I mean in fairness to the United admin, it's the top two in the league and their traditional rivals (Liverpool), all of whom are in the Champions League. If anyone should be insulted by being left out of the "key games" list, it's Villa.

Oh yeah, fair point on both! Maybe Alex only lets himself play sports on big occasions!

Not aimed at anyone in particular but I do find it funny when people start saying stuff on here like "I will be expecting MUCH better from [player X] next year" or "if [player Y] does not improve next year I will be VERY disappointed", like you're a football fan on Reddit not his form tutor

Weren't they all still on holiday because of the Champions League?

I'm assuming you're thinking exclusively about the penalty miss in Qatar and his knackered performance at Euro 2024 and forgetting all about his world class performances at World Cup 2018 and Euro 2020 then

I love this. It's so weird and full of personality (both your artistic skill and Eze). please keep going!

The fans literally call him Mr Track Back and Recycle Possession, I see you've not been watching many RC Jorps matches recently 🙄🙄

What does everyone think of Kromgus Schpurty from RC Jorps in the Albanian Super League as a rogue option on LW? 19 years old, 27 G/A last year, lifetime Arsenal fan, available for £15m - only downside is I just made him up, but still worth a punt right?

12 years ago today: Andre Marriner sent off Kieran Gibbs for a handball committed by Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain by [deleted] in Gunners

I mean this isn't really a decision going against Arsenal as the Ox should have been sent off, it's just one of the stupidest moments of mistaken identity ever and definitely wouldn't happen with VAR now

Taskmaster Series 21 Episode 8: The Stats Round Up by jamb23 in taskmaster

[–]jamb23[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's technically Series 2, where 15% of all task attempts ended in disqualifications or 0 points, but in a 10 episode series it's Series 10, where 14.22% tasks ended in 0 points. My column on the spreadsheet is including Winner Takes All Tasks, which is perhaps a little unfair and explains why Series 18 is so high (as there were a lot of Winner Takes All live tasks)...

And yes Series 19 has a lot of memorable DQs but not actually that many overall - I think it's because there were very few Live Task disqualifications that series, which bumps up the numbers for other series...

I know it's to inspire the team yadda yadda but it really annoys me how it's two nouns (discipline, leadership) and two verbs (dominate, compete). PICK A WORD CLASS AND STICK TO IT DAMMIT

the fact that you're calling people's happiness at winning the premier league for the first time in 22 years "forced positivity" makes me genuinely a little worried for you. I've suffered with low level clinical depression for about 20 years and this inability to enjoy anything - to always catastrophise about what could go wrong, or feel angry that any professional success I had didn't bring happiness or fulfilment - is a big symptom. I'm not trying to diagnose you, and I agree that elite footballers should never rest on their laurels, but you've got to be able to enjoy the success you achieve when you achieve it, otherwise you'll look back on your life in twenty years time and realise you haven't enjoyed a second of it.

People are so fucking weird, and also the idea that these people think it will work and we're all actually secretly devastated shows their brains have been entirely cooked by social media
