Excellent German word, schadenfreude - taking pleasure in the misfortune of others. I experienced it when Emirates airlines flew a fan, who had never seen Arsenal play, firstclass from Kenya.
Club legend Gilberto Silva met him at the airport and he had an excellent seat at the ground.
Then, magnificently, he watched Arsenal get beat 3-0 by Brighton.
Shouldn't laugh but, depending when you're reading this, my beloved Leeds Utd are about to be/ have been relegated, so I'm taking any sort of joy where I can.
Anyways. Schadenfreude. Lot of it going around Labour currently - mostly non-football-related - as the Tories continue to implode.
For a long time, Labour's strategy has been to sit back and watch it happen. I'm not a fan of this but it is increasingly hard to argue with.
