I Love You, Ethan ('24-25 Nottingham Forest Home 3-0)

I crave a revolution in global consciousness, and end to capitalist realism, but only desire a future in which Arsenal always beat Forest 3-0 away.

Watching Arsenal win, aesthetically – the highlights are better than any pornography, any form of distilled pleasure, could ever be. 

I am moved to tears by the images of Raheem Sterling’s cutback for Ethan Nwaneri’s first league goal, somehow demonstrating that justice, and hope, and beauty, still exist in the world.

Ethan Nwaneri, born 16 years and 12 days after me, destined to be a footballer, an artist, my hero. What a player.
