Arsenal 1 - Leicester City 0 match report: domination

25 days ago The Short Fuse

Don’t let that 1-0 scoreline fool you, Arsenal smashed Leicester City. Those nerves down the stretch were the natural product of being in the title race, not due to any particular threat from Leicester City. They’d allowed an average of 1.5 xG over their last four matches, but held Leicester to 0.01 xG today. Arsenal are back to five points clear of Manchester City with the same number of matches played. City play Bournemouth today, then Arsenal even the match tally with a midweek fixture against Everton.

Arsenal vs. Brighton: Carabao Cup - 5 Questions with We Are Brighton

How seriously should Mikel Arteta take the League Cup? That lifts them into 7th place, a brilliant first half of the Premier League season. These two sides have met several times in the FA Cup, but it has been quite a while since they’ve faced off in the League Cup. In fact, the two have played twice in the League Cup, but both iterations came in 1979, just one month apart. With Arsenal in title contention and competing in Europe, your focus will obviously be on frying bigger fish than the League Cup.

Arsenal 0 - Newcastle 0 match report: frustrating

The more I watch the replay, however, the stronger of a claim I think Arsenal have. I’m torn between rating it “a bit harsh to give” and “you’ve seen them given” but Arsenal didn’t get it. I agree with Mikel Arteta’s assessment of how Arsenal played tonight. Arsenal out-everything’ed Newcastle in every aspect of the match other than on the scoreboard, which admittedly, is the important bit. But it’s a frustrating outcome for how the match played out, especially with Manchester City lurking in second place.

Arsenal 4 - Brighton 2: seven points clear

Arsenal were handed an opportunity to extend their lead at the top of the Premier League table with both Manchester City and Newcastle dropping points. The Gunners beat Brighton & Hove Albion 4-2 to head into 2023 seven points clear. Coming into today’s match, Brighton had conceded just 6 goals at home all season and were a bogey team for Arsenal. Arsenal scored early to set the tone. Better that they both put in poor shifts in a win than to cost Arsenal points with mistakes.

Sundance Film Festival Review: “Beyond Utopia” — Escape (for Some) from North Korea

By David D’ArcyBeyond Utopia is a grim reminder that, against growing odds, people keep leaving North Korea, or try to. For escapees from North Korea, the illegal but once-routine passage through China via bribes and forged documents has become dangerous. Veterans of the escape routes out of North Korea say that anyone caught attempting to flee might be executed. As with escapees from North Korea, they are prey to brokers who demand more money when things get difficult. Beyond Utopia is a grim reminder that, against growing odds, people keep leaving North Korea, or try to.

Theater Review: Bill Irwin’s “On Beckett” — A Splendidly Literate Treat

By Bill MarxIn his virtuoso one-man show, Bill Irwin pays adroit homage to the language and vision of Samuel Beckett. On Beckett, written and performed by Bill Irwin. In his splendid one-man show On Beckett, Bill Irwin, another ace interpreter of work of the Nobel Laureate, pays homage to the master’s language. Still, I could have used less business devoted to music hall and more performances of Beckett’s work. He created and edited WBUR Online Arts, a cultural webzine that in 2004 won an Online Journalism Award for Specialty Journalism.

Republicans always choose radicalization to energize their electoral base

January 6 obviously wasn’t enough for Republicans in Congress to actually impeach or for conservatives to break with Trump in any meaningful way. I have no doubt that many Republicans, like McConnell himself, personally despise Trump for summoning a mob to attack the Capitol. That’s partly because Republican elites understand they can’t win without the base, and the base remains committed to Trumpism. They have led to a situation in which moments of brief uncertainty almost always result in a further radicalization of the Republican party and the right in general. It has shaped Republican politics for a long time and has almost always overwhelmed attempts to moderate since at least the 1990s, an era in which a more explicitly anti-democratic populism moved to the center of Republican politics.
