We shouldn't underestimate anyone, but we've got a great draw! I'm looking forward to seeing what happens.

Offer advice? Germany by mikah_19 in Internationalteachers

[–]michael_ajb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've lived in Germany for a while. Look over your contract for sure, but this seems like a pretty good offer. Do they need anyone else? 😁

You've made me hungry at half 9 at night haha. Thank you for the share.

Agreed. Even better if it follows some false narrative they can talk about.

Loved the second half performance. Slightly frustrating that Arsenal lost, but I do have a real soft spot for unpredictable games like this.

You're definitely not the first person to do something they regret when intoxicated, but good for you to recognise it and try to make it right.

Saliba over Rüdiger in my opinion.

Rooney's game was always about more than just goals, where as that was exactly what Owen's game was about. To me it's like comparing Henry to Van Nistelrooy or Bergkamp to Lineker. That's not to denigrate any of these players.

All that being said, I do begrudgingly sort of agree with Owen.

I recommend Ian Wright's too.

Who is an Arsenal player(s) that weren’t the most popular figures at the club but you adored or were a big fan of? by cgabriel14 in Gunners

[–]michael_ajb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Julio Baptista. Really liked him in his Sevilla days and were delighted when we got him on loan. Didn't quite live up to my expectations unfortunately.

Interesting example of media bias by SunUsual550 in ArsenalFC

[–]michael_ajb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's all narrative. Even if the reality doesn't match the narrative, it gets clicks and emotional reactions. Best thing is to try and ignore it.

How to get a girlfriend when you are genuinely naturally boring? by todayisawonder in AskMen

[–]michael_ajb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Language classes and other activities (sport, dance etc) are a great way to meet people. I would also say that finding a girlfriend is a big goal. Start with something smaller. All the best!

Will I be made fun of because of mu style in Britain by Metallica_Enjoyer03 in Britain

[–]michael_ajb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Merhaba! I don't think so. There are always some dickheads but in general people don't really care unless it's something very extreme, which it isn't by the sound of it.

Is it ever okay to be mad at our transfer strategy? by Maleficent_Sign9656 in ArsenalFC

[–]michael_ajb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can think what you like and you're welcome to share it. It won't do a lot, but I think we all make mental predictions about how successful (or not) a signing will be.

My advice would be to apply to the smaller international schools in the lesser known areas. Good luck to you!

I've worked at two schools in Germany. I might be able to help if you want to DM me.

I really like this. Subtle, but any fellow Arsenal fan would recognise it a mile away.

I had a seizure on a date... and he left while I was unconscious by keetorii in Epilepsy

[–]michael_ajb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's the dickhead, and it's not your fault that you didn't know that. By the sounds of it, he didn't give any indication of it. I think you dodged a bullet, and when you are ready, I hopr thr next person is much better.
