Since The Everlasting and Warm Hands of Ghosts have already been named, Mad Sisters of Esi by @tashanmehta.bsky.social!

only 6 1/2 months into the premier league season. i feel like i've aged years.

That was horrible really. We played poorly, but defended stoutly 2nd half.

But it's a HUGE night in the title race, a massive win for Arsenal and City have dropped points. Results wise, it could hardly be better.

And Fabian Hurzeler is very unhappy, which adds the icing to this particular cake.

And the Forest result on top of that!

Hopefully fans of rival clubs can take some solace from the fact that we also aren't enjoying a second of this.

That said – at this stage of the season, it matters less and less HOW you win, just that you do win.

We had to respond to City's win yesterday, and while it wasn't pretty (and was quite frightening towards the end), we got the points.

Now, put this one to bed, and focus on Wednesday. 9 to go.
