Year 2 of my MA English at Aston University starts on Monday and I’m really looking forward to getting started on the module: Language and Literature in Education. Week 1 is about English as a school subject - can’t wait to get discussing.

VAR: "Michael, having seen the replay, Trossard kicks the ball away to delay the restart. Unfortunately we have no choice but to show a second yellow card. Send him off."

LETTER OF THE LAW

If Michael Oliver gives Leandro Trossard a second yellow for barging into Bernardo’s back there is an argument that the challenge merited it. To send Trossard off for kicking the ball away when Oliver has ignored similar offences in this game is hard to justify. #MCIARS

"If he can't pass it to be Rice he shouldn't be playing football!" Did Jeremy Doku get away with this one in the first half 🧐

#MCIARS - 49” Consistency is one of our main focuses here at Stockley Park this season. After we let Doku off for kicking the ball away earlier (we’re scared of city’s lawyers), we gave Trossard a second yellow for doing exactly the same thing 👍🏻

12 men. 130 charges and they can only draw. Embarrassing club.

That is the bravest performance I’ve ever seen from a Premier League side. If you love football, you love Arsenal #MCIARS

Proud to call this football club my own.

Some impressive revisionism from Man City over Arsenal's gamesmanship given it took Rodri approximately 3 seconds to go down trying to get an opponent sent off.

And here is my colleague History at Aston Brian Sudlow (Aston) in action at the Birmingham People History Archives, discussing faith in technology in interwar France—striking similarities and relevance for today indeed.

This will be great!
