Good Wednesday morning, TSFers. Happy Hump Day! The spirit hasn’t moved me to anything brilliant for today’s CF, so Grab Bag it is! Please share anything and everything that’s on your mind — Arsenal-related, football-related, or completely off-topic — in the comments.
Sadly, Dolly Parton passed yesterday after a brief battle with cancer. From all the tributes pouring out from every corner, it’s clear she was a beloved person who did immeasurable good in the world. That’s how we should all hope to be remembered
when our time comes. It’s so easy to be adored, other ultra-rich people. Just follow her example. She used her wealth to, among other things, fund medical research and help children learn to read, and left the world a much better place.
On a happier note, today is World Dog Day. That’s Arsenal team dog Win in the cover photo. Everyone give a furry friend an extra scratch behind the ears and another treat. They’ve more than earned it. Not that I needed much reason to like Bruno Guimaraes more than I do (now that he’s in an Arsenal shirt) or Illan Meslier, but both have pictures of their dogs on their social media. David Raya, Ben White, Declan Rice, Martin Ødegaard, and Kai Havertz are all known dog-owners. I’m sure I’m missing a few from the squad.
