    Yes, the official even admitted it afterwards, didn't he. ̶B̶a̶s̶t̶a̶r̶d̶ Silly man.
    "Plenty of strikers can score goals," he said, gesturing to the famous old stands casting shadows around us.

    "But a lot have found it difficult wearing the number 9 shirt for The Arsenal."

    Good point. That was what really screwed us, wasn't it; the original ref getting set up and framed wearing a Barcelona shirt. The whole thing was made to look as though we were accusing the officials of bias when it had nothing to do with us, did it.

    It was similar to 1988 when The Million Dollar man used a man who had plastic surgery to replace the real referee in order for Andrea the Giant to defeat Hulk Hogan for the world title.

    Sounds interesting, but before my time. More importantly, before my sons' time.

    Germans, you see. They always enjoy a good laugh.

    Exhibit A: In Berlin the other day, enjoying some of the local swill, the mustard on offer to accompany bar snacks was resplendent under the name "Bautz'ner", apparently named for the legendary Stasi, Nazi "secret" prison. Gave me quite a start, I can tell you.

    My mind was put at rest though, as I was informed with a chuckle that the condiment firm is actually a little older than the penitentiary. Phew.
