A load of old balls

It’s very cold here in Dublin this morning. You know who I blame? The Carabao Cup ball.

Honestly, I know we live in an age where clickbait rules, but some of the stuff around Mikel Arteta’s post-match comments has been dismal to say the least. If you think he’s really blaming the ball, you didn’t watch what he said, and it’s a measure of where we are in this media world that his words have been twisted the way they have.

Remarking on something is not the same as complaining about it.
