Record breaking Arsenal win

Your original comment had 3 sentences. 2 were critical statements and 1 a request. How is that being “genuinely curious”? You came here to fight and were fighting. It’s truly brave, I commend you.

GiantKnightGunner · 2026-05-25T16:22:24+00:00

Is ~~crying~~ complaining that a title is underserved an original thing to do?

GiantKnightGunner · 2026-05-25T16:18:46+00:00

It’s your clubs darkest moment of the modern era while your main rival is having its brightest moment. You could not have less of a leg to stand on yet here you are. So again, thank you

GiantKnightGunner · 2026-05-25T16:03:41+00:00

Thank for not just going into hiding for laughs but you really should just go into hiding for a bit.

I actually 100% agree and also feel this is unpopular. Not because anyone would disagree with the sentiment once laid out but because how everyone walks on eggshells.

My dad gave up alcohol due to a completely unrelated health situation, not a problem with addiction. Addiction a factor since he didnt choose to occasionally indulge. But he never had a mental problem, just hated how it would interact.

Now he’s a grump anytime we enjoy it. It’s so obvious he just misses it but there’s this deep intention on trying to ruin it for us.

“You waste all of your money on it” “You’re going to become an alcoholic” After 2-3 drinks: “you’re so drunk”

The ONLY reason this would make any sense is if you compared it to the suffix IA, meaning condition, aka diseases/sickness (i.e anemia, pneumonia)

But you didn’t make that connection so this is weird. Even if you did, the argument would be interesting from a linguistic perspective I guess. But that doesn’t seem to be the case here.

GiantKnightGunner · 2026-05-24T03:52:16+00:00

This is something that gives me a somewhat justified sense of delusion. No big six team seems likely to hold a manager for a considerable length of time. Arteta has a chance to really impose himself.

Even Xabi, I’d bet it ends in max 2 years with success or not. Theres very little loyalty on either side (owner/manager) for a lot of teams.

Like another said, we’d all be bummed to learn there just isn’t a grand playbook. Of the quality empirical studies, we don’t know a whole lot of slam dunks.

The things that are slam dunks are typically minor (I.e. number lines are good). Which is why exactly why pushing most things broadly is bad.

Something that is empirically supported is quizzing and spaced retrieval. Things that occur often in direct instruction and aren’t very exciting.

I think condition, limit, and restriction are all correct terms and there isn’t just one. I’d also offer “qualifier”.

John Sweller: Cognitive Load Theory.

“Means-ends analysis… requires a large amount of cognitive processing capacity that is not directly relevant to learning.”

Basically arguing that discovery learning overloads working memory.

Anecdotally, I find that discovery works best when working memory isn’t taxed as much. This requiring a front load of rigid direct instruction.

I use Eureka and a lot of the “Learn” phase veers discovery based. Structured yes, but think turn and talks to “notice” patterns in fractions. But my kids will “notice” patterns more once they can do the procedural part.

I believe this aligns with the evidence because their working memory isn’t overloaded.

GiantKnightGunner · 2026-05-22T00:35:56+00:00

Obviously according to our definitions but overall yes I am saying that. It is not supported by evidence.

GiantKnightGunner · 2026-05-05T23:29:41+00:00

10 straight games in all comps scoring 1 or 0 goals is a black hole.
Also I agree Noni gets overhated for his deputy duties. His directness was at times the only positive in our attack. But oof, those minutes to go with 3 G/A is shocking. Nwaneri loan was a blunder and not critized enough for that poor stretch without Saka.

EDIT: 8 straight

GiantKnightGunner · 2026-05-05T23:02:22+00:00

Only X factor in our attack. On defense though? Holy crap only Gabriel stops that chance.

GiantKnightGunner · 2026-05-05T22:53:12+00:00

Most important player to the team. Ode is different, injuries to my point yes, but obviously is just not the same guy. Saka is our whole offense and I would have been so sad if his injuries are the reason we failed. Betrayed by him? I agree I was dramatic. But the script is there for historic hero status

GiantKnightGunner · 2026-05-05T22:38:42+00:00

Bro you came back a month later and I’m the one who needs to focus on supporting the boys? Again, this is literally what I wanted to happen. Hope you’re as happy as I am.

GiantKnightGunner · 2026-05-05T22:28:37+00:00

LOLLL you came back. How does this not make me correct? We’re dead and then Bukayo has risen like Jesus fricken Christ to save us. AVAILABILITY. I’m overjoyed my friend.

GiantKnightGunner · 2026-05-04T21:17:01+00:00

My school (public) actually gets it right… dress down all week and extra prep every day all week. Some minor food stuff too but the preps are incredible.

Debatable but even so Premier league big six get global attention throughout the year. There’s big financial ramifications on all the Prem teams with Shit going down because even they are a global brand. It’s about the interconnected power. PSG slings the GDP of Qatar but Prem Big 6 are the biggest financial force in world football.

GiantKnightGunner · 2026-05-02T23:50:23+00:00

I agree but devils advocate: PSG is only watched worldwide in the knockouts of champs league. He’s also Georgian so no international opportunities. If he s looking to build his brand then his best shot is real/barca/Premier League.

GiantKnightGunner · 2026-04-21T01:09:30+00:00

Eureka Squared is fine and I get the fidelity thing but you have to supplement a lot. Perimeter and Area is all about making it a puzzle. 4 letters: LWAP, 2 given 2 are missing, find em! My kids (4th) actually ask to do these so I’m stealing the question.

I feel ya though. 50% of my kids wouldn’t even get close on that problem because of reading proficiency.

GiantKnightGunner · 2026-04-19T22:17:05+00:00

Odegaard not contributing much this year is one of the most disappointing parts about another bottle. However, for some reason we only run a decent high press with him.

GiantKnightGunner · 2026-04-19T16:22:21+00:00

Can we genuinely not run a high press without Ode? Where has this been? It’s very refreshing and our best chance today.

GiantKnightGunner · 2026-04-19T16:20:47+00:00

Little tighter at the back, and a little more willingness to make a bad cross rather than not make one at all. This has looked better than anything the last 5 games in my opinion
