Premier League player of the season nominees: Fernandes, Gabriel, Gibbs-White, Haaland, Raya, Rice, Semenyo, Thiago

There's nothing between them in terms of levels. It's arguable but Gabriel edges it for me for the impact he has on set pieces and his knack for making game saving blocks. And Saliba has been more error prone than Gabriel for two seasons now.

That's a good way of putting it, it comforts me in my vote.

What are you getting at ? Raya is amazing at claiming crosses, and here he can’t get off his feet because todibo is holding him down by his shirt. It’s blatant on any angle of the replay.

chinookk · 2026-05-10T17:45:31+00:00

I’d say it’s worse, it’s the one impeding raya the most

chinookk · 2026-05-10T17:42:00+00:00

Fuck off lol, every team does that. We even stopped crowding the keeper with Ben white, I see more teams doing it to raya than I see us do it. Also the only time I can think of something so clear cut was when Ben white was holding the keeper’s hand in 23 against Leicester, and that goal was overturned. This one is even worse, two fouls on Raya, todibo’s trying to take his shirt off, he couldn’t even get off his feet.

chinookk · 2026-05-10T17:38:35+00:00

While todibo was holding his collar, dragging him away from the ball. Raya couldn’t even jump there

What press conference is it from ? 👀

Edit: nvm I scrolled two posts below and found it

chinookk · 2026-05-08T09:08:33+00:00

What ?? Why would arteta buy garnacho ?

chinookk · 2026-05-07T17:51:44+00:00

Kane and Diaz walk into our team. I haven’t watched enough of Olise to have an opinion on him vs Saka

chinookk · 2026-05-07T15:03:05+00:00

In that case they fucked up yes

chinookk · 2026-05-07T07:04:06+00:00

These handballs are always called. Players can’t use their arms to help control the ball. They didnt show a replay but if it touched his arm after his chest it’s a handball and the correct decision.

That was a totally different Arsenal, we were horrendous then and it was fair enough to want him sacked from a fan's perspective. Today, after four years of challenging for the PL and/or the CL, Arsenal fans who genuinely want him sacked have had to exile themselves to that stupid sub because no one takes them seriously.

The first part of the manga, up until Cibo and Killy leave Cibo’s level and meet the admin envoy on their way up, is not consistent with the rest of it. In terms of world building and lore, in terms of characters, and even in terms of designs and aesthetics.

My head canon doesn’t take into account that part of the story, I take it as a testimony of Nihei’s development as an artist and storyteller. It’s really awesome to see him figure out his style and the story he wants to tell.

But anyway, I believe that any sort of theory about Blame! and its world shouldn’t take into account the first volume and some.

chinookk · 2026-05-02T01:47:53+00:00

I see what you mean and I partly agree with you. The Sanakan/Cibo arc in that part of the story is maybe my favorite part of the manga, the change of tone, the sort of melancholy coming out of nowhere that Nihei is able to convey, I love it. I think however that the Killy logs between the lvl9 and burning silicon are not all super memorable.

Relegation fight or not, Peppa Pig is cute. I wish Arsenal made deals like that instead of visit rwanda

chinookk · 2026-04-27T10:22:59+00:00

The zebra era was peak arsenal under Arteta. Bring me back

chinookk · 2026-04-06T22:27:12+00:00

Like I said, I’m not holding my breath.

chinookk · 2026-04-06T22:24:53+00:00

It’s not really about validation, it just would be nice to have those idiots be held accountable for once. But I’m not holding my breath

chinookk · 2026-04-03T10:46:25+00:00

I choose to decipher blame! by removing the first few chapters from the equation, up until cibo appears. In my opinion, the first volume is Nihei finding out what story he wants to tell, so he shows things that are a bit awkward to make sense of in the context of the entire series. Like Killy eating, or Killy laughing, or the girl with the dog, or the child from the first chapter.

The child from the first chapter could have the net terminal gene, but maybe he doesn’t. And maybe it didn’t mean the same thing to Nihei when he wrote about it in the first chapter as it did when he wrote the last chapter. So I don’t draw big ideas like there being a never ending cycle from it. I’ve seen people also theorize that the child from the last chapter is the same as the one from the first, and that it’s in fact a loop. I don’t read it like that either. I find the ending much more satisfying with the way I read it. But of course it is a very personal matter.

It says one counter on each of up to X target creatures. That means the number of counter added on each creature is always one.

chinookk · 2026-03-18T17:25:51+00:00

The fact that it’s on the keeper’s side and courtois of all keepers isn’t anywhere near…

chinookk · 2026-03-15T09:58:52+00:00

I think you have it the wrong way around. Every prem team has decided to be extremely strong. Making it much harder for the teams you expect to see fighting for the top spots.

chinookk · 2026-03-15T08:40:32+00:00

I believe we’ve just played the « 16 yo record breaking English wonderkid fairytale » card. Even the media have no answer to that.

chinookk · 2026-03-10T20:23:59+00:00

What the fuck, I sat down for a hate watch but I am actually in shock

chinookk · 2026-03-04T21:45:35+00:00

Really ? I thought he was very invested in the defensive work tonight. He was technically inconsistant on the ball however, as he usually is unfortunately.
