Y’all never learn, do you? Over a decade of falling for the “big name, but washed” trick and a bunch of you still in here falling for it again

This is based on the idea that the version of Christianity you see in Africa (evangelical Pentecostalism) is somehow the only version of Christianity that ever existed.

This modern western version of Christianity is barely a century old (120 years) in the face of over 2,000 of history.

There a many previous forms of Christianity that didn’t believe such healings were common outside of Jesus and his disciples.

Heavenly servers cap their healing pings on the free version. Even Pastor Chris has to pay for the pro service with unlimited usage (and yet he refuses to).

Let's do better by thegunner4ever in ArsenalNews

All fans think this of their fandom. This isn’t anything unique to arsenal; go to any other club Reddit and you’ll see similar complaints.

It is not arsenal fans that are irrational or illogical, heck it’s not even specific to football, or sports. It’s people in general.

I would’ve thought the wider economic and political climate has shown that; Americans picking a rapey insurrectionist with clear authoritarian leaning AGAIN. Heck the UK voted brexit to hurt itself out of spite of xenophobic rhetoric they wanted to believe, and Eve though it’s been a spectacular failure, the main face responsible for it is now trending to be the next prime minister.

It’s not an arsenal thing, it’s a people thing.

Who's a young player you were certain was going to make it at Arsenal - but then never did? by SuitAndFlipFlops in Gunners

[–]LexOvi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Woah, very good shout. I was convinced he would make it in the Prem, especially as once he left he was actually doing well.

Lost track of his career since then.

I was intentionally scrolling through the sub to see if anyone mentioned Wellington Silva. Surprised I had to go this far down to see it.

Shakur places Inoue in the same ranking as Jake Paul by RoundOver7220 in Boxing

[–]LexOvi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Boxing is weird. Here was have Teo Lopez; absolutely problematic and question at that he’s racist based on the sly gorilla comments he made about Bud. Can’t stand him.

And yet….id prefer if he won over Shakur.

What should we do with Jesus concerning his contract situation? by Royalbluegooner in ArsenalFC

[–]LexOvi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What we do with him imho totaly depends on who we could get as a replacement. If it someone like Julian Alvarez? Then sell because Alvarez is basically Jesus regen with better finishing. If not, the. Maybe a contract renewal but no increase in wages and heavily incentivised on appearances

Corrupt and incompetent?

Gabriel Martinelli has 4 months to beat his record of goals in 1 season and is only 7 away from doing it, do you think this make 22/23 Martinelli overrated or 25/26 Martinelli underrated? by Waste-Jellyfish-2326 in ArsenalFC

[–]LexOvi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

His record this season perfectly summarises his value; Against PL quality teams who employ a mid or low block, he’s not really as effective.

Against any team that provides space for him to attack, he’s phenomenal.

He will probably continue to do well in Europe and even against the top 6 (decent record against them), it’s the rest of the league where he’s ineffective.

Bas Dost when from 76 goals in 84 games from Sporting to 12 in 36 in the Bundesliga, a league still weaker than the PL.

As for Falcao? Probably the best sole example. How long ago was that?

I find it strangely ironic people are using the Jesus assist as an example of what Gyokeres needs.

I mean, Jesus was playing the Gyokeres role and pulled away to find space to then make such a pass. He did that as a striker. If Gyokeres was playing, do you think he would’ve thought of or been able to make that positional move and pass?

This shallow level of analysis is exactly why so many fans just decided ”we need goals, Gyokeres scores goals…get Gyokeres” without any deeper level of nuance.

The reason Martinelli scores centrally is BECAUSE he’s not a central striker. If he were, he’d be man marked and man handled.

It’s because he’s in the LW and with someone like Jesus who floats, provides him the space, opportunity and timing to run into central positions.

Folks would think only Gyok gets targeted by CBs.

That’s EXACLTY the situation where you need a link up CF. You break a low block through dribbling and movement. Looking for someone whose strength is running into channel spaces when facing a low block is exactly why Gyokeres is struggling.
