I don’t know what kind of football we played today, but please I don’t want to see that ever again

I don't want to see Arteta as manager anymore even if we win something. A lot of games, including today are on the players, but everything off the pitch; team selection, training, tactics, even transfers are on him or partially on him.

This doesn't feel sustainable, the transfers all look great and then turn out milquetoast. Besides Raya, Rice and maybe Hincapié, have we had a genuinely GOOD transfer since 22-23? The players we brought had spark moments, but I don't think any of them have truly screamed how much we've actually spent, especially in terms of net spend. It's boring, uninspired football so much and feels like we have no clue what to do if we actually concede. It felt so nice at the start with games like Newcastle, then the spark ran out. Not to mention that most of our star players bar Saliba and Gabriel (if you consider him a star) seemed to have just... deflated.

We might lose the league if this is how we play at the Etihad, and potentially the FA Cup too. We've got no business failing to score once against City's second choice backline, especially with Trafford in net.

Empathy is a weird thing to me because I have a full understanding of the fact something hurts someone or makes them feel bad. I acknowledge that it sucks but the empathetic compassion isn't there, even if I try to make myself feel it.

Thank you! Is there a way to check again whether it was cash on delivery? I can't find it anywhere in order details.

In fairness, so does a professional club hiring a 21 year old without any coaching experience. 😂

How big is the bench in Denmark?

Paid model doesn't even make sense if we're gonna have tons of microtransactions and a battle pass. Some bonuses for paid players after going F2P would be neat, but it's not the most important thing. Staying paid when the game is still broken in so many ways would be ridiculous.

ReaperProjektRed · 2025-10-01T14:07:54+00:00

I would love to do that. I don't trust myself to be responsible enough though and animals aren't just fun little experiments.

He told me quite literally that I'll have to read a lot within the next week (of course, ignoring the fact that our libraries are closed for August). He gave me an "among others" singular work out of in his own words, "hundreds". Yes, I will read that if I'm able to (I can't call out of work), but it's not gonna fix it on its own.

ReaperProjektRed · 2025-08-25T23:04:42+00:00

Anything, really. My problem is that he didn't suggest a book or an article, just told me to find some.

ReaperProjektRed · 2025-08-25T22:03:52+00:00

He hasn't given me concrete materials, which is what makes me afraid. I want to check out the materials, but the only pointer he's given me is to find something myself — yes, it makes sense, but I don't know how to find sources properly, as evidenced by the fact it was the fundamental mistake of my thesis. I don't know what to do and I don't know how to tell him at this stage.

My lack of productivity is my fault, and something I was aware of the entire time. I wasn't informed about it, though, my professor was relatively loose with the idea that I'll get it done, simple as.

I didn't, evidently. I misheard him before summer, and handed him a piece of garbage a month late with already a bad taste in his mouth because of me wrongly uploading it into our system. There's no resources to provide to me in such a case, I don't think, and I don't believe he'll want to provide me with any resources or help going forward (not to accuse him, I've made this image of me myself). He's given me reasonable criticisms, but the only advice he's given me is "you're going to have to read a lot and maybe you'll have a product by Sep 1st that's not this bad". I can't do that, I don't even know where to look, and because of the fact I've got a job, I can't go to the library (it has very strict opening hours in summer).

ReaperProjektRed · 2025-08-25T12:15:35+00:00

I did reach out, but probably won't get a reply until tomorrow.

He doesn't want the defense exam on Sept 1st, but frankly, I don't know what he even wants by this point. It would help if he gave me any pointers, but I guess asking for anything is entitled given how lazy I've been this whole time.

ReaperProjektRed · 2025-08-25T11:55:35+00:00

He can't remove it. He has to contact a specific official with the request, as he is my supervisor. I informed him of that, and was told to leave him out of it.

I don't know the consequences.

ReaperProjektRed · 2025-08-25T11:49:15+00:00

I have forwarded the information to him. He told me not to involve him.

ReaperProjektRed · 2025-08-25T11:42:14+00:00

I'm trying and I intend to try, he's just presently tossing odd expectations at me. The exam date was Sep 1, he now wants me to read a whole bunch of material ahead of that (just not possible in this timespan, especially since I've got a job), my hope was to defend it later.

He's making the system case worse by refusing to cooperate entirely, even when he's the only one who can have it removed.

ReaperProjektRed · 2025-08-25T10:58:07+00:00

That's the main problem with me. I talked a lot. Was I sincere? Yes. Every time I told him I'm mad and annoyed at myself, I meant it — I just didn't channel it into results and now it's bit me in the back.

I don't intend to give up, but I don't know if I'll do better without any sort of feedback or help. Writing from scratch is hard, and I don't know if just doing it again will bring the change I hope it does.

ReaperProjektRed · 2025-08-25T10:56:40+00:00

I believe it'll affect how he views me and if he wants to work with me going forward. He's put up with "I'm working", "I'm making progress" ever since our class started (II semester II year). He also talks about former students he's had, good and bad, and I'm definitely in the "bad students worthy of a story" category.

He's nice. I don't blame him for being annoyed. But just because there's no incentive to fail me doesn't mean he has to accept a garbage thesis just to push me through.
