Gunners blazing - Send in the clown emojis: the dangers of discussing an Arsenal red card

Another week, another well-received podcast. Geoff: the Guardian stopped caring about actual journalism a long time ago.

GoonerRay: So-called journalists begging for clicks CLOWN EMOJI CLOWN EMOJI CLOWN EMOJI. Peter: the Football Weekly pod has become garbage.

I have enjoyed it for many years, but it's time to say goodbye. ScottishGooner: unless they get a grip of this gaslighting podcast I'll be cancelling my subscription to the paper. Grant: c-word. Robbo: c-word. Arsenteta: Arteta needs to start creating lawsuits for defamation of character as the media pile on is constant!! José, Pep, Klopp, Conte, all loves for their sideline antics, Arteta however has to stay silent & be a good boy. C-word.

You never really know what reaction you'll get when you turn off Zoom, close the laptop and sit down to watch series four of Slow Horses. Anyone who's been on the internet in the past decade knows that it isn't the most wholesome place to spend your time.

So what caused this latest excoriation from what I thought was gentle run through the weekend's games? A clip from Monday's Guardian Football Weekly had been posted on X. One minute and nine seconds of me and Jonathan Wilson discussing William Saliba's red card at Bournemouth and whether Arsenal's disciplinary problems may cost them the title.
