How you viewed one particular moment of last night's draw with Chelsea probably says quite a lot about you. Now, there will never be any moral judgements from Latest News, unless you happen to be a small-handed puppet of the deep state, and so we will not hazard any guesses as to what your reaction...
Today, on Sky Sports' dedicated news channel, a fellow in a suit, nominally a broadcast journalist, stood in front of a monitor which displayed a visual representation of all that is wrong with the world.
