But as soon as it looked, and that's, you know, if Arteta, this may not, this may never happen, but if Arteta ends up, ends up finishing second again this year, imagine they lost like three games in the first, you know, in the first two months of next season.

Yeah.

It would be just...

The reason I was handing them the title is that I do honestly think they've got the best squad.

Now, when I say that, that has kind of, over the last, I mean, Man City, right?

Man City's squad now is different from what it was at the start of the season.

They've got Semenyo in, they've got Gehi in, and they've got Cherki who, I have to say, I wasn't expecting to emerge as the decisive player.

Leading in carbon emissions as well by miles.

It's a very difficult thing to keep your mind on because it's so, if you start to think about it, it quickly starts to kind of loom as so depressing and so intractable that it's much easier just to not think about it.

You know, it's just like, oh, I read that David Wells-Wells book and it was like, this is fucked.

And it's like, you know, okay, so I'd rather think about Michel Artaud or, you know, even like, say, Peter Mandelson this week.

You see all the, like, UK news is all about Peter Mandelson and Chris Armour.

And it's like, oh, you know, who was lying and, you know.

I'm like, this is all bullshit.

Like none of this, none of this matters.

But why are you saying, why, why are you, I mean, it doesn't matter at all, but like, it's not as, it's like an issue which like is vastly more important is relegated to like the subconscious.

Why are you contending in this book that countries such as ours, or EU countries in general, or in theory the US, countries which are in theory liberal democracies can't solve this?

It's usually someone else though, isn't it?

It's usually, I mean, eventually it's your house that gets flooded and it's like, oh no.

But usually it's like, oh, what a shame for those people.
