Probably not what you're looking for, but I still think of this Tom Gauld cartoon every time someone uses Gill Sans or Perpetua...

I asked one of my mates about it at the end of the season, and he gave Ange a B+. His main concern seemed to be that he's pretty dogmatic and refused to acknowledge your weakness at corners. I enjoyed watching your games FWIW. Van de Ven looks like a player.

Thanks for this. I'm doubly cursed. Born in Southampton and grew up within walking distance of the Dell. But my maternal grandfather was from the Red part of Manchester, so I follow United too. My uncle is a Spurs fan though, as were my two flatmates from university (somehow still my friends), so I have some sympathy for your predicament. ;-)

I’m still trying to find that community, but glad to hear it exists! 🙂

It seems the @npub1fhm…ljzr has given up the ghost for the #euros. It's really disappointing that more sports writers have not moved here or Bluesky, but are still posting away on Twitter. #mastodonfc
