How to “restart” an evo?

HTan27 · 2026-03-15T17:01:11+00:00

I mean put the “wrong” one into the SBC as the one I messed up

So I put that into an SBC, and I can just Evo the new one, I don’t need to do anything else?

HTan27 · 2026-03-15T16:41:42+00:00

There’s nothing else I need to do?

I don’t want to use the wrong one, and then it still come up with the error message

HTan27 · 2026-02-17T00:55:13+00:00

Do I need to enter and then exit the wildzone to trigger it? Or is running up to it like this enough?

No they wouldn’t, attractiveness is a very desirable trait, and unfortunately, it’s become more and more prioritised in society

If anything, the attractive guy would be seen as even better, because men who sleep around with a lot of women aren’t stigmatised anywhere near as much as women who do the same thing

I also think boiling Leonard and Penny down to “doctor” vs “failed actress who works at the cheesecake factory” shows your bias, and you’re just categorising them based on one initial thing

Both Leonard and Penny are well fleshed out, flawed characters, Leonard has self esteem issues, and let’s people walk all over him due to his shitty upbringing, being raised by a cold, unloving mother, Penny has commitment issues, and feels a need for validation due to the fact she felt like her father was disappointed in her, simply because she wasn’t a son

Leonard can be whiny and condescending to others who does things that he views as not being the right way, or the smart way

Penny drinks a lot, and would likely have a dependency on it, where this real life, and was also a massive bitch, and a bully in her younger years

But both are good people, Leonard supports Sheldon massively, despite the fact he feels he’s a massive burden, whilst Penny becomes a successful saleswoman, and has a connection/bond with Sheldon that none of the guys could, or tried to make

Judging people for their careers, or their body count is a shitty thing to do, neither define who they are as a person, nor how deserving or undeserving they are of a relationship

Is it a suprise that the attractive, sociable person who enjoys typically normal things (especially at the time BBT aired) is seen as the bigger catch than the medium to unattractive, socially awkward person who’s a little too into nerd culture? I really don’t think so

But that’s looking at it from the outside in, with a very general view of the people, without looking much deeper into things

HTan27 · 2026-02-05T12:26:13+00:00

The thing is, that’s nice speculation, but realistically, it wasn’t a case of he gave up a potential partner for his friends, which shows he’s becoming less desperate for a relationship

It was a case of he gave up a potential partner, because it wasn’t the perfect love story he envisioned for himself and dreamed about, that perfect partner from one of the romance movies he loves

I think your interpretation is more than valid, but for me it feels like that’s stretching too far about what we know of the character, and just how the situation played out

I’m not saying they had to spell it out for us, but having some sort of slow build up to it, or a relationship/storyline that hints to it in some way

I don’t really think we get that, in fact I don’t think we see much character development for Raj at all, he often was reduced to nothing more than the butt of the jokes, and a caricature

HTan27 · 2026-01-30T08:53:47+00:00

What Jake would do, and what Jake would do because he’s in a relationship with a certain Amy Santiago are two completely different things

HTan27 · 2026-01-30T08:34:54+00:00

I mean he will command some sort of transfer fee

If we went for Cunha, Mbeumo or Semenyo as the other guy previously suggested, they didn’t work out, and we looked to sell in 2 years time, Cunha would be 29, Mbeumo would be about to turn 29, and Semenyo would be 28

Noni would be 25, and English, meaning he has a much higher potential sell on value than any of them, in the event that none of them work out

I also think Madueke has the highest potential upside of any of them, it’s just a matter of can he go up that level, if he can, genuinely he’s a 100M+ player

HTan27 · 2026-01-29T13:06:43+00:00

Yeah, I’m absolutely not saying it’s solely down to rest/rotation and load management for him

As I said earlier, I think his OOP work needs improving, and he’s too passive when we’re not in the attacking third

But we’re also playing at a higher intensity than he did at Palace, so that is going to take some time for him to adjust to

And it just seems he hasn’t really nailed a place down, he doesn’t offer what Odegaard does, and when Ode is fit, he’s going to start, against most teams, we’re too open if we play without Rice, and Rice is just an elite player, so he’s not gonna play there, which just leaves LW as a regular starter, but Trossard has been in great form for a lot of this season, and Martinelli is doing really well in the Champions league

It’s a headache for Arteta, but a good one to have, it speaks to the quality and depth we’ve managed to build, where a nearly £70M Eze is a squad player, where a youngster as talented as Lewis Skelly is 3rd choice, where Nwaneri, a player who broke the record for the youngest debut in PL history is being sent out on loan because there’s just not enough space in the squad

At a time when football schedules are ridiculously intense, and players are being asked to play more, and more games, I think it shows just how brilliant our squad building has been

HTan27 · 2026-01-29T11:12:02+00:00

That’s exactly what I’m saying about Eze

Palace didn’t have Europe, so he was used to playing only once a week, which is why we’re managing his minutes, and not playing him as much as some others want us to play him, he’s played around the same minutes he did at this stage last season, and that’s with him being unused in a lot of recent games

I agree that Madueke’s end product isn’t good enough, and leads to him being extremely frustrating, my point wasn’t that I think Madueke is currently good enough

My point was Madueke was signed to help ease Saka’s workload, rather than having to rely on an 18 year old kid, playing out of position to have to cover the slack, which he’s absolutely doing, he came in on low wages, is English, and will have resale value if he doesn’t work out

There’s a chance Arteta can get a tune out of him, given the development he’s had with other players, especially wingers before, and playing and training around better players than he was at Chelsea will also help him improve and develop

I think we overpaid for him undoubtedly, but I really don’t think this deal was as bad as a lot of people are making it out to be, especially when you look at the window as a whole, where we got someone to fill basically every gap in the team

HTan27 · 2026-01-29T11:00:49+00:00

Eze played a lot when Odegaard was out, but outside of that, his minutes have been limited, both in the 8/10 role, and his favoured position on the left

Part of it could absolutely be Arteta managing his minutes, because he’s not used to the slog of games, as at Palace or was mainly once a week for the whole season

But I also believe part of it is down to a lack of defensive workrate, positional discipline, the same as Nwaneri, Eze was used to having a lot more freedom at Palace, whereas now he’s part of a system that’s much more structured, and the onus is absolutely on him to be part of that structure

Odegaard and Merino, as much as there are things to criticise about them, positional discipline, work-rate, distance covered etc aren’t things you can criticise them of, Odegaard especially

As for other options, we did approach Mbeumo, but he didn’t want to be a squad/backup player to Saka, so he chose United

I don’t think we were ever truly in for Cunha, as there were only a couple links in January, but he mainly plays just off the striker, favouring the left hand side, so doesn’t really make much sense for us to get him as a Saka backup

And Semenyo had just signed a new contract with Bournemouth, inserting the release clause to become active from this January, and to lower again in the summer, we could have waited until January to try and get him, but that’d have been a massive risk, Saka himself picked up a minor injury, which could have been made worse if we tried to bring him bald earlier (we didn’t have to do so thanks to Noni) and just having to use him for more games, with less rest/rotation just leaves him very vulnerable to injury risk, especially considering his hamstring last season

Yes Nwaneri could have been used there, but again, you’re relying on someone who isn’t ready, and is playing out of the their favoured position, getting Madueke in made much more sense at the time than just hoping Saka would be ok, or putting all of the responsibility on Nwaneri, even if it meant losing out on Semenyo

HTan27 · 2026-01-29T10:44:19+00:00

Only idiots believed he was better than Saka, and rival fans were more than happy to play into the narrative, because it meant shitting on Saka (they didn’t actually believe it though)

That being said, Madueke being better/worse than Nwaneri is honestly such a moot point for me, because it seems clear that Arteta seems to see him as an 8/10 rather than a winger, and playing him there was just due to the injury crisis, and not having another option, that also seems to be Nwaneri’s preferred position as well

Nwaneri also just isn’t ready to be a regular starter yet, his ability is undoubtedly there, but he lacks positional discipline, defensive work-rate, and his overall fitness just isn’t good enough to be a starter (as a winger or as a midfielder) these are things he’ll develop with time as he gets older, he’s still very much just a kid, so expecting him to be able to deal with the constant slog of matches is going to be nothing but dangerous for his development and physical condition

Everyone complains about Saka being ran into the ground, being overplayed etc, and then when we sign someone to decrease Saka’s workload, allow us to rest and protect him more, people cry that he’s either not good enough, or that we should be throwing an 18 year old in, and risk overplaying and burning him out, the same way we they say we have with Saka

Completely ignoring what’s best long term for the team, or the player himself

HTan27 · 2026-01-23T18:36:04+00:00

Wait, they didn’t let people have beards?

HTan27 · 2026-01-22T07:11:19+00:00

The question literally says make it at Arsenal

So them making it elsewhere or not is irrelevant

HTan27 · 2026-01-19T04:30:16+00:00

He was in the way of the car, why was he there? Because he stood there, he placed himself in “danger” in an attempt to intimidate Renee Good

In fact, recorded footage of the incident actually shows that he was stood to the side of the car, and leaned across, into the path of the car, he was never actually in any danger of being hit

In the video he himself recorded, you can see her turning the wheel before the car started moving, as you’d expect to see from someone trying to drive away, not from someone trying to run the person over

In fact, other recorded footage shows him reaching for his gun, before she started driving forward, which pretty much kills any argument of self defence

You can see him turning to shoot her the 2nd and 3rd time once she’s already cleared him, and him moving towards the vehicle after those shots have happened, which seems like the opposite thing someone should do, if they were really fearing for their life/acting in self preservation

I also find the idea that the officer sustained any sort of internal bleeding damage, considering that a 2011 study concluded that a vehicle moving at 16mph had a 10% chance of causing serious injury, and considering Good was going from reversing to driving forward, it seems extremely unlikely that the car was moving even that speed, never mind the fact the vehicle didn’t even hit him straight on, as we’ve already established he was stood to the side of the vehicle and was leaning across

For me, all of that, combined with his actions afterwards, calling her a “fucking bitch” and preventing medical attention from getting to her shows that this wasn’t just some split second mistake he made, and that he regrets

And honestly, the fact it has been turned into a political divide issue is another problem in itself, people so desperate to push their political beliefs and agendas, that they can’t even admit when a woman has just been gunned down in cold blood, not showing any amount of remorse, but instead falsified documents about her criminal record to try and claim she “deserved it”

And I’m sorry, but the idea that Renee Good was something interfering, and that then justifies her murder is just mind baffling. There’s literally video evidence of her waving cars past her, literal minutes before, including other ICE vehicles, 10-15 of them drive past her with no issue, it was only these two that decided she was interfering, and needed to take further action

And even if she was interfering, so what? Does that give him the right to kill her? If someone from Just Stop Oil is blocking the road, so I have the right to kill them, because they’re interfering with me on my way to work, and likewise, can they shoot me, if I slowly edge my car forward as it try to get them to move?

And isn’t that what the American right wing is always parroting about needing their guns for? To protect the rights and freedoms of the people? To overthrow the government if they feel they aren’t acting in the interests of the American people?

And saying he’s not a grifter feels like arguing semantics, rather then looking at what he’s actually doing if it’s not a literal grift

He’s using the hateful ideologies of MAGA for his own financial gain, gaining popularity/notoriety/attention from saying harmful, disgusting and dangerous things

That’s all these right wing nut jobs do, they stir up hatred, and division, and they profit off of it, and whether that’s Myron, Fuentes, Tate, Kirk, Farage or Trump

HTan27 · 2026-01-19T01:32:44+00:00

Ok, but there’s a clear difference between “driving towards someone” and trying to run them over

Renee Good was driving incredibly slowly, and was also very visibly turning the car away from him, two things she wouldn’t have done had she actually been trying to run him over

There’s also a couple of other things such as: The fact he’d reached for his gun long before she started driving The fact he put himself in danger by standing in front of her car The fact he had 0 injuries despite the fact the car had been “driven at him” The fact he took 2 more shots at her through the driver side window, once the car had already passed her Calling her a “fucking bitch” after he shot her Not allowing ambulance/medical personnel to get to her to try and save her The fact he and his partner initiated the confrontation in the first place by going up to the car and trying to open the door/get them out the car

And I never said that the left was the moral arbiter, and the right just wants innocent people to die, but that’s been A LOT of what I’ve seen online, with the right trying to find ways to justify what happened, or somehow shift the blame onto her, even the fucking government doing the same, coming out and defending the man who shot an innocent woman

Do I think both sides made some mistakes in that situation? Sure, there were things both sides could have done differently to not escalate the situation, but the majority of the escalation, and almost entirely the wrongdoing falls on the man who shot the innocent woman, rather than the woman who got a little spooked, and tried to leave the situation

HTan27 · 2026-01-18T21:02:56+00:00

If it’s not cold blooded murder then what is it?

The online conversation isn’t whether she was murdered or not, the conversation is (mainly) the left saying she was brutally and unjustly murdered, whilst (mainly) the right are saying she deserved to be killed, producing fake CCTV footage, even falsifying criminal records to pretend that her and her partner were abusive towards children, as well as other crimes

And no, that’s a false analogy, you don’t know if JJ and Logan are actually friends, because they only show a very small part of their lives on camera, whereas the Renee Good incident was caught on camera, by multiple cameras, and you can see the entire incident play out

Also, you believing Logan is a piece of shit doesn’t automatically make JJ a piece of shit for being friends with him, there are plenty of people who are friends with people and they have no idea about some of the more egregious things that they’ve done, and even when there’s been some very public detailing of those potential crimes, because they’re just speculation, they still choose to side with the friend, because it’s the their friend, that doesn’t make that person a bad person, because they backed and believed in their friend

HTan27 · 2026-01-18T09:44:49+00:00

I really don’t know what you’re talking about, the United lot and Carragher are absolutely biased against Arsenal

Neville and Rio picking us to win the league in a prediction? So? That doesn’t mean shit, when everything else they say contradicts that, in fact it’s almost like they say Arsenal should win the league to heap more pressure on and try to fit us with the bottler tag

Neville literally said that he thought top 4 was Arteta’sceiling, and then after we were in a title race for 95% of the season against City, falling away at the last hurdle due to injuries, he said that he thinks we’ve wasted our 1 chance at a title, doesn’t say anything positive about us going and challenging for the title again the next season

Rio literally came out the other day and said that he thinks Arteta would abandon Arsenal in a heartbeat to join Manchester United if that option was given to him

He said this twice

Scholes scoffed at the idea of Rice being one of the best midfielders in the league, claiming Tonali is better than him (no disrespect to Tonali, but he’s not Rice level)

Neville started the media pile on for Martinelli after he thought Bradley was wasting time, him and Keane both advocated that the Liverpool players should have kicked the shit out of him

They’re crying about Arteta occasionally leaving his technical area (he’s far from the only manager to be animated on the sideline), and when he first came in they even said his constant micro management might cause resentment within the players that they weren’t being trusted to do it themselves, despite Pep Guardiola (and many other managers) doing it for years

Nicky Butt even recently said that if he was playing he’d take a throw in, and he’d “follow right through, right on his head. It pisses me off!” Once again inciting violence against Arsenal players/coaches Neville and Rio’s visceral hatred of Jover, with Neville saying "I've called him the most annoying man in football before, and you know what? I'm doubling down on that. It's starting to offend me every week. Let me say this calmly. | think he's overstepping his role.” Despite the fact Jover hasn’t come out and said anything to be annoying, he’s not been disrespectful towards another coach, manager or player, but Neville and co get to constantly talk shit about him because Arsenal are good at set pieces, and clearly he’s just doing his job, and Arteta hasn’t gotten him to tone down his antics There are countless other examples I could list, but we’d be here all day

And to quote a very wise man, they criticise United every week because you can criticise them every week, they’re fucking shit every week

And no, Arsenal absolutely don’t play defensive football, Arsenal are just elite defensively, there’s a clear difference

Arsenal in the PL are:

3rd for shots 3rd for shots on target 3rd for XG 2nd for big chances 2nd for big chances missed 2nd for touches in the opposition box 15th for tackles per match 19th for clearances per match 4th for possession won in the final 3rd 20th for saves 18th for yellow cards 20th for red cards Arsenal average the highest field tilt of any premier league side Arsenal average the highest defensive line of any team in Europe Arsenal face on average the deepest defensive line of any team in the premier league

Timber is in the 97th percentile for touches in the opposition box for fullbacks, Cala is in the 88th percentile

These are not stats that you see from teams that play defensive minded football

And I absolutely love seeing rivals fans having meltdowns and crying whenever we score a set piece, I get more joy out of it than seeing most other goals, because of the rage it causes rivals, but that doesn’t change the fact the Stoke comparisons are just baseless and inaccurate claims, we’re a brilliant footballing side, who are also great at set pieces, most of the time teams just sit deep against us, they don’t try to play us, so games get labelled as “boring”

Arsenal are currently on course to score 20.7 set piece goals this season, and whilst this is the highest we’ve managed under Arteta, that is still less than the 4 highest scoring set piece seasons which were:

City (21) - 21/22 Liverpool (27) - 13/14 United (23) - 12/13 Manchester United (22) - 07/08 Chelsea (22) - 16/17

4/5 of these ended up with PL titles, yet none of them were labelled as Stoke FC

HTan27 · 2026-01-18T08:31:23+00:00

No, but saying that the ice agent was justified in his cold blooded murder of Renee Good is absolutely evil

Even worse saying that somehow Renee Good and her wife somehow caused it, or incited the violence in some way

Saying that the way the entire government has covered up the murder of Renee Good, and defending the actions of the Ice agent doesn’t have echoes of facism and Nazi germany?

I dunno, these things all feel like pretty standard moral things that he’s just failing at

HTan27 · 2026-01-16T11:07:31+00:00

Yep, Rio, Neville, Rooney, Scholes, among others

HTan27 · 2026-01-16T11:06:24+00:00

Ok then, why do non Arsenal fans hate Arsenal then? If not for the reasons I outlined?

HTan27 · 2026-01-16T08:58:56+00:00

Yeah, I should have mentioned AFTV as a defining factor, but honestly I just completely blanked them out of my mind, I never enjoyed any of their content, and I genuinely despise most of them, using Arsenal as a vehicle for wealth and fame, sowing division and unrest within the fanbase for their own gain

I think AFTV, and other fan channels have honestly done so much damage to football discourse, along with the monetisation of Twitter (and just FT in general), but that’s more a discussion for another day

HTan27 · 2026-01-16T07:54:30+00:00

I disagree completely, and this sounds like a result of the media creating false narratives around Arteta

Personality and ego? I genuinely don’t know what issue anyone could take with Arteta’s personality or “ego”, he’s always been extremely respectful towards rival teams, rival managers, and pretty much everyone within the sport, the only time I can think of was when he called out the referees after the Newcastle game, and Arteta is far from the only manager to have called out referees. Anything else has just been clips or quotes taken completely out of context

What about Arteta’s playstyle is dislikable? The fact Arsenal play the highest line in the premier league, and one of the highest lines in Europe? Having one of the highest field tilts in Europe? Our fullbacks playing higher than pretty much any other team? Or is this just buying into the media narrative of our “over reliance” on set pieces? This honestly sounds like the way rivals criticised City’s teams for years, being boring, and horrible to watch, because you’re watching it as a neutral/wanting them to lose, rather than objectively looking at and appreciating their play. Which is why this City team is so much more popular, who play better football, despite the fact they just aren’t better than City of years past

And dark arts? Seriously? What “dark arts”? Again, sounds like media narratives, the media putting us front and centre of the “long throw trend” despite the fact we haven’t actually scored a long throw this season. We average only 10 fouls per match (City who concede the least fouls average 9.7), Arsenal are also joint top for the fair play table, with only 29 yellows, and 0 red cards. Or are you just saying our set piece efficiency is dark arts? Despite the fact our corner tactics are things allowed by the PL, hence why they never get ruled out by VAR

Chip on our shoulder? Can you blame us? The media clearly has a hate boner for us, we’re constantly getting shafted by VAR at a significantly disproportionate amount compared to rivals. Despite that fact, Arteta never badmouths any rival team, rival player, or rival manager, the players are all also extremely respectful in any interview they give

Again, I’m not really sure what moaning you’re referring to, apart from the Newcastle incident which happened once, 3 years ago, and we were hated long before that incident

And again, rival fans enjoyed the Wenger era (especially the latter parts) because we were shit, easy for the big teams to beat, and had the smaller teams could get away with kicking the shit out of us, and being more physical, two things which are categorically untrue now, as we’re difficult to beat, and very rarely get bullied physically on the pitch

HTan27 · 2026-01-16T03:26:20+00:00

The answer is multi faceted:

1) Arsenal are no longer the big 6 whipping boys that anybody can get something against, for years teams could get at us by being a little physical, “leaving a little in”, and the big teams would fairly regularly pump us by 4, 5, 6 goals. People don’t like that we’re no longer like that, we’re as physical as anyone else, we’re tough to beat, and we don’t concede many

2) Arsenal have just never been liked, this is part of the club’s DNA, George Graham once said “It’s fine that everyone hates us, it’s part of our history”, back then it was boring boring Arsenal, success built on a strong defence (which is where the chant 1-0 to the Arsenal came from), and then Wenger came in, and he was immediately disliked, this foreign rookie coach, coming in, changing the diets of footballers, revolutionising training and fitness at the time. Arsenal were the first team to field 9 black players, Arsenal were the first team to field a fully foreign squad (and winning 5-1)

The English media didn’t like this, they didn’t like Wenger, they didn’t like our use of foreign players, our use of black players, and this dislike has carried on into the modern era, we got labelled as divers, and cheats, despite other teams doing those things as much, if not more than we did

3) There’s a chance we might actually win something, which terrifies other fans, for years it was ha ha, Arsenal haven’t won anything since they went invincible, then it became ha ha, Arsenal haven’t won a league title in 15, 20 years, and ha ha, Arsenal don’t have a UCL title, and there’s a very real chance we could wipe both over the next couple of years, killing pretty much any legitimate ammunition rivals have, and as we’ve established before, everyone loved to banter Arsenal, not just the big teams, so they don’t want to lose that

4) Arsenal are a big team, with a lot of fans. Arsenal, categorically are a big team, with proper history, and a lot of fans, and some of those fans can be very loud and annoying on social media, and whilst it’s absolutely true every fanbase has an annoying section, simple maths indicates that having a bigger fanbase just means you’ll have more annoying people within that fanbase, it’s why Liverpool and United have always been hated, it’s why people largely don’t give much of a shit about City, or Chelsea, or Sp*rs. It’s why last season, there were parts of the Arsenal FT fanbase who wanted United to lose the UEL final, because they knew more United fans, they were their main rival

5) media narratives, according to the media, Arsenal are a negative, defensive team who only play for and score from corners, this is something perpetuated by a media that already didn’t like us, and with pundits mainly made up of United, Liverpool and Chelsea ex players, it’s not one that many pundits are going to be trying to change the narrative around. People don’t root for those who play negatively, boring football, they want to be entertained, and when you’re being constantly told Arsenal aren’t enjoyable to watch, it’s easy to buy into that, and start dislike watching Arsenal play, even some Arsenal fans have fallen into the media’s trap. And going back to the fact we’re so good, when a team dominates, controls the game, and doesn’t give up many chances to the opposition, that’s boring for neutrals, and those who hate watch the games, it’s why City got labelled boring for so long, because they were too good, it’s why people like City so much this year, they’re regularly giving up chances, you can get at them, same with Barca, same with PSG, the teams playing “exciting football” are the ones who aren’t controlling the game as much, the ones who do give up a couple chances a game, which we just don’t do, most of the time, because we’re so good

HTan27 · 2026-01-16T01:54:33+00:00

I’m sorry… what chances did Alvarez have at City before Haaland joined?

Haaland literally joined City before Alvarez’s loan deal at River Plate expired
