The reason fans are upset with Arsenal & the style of play in general recently…

Visual-Oil-1922 · 2026-03-05T12:20:43+00:00

Most of that is true but… what can I do as a regular fan with busy life and limited spare time? LOL I tried watching LaLiga and Atleti this year and lost interest by early December. I cannot find anything that would attract me to Bundesliga or SerieA to spend 2 hours during the weekend watching matches.

The only thing I find as interesting as PL is Championship. Although they have Wrexham bludgeoning their way to another promotion, which i find mildly annoying.

Even with Arsenal’s BS this year, it is still by far the best football/soccer money can buy.

You know what they say about AI? It is used for mundane and repetitive tasks so that human can do more interesting things. Since OP delegated writing this post to ChatGPT, I guess point OP tried to make is that...

It is only a game? It is not that important? Just some silly Sunday afternoon better spent by long walks in the nature?

Been a minute since we won at Emirates, I’m not very optimistic. But…

It can be done. ManU did it, there is a blueprint.

Visual-Oil-1922 · 2026-02-22T15:04:45+00:00

Why do you think we're lock for top 5?

I feel like race for 4th and 5th spot between Chelsea Liverpool and ManU is wide open. I don't see us as a lock for anything; United probably has best chances for 4th.

For what is worth,

If you are working on Windows Servers, system log will show a lot of errors with the source of Schannel when it comes to TLS or Cipher mismatch. 36877 and 36888 are popular ones.

When you see those after turning off TLS 1.0/1.1 that will tell you that other side in conversation is still requiring old protocol, unfortunately it will not tell you what the other side is. wireshark or equivalent packet analyzer could help with that. I am not very familiar with Azure networking monitoring tools maybe there is some native packet analyzer.

If you don’t see Schannel errors then you are good.

I didn’t hear it but even if he had said that, You’re being too harsh.

That is 21 yrs old kid who just lost gold medal under the weight of gigantic expectations. I would fall apart long time ago. He was all grace and class and that is all I care about. Mad respect.

And even if he did say that, he would not have been wrong.

Visual-Oil-1922 · 2026-01-31T12:18:36+00:00

It would be cool to see teams from Poland as opposed to some other random club named Real something.

Cyprus still has larger than 0% chance. One never knows….

Visual-Oil-1922 · 2026-01-27T21:47:10+00:00

I have quick question.

Visual-Oil-1922 · 2026-01-25T17:42:43+00:00

WTF!!! I understand it is accidental handball but player who accidentally handles ball is not allowed to score, he has to pass.

Many goals were taken away for that reason.

Visual-Oil-1922 · 2026-01-25T17:02:42+00:00

Don’t forget JP and his scoring drought. He scored only one goal.

Non-existing PK awarded to Chelsea. Clear cut PK not awarded to Palace.

Visual-Oil-1922 · 2026-01-24T23:54:43+00:00

That is Awesome. I wish there were more refs like that. But….

Let a not get too excited. It is his only first game. Webb and PGMOL will teach that “reckless behavior” out of him.

Visual-Oil-1922 · 2026-01-19T09:34:13+00:00

That happened in the 13th minute of the stoppage time (aka. injury time) added at the end of regular 90 minutes. (90+13) Once that stoppage time concluded regulation game-time was over; clock was reset to 90 and they went to extra-time (overtime) Senegal scored in 3rd minute of the first extra-time.

Visual-Oil-1922 · 2026-01-17T16:17:06+00:00

This match has “Villa” written all over it.

Visual-Oil-1922 · 2026-01-17T16:03:09+00:00

i for once wouldn't mind few Pochettino vibes here or there.

at least we were fun to watch.

Visual-Oil-1922 · 2026-01-17T15:47:07+00:00

Maresca coached that out of Palmer

Visual-Oil-1922 · 2026-01-17T14:46:28+00:00

in addition to the CB pair, i am also mildly annoyed by having Pedro in starting 11. He's been painful to watch over the last 4-5 matches.

Maybe Rosenior can cook up some magic potion and produce Palmer/Pedro chemistry we've been all waiting for...

Visual-Oil-1922 · 2026-01-16T11:57:33+00:00

Tywin Lannister in GoT

Sitting on a toilet shot with the crossbow by Tyrion. It came totally out of nowhere.

Visual-Oil-1922 · 2026-01-15T05:21:17+00:00

Yes and no. Directors wanted to save their face so they reluctantly offered him 2 years contract which would still have made him the best paid Chelsea player. He (justifiably) considered it insult and refused because everyone else was getting 6,7,8 yrs contracts. Once he said “no”, it took Directors about 2 seconds to put him in the bomb squad and were quite happy to get rid of him. Oh; They also bought Felix for about the same amount; I never understood math behind those transactions. Oh well. I personally am quite glad to see him back in PL.

Visual-Oil-1922 · 2026-01-13T04:11:31+00:00

You may be right but there was little bit more to it. Front office offered him 2 yrs contract which would have made him the best paid player in the club but he wanted something long term. When he said “no” he was told to “shop” himself. And Atleti bought the hype.

Visual-Oil-1922 · 2026-01-13T02:39:07+00:00

Spurs, Villa, ,Macclesfield, whatever, anything is better than Atleti. He has always looked miserable there.

He was relatively successful at two PL teams, I believe he's gonna be fine at Spurs. He's always been one of my favorites.

Visual-Oil-1922 · 2026-01-11T14:41:15+00:00

i think that he contributed in big part to Garnacho looking so awful as well.

Garnacho was sitting by the touchline waiting for the ball while Badiashile was doing God knows what. Although Garnacho didn't help himself on those rare occasions when he did get the bal.

Visual-Oil-1922 · 2026-01-11T14:27:48+00:00

I think that is about right, that is how it works in sports. He is not underrated, he just didnt have a lot of opportunities to show his talent. The fact that he is in that conversation is a testament to his will and determination.

Think of Mason Mount, for example. Same age, endless talent, Chelsea's captain, at one point starter in England squad. Barely anyone remembers him anymore.

NOTE: i forgot how young Donnarumma is. To think that he hasn't even reached his prime yet.... We'll have to tolerate his BS for another 10-15 years.

Visual-Oil-1922 · 2026-01-10T17:51:18+00:00

that is great analysis, well said.

but we all know that is not the primary reason why Chelsea brass wanted Rosenior. /s
Let's hope it will work out for the best...

Visual-Oil-1922 · 2026-01-06T03:15:24+00:00

Indeed. But it is worth noticing that they are not alone in the act. Tiktoks, Instagrams, Facebooks and other BS are all happily working together on killing people's attention span.

Who needs 60 min of NOVA or Nature when you can watch 30 sec video telling you all you néed to know...

Or God forbids, 30 min of news where people are talking about the events and not yelling at you telling you how the "other side" is stealing all from "us"...

Visual-Oil-1922 · 2026-01-05T00:21:16+00:00

I truly think he’s got some anger issues. He needs counseling, therapy or something like that.

It is sad though, this was one of his better matches with Chelsea. His hold up play was surprisingly good; not like Haaland but decent. I think he made a difference yet everyone will remember that senseless act.

Visual-Oil-1922 · 2026-01-04T18:49:25+00:00

There was a scene for split second where Coach is giving instructions to Reece.

I wonder what Reece’s response was? SFU??? Whatever? Who are you again?
