It is not war and death and famine, it's not that at all. It's the opposite of that. It's the persuasion of the world outside of that. That's why sports are important.
After conceding just one goal in their opening four Premier League games this season, how to explain the Champions Arsenal losing three nil to Brighton? On Saturday afternoon. Did they somehow not expect a high press from the team who forces more high turnovers than anyone else? Do we need to give all the credit to Brighton and their unparalleled ability to pick up elite footballers for relatively small transfer fees? I think the real reason Arsenal lost in the manner they did is down to a man who wasn't even on the pitch against them on Saturday again. Who's that? He was busy getting ready to terrify Manchester City's defence on Sunday instead. I'm talking about triple B. Big Brian Brobby. Hear me out in this one.
Brian Brian Brobby. It's a Monday second. Brighton Brian Brobie. Maybe he should go to Brighton, but he's doing very well at Sunderland. He He's my new cult hero again. I lo I love the man. I mean he's actually Up until now it's been more in a sort of a Barclays man mold. You know, it's just like this guy's fun to watch, he barrels through people. The more seven is actually a bit too good to be put in that category, actually, uh certainly. If you're scoring hat tricks against Man City, you're probably a level above the average Barclaysman. But did you know that in Brian Brobby's Premier League career so far, every team that have played Sunderland have then gone on in their next match to concede at least two goals in their next match.
I did not know that. No, it's a bullshit stat can. But it sounds like the kind of thing that might be true. Is it true? No, I just made it open. Oh right, okay. Yeah. Yeah. But it's ki d doesn't it sound the kind of thing that that could be true? I mean I i
if I it sounds
Facts. We're in the post post truth world now, you know? I should have just said that's a real stat. Nobody would have put me up on it. Right. Last weekend, Arsenal played Sunderland in a bruising encounter. Their centre halves have to spend their entire Saturday nights getting beaten from pillar to post by the big man. Sunderland didn't score on the night, but Brighton, my theory is, benefited from the softening up process and took full advantage. So Brobie effectively beat Arsenal 3 0 on Saturday before score and a half. Patrick against City on Sunday. Report on sport, please can. Well, I've I've been uh rock back on your on your seat with that. Much like Arsenal. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I've just come at it with a hard, early, uh Brighton style press there again.
You're David Rea fumbling around with the ball, kicking it out of play repeatedly. Uh confused by your erratic remarks.
I'm not really sure. What
is this guy shit on about? Something about Brian Brobin?
Well, Brobby Brian Brighton, um Yeah, Brantford. Jeez. I mean I I I have to say, I thought it was a pretty uh good weekend of football.
