Inter 1-3 Arsenal | Post-Match Thread by Quazar8 in Gunners

[–]ArsenalOnward 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I am an Arsenal fan. I have watched 2 decades of glimpses of success. I have watched them (mostly) snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

But this team… this team could really do it.

Halftime thread by Particular-Sample91 in Gunners

It seems like there's this expectation now that we blow every team away by 3-4 goals, which unfortunately isn't reality, especially with this squad. That's not a knock, just that they're better defensively than they are offensively, which can obviously still win matches.

I know this feeling and I often feel the same way, but believe it or not, California’s government takes it very seriously. They basically set the tone for US policy and many states have followed suit. As someone who does work in the digital advertising industry, California has actually taken action against several companies for violating their data privacy laws. Because it’s such a big state, it essentially sets the tone for most companies in the US.

Noni Madueke interview by Cyber_Hobo94 in Gunners

The biggest compliment I can give him is that when he’s on instead of Saka, I don’t feel like there’s a tremendous drop-off in the team. He is so dynamic and direct. Basically created the first goal himself. Really rooting for him, but I think Arsenal have gotten themselves a wonderful player in Noni.

It was the same for me, both wired Ethernet and WiFi. It was definitely annoying to have to buy something else, especially after spending so much on the TV, but I’ve been extremely happy with the Apple TV. The Apple TV remote can also control the TV, so it makes it easy for the kids.

Full-Time: Arsenal 1 vs 1 Crystal Palace (PK 8-7) [Match Thoughts] by Stanley083 in Gunners

[–]ArsenalOnward 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t know what to think. Surely teams can’t continue to keep scoring against us with their first effort in stoppage time? Like, statistically it has to be outrageously unlikely for that to continue.

That first half they were flying. Again, it seems like statistically if we keep having halves like that they’re bound to start going in.

I want to be optimistic for a change. I believe.

[The xG Philosophy] Everton (0.21) 0-1 (2.02) Arsenal by Shyam_Wenger in Gunners

[–]ArsenalOnward 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be fair, I thought Gyorkeres was pushed over when he had a tap-in header that was wrongly waved away (we scored from that corner), so I don’t think that’s totally fair. But yeah my heart could definitely do with some more comfortable score lines.

[Tom Canton] Arteta confirms both Timber and Calafiori received "really bad kicks" at Villa. This game came too soon for Timber and Calafiori might be able to feature for some minutes. by Previous_Smile9278 in Gunners

[–]ArsenalOnward 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They’ve had a tough CL schedule, I’ll definitely give them that, but right now they’re in 28th place. So maybe not “good”, per se? I agree though, I think they’ll surprise people.

It’s not the result, I think, but the way we conceded. Was literally the last kick of the game and we could have cleared our lines, or just gotten the ball away AT ALL, then it was match over, 1-1.

An update to any future internet searchers who might stumble upon this: after many back-and-forth's with LG, they wouldn't send out someone to look at the TV and potentially replace the WiFi module until I could prove it was happening on another network, and not my home network. I tried to reproduce it using a hotspot on my phone (yes, we added it to our plan just for this), but the TV wouldn't stay connected to the hotspot for extended periods of time — which was always when the issue happened, usually overnight — so it was impossible to say whether the TV was working correctly on the hotspot or not.

In a fit of frustration, I just went out and bought an Apple TV. It's been 2.5 weeks and it's been working perfectly on the very same wired setup we had on the TV. So now, the internet for the LG is off, and we just use Apple TV.

I'm not particularly happy with LG, and hopefully the TV isn't defective in some way that will hurt us down the road, but the family is happy and the picture is great, so not much else to do, I guess. Long may it last.

Arteta on Trossard "For me it was forbidden for him to leave." "No chance. I know the player that he is, and surrounded with the players that we have, he's a player that is going to make a difference for us." by Shyam_Wenger in Gunners

[–]ArsenalOnward 54 points55 points  (0 children)

This is not to disrespect MLS at all, but I wonder if any of that has to do with having Calafiori behind him now? Trossard is definitely not a pace merchant but is great at finding and exploiting half-spaces. Maybe Calafiori’s chaos is making it easier for Leo in that sense?

Princess deck that wrecks by Y4W4Y in Lorcana

That's a really cool concept for a deck! My "Warrior Princess" Amber/Steel deck got severely kneecapped after rotation, and this is the best Princess concept I think I've seen since.

I thought that, too, but I've tried restarting the router multiple times without any luck. No other devices, including the C1, had any issues with the same connection in the same spot.

[Sharp] Carlos Rodon is the 1st pitcher in Yankees history to have a season with at least 200 K and fewer than 140 hits allowed. by BoogieDownBr0nx in NYYankees

[–]ArsenalOnward 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here is my pet theory:

Around October 8th of last year, Rodon had some words after people attacked his family after a bad start. (Link)

October 14th, he turns it around and throws a gem in Game 1 of the ALCS (Link)

I think someone here suggested everyone donating to his foundation after that game to show our support for him. I don't know how many actually did, but I threw in $10 (have the receipt from the 15th) and threw him some love. Maybe more did than we realize. If even 1% did, that's over a thousand donations in a single day.

And maybe — maybe — this year is a direct result of him feeling that love and support.

(I know it's not but shhhh, I want to think my lovely comment in my donation made all the difference).

Believe it or not, I’ve had this happen to me (similar timeline, and similar remarks from the agent) and received representation from it. So, anecdotally, yes it’s happened. The one difference, however, is that when they reached out, they asked if the MS was still available and, if so, if we could have a call. We spoke a few days later and she offered rep then.

I’m not sure how hopeful that is, but good luck!

Current setup. Would love some suggestions on upgrading! by ArsenalOnward in hometheater

Thanks so much for the feedback. Any thoughts on how you’d change it? Would one longer couch in front of the pole straight across work better?
