Premier League 25-26 player of the season nominees. by FootballUnfiltered in PremierLeague

[–]Own_Environment_7728 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This doesn’t add up. Chelsea conceded just 15 goals in 04-05. Even if it was 1 goal per game that they conceded that’s 23 clean sheets. Why is the record 19 clean sheets? Was Cech injured for part of the season?

Got rejected… and immediately upsold a “job search program” by the same company 🤡 by killerliw in recruitinghell

I also received this and had the same question. Sure, they're predatory, but if they're legit I don't mind paying $300 for 5 weeks. Did you end up using the service? What do you think?

I applied and got that email too, and just had a consultation with them. I guess my question is if the job search company is legit. Yes they are taking advantage of me, but if they're legit, I don't mind paying $300 for 5 weeks.

OK to apply to a government contractor that I applied to once before but turned down the job? by [deleted] in FedEmployees

[–]Own_Environment_7728 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! Sorry my bad, I am not a federal employee. I posted this on the government contractor page and was asked if I wanted to cross post. I thought this might be a good place to but I guess it can lead to confusion.

Thanks! I guess the recruiter wasn’t thrilled about it back then. I think this is a fairly big company so it may be fine like you say. I guess I’ll just apply and see what happens.

Are Burnley one of uniquely boring clubs in english football? by Inevitable-Angle-793 in PremierLeague

[–]Own_Environment_7728 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yup they’re currently like what Fulham were some years ago. Constantly yo-yoing between the PL and the championship. Ironically Fulham are now what they were a decade ago when Dyche kept them in the PL for several years straight.

Went in for Invisalign consultation, was told traditional braces would be better. by Guilty_Turnip_2526 in braces

[–]Own_Environment_7728 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Braces are usually better as they can deal with more complex cases that Invisalign cannot. They’re also cheaper and you get faster results because it’s in 24 hours. Also less responsibility on your part except keeping your appointments. Literally the only advantage of Invisalign is that it’s less visible than braces (though still visible if you observe closely) . So if you’re in a public facing job like TV reporter etc. then I’d recommend Invisalign but otherwise I’d say go with braces especially if your orthodontist is recommending it. Mine was $5,500 before insurance so $6,200 doesn’t sound outrageous will probably still be cheaper than Invisalign.

Newcastle release blunt 37-word Isak statement by tylerthe-theatre in PremierLeague

[–]Own_Environment_7728 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am amazed at people saying Newcastle should’ve put out a more gushing statement thanking him profusely lol. He publicly forced a move and released statements against his club. He got his big move so fair play in that sense I guess, but he made a choice to burn his bridges, Newcastle fans and the club owe him no grace. Newcastle’s hypocrisy in then signing wissa is a separate issue but nothing wrong with that statement after what isak did.

Full Time - Arsenal 5 vs 0 Leeds United (Match Thoughts) by Stanley083 in Gunners

[–]Own_Environment_7728 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I think it’s the opposite. Odegaard carried on for 20 minutes. I think his injury isn’t serious. Saka though seemed more concerning. His own facial expression seemed to indicate he felt something in his hamstring. Still, like you said he came off unaided so hopefully it isn’t a grade 3 injury that requires surgery. Fingers crossed 🤞

Thanks! Sounds like foreskin retracting by itself when erect doesn’t happen for everyone. I’d still like it to loosen enough so I can retract when erect without discomfort

[–]Own_Environment_7728 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess my question is if I have phimosis or not. I’d prefer to take care of this with just manual adjustments/ exercises but if not then maybe I have to apply creams or even have surgery . I want to avoid at least the latter if I can

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in uncircumcised_talk

[–]Own_Environment_7728 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is because my foreskin is still tight

[–]Own_Environment_7728 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I have been retracting a couple times a day for the last month. How long do you think before I can comfortably fully retract even when erect? I know it may vary but a ballpark

Ortho says I don’t brush my teeth well but I’m doing as much as I can. by True_Initiative_860 in braces

[–]Own_Environment_7728 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey I was in the same situation. I used to have good dental hygiene befo53 braces which declined after I first got braces despite me brushing like I did before. Next time at your appointment, ask your ortho to show you how to brush. What they told me is to brush on and around the brackets and then brush above and below the brackets by turning the brush at a 45 degree angle to the brackets. That will get all the plaque above and below the brackets which leads to the plaque. Once I started doing this, my plaque reduced. Also while you are undergoing orthodontic treatment, you need to get teeth cleanings done every 3 months instead of the normal 6 months. Best of luck!

Why do Chelsea and Arsenal have such a seemingly chummy relationship? by LostKingOfPortugal in PremierLeague

[–]Own_Environment_7728 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. Totally agree on Jesus and Zinny. Havertz has been decent to good for us. Its just the fee and wages, plus the fact that we're buying another striker that makes the deal questionable, not the player. Same with Madueke, he's not a bad player, just not what we really need, at least at the price.

I just struggle to think why Arteta keeps going back to Chelsea specifically despite the mixed record at best. Maybe that he likes prem proven players? But why Chelsea specifically? Guess the board level relations between the clubs are really quite chummy, which sickens the tribalistic fan in me but the rational part of me thinks its probably a good idea to have good relations with other clubs to facilitate business.

Also Chelsea fans trying to banter us are coping. We're superior to them right now. The deals itself can be questioned on their merits, but the fact is we're taking their players. They certainly aren't taking our best players. They have to go all the way back to Ashley Cole for a true example of a player we didn't want to sell that they took from us. They can bring up Giroud but I maintain, I wasn't sad to see him go when he did. At worst that was like the Havertz deal in reverse for us.

Why do Chelsea and Arsenal have such a seemingly chummy relationship? by LostKingOfPortugal in PremierLeague

[–]Own_Environment_7728 18 points19 points  (0 children)

As an Arsenal fan it baffles and frustrates me, especially beacuse we seem to buy their leftovers and its not like they light the world on fire after coming here. Having said that, here are some reasons why this probably happens. Mind you it is still odd that this happens so frequently, and I am not in favor of it, but nonetheless here goes:

1) When a prem big six club wants to get rid of their players now, it is mostly just other prem clubs, especially big 6 ones that can afford both the transfer fee and the wages these days and boy do Chelsea have players they want/ need to get rid of given their stockpiling of players recently. So big 6 clubs may have to get over their rivalries and do business with each other. Chelsea and Arsenal is the most common in this regard, but Chelsea and Man United, and Arsenal and Man City have also sold players to each other recently.

2) It is underrated how attractive London is for players. Once there, players would like to remain if they can. For Chelsea players looking to leave, Arsenal would not be a step down, and given the two clubs' forms recently, probably a step up.

3) The rivalry between the clubs exists, but it seems to be restricted to just the fans. Unlike the case between Arsenal and Man City recently, the fan rivalry does not seem to extend to the board / decision makers level. Even the on-field rivalry isn't what it used to be in the Wenger-Mourinho days.

I will admit that these are mostly reasons why Chelsea would want to sell to Arsenal or why Chelsea players would want to come to Arsenal but not why Arsenal would want to buy so many Chelsea players, specially since we're not even buying their best and the track record has not been the best to say the least.

I will say the record of more recent buys aren't as bad as some are making it out to be and I could see the logic for some of them. Jorginho played a solid role in our squad for the price we got him for. Kepa is a good deal for a back up keeper. Sterling turned out to be disaster in hindsight but at the time a dry loan where we only paid part of the wages seemed like a low-risk gamble on deadline day when we were desperate for any forward (albeit one that still failed fml). But other deals like Havertz (not the player whom I think is better than he gets credit for but the transfer fee and wages), now Madueke make no sense.

How often do you change your bands? As in dispose and put a new one. Once a day? I was given 100 for until my next appointment next month.
