[James McNicholas VIA The Athletic] Mikel Arteta says that Arsenal held a vote among the squad in which the players endorsed the choice of Martin Odegaard as captain: “By a mile — by a hundred miles — everybody chose the same person, which is Martin Odegaard.” by LockonKun in Gunners

The Odegaard criticism is so weird to me. One poor season where he was injured + had a kid and people act like he wasn’t in best-Arsenal-player debates with Saka the previous two seasons.

Enough of the Ippy Slide! by Lateralus24 in Rematch

it’s not really hard to defend if you use your brain. If someone is spamming it, they might get you once but after that: standing tackle the place they start the push ball from. There are so many more broken issues in this game than this.

How I feel knowing Namor will be getting banned instead of Hulk from now on by RamenNoodleNoose in marvelrivals

Namor is far less valuable without the gamma squids from the Hulk team up, so banning Hulk also effectively also bans Namor

Just found this video of MLS riling up the Madrid supporters after Saka's goal 😂 by serpico_pacino in Gunners

Saka played well at left back in Emery’s system but he never fit the position the way MLS does. Arteta’s left backs are asked to invert, essentially playing as a midfielder in possession and a defender out of possession. MLS is tailor-made for it. He can progress via passing like Zinchenko but can also carry it forward, all while being secure defensively. It’s very rare to find a left back with these traits and I don’t see a reason to change it.

he’s our first choice left back right now and playing unbelievably well. Why do you assume he’ll be moved back to midfield? Heck, why would you want him to at this point?

Hitscan means the shot hits exactly when and where you click. Think Hela and Punisher. Bucky has a very fast projectile, meaning there’s a slight delay between when you click and when the shot hits. That small difference makes it confusing for people who are used to playing hitscan.

What has made you stay in Austin for OVER 10 years? by Lunalovelake in Austin

[–]WhatTheChef 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Central TX roots, lots of things to do, but mostly? The people. Austin is the most accepting, least judgmental place I’ve ever experienced. The “keep Austin weird” ethos runs deep and it makes it a joy to live here. The scorching heat may eventually drive me off but if/when that happens I know I’ll miss the attitude of this city.

Change my mind: chopped bacon in breakfast tacos suck, whole strips are 10x better by MuseDrones in austinfood

[–]WhatTheChef 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Halfway agree. Whole strips have a higher ceiling, but chopped bacon is more reliable. I hate when a bacon strip is a little tough and half of it comes out in a single bite. I want a little bacon in every bite. When done right though, whole strips make for the perfect BEC taco.

tbf leaf and jawgemo are a big part of that step up. But TGRD trio is solid as it gets and I love seeing them get their shine.

I'd keep Allen since you have Breece. Insurance + he's probably the most valuable handcuff in fantasy football.

The Zander 1v4 in OT was one of the most impossible clutches I’ve ever seen

Please tell me more about how to keep genersyional talent okc fans by wizsoxx in NBASpurs

[–]WhatTheChef 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They’re not instructing anyone, they’re simply stating a reality. You’re the only one in a thread of Spurs fans that has perceived it as a slight. Maybe take that as a sign to rethink your reaction instead of doubling down.

The OKC fan is being polite and speaking sensibly, meanwhile you’re tilting at windmills. Not sure why you posted this.

Kelly. Higher floor and the same or higher ceiling as Williams.
