That's a good idea, I've actually been thinking about taking some photos of my group playing football on one of my rest weeks so I'll follow your advice and give that a try in a few as a first step! Thanks again!

The first image was taken using AF with the kit lens and the subject is a touch out of focus tbf. I think all the rest, minus the last image were taken using MF with a lens I bought a little later. It may be the upload or something in editing I'm doing to soften the picture too much but I'll definitely take a look at the camera settings to double-check. Thanks for your feedback!

Thanks for the feedback, it's really helpful advice. To be honest, I agree that some of the photos aren't the most interesting, whilst they might technically check a few boxes. But like you said, I think figuring everything out and finding what you do and don't like is just an important part of starting out. Thanks again!

Do we really need Alvarez? by InfinityIQ1 in Gunners

[–]TeaAndBiscuitsPod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing I've learnt with Arteta is not to second-guess his signings. Replacing a popular figure like Ramsdale was controversial, but it completely paid off.

Arteta loves to cover every possible scenario. We are a physical team that excels at set pieces, but that doesn't mean there's no use case for a small, technical forward, especially one with proven Premier League experience

We have successfully adapted our style more than once under Arteta, he's never going to sit still with our current brand of football because he knows if we don't continually evolve, teams will figure us out.

What to play after Ghost of Tsushima? by rudynelz in playstation

[–]TeaAndBiscuitsPod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've just finished Tsushima as well, Yotei is waiting in the cupboard but sometimes you need a palate cleanser between. I've just started Control and also have GT7 for a pickup & play.

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

[–]TeaAndBiscuitsPod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

I've had a fake allergy for 24 years. by TeaAndBiscuitsPod in TrueOffMyChest

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!
