So... there are three matches against the scousers in six week. On December 23rd in their sty, on January 6 weekend at the Emirates, and then again at home in the beginning of February. There's a chance for a fourth meeting if we decide to prolong their misery and opt for a replay. I thought of this song to the music of Prince's 1999 to remind everybody that it's up for grabs now:

I was dreaming when I wrote it
I just love how Arsenal play
But when I woke up in the morning
Coulda sworn it was our match day
London was all red
There were Gooners everywhere
Going to the Emirates
With excitement in the air

Say, say,
Two-thousand-twenty-three, party on it's Gooner time
So tonight we're gonna party like it's Nineteen-Eighty-Nine

Obviously, we can change Emirates with Anfield, and 2023 with 2024, as applicable, duh...

That filthy oil club of money-launderers and sportswashers, that bribed the VAR refs to spoil mighty Arsenal's Invincibles v2.0, were cheated by the VAR refs to concede a 90+7' penalty against that other oil club of money-launderers and sportswashers.

How do you say schadenfreude in German?

Charles Dickens wrote about it in the 19th century. It's oppression coupled with repression, resulting in depression.

That's a very competitive path, and the winner would be a deserving participant:

Kazakhstan had a shot at Slovenia to qualify outright.
Greece was robbed at home against the Netherlands and played France closely at the Stade de France.
Georgia drew with Norway and with Scotland and plays Abernathy adventurous football.
Luxembourg beat Bosnia home and away, beat Iceland, and drew with Slovakia.

I think that Greece is a favorite, but not by much.
