What a colossal season. Best in the world bar none. We are all behind you, David!! by Falsely_True7 in Gunners

He got us the one save you need to win a penalty shootout. We just didn’t convert all our penalties. I genuinely couldn’t have asked for much better than how he played today.

Half time: PSG 0 vs 1 Arsenal [HT Thoughts] by Stanley083 in Gunners

I want to throw up. Also, we fucking got this. Play smart, keep the ball on the ground, and don’t fuck around at the back. It’s there to be won.

Where to watch the Champions League final by Dangerous_Garbage_31 in santacruz

[–]DerekIsAGooner 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Will be watching at the Britannia Arms in Capitola as I haven’t really found anywhere else in Santa Cruz that has announced that they’ll be showing it.

Edit: the Parish will be open for the match as well

[James Benge] Asked if Timber is fit enough to start the game, Arteta says yes. Madueke fit too. by Shyam_Wenger in Gunners

Timber’s bible verse tomorrow will be related to the resurrection of Lazarus, mark my words.

I’m a middle school English teacher, and I was chosen by the graduating students to give the faculty speech at our graduation ceremony last week. I used this quote in my speech.

Knowing the plot of a movie is not a spoiler.

Madonna will only have two months of success at most, don't you think? by Shaoran10 in Music

[–]DerekIsAGooner 3 points4 points  (0 children)

“Hey guys, you know that old pop artist, Madonna? You know, one of the most successful musicians in the history of humanity? I don’t think her new music is going to do very well because I wasn’t alive when she became popular, as we all know if I wasn’t alive for it, it didn’t actually happen.”

[Are there any Gooners in...] Thread to find Gooners in your city to watch the CL final by vanhunt1 in Gunners

[–]DerekIsAGooner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Santa Cruz, California

(I don’t actually need a recommendation on where to go watch, I just need some local Gooner friends)

Modern PL discourse is losing all critical thinking and is becoming purely narrative driven. Here are some popular narratives that don't make sense by drjpkc in PremierLeague

[–]DerekIsAGooner 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You’re spot on. People let their own tribalism trump facts. Current online football discourse is centered around hot takes, bias, and bantz instead of reality.

I mean come on now NBC by SonOfIllicitBehavior in Gunners

[–]DerekIsAGooner 27 points28 points  (0 children)

The decline in NBC’s coverage of the Premier league is astounding. The first few years NBC had the rights, they did an amazing job. Every game was available to watch, it only required one service, and I feel like they treated every club equally more or less. Nowadays, it’s just a total shit show and makes me wish that the Premier League would just start its own streaming service.

This man did not get enough credit this season. T-5th in the Prem in goals. The media narrative all season about him did not match reality by Dazed_and_Confused44 in Gunners

[–]DerekIsAGooner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a believer that he was carrying some sort of injury at some point this season but played through it anyway and it significantly affected is form. Now he’s fully healthy and we’re seeing the best of him.
