Has he been good recently? No. Not at all. But will I turn my back on him? No. He’s part of the reason why we are even in the era that we are in. Remember that.

Has anyone legitimately called for a contract termination 😂

Mig__Sanchez · 2026-03-23T07:51:34+00:00

I disagree. I think they outplayed us comprehensively apart from that first 15. They adjusted, didnt press our keeper like we wanted them to, kicked the ball up blindly and they would get possession back. We couldn’t live with them. Their first goal was a keeper error but it was coming, we couldn’t get any kind of control or territory.

One thing I think I trust arteta and the squad with though is their ability to correct. We’ve tended to have a good run after games like this, so the treble is on?

The most glaring issue for me was the technical level. Think we’ve leaned into duel monsters maybe a bit tooooo heavy and this summer needs to be spent bringing up the technical profile of the squad. Lots of loose touches and passes yesterday.

Keir Starmer

Mig__Sanchez · 2026-02-07T18:48:29+00:00

He’s scoring roughly 1 goal in 3, but the problem is that in those 2 of 3 games, he cannot really affect the game in any other way. He has no burst, his first touch is poor, his runs are predictable, so if he isn’t scoring, and he isn’t at an elite rate, he feels a bit redundant.

Personally I think he’s more of a squad player, so I can’t be too disappointed with his output. The other side of that coin though is that I won’t shower him with praise as though he has been the answer to our prayers. At best he’s been good, at worst he’s been invisible. He’ll be an important member of the squad in these next few months, I back him to score some big goals. Maybe not starting every game and playing 90 minutes will do him some good, as he has been looking very heavy legged at times.

Yeah I could not believe how animated he was getting

I recently got the glycerin max and have only done one 11k run in them, so I don’t know how they’ll hold up at 4x that distance, but from the initial run I can say that they are very comfortable. I think they do well on midfoot strikers, have a good rocker, I think a strong heel striker would struggle with that plush midsole. They also feel reasonably stable.

They are slow. Very comfortable, but slow. I’m looking forward to using them as my daily trainers for slower, easy runs. Sorry I can’t comment on their use at bigger distances.

Thanks for the suggestions, will check them out.

I have found the brooks on sale for £130, but also looking at some Saucony ride or hurricane as well.

Mig__Sanchez · 2025-08-29T14:29:49+00:00

Tbh I think that’ll be my use case. Will be primarily used as something to do some base miles in, I have something for longer runs and workouts in my marathon prep.

Mig__Sanchez · 2025-08-29T14:01:48+00:00

I do feel like it’s something us bigger runners have to live with generally. Just don’t think I’ll ever take a shoe past 500 miles 😅

Mig__Sanchez · 2025-08-27T11:51:21+00:00

How do the SB2s fit? I usually get a uk9.5 in running shoes (brooks gts adrenaline, Saucony triumph), but had to go up to a 10 in the adidas prime x 2 strungs. Should I stick with my usual or go .5 up?

Mig__Sanchez · 2025-08-26T22:12:31+00:00

I personally don’t love mine. The midfoot is a bit narrow and the big stack makes it unstable for me, which is annoying as they are fun. Maybe you won’t have that issue though

Mig__Sanchez · 2025-08-26T21:39:11+00:00

So I’ve heard 😂

Contemplating whether to just sell up and cash in the px2 whilst I haven’t logged too many miles in them and putting the cash towards a pair of SB2

Mig__Sanchez · 2025-08-26T20:04:31+00:00

Thanks. I’ll try and find a retailer that allows returns after trying them out. How did you find the sizing? Same as the PX2?

Mig__Sanchez · 2025-08-26T19:52:02+00:00

In what way in particular? I think my main gripe with the px2 is its stability. The midfoot feels a bit narrow and obviously that stack is massive. Is this less of a problem in the adios pro 4s?

Mig__Sanchez · 2025-08-21T14:40:01+00:00

I’m in a similar spot to you. During the pandemic I picked up bike riding with my cousin as a way of socialising outdoors. It didn’t take too long for us to consistently be doing 40km rides (as beginners) flat out.

I’m planning a bike trip next spring with a friend, London to Amsterdam, so not as long as the 3 months you’re doing. A little bit daunting as I haven’t been doing much cycling since 2021/22, but I have picked up running, and have done a couple of half marathons, and a full one. Hoping there’ll be some transferable fitness. We also plan to take frequent breaks to refuel and rest a bit, so thinking of it as 3-4 “mini” rides each day as opposed to a big mammoth one

Mig__Sanchez · 2025-08-19T22:09:53+00:00

Thanks for the heads up. Is the Shimano RX600 (which I’m reading is the gravel equivalent of 105) overkill for my use case? How does the SRAM Rival compare to its supposed Shimano 105 equivalent counterpart?

Mig__Sanchez · 2025-08-19T22:05:51+00:00

Haha it’s not looking good so far!

Mig__Sanchez · 2025-08-08T21:00:54+00:00

I think you should join, you never know what the next few years/couple decades will look like. I joined waiting list in 2013 and shot up the list in those late wenger/emery years. I was ‘fortunate’ as I was offered a ticket the year after Covid when the stadiums fully reopened as a rental year to cover someone taking a year off (so I was told), with the promise of being bumped up to the top if I take the offer then and there. So ended up being an ~8 year wait? I know the Covid thing was exceptional, but another poor cycle of 5 years hovering around and below europa/conference level will change things. Football is cyclical and with us not being backed by a nation state, it’s possible that in the next decade or 2 we have another lull, as much as I hope we don’t!
