DEJECTED: Arsenal’s Emile Smith Rowe reacts during the League Cup semi final second leg match

How’s your week been? I’ve had a bad one. 

Wasn’t it awful watching Boris Johnson lie through his teeth at PMQs this week? With leadership so poor, so duplicitous, so agonisingly inept, so clearly full of cronyism and corruption, disdain and deceit, that it made you want to weep in frustration at the situation. 

I should add, in these challenging times, that politics — and hatred for the Tories — aside I am lucky enough that a bad week for me involves sport, not bad things happening in real life. Thankfully.
