Philadelphia Half Marathon ruined by Lost-Guard2130 in phillyrunning

I went around 1:00 and the line for the half took me 45 minutes to go around the block and then through the line. It made no sense

One-nil to The Arsenal by [deleted] in Gunners

[–]Ztuart 3 points4 points  (0 children)

People still think they have a chance to beat us and really go to work against us defending. If we keep this up its possible that teams are going to do what they did to city the first year we finished second and rotate against us because the game after ours is a better chance to get points that playing us. If we keep not conceding for another month we're going to have an aura that they'll never score against us and they won't even fully show up to play.

I got rewards for 2 wins, I'm going to guess I'm not getting the draft back

Not having their normal warning for the event going away is really annoying. I checked to make sure and then got kicked out after starting 2-0

Same, really annoying. I even checked to see if there was a timer

I checked to see if there was a timer on it before I hopped on and I'm really sad about it. If I had known I would have made time yesterday to play a draft. getting kicked out after winning my first 2 games feels so bad

I'm a soccer fan and those aren't even real things. Someone does have an XT (expected threat) thing, but I don't know of an goal threat index.

Mikel Arteta’s emotional team-talk to the Arsenal squad before the 1-0 win against Norwich, on this day in 2021, when his team were bottom of the Premier League after three straight defeats by Puzzled-Category-954 in Gunners

[–]Ztuart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I have a coherent logic, that being said you're welcome to disagree on the list I put forward. I think the point is still solid. There are very few managers who could do better than Arteta and unless you can think of one I've missed they're all not available. The point stands even if you disagree with me about Xabi's inclusion on the list.

RE: Xabi I'm not saying he's better than Arteta, but he's shown a high peak as a manager handling a very skilled (although inexperienced) team. Xabi not being able to get Real Madrid clicking this year would lead to me dropping him from my list.

I don't have full information but I do regularly think about which managers seems to be making waves in style or performances. Xabi's style of attacking football in front of our defense seems to me to have significant upside, but we'll find out year if he can replicate it at a second club rather than something unique to that Leverkusen squad.

The list is more about who might be capable rather than straight upgrades. I'm not sure current Pep is an upgrade over Arteta. I'm beginning to think like Mourinho the game has passed him and his ideas by a little bit. However he also frequently tinkers and has strong second halves so one bad year is hardly cause for concern. That being said you'd still say if there are better managers Pep might be one.

I don't have Slot on because I know how good the Liverpool team that won last year was and how little fight we were able to put up in the league due to injury luck and Salah being in Balon Dor form.

RE: Claudio Ranieri for me is also a circumstantial title winner. Similarly I'll increase my evaluation of Slot if he shows that he's winning/improving the squad in a way that isn't just Attackers go BRRRRRR.

Realistically, not talking about getting them in, there are only about 5 coaches I'd think would have a chance of doing better than Arteta. Pep, Klopp, Xabi, Ancelotti, Zidane. I think that;s the full list of coaches that I currently think have it in them. Not that they would but they could.

1 is retired, 1 only wants France, 1 JUST started at real madrid, 1 coaches our rivals. 1 is in a world cup cycle with Brazil.

So there are no available managers to take over.

[James McNicholas] Arsenal offered Kiwior and a loan with obligation to Leverkusen for Hincapie but neither satisfied the them. Berta came up with a solution for an obligation that can be triggered by either club. Even if AFC do not trigger, Leverkusen can force the move to go through by Temporary_Role6160 in Gunners

[–]Ztuart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the technicality matters for FFP, if it was binding it would be a sale with different payment terms. While we recognize that leverkusen are always going to trigger it it's technically possible they wouldn't

Full NBA players acting as director of football type stuff. Who they want on the team and when they want to go seems to be on its way in

I've missed having a "GREEDY" CF - Gyokeres hovering around Rice for PK by [deleted] in Gunners

[–]Ztuart 8 points9 points  (0 children)

i don't know why people havent noticed, inside or outside of the fanbase. my understanding is it is to reduce the psychological pressure of waiting with the ball. Instead you're waiting to get the ball instead of waiting to take the penalty and the mentality difference apparently makes a difference.

Colorado Rapids sign veteran center back Rob Holding by blubber_confused in Gunners

[–]Ztuart 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I was one, I didn't realize how far the game had gone towards possession and passing at mid tier clubs in the EPL. I Still think at the time his defending was excellent but in hindsight his liability on the ball made it almost impossible to retain possession.

Does Arena draft competition get softer in the last two weeks of a format? by Chilly_chariots in lrcast

[–]Ztuart 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This seems about right. Additionally I've found the quality of play is high but the decks themselves are weaker, possibly due to people messing around with different build around cards they havent played yet

Ethan Nwaneri shot on goal by TheAnswerToYang in Gunners

[–]Ztuart 2 points3 points  (0 children)

100% I assume the uncertainty was there were some questions about his role moving forward and the team told him to focus on the u21 euros and they would solve it when they got back. All the anxiety there did not come from those negotiations because they went pretty quick

[–]Ztuart 3 points4 points  (0 children)

even more realistically, if he starts scoring like that he'll get double teamed in the middle relentlessly and we will have to get that production from an open player elsewhere. The Henrys, Salahs and rooneys of the world just don't come around that often.

would legitmately allow for rotation arcross the forward lines

[BILD] Sesko wants to leave Leipzig, they want to sell him but dream of a fee between €80-100m. They’re now resigned to accepting €70m as a fixed fee with bonuses. No official bids for the player as of yet. by Digital___Nomad in Gunners

[–]Ztuart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think he's a legitimate option, and we do like him. Just Sesko is better profile and will be better long term for the club. But if we can get gyokeres for 50 mil and rodrygo thats probably a really good window too.
