made it an even better question!

Good guess, but no.

Can you name someone who played at Hampden Park as a genuine professional footballer (not, for example, a celeb in a charity game) and then played the same venue as a genuine musician in a band (not, for example, as an offbeat guest)?

You must have enjoyed Arsenal's 17 consecutive open play goals before the Chelsea game then.

Probably Abou Diaby's because it was from a completely needless tackle.

If you look back through the thread you will see that I have said that Arsenal do it.
It seems that other teams and their fans are crying because Arsenal have manned up and doing what has been done to them for years.

So, it was alright when it was just Arsenal suffering from it but now all teams are doing it, it's not OK. Do you see how that looks?

Why now? Why not when it was happening to Arsenal 5 years ago?

I get it. Other teams and their fans want Arsenal to revert to the team of softies that would get bullied at corners and concede week in week out as it is in their best interest. They don't like it when it is done to them by their former victims.

Thanks for showing these pictures where Chelsea players are holding Arsenal players and vice-versa. It shows that there are teams other than Arsenal that do this sort of thing.

That's a different incident.

This is Arsenal's first goal. Saliba and Gyokere are being held by Chelsea players. Which Arsenal players are holding Chelsea players?

If we were conceding loads of goals from set pieces the media and other fans would be calling us weak. We know this because that used to happen.

Barts* are going to have to open a new wing to accommodate us Arsenal fans over the next two months.

* For those who aren't familiar with it, search for St Bartholomews Hospital in London.

Manchester City quadruple hopes dealt huge blow as they slip further behind Arsenal.

Guardiola's side now find themselves FIVE points behind The Gunners.

You can't park in front of a dropped kerb, even if it's your car in front of your house.

The information is readily available but you'll have to spend some time doing research. Companies House website has the accounts for all PL and EFL clubs that show how many full time & part time employees they have.
