We're sure you're probably bored of us ranting about the Arsenal entitlement by now with their bizarre courtship of Alexander Isak but they keep finding new ways to tick us off.
Newcastle United fans have had to endure plenty of speculation around their top players moving on to so-called bigger clubs.
Bruno Guimaraes has been linked with an exit since he first showed any signs of class at Newcastle. Sandro Tonali has been reported as heading back to Milan before he even touched down in Newcastle.
However, none of these links have had anywhere near the levels of cringe attached to them as the stories surrounding Alexander Isak and Arsenal.
There's a weird belief around Arsenal from the media, pundits and fans, that Isak somehow belongs at Arsenal. The way they're going on is as if we have him on loan and it's just a matter of time until he returns.
Isak's form this season, and the fact that he's got Newcastle into the title race and competing for silverware on three fronts is killing them.
While some pundits are starting to let it go, the media are like a dog with a bone and there's no outlet out there worse than Football London when it comes to that Capital-entitlement.
Today they have written a piece with this headline: "Benjamin Sesko to Newcastle United gives Arsenal run at mega money Alexander Isak transfer". Their suggestion is if Newcastle sign Benjamin Sesko, then Arsenal can have Isak and everyone is happy.
It's Arsenal who are chasing Sesko at the moment. Newcastle have been linked in the past, but there's nothing suggesting that the Magpies are lining up a bid for the Slovenian any time soon. They don't even mention in their own article that Newcastle even want Sesko.
But it's so nice of Football London to suggest that Arsenal will let us have a player we don't currently want and they can have Isak from us. How chuffing noble.
