Two recent pod readings reaffirm Ecclesiastical truths regarding the absence of new things under the sun (but, c.f., 2016).
Most recently "The Dictionary of Received Truths," was an entertaining (if embarrassing) catalogue of the more cringeworthy restatements of the obvious that pass as punditry (e.g., Goal:1-happily accepted even if "ugly"; 2-a game-changer, unless 3-"pulled back" very late as (small) conciliation).
"Wenger, L'Auteur [sic]," is an unusually erudite deconstruction of late-Wengerian "failings." Well if naively pleaded by an Arsenal supporter (Spoiled & Entitled Wing) who hasn't experienced a true fall from grace & thinks decades of UCL qualification not worth one EFL title (he is, to quote a Man U supporter who knows, "so, so wrong").
The most enlightening aspect of the pieces was their provenance. Both were written nearly five years ago, yet could aptly appear in tomorrows's Times.
