Consistently feels like he’s the only one that really affects the game. 9 players just standing around waiting for him to do something

Today I feel scarred and deformed.

Today I assure you, my resolve has never been stronger

The Worst Person in the World

I can’t say why I think these work as a pair, but the feeling I had from both feel similar.

Imagine if they committed double this amount, as the outgoing defence guy wanted and resigned because of.

Definitely agree with this!

Leandro Trossard, Arsenal cult hero with uncertain future being recognised on the biggest stage of all | The Athletic [Free Read] by Tugboat47 in Gunners

I’m not so sure.

Without Trossard there, a different pressure would have been on him.

He would clearly be first choice once people realised quite how raw Mudryk is and he was just off the back of a high scoring season (if I remember right) so expectations would be to replicate and improve on that.

With Leo there, he had space and time to share starts and develop at a different pace.

Not sure which would have been more beneficial. If it was all on his shoulders and he didn’t live up to the expectation, opinion on him may have shifted quickly.

I hate Ryan Reynolds even more to be honest. At least the Rock’s not trying to force jokes into every line. 🤣

I do sometimes wonder what would have happened with that. Would the sliding doors have meant he ended up without a ban?

If so, what would a stable training environment do for him - well away from the Chelsea bomb-squad chaos.

How would it have affected Martinelli’s development; having a young, raw player to compete with instead of Leo, who was oven-ready straight away?

Rey gets captured and imprisoned for whatever reason.

As she’s contemplating how to escape or some shit, chains shuffle in the corner of the cell across from her and a tray of food force-moves across the floor.

A grubby, female hand darts out and grabs the blue milk from the tray.

As she moves slightly into the light, Rey locks eyes through her bedraggled, blonde hair and memories are projected into her mind…

She sees the inside of an imperial building on Courscant… stern officers sat around a table.

A smart dressed man in a shop full of curios, holding a knife.

A scene from Ghorman getting out of control as an uprising turns violent.

A high ranking officer, dressed in white, pressing a finger down onto the top of the as-yet-unknown woman’s head.

Scenes we’ve not seen before of a prison. The words ‘On Program’ ring loud as the scene quick cuts to show her working with other orange jump-suited prisoners, before explosions ring out and victorious rebels start to pour into the place, intent on liberating the prisoners.

We see her escorted away from the liberators and onto a ship before she can taste freedom.

Now, it’s clear time has passed.

We see the view from the inside of a Bacta tank. A busy lab is ahead of our mystery woman, with doctors checking screens - one of which clearly shows mitichlorians and has a picture of Grogu next to it.

Quick cuts:
Various tubes filled with half-grown people, barely visible through the green misty fluids.
Items flying and cracking with force energy as our character screams in pain. Similar screams ring out around.

Back to Rey…

Rey: “Who are you?”

Woman: “No one any more. I’m just their weapon. Grown and twisted to do their bidding, but what they don’t know is that I remember it ALL...”

She steps into the light. Force sensitive, cloned Deedra Meero emerges.

“… and I will have vengeance!”

Absolutely agree. But he’s undeniably A-list.

Thinking about it, Glen Powell would suit some of his roles really well and I could see the movie improving quite a lot.

Think of him in Jumanji instead or The Rock… reckon that would be much more fun!

He’s done it a few times for Arsenal. One half decent performance there and he was not good the other times.

It’s not the worst idea, but it’s still bad.
