What do you mean by social contrast?

No idea! Prob worth waiting for if so but it’s like on every platform. A big time sink. The only other games I’ve played in the last 7 years are the two Zelda’s, which coincidently I finished at 115 hours each.

I’m glad we didn’t pad out our strikers with someone we didn’t plan for. We’ve been stuck with strikers like that in the past which have held us back and led to us giving them away / paying them off. The league is gone anyway and a few options would have been cup tied for the CL

If we can’t get the ones we want then none. Take it on the chin this season as it’s almost gone anyway, let’s not cause an issue for future seasons. Fire the powder or keep it dry, don’t get it damp.

Depends on how you define win, so maybe?

Thank you for listening to my Arsenal Ted Talk 😂 maybe if I could add one thing it would be to switch Camden beer for Hammerton or Two Tribes. I would say Beavertown but you know…

Ambitions. We need 2-3 attackers, a striker/wide attacker and a creative mid. Not all poss. in Jan but given the league, I’m not too pressured. Better wait than buy badly. A cup and top 3 would be good. Given the shite we’ve been through so far, i’m more forgiving of no silverware this season.

…Even Adidas are getting it right plus all the great collabs with London street wear is peak. Bad for the wallet tho! Tickets are like gold dust. Let’s expand the stadium!

Vibes. Despite PGMOL’s best efforts, the work Arteta and the club have done in recent years has been brilliant. The vibes around the ground and islington is palpable. Buzzing…

…I think the league is prob gone for us as while I think Liverpool will drop points, I can’t see us winning every game. 9 points is a lot!

League. It very much feels like that season when Leicester won the title, where one team is pulling away from competition dropping points right, left and centre. That’s prob a disservice to Liverpool, they’ll finish with
more points than Leicester did…

…Playing in Europe is like a breath of fresh air, the refereeing set up here suffer from delusions of grandeur. Need some independent oversight. Bizarrely I am now in a situation where I am moderately happy if we drop points without controversy.

PGMOL 🖕 This is what really grinds my gears. Too many instances of new precedents being made against Arsenal, which are then not repeated for anyone else, such as the “preventing restarting” - it happens 20 times every Saturday. The Saliba header / Gabriel foul that VAR skipped as well 🤦♂️…

…this has led to us playing very flat. When you’re depleted you naturally look to lock things down, plus we were quite light on the attacking options at the start of the season. Time to free Isak? 🧵

Luck. To win the league you need consistency and luck. The team Arteta has put together is as consistent as I’ve seen but the luck with Injuries has been horrible. Missing key players plus putting more minutes into others and even needing them to play through illness….

The Boyz. Highlight so far for me is the emergence of Nwaneri (17) and MLS (18). The local
Boys look great and not out of place. Exciting futures for these two indeed. It’s also nice to have the next group come through post Saka, which probably now makes him a mentor. Always our star boy though.

To be fair to the ref, they are consistently inconsistent

Kinda wish we stopped crossing it in the air and just kept it on the ground. No Kai.

I wonder if he just doesn’t fit the way we play anymore. In the last 2 years or so, we dominate possession high up. It was about the the same time he started to have less of an impact.

If we go for a loan from Europe, would a player that would be cup tied for the CL be a limiting factor? Or in the parlance of my other half, “a red flag”?
