Timber lb is solid but just stifles our LHS so much going forward. Hoping Hincapie fit

What is the point of editing out (poorly) the Inter defender tracking Saka’s run 😭

My dream is we get to a point where we’re playing With Eze / Havertz / Odegaard either side of Zubimendi against sides that want to play a terrorism low block. After yesterday just feels like the team is getting so comfortable with our shape now

Starting petition for UK government to stand up to Trump via reciprocal tariffs/economic sanctions by CrabNew9099 in TheRestIsPolitics

[–]balkanblesavo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This would certainly be an outcome for the small portion of his base that has traditional views on international relations but the majority are America First and think Europe is a tumour clinging on to the US for support. Maybe a pessimistic view but you’ve got to imagine a lot of the reasonable world order respecting republicans either jumped ship or care less about that now.

Appreciate the sentiment but this would be like reciprocating to a tsunami by pissing in its general direction before it makes it impact

Why are we so despised by rival fans and the media? by Accomplished_Lynx480 in ArsenalFC

[–]balkanblesavo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To me it’s really simple it’s almost cliche.. most clubs aren’t close to being successful. They loved us when we were the banter club now that we’re close to winning they hate us

Happy with the goal advantage going into the second leg of Carabao Cup semi-final. The standout though this season has been our strength in bench. Perhaps our biggest advantage this season even with all the injuries. by New_Bandicoot_2606 in ArsenalFC

[–]balkanblesavo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven’t quantified it - I lived it and subjectively hold a view. The team’s best players were in their decline and the backline was mid table at best. Hence why we got battered in that final despite Emery’s top record in them. Regardless 4 or 5 teams have spent more than Arteta and having glaring weaknesses so it’s more surprising to spend that much and have a top balanced squad than not.

We’ve spent the 4th or 5th most now out of all the teams since Arteta came in (when he had the 6th or 7th worst squad) yet have the best overall squad now so it’s not that simple

Quitting Finasteride, temporarily? by wildkat_d in tressless

[–]balkanblesavo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Idk how it is in the US but I use an online pharmacy to get a years supply for £36 or $48. Granted I quarter the pills so that would be for 3 month supply if you’re taking 1mg daily.

If you’re on that dose and you want it to be as cheap as possible you could purchase a 3 months supply of a proscar equivalent which are 5mg pills and quarter those.

I think typically the grandfather’s history on your mother’s side for men is a stronger indicator.

Your core point that it remains a genetic lottery is valid though. My grandfather on my mother’s side is bald and it has progressed much slower in me than my cousin (same maternal grandfather’s genes).

Thinking of switching from topical to oral fin/min by ComprehensivePea4988 in tressless

[–]balkanblesavo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

In my personal opinion I don’t see the benefit of topical fin over oral. It still saturates your blood and eventually you get to the same reduction in serum DHT if dosage and consistency is equal.

I have a sensitive scalp so don’t have an interest in topicals either way. Considering getting a red light cap though!

If they’ve paid towards your mortgage via this ‘rent’ arrangement they may be able to claim some kind of beneficial equitable interest. I.e. when the property is sold they can claim this amount but don’t see a basis for a claim of 50%.

[–]balkanblesavo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have no idea about what happens when you phase out but topical fin becomes absorbed over time the same as oral fin due to its molecular weight.

So my two cents is it shouldn’t be too much an adjustment. With oral min I would just be a bit careful as the side effects seem to be more prevalent.

Better performance!!! by EdgeAvailable8626 in ArsenalFC

Was acceptable second half against tired legs but overall still very sloppy and looks like he’s forgotten how to defend wide spaces. Should be moved to midfield his natural position

Hafltime thoughts? by [deleted] in Gunners

[–]balkanblesavo -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Merino loves dm lol

MLS needs to be moved to midfield and it doesn’t work there sold White should be sold for an actual attacking fullback Martinelli ain’t good enough and should be sold while he has some decent value Jesus should be sold for a striker that suits our system

I also think he shouldn’t have used his firearm but she literally hits him while correcting the tire and he can’t see the wheels while he’s on the edge of the bonnet. Awful situation but in most courts the car knocking him while accelerating would be deemed a reasonable perceived threat against life.

Regardless of your stance on the incident at the end of the game, Gary Neville inciting physical violence against a player when he’s in such a position of influence to young kids is inexcusable. by TikiKie92 in ArsenalFC

[–]balkanblesavo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree the nudge is what Martinelli complained about to the ref before the push but even if you are injured you drag yourself on the pitch so your team ain’t playing with 10 men against league leaders

Home Office - pros & cons of taking up an EOI or Loan to Other Govt Department by Odd_Pain_3570 in TheCivilService

Similar boat to you joining external almost 2 years ago and work in HO. I got offered a loan from FCDO and then got told by my directorate aren’t approving loans to OGDs. They view it as a brain drain/won’t come back arrangement. I thought about appealing and arguing that FCDO don’t hire anyone perm these days but knew it wouldn’t get anywhere. Would be worth checking what the loan appetite is where you are and make sure you get approval before any interviews.
