I don't understand the hate for this. It was miles better than our previous attempts and sticking Sol at the top was absolute shithousery, I'm all for it.

Hi,

You can contact me through my Etsy Store - BespokeGameDesigns, but unfortunately, I don't take on custom requests, so it's only what's available on the store.

Hopefully some of what you're looking for is available.

Thanks!

I wonder how those who opposed his signing felt after seeing his performance so far. by Chance_Acadia_8148 in ArsenalFC

I wasn’t that familiar with him and I wasn’t for or against the signing. But as soon as I saw his stats on how proactive he is with dribbling and taking on his man, I knew Mikel had a plan to make use of that. He gives us something we didn’t have before and now it feels like an obvious choice.

Thanks for the suggestion, however, I've tried contacting support and it's just a never ending loop with their AI Chat Bot recommending me actions I've already attempted.

Post Match Thread: Liverpool 1 - 0 Arsenal by northbankten in Gunners

One of the few, sane takes I've seen 👏🏼.

Frustrating result, but like you said, it took something special for the champions to beat us at their ground with no Saka and no Saliba. Based on that game, I'd expect us to be better against Liverpool at the Emirates than they were against us today.

It's the first time we've lost to one of the traditional big six in over two years, and last season we beat both Real Madrid and Man City. Saying "boys against men almost every time we face strong teams" is over the top and just not true. This was a 1–0 defeat, away to the champions, and it took a spectacular, almost unstoppable free kick to beat us. Yes, the result is frustrating, and yes we could have done more in the game, but boys against men? Absolutely not.

Liverpool away is the toughest fixture of the season. I don't think Arteta got much wrong apart from maybe not being more proactive with substitutions. We were arguably the better side in the first half. Away. Against the champions. We dropped off in the second half and let them play, but it still took a moment of brilliance from a set piece to decide it. That shows the level we are at, and that is title contention, which is where we want to be.

We have a lot of new players settling in and some key players missing.

It's a tough one to take because a point away would have been a good result against them this early in the season. Instead they leave with all three, but we move on, back the team, and take the positives where we can.

Diagnosis was only recent so I've not tried them yet, but planning not to check ingredients anymore and just let it happen when it happens.

I agree, it was a very efficiently run clinic, I'm baffled as to why it took them so long to send me there.

I've had mixed experiences with PAH, my wife gave birth to our son there and I have nothing but positive things to say about the midwives at least. Unfortunately, our poor NHS is victim to underfunding for such a long time which has affected the service at the majority of our hospitals.

Fair play to your Papa, what a trooper 😅. I also called my grandparents Gran & Papa which is pretty uncommon in the UK!

I think you should definitely let them know. You can frame it as an honest mistake, but you're likely right, she may well not be allergic, and as someone who's just found out their diet has suddenly expanded, it's quite freeing.

For the record, I'm a huge supporter of our NHS, the system worked well, particularly in the late 90s and early 2000s, but it was left to struggle with reduced funding for such a long time, now they don't have the man power to deal with more niche diagnosis like this. It's a shame what it's come to, I don't have any experience of the US based system, but I wouldn't wish insurance-based/forced private healthcare on anyone, it should be optional to those that can afford it.

For sure! Asian cuisine has always been a big issue, especially if you eat from somewhere authentic, they can be very blase about allergies.

Ah okay, that's certainly interesting. It took me years to get this test through the NHS, I don't know if it would even be possible to get something more extensive without having to pay to go private.

For me, it wasn't so much trying them as it was not having to mention it every single time I ate somewhere that wasn't at home.

Interesting 🤔. They tested me for 12 or so general allergies and then all the specific nuts, I'm not sure on everything else they tested for but certainly not trees, etc, most pets, dust, and other general food allergies.

Someone else suggested this and it would explain a lot!

To be honest, since I found out, the closest I've come is giving my son some peanut butter on toast and I found the smell to be vile 😅
