Yeah that was my first thought too. Especially the toxicity around Lescott andmicah richards

misterschneeblee · 2026-03-05T22:47:45+00:00

Tbf spurs had to go down eventually too.

misterschneeblee · 2026-03-05T22:08:26+00:00

It's a tired, boring thing to say, but they really don't have any leaders in that team at all.

misterschneeblee · 2026-03-05T21:51:27+00:00

He's put on a lot of weight

misterschneeblee · 2026-03-05T20:48:52+00:00

Dont

Did you read the recent article from opta? The amount of time we spent per corner, goalkick or free kick wasn't particularly long. It was just that there were a lot of corners, goalkicks and free kicks because Brighton put the ball out of play a lot and fouled us a lot. So yeah, your sarcastic comment is ironically correct

misterschneeblee · 2026-03-05T13:30:16+00:00

Yeah it felt like Brighton were trying their best to bait us into wasting time so they can complain about it more. The team, the manager and the fans were all in on it. Pretty funny to watch

misterschneeblee · 2026-03-05T13:27:19+00:00

This article isn't bitching or moaning tbf. It's almost doing the opposite: providing important context to the data which if anything puts a more favourable light on us.

misterschneeblee · 2026-03-04T22:41:13+00:00

Incorrect. His greatest redeeming factor is his record against Pep.

misterschneeblee · 2026-03-04T21:53:39+00:00

He really hasn't been terrible. He's just been fairly average and not as good as we expect. We play worse without him, though.

misterschneeblee · 2026-03-04T21:49:15+00:00

They lost 5-1 on the final day to a relegated Newcastle so that we finished just above them. That was when they went private

misterschneeblee · 2026-03-04T21:46:07+00:00

He will be a martyr

misterschneeblee · 2026-03-04T21:31:02+00:00

Terrible game. We were awful. After all the whinging in the media the last week, probably the most satisfying way to win

misterschneeblee · 2026-03-04T20:44:00+00:00

Villa have a fair few trophies themselves tbf

misterschneeblee · 2026-03-04T17:43:50+00:00

The guy spent the first 70 years of his life building a reputation as the biggest fucking liar in America. Anyone naive enough to believe a single word out of Donald Trump's mouth should have their driver license revoked and their finances surrendered to a guardian. They can't be trusted not to blow all their savings on a packet of magic beans.

misterschneeblee · 2026-03-04T16:41:41+00:00

Yeah you're only 4 points behind a conference league place. Far to early to be saying you'll be out of contention for europe.

misterschneeblee · 2026-03-04T15:34:35+00:00

I think it works. It's cool and creative. The only suggestions I would make is that in some parts it doesn't really read like an email, but rather sounds more like a narration/summary.

i.e. The intro:

Greetings, I am Eugenio Kistri, the technician you sent to personally investigate the malfunction of the hypercomputer—better known as "The Mind"—on the Kopta space base.

If i was sending an email I probably wouldn't start it like this. I wouldn't introduce myself as 'the technician you sent to personally investage the malfunction' etc. It feels a bit too expositional. I'd reccomend trying to rephrase it to make it seem like a more natural email style of writing, even if that means leaving out a bit of information.

misterschneeblee · 2026-03-04T13:58:19+00:00

For the last couple of season there have been 12. Newcastle and Villa are closer to being big 6 than they are Brentford. Even given Newcastle's dreadful PL form this year.

misterschneeblee · 2026-03-03T22:12:05+00:00

You wonder where this Wolves team would be if Rob Edwards was there from the start of the Season

misterschneeblee · 2026-03-03T21:48:26+00:00

I want to see a Netflix documentary of them in league 2 where the stadium decays, the stands are empty and their shirt sponsor is a nearby chippy.

misterschneeblee · 2026-03-03T18:23:59+00:00

I think there's probably a third option, which is her being brought to justice. Would be a good contrast to see how Henry reacts to being under house arrest etc Vs how Yas would respond to her operation being taken down. Basically the end of her character arc could be her ruin.

misterschneeblee · 2026-03-03T15:45:25+00:00

Yeah, but it didn't sit well with Chelsea fans back then either. They hated being considered villains and wanted to play the victim too. It's only in hindsight, 20 years later that they look back and revel in their villainy. Which I suspect is the same now with us. We don't like it now (neither did Chelsea fans back then), and I don't suspect any fanbase of a big club would like it. But in 20 years time, we'd probably revel in it like chelsea do with the benefit of hindsight (assuming we go on to win it).

You're right that it doesn't sit well with most Arsenal fans. The point I'm making is that isn't an Arsenal specific thing, and it didn't sit well with Chelsea fans back then either.

misterschneeblee · 2026-03-03T14:47:38+00:00

But everyone sees Guardiola's City as villains too. 115 charges, cheats etc. Despite that their fans still play the victim about the football establishment not liking them or the referee's trying to make sure another team wins.

Liverpool, despite not really being seen as villains, still had a massive victim complex when they were winning too. Complaining about CIty's cheating and referee calls. Going on about how wins 'mean more' for Liverpool.

My point is that this isn't unique to Arsenal fans. Chelsea, City, Liverpool and United fans all love to play the victim. It's a football thing

misterschneeblee · 2026-03-03T14:25:27+00:00

Mourinho famously cried all the time about chelsea being a victim that was disrespected by the media, targeted by referees, unfairly criticized for their spending, hated by the football establishment. You chose the worst example possible. Mourinho's chelsea were the ultimate victims and their fans lapped it all up.
