Fair point although I do actually remember watching Kula Shaker perform Tattva some time around Euro 96. Peak 90s.

Govinda was the one Kula Shaker song that I semi-liked. There were a few other bands from that era who were famous for one song, but not the one song of theirs that I liked. I think it was because I caught them on Jools Holland. Eg. Stereolab and Les Yper Sound, Ben Folds Five and Philosophy.

Kula Shaker did a great great cover of "Hush"

Brilliant again this week. I love the small touches like Ed Woodward having already signed Ole's desk and his phone having been retrieved from the canal behind him

That Sean / Matt Longstaff story was pure class as well. I have two kids, they are just like that, watching Sean and Matt walk to sunset with Mark Knopfler guitar playing made me realise it is a bit dusty here as well...

David Squires is a genius. How he does this week in week out I have no idea.

The only slight fault is missing out Keane's pointless pointing at Hendricks, just before he scored.

And Pickford's arms are too long

He has a retrospective / 'buy my cartoons' up this week though...

Strategy for reading Squires' strips:

Step 1: read the text, casual glance at the drawings
Step 2: re-read, take a more detailed look at the drawings
Step 3: 3rd pass, forensically scanning drawings for subtle jokes, try to suppress hubris at having found them all
Step 4: read BTL comments and realise you've missed one or more
Step 5: re-read BTL comments, realise you missed more again and your mother, teachers and significant really did have a point…

yeah it's My Defence by Ashley Cole!

And I'm presuming that's Alexis and his dogs at the piano! And Arsene and Gunnersaurus listening to a retro JVC radio cassette

I'm very amused at Igor Stepanovs facing the wrong direction and looking at the wall at the back.

It reminds me of the story Amy Lawrence tells of how Wenger ended up signing him in the first place.

That’s a Shawshank Redemption nod from another Arsene Classic by Squires .

Glorious. Funny how you recognise no.27 instantly, it’s been more than twenty years since he got his five seconds on the telly.

Speaking of guys making a comeback after a spell out the public eye, I saw Ty again a few weeks ago out in the wild. A woman had stopped him to grab a selfie, inevitably.

lowkey reference to Pat Rice cause he always looked like that on the bench next to Wenger.
