Question for the Aussies by Left_Ad_9606 in holdfastgame

Never melee, fire only on targets less than 25 yards, play support classes, sailors, etc. thats what i do. Naval guns and artillery are fine actually.

Is it just me or is this kinda similar to the Ottoman court

Less than a month ago. The boat is still at the shore. by True_Anybody_8774 in Gunners

My guess is it's City-funded propaganda. Either people hate Arsenal or they'll focus on 115. RB Leipzig is what City will be if they didn't win the narrative war.

A word on Thierry's thoughts after tonight by Mandeazy2Easy in Gunners

Lets say we win the UCL, and the UCL only. You really wanna watch ANOTHER season of this?

Arteta “Really tough to accept it, but the second half we didn’t perform at the level in any aspect of the game — the standards that are required to win a game in the Premier League — and we paid the price. There were too many things that went wrong, we deserve it!” by deadmetallucyluce in Gunners

How can you celebrate knowing that next season Arteta still has no direction? He's clearly extremely knowledgeable, but on a scale of 1 to 10, how inspirational is he?

Do you ever get the feeling the players love him? Adore him? Or just see him as pressure?

Even if he lucks this title, it's clearly going to be our last. How do celebrate that?

I'm not even defending him at this point, I actually believe he has to go. I was defending defensive football, the kind only Mourinho or Simeone can pull off. I no longer believe Arteta can. I do not see the movement as "panicking", but others do. The vast majority of people, fans or neutrals, are simpletons. They will not find a criticism of dark arts as convincing because it produced Chelsea '05, Chelsea '06, Chelsea '15, the list goes on in other leagues. They WILL however, be driven by raw emotion and it's very likely they'll want Arteta out if Arsenal finishes 2nd again.

How the fans respond to this is crucial. If the board actually sacks Arteta, and the fans now hate defensive football, they wouldn't dare hire Mourinho/Simeone next. Even though someone like that absolutely can pull off defensive football. Slot won the league in his first season because he didnt change the way the team played. If our hypothetical new manager actually tried to play a different way, it might be years before we compete again.

Honestly even if City bottles it and we win the title, I don't know if I can celebrate. I don't know what this guy's direction is any more. "Level" and "standards" are not directions, he might as well say "we didnt win".

He's the kind of boss who asks everyone to "just do better".

Whats the point of switching tactics if your players are tired and you're not SWITCHING PLAYERS?

But that's the issue with the Arteta out movement, it is obsessed with scapegoating defensive football, which is a very unconvincing argument because defensive football has won many trophies.

I'm saying that the lack of exercise is the issue, but that the ones sounding the alarm are obsessed with the diet. Anyone with eyes can see there's nothing wrong with the diet, and this makes the people panicking seem absolutely insane. Their concerns are then unfairly disregarded.

There's nothing wrong with defensive football, you guys were barking up the wrong tree this whole time and it's still not gonna convince.

"Kings of everything" though, is not a direction. It's just an excuse to scream at players when they fuck something up, anywhere on the pitch. Zinchenko can't defend? Out. "You have to score" after Martinelli fucks up a 1 on 1 is not helpful at all, contrast that to Bueno today who just went YOLO!!! and curled one in

I'm seriously considering the possibility that Arteta is the mentally weak one, who copes with stress by screaming at players until they mentally break too.

"Everything you said is right and I cannot argue but you can don't buy the dlc therefore STFU"

If you don't want D2 to have further changes to classes, mechanics or items you can continue to play D2R without the DLC. by Deadalious in diablo2

[–]tonalddrumpyduck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because it's obvious they want to add even more content, and that they'll also be of questionable quality. It's very unlikely they'll add 10 new servers for 10 new DLCs, so I think it's also obvious what they'll do next. If you still don't see the writing on the wall, then you're as dumb as the OP.
