Celebrate Lewis-Skelly as Arsenal's arch antagonist
The London Standard
|February 06, 2025
Goading Haaland is pure theatre - but will he come to regret it?
-
There was a glorious level of needle to Arsenal's meeting with Manchester City in north London last weekend, which cemented the fixture as the fiercest and most bitter rivalry in English football and therefore appointment viewing for all supporters.
From Erling Haaland pointing out his Premier League winners' badge to Gabriel Magalhães, to Myles LewisSkelly imitating the Norwegian's goal celebration, the occasion was dripping with antagonism, making for one of the best-ever atmospheres at the Emirates. As Arsenal's players and fans celebrated a 5-1 win, there was joy at a shift in the balance of power between the clubs, relief at a statement result in the title race and schadenfreude about City's continued demise.
There are many elements of the match-up that make for a great rivalry, not least Mikel Arteta's Darth Vader-like rejection of his former mentor, Pep Guardiola, for a seeming pursuit of glory via a different means.

Review: Need a sound night's sleep? These earbuds can even cancel your neighbours
I am incredibly noise-sensitive. I have the disposition of an irritable bat, which is only exacerbated in a sleep setting. And I have neighbours whose noise is constant: coughing, kids screaming, shouting.

Shabana Mahmood faces revolt over her asylum changes
DAILY MAIL “For the millions in this country who want an end to unchecked illegal migration, Shabana Mahmood’s proposals for a Danish-style asylum system are a decent start. There are simple, commonsense tweaks to rules widely regarded as far too generous. A key sticking point will be Mahmood’s struggle to sell the proposals to her own backbenchers.
