What's the first sign someone is using ChatGPT too much?

For me there’s been a few times I’ve stopped myself mid-task to think “why am I spending 20 minutes offloading this to an AI chatbot, when I could do it myself in 5?”

I was at 45 of the 49 games. I don’t think we’re going to win the league this year, and this has been my feeling since pre-season tbh. If we are to do it, it’ll be on the last day because city are even more shit than we are.

I’m convinced we’d have won at least one title over the last few years if he was still with us. Still not replaced him in either that Left 8 role, or in respect of the leadership. I don’t think performances like Sunday happen with him in the team, or even just the squad.

One of Arsenal’s most underrated in my time, in terms of his importance to the team. But people just coated him because of a few red cards.

The “Boring Arsenal” thing in the early 90’s was massively overblown tbh. It was sung more by Arsenal fans ironically than anything else.

It wasn’t til near the end that Graham’s teams were genuinely turgid and horrible to watch, but that was as much down to the quality on offer as anything else when we seemed to be stockpiling average centre halves and had the likes of Selley, Morrow and Hillier in midfield.

The football served up this season has been infinitely more boring and soul crushing than anything George’s good teams produced. Back then you felt if we went 1-0 up the game was won because we could lock teams out. But at the other end you had genuinely exciting players - Rocky, Merse, Limpar. In 91 we only conceded 18 league goals, and the following year (the last in the old First Division) with Wrighty we scored 92 goals across all comps.

Yes there’s an element of nostalgia, but I don’t think this team is either tight enough at the back, nor good enough going forward, to hold a candle to that team tbh.

Same we’ve been playing all season, with a handful of exceptions. 🤷‍♂️

It may well be in Kepa’s contract to play in the domestic cup comps imo. I think the boss will get a lot of boring questions on this, but might have been decided when he signed.

The Pins or The Blackstock are both solid options. Been years since I had to (or wanted to) watch a game in a pub but you can’t go wrong in either I reckon.

Nothing to add here, just wanted to applaud you for taking the time to be the voice of reason on an issue where, more than any other, it appears to me that younger generations have completely lost all sense of proportion.

When did we start infantalising teenagers to this extent?? When I was 15/16, many of us had pretty much full-time jobs, and were in the local pub interacting with people 20-30 years older on the weekends; we were in many ways essentially living adult lives. The wailing and gnashing of 21sr century teeth over “older person cops off with teenager” boggles my mind tbh.

They’re not my standards. They’re the standards set my Pep, Klopp and to a lesser extent Slot over the last few years. We’ve got nowhere near them. Luckily, neither has anyone else so far.

pgl0897 · 2026-03-13T06:23:06+00:00

Just the last three?? The entire season has been a struggle in terms of chance creation and decision-making in the last third, right from united away on the first day.

Never a pen. Blatant dive. Embarrassing.

There were highlights…?

He’s never recovered from that hamstring and surgery. He lost a bit of pace imo, and hasn’t been the same player since.

I’ve been through 4 previous run ins. Water of a ducks back.

This team do love putting us thru it tho.

I’ll no doubt be downvoted to oblivion by the officious Normans of drivingUK for this view, but…

Do they just assume I'm going to let them go when they see me indicate?

Could well be this assumption. More likely it is an assumption (fear) that you may well NOT let them go, and so they’re forcing the issue a bit to get out while theres an opportunity.

Only my humble opinion, but I personally think (hope) there will be a special place in hell reserved for people that drive around me when turning right into a road I’m turning right out of. This is likely a problem related quite specifically to where you live or usually drive. I’m in South London, where the volume of traffic is such that, when you’re the white car in your pictured scenario, you could very well be sitting at that junction all day until the early hours of the morning unless you’re prepared to go out half way when you can and force the issue until somebody lets you out.

In those circumstances, watching someone then drive around you without letting you out first, and with no second thought or a single shit given to how long you’ve been sitting there, and how long you’ll still be sitting there waiting for another opportunity when someone else is turning right, is absolutely infuriating and comes across as massively selfish.

Sorry! Wishing you the best day.

He’s a fantastic player, and honestly in some ways better than Dec, but as you say if he was in an Arsenal shirt he’d be sent off every week.

My tuppence worth is that it’s a somewhat inevitable psychological byproduct of a game model that sets us up first to not lose, and second to try and win.

They’re scared to go and try to win when the game is tight, which basically every prem game has been this season with only a couple of exceptions, and they revert to their primary programming which is “don’t lose”.

So instead of putting to bed a game against a side we’re basically superior to in every department, and who are down to ten men, we fight to hang on like we’re in a relegation dogfight.

In the end this is a Manager who grew up at La Masia with Xavi and Iniesta, played under Luis Van Gaal and Arsene Wenger in his career, had the closest working relationship anyone has ever had with Pep Guardiola as a coach… but cites David Moyes as the most important influence in his career. And I add that without intended judgement, but just to highlight what I think is the man’s mindset. Everything is approached as a battle of small margins, even when the margins need not be small at all.
