I don't think I'm sleeping tonight! 🏆
In all the uproar and reporting about Man City being found guilty of 114 actual breaches of financial regulations, we mustn't forget, Mikel Arteta sometimes steps out of his technical area. I think we all know who the real villain is...

Not much #MathsToday but managed to visit some other A Level lessons as part of my role as a Lead Practitioner within my Sixth Form College, looking for excellent practice to spotlight. Managed to see History, Sociology, Film Studies and Art today. More tomorrow and Friday!

Lovely day of #ALevelMaths in #MathsToday, introducing the reciprocal trig functions to my Y2 classes as well as the accompanying Pythagorean identities. Always enjoy the opportunity to make the class cringe with "The one with a tan is sexy" and "The one in the cot is cosy".

I've just seen the handball that Man City got away with, I assume Sunderland will be receiving an apology from Pro Ref?
September 20, 2026 at 5:00 PM
Sunderland deciding that defending is optional this weekend, a distinctly different approach to our game with them.

There seems to be a disparity between the amount of contact that the referee is allowing for the home team and the amount that we are allowed.

Spurs could be bottom of the league by tomorrow afternoon.

"Best attack in the league"

"We finally have our goalkeeper"

"Lacroix is one of the best centre backs in the league"

"Cole Palmer is back"

Kevin Schade is ⚡

Someone needs to tell these Ipswich lads that trying to play out from the back is not the move against this team.

I'd already graduated from University when Max Dowman was born.

In #MathsToday my #ALevelMaths Y2 students did some work on combined transformations of functions. We have the first assessment of the year coming up on Thursday and then starting Trigonometry next week!

Solid start to the year from both classes, expectations are high for this cohort.

Are the celebration police still around?

I assume whoever is on VAR has triple captained Erling Haaland.
September 13, 2026 at 4:58 PM
Lammens definitely reacted as Enzo Fernandez lunged to try and head it. I think that should have been disallowed. I'm also not convinced Haaland was onside anyway.
September 13, 2026 at 4:56 PM
Poor discipline seems to follow Enzo Maresca, Chelsea got a load of reds while he was in charge. Coincidence?
September 13, 2026 at 3:59 PM
Madness that Bruno Fernandes is allowed to kick Phil Foden in the back while he's on the floor then roll around to get him sent off when he retaliates (softly).

vs Coventry - Dominated possession and territory
vs Villa - Wore them down, scored and then controlled it
vs Chelsea - Transitional game, bounced back from conceding early goal
vs Sunderland - Physical game against a well organised low(ish) block

You don't win the Premier League playing one way.

Regis Le Bris, "I didn't see the penalty action". Every time a decision was made he ran to a little screen on his bench to watch it immediately. There is absolutely no chance that he hasn't watched it at least 10 times.
September 12, 2026 at 9:29 PM
Big Mik absolutely unequivocal in his criticism of that ridiculous penalty decision, my manager!
September 12, 2026 at 9:23 PM
VAR said Konsa wasn't looking at the ball?!? He was until Ballard pulled his sleeve and spun him around.
September 12, 2026 at 9:11 PM
@arsenalvisionpodcast.com give me Ezri Konsa as a stock rising, absolute warrior, told Xhaka he'd see him outside and wrestled with Brian Brobbey for 96 minutes. He's one of us now!
September 12, 2026 at 9:03 PM
Arteta is evolving. 1-0 up away from home in a hostile environment with a referee who is clearly drunk, he takes off Rice and Ødegaard.
September 12, 2026 at 8:59 PM
This might be the worst refereeing performance I've seen since Mike Dean stood in the centre circle for 25 minutes.
September 12, 2026 at 8:51 PM
6 added minutes, that's 3 Sunderland throw-ins.
