Shortly after the 4-1 evisceration at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday night – a title decider that felt at times like an entirely self-contained event, Manchester City’s players simply having a conversation with themselves – Arsenal’s Twitter feed posted 30 seconds of approved Aaron Ramsdale apology content.
Ramsdale thanked the fans. He spoke nicely about the need to keep on keeping on. In a moment of arch, algorithm-driven satire this post was accompanied by a sponsored advert for something called “the New Melts”, a horrific-looking pizza-style food product, pictured in grisly closeup sagging out of its cardboard skin.
