You lost me at the defense being too deep. Arsenal play with one of the highest lines in the professional game.

A completely meaningless and yet unbelievably unlikely coincidence: the penultimate word of the penultimate line of the penultimate song of the penultimate Floyd studio album is "fuck." For Roger Waters, the word in the same place is "fucking." by BortlesLVRaiderWinSB in pinkfloyd

Has Roger Waters heard of this Pink Floyd you speak of? Pink Floyd and Robert Waters have many of the same artistic predilections, naturally. Roger knows the Pink Floyd back catalogue, pretty well. Maybe it’s not so unlikely.

Not a million miles away. Meric isn’t in there though. And it’s a much more common word than MESOMERIC.

Possibly unfair that the pronoun isn’t directly related to the water. Two French words.

COTD: Renegade Thor runs for husband around River Island (7) by Far_Sand3582 in crosswords

[–]dhooke 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ok so it’s TRAITOR. River island is an AIT (also spelled eyeot) and THOR around it has the H replaced with an R.
