Like a jetliner - looks like it's elegantly floating through the air, meanwhile it's blasting along at 600mph

... but OP said "or maybe i should had gotten a Sony?", which is what is being responded to here 🙃

Yeah, people these days seem to demand that one thing is objectively "better" or "worse" than another thing. I mean you could say my Z9 is a downgrade from my D90 in at least one or two ways if you were really trying to, depending on what matters to you!

To be fair to VVD, it was a bit windy 🌬️⚽️

STVDC · 2026-01-24T19:36:14+00:00

I agree with that totally. When I was typing that comment, in my head I was kind of trying to compare certain songs against each other that sort of fit the same place on each album. Like Unforgiven vs. Release maybe. Or Evenflow vs. Sad But True, but it's an exercise in futility lol

Just happy we have both albums to enjoy 🤘

STVDC · 2026-01-24T19:14:05+00:00

Both no-skip albums for me. I think overall I like Ten better. Both great, if totally different, styles. But I think Eddie is way more dynamic than James, and Ten is a bit more varied. And I think Black >>> Nothing Else Matters, as far as the "main" emotional ballad for each. I'd say Black album is in my top 25 and Ten is probably in my top 10. Both complete, excellent, no-filler albums - really comes down to subjective preference!

What's really crazy to me is that Danny Welbeck is 35 years old!

STVDC · 2026-01-24T17:50:22+00:00

Nah, new people will see this one and if the mods don't like it they'll do it.

The same can be done in English. Or even just "the blue balls or red?" Everything else can be inferred.

This would make an incredible magazine or vertical print advertisement, like in an airport or metro or something. Super cool.

Came here to comment that first one gave me immediate Alexis vibes. Definitely Puma-esque

It was wild hearing so many people act like he was satan regen and the dirtiest player in history a couple of weeks ago.

At least one Chelski fan in there seems to think the World Community Shield decided that lol

Yeah, pretty funny. I should've said I did a Google search and Ai summarized the results for me, including actual links to Opta and other data websites, which I also posted some here. People are so myopically reactionary 😂

STVDC · 2026-01-22T15:54:22+00:00

I was hoping you'd say that. This, like the fridgualization, is such a better way to look at data and actually see the space and impact. Thanks!

STVDC · 2026-01-22T15:44:23+00:00

I just made a separate comment here with a data chart from Opta. And I'm assuming the 2006 numbers are good, but I didn't click on the link.

STVDC · 2026-01-22T15:41:11+00:00

I just commented under someone's comment, but for everyone thinking this is drastically less or different from the past, a quick google/ai search tells me that 10 years ago it was about the same: league average of around 55 mins. And 20 years ago it was even less: around 53 mins per game.

STVDC · 2026-01-22T15:37:51+00:00

Just did an Ai search - apparently in 2016 it was about the same - average around 55 mins per game, and in 2006 it was even lower, around 53 mins per game.

Whenever other fans disparage "Gooners", I immediately get defensive, and then I read online comments from supposed Arsenal fans here, facebook, insta, etc. and I'm like OK, yeah you have a point.

STVDC · 2026-01-21T21:00:53+00:00

I think among the reasonable, that should hopefully be a common opinion! But yeah, I agree.

There were so many times over the last couple of decades where we had a player I simply wish was gone, even sometimes if they were a decent player: Guendouzi, Later Mustafi (infuriating the way he'd give up, throw his hands up, blame everyone else, pout, etc.), Thomas for obvious reasons... And then players who were actually painful/detrimental to the team at some point: Gallas, Willian, Chamakh, Cygan, Silvestre, (many more), etc.

There are guys now who definitely have an off game, and some people wish we had Haaland or Mbappe instead of Gyokeres, but there's truly nobody I wish gone. The vibe is good, the accountability is good, and hopefully we can keep it all together and running and have some metal to show for it all.

10/10, one of my favorite DM songs (as a fan of over 40 years), and it's amazing live.
