±±I’ve been thinking of this for a while now — this feels like an okay time to try something unique and different. Why use word when emoji can sometimes encapsulate things perfectly?
That said I was going to try and type out the entire article, including introductory paragraphs, entirely in emoji as I thought that would be a fun little exercise. But have you ever actually tried to do an extended emoji thought-piece? Sweet baby jesus is that obnoxious and difficult. Not only do you have to think carefully about what you are communicating, but you have to find the exact right combination of emoji to get the point across. Who has the time?
Tottenham Hotspur lost a London Derby 4-3 to Chelsea at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, and just like last season they went up 2-0 before capitulating and shipping four goals. Last season it was going down to 9 men. This time it was two stupid penalties given away by Yves Bissouma and Pape Sarr. Ugh.
Here are your Tottenham Hotspur player ratings for the match, summarized by emoji. Ur welcome.
