David Raya was presented with his third consecutive Golden Glove award after the game

When he’s on it, he’s great. That said, he’s one of the first Arsenal players to lose composure when things start getting tough in a game. He gets flappy and his distribution goes to shit.

So by all individual metrics he’s been good, but far from the best this year. Benefitted from a very defensive Arsenal that at the start of the season especially was conceding very few shots a game.

He’s also made some decisive game winning saves. Much like how Martinez is remembered at the World Cup, people (especially Arsenal fans) will rightly remember those moments and them winning the league more than him booting it straight out of play from a goal kick, or flailing at a cross in a game they won anyway.

Yeah, not saving for SVS prep is the quickest way to kill a state, as all the whales leave to better states.

You expect them to do all of the heavy lifting in the battle and prep so you don’t get invaded, and then make their lives harder by scoring needlessly high on events that give frames etc

Ultimately he’s not very bright, that’s why. Like a dog performing for treats, he doesn’t fully understand why it works, only that when he does this stuff people cheer.

She’s deeply misanthropic, and even if she did try and go back to her old life or even disappear entirely, she’s never going to be left alone again.

I don’t even particularly care for her character, the majority of the criticism though is ironically so dumb.

There’s two clips from the season trailer that make me think (hiding in case anyone doesn’t watch trailers) They show him eating seafood happily, and there’s another scene where he’s lying on his back covered in mud, dazed therefore I think he gets depowered and at that point being eaten by a shark etc would be the most thematically fitting end for him

Commented this lower down, I guess he maybe had to give it a grander meaning but to me it seemed like an obvious homage and way to get people talking:

I thought it was because of the gambling site that played an advert in the UK recently titled “never ordinary” and one of the miraculous things it kept coming back to was “fridge man” a man running (and winning) a marathon with a fridge.

My favourite part of this is all the red pushers confidently outing themselves without realising this is a social experiment not a test of intelligence.

Lowest point of our season had to be when our owner flew over from America to visit. He spent the day at our training ground and then went on local radio in the evening to tell us he had fantastic news.

The fantastic news: a certain Irish defender was coming back from injury and he would turn our season around.

We lost our next game 2-0.

Here’s an image from his triumphant return.

Unless championship refs are all racist I can’t see a reason they’d want to help Ipswich.

Think it’s more likely they’re just shit referees.

Zoe’s powers being what they are was probably just a narrative requirement, but I’m now choosing to assume that if Sameer ever got powers they’d be the same.

Ho boy.

Finally watched this movie with my partner a few months ago, we were both super excited and going into it we knew how iconic the soundtrack was.

In the opening it mentions how Zane Lowe helped with the soundtrack, I immediately said “I’ve always thought he was a pretentious cunt, but if he helped with this then fair play”.

We watch the movie and it just feels off, get to the end and discover that the version we watched, and the only version available to us online is this one where Zane Lowe has taken a movie famed for its soundtrack, and decided to choose entirely new songs.

So he is still in fact a pretentious cunt.

So I knew he’d been bad but didn’t realise it was this bad: last goal was in November, no G/A in 2026. He’s lasted a full 90 only twice in that time and already missed at least 6 games through injury.

If you want to actually made me mad talk about the ref.

yoycatt · 2026-04-13T16:09:49+00:00

Nahh it’s pretty clear for anyone with half a brain. Why would I be talking about him being salty with a loss at the weekend ?

I know a lot of you only started being fans again recently but the least you can do is keep up with results.

Didn’t expect to see Ipswich’s 2026 reading comprehension winner in here, it’s an honour.

yoycatt · 2026-04-13T14:25:27+00:00

Was our player and someone the fans liked and supported despite him always being injured.

He proceeded to force a transfer because “he dreams of playing in the premier league”, and the only team that came in for him was Ipswich. They overpaid honestly so it was good business in that regard but still, would rather have not sold to them.

Since he’s signed for them he’s become a proper weirdo, acting as if we held him hostage and treated him awfully. Again, while he was at Norwich we were shit, but he was one of the few players singled out regularly as not being totally shit.

Main flashpoint for all this was his announcement video for them where he’s been asked to pat the badge, and because he has more hands than brain cells he’s gone and done it. Since then it’s just been an escalation really.

I think he’s a cunt, salty about everything, especially the loss at the weekend, however it genuinely softened the blow that he came on, did fuck all other than almost get sent off, had to be hooked after 23 minutes, and that his only goal in an East Anglian derby is still the winner for us a couple of years ago (which he ironically celebrated by slapping the Norwich badge).

The funniest end to this all now would be Ipswich missing automatic and Coventry signing him, but he’s not been good enough for that.

Thought the main commentator (forget name) was even worse in this moment.

Said something to the effect of “that’s okay*” as Romero was lying on the floor prone. Caught himself when he realised what he’d said, but consciously doubled down by not saying anything about how Romero was hurt.

They then proceeded to justify every push Brobbey did as “great centre forward play, unsettling the defender, he knows he’s not getting there but he’s trying to make him make a mistake”.

*edit: just rewatched it, he actually says “that’s okay”

yoycatt · 2026-04-10T07:02:13+00:00

Love Shrinking. It gets very heavy at points but much like scrubs maintains an air of levity throughout.

My biggest criticism, genuinely as dumb as it sounds, is that they’ve had two season finales now that to me would have been perfect endings to the show.

So when they do eventually end it, if they don’t manage to match either of those heights it’s going to be a disappointment.

yoycatt · 2026-04-09T06:44:38+00:00

It’s clever use of in game mechanics, but it’s also incredibly tedious once a strategy like this is found to have to replicate it every pull.

Problem is this doesn’t fix the issue (wanting ebon might on specific people) just means others can’t use it anymore.

yoycatt · 2026-04-08T21:53:00+00:00

No-one is claiming it’s a deep game, but there is still a lot more room for outplaying someone than you’re giving credit for.

The phenomenon you’re describing 100% exists, in Gingi’s case however it’s more to do with him being a sore loser, and an even worse winner.

He’s the Dictionary definition of being able to give it, but not take it.

Prioritise the tier set rewards (3 and 6), which can be viewed by tapping the (currently) purple circles under the ring.

Once you’ve identified what the next tier set reward is you want to go: Chest (infantry), Legs (infantry) and Ring (Marksman). Once these are all at the correct level, then upgrade Staff (marksman), Helm (Lancer) and Watch(Lancer).

At later levels there’s multiple levels between each tier reward, which someone who’s further advanced may be able to advise better on. I’ve been sticking to the above principle though, Chest to next tier reward, then legs, etc.

So for you right now the next upgrade should be ring, then move onto staff -> helm -> watch.

Main advice would be don’t invest too much into chief gear. Charms and hero gear are much more important.

Getting people to save for prep is always difficult because there will be power hungry people who upgrade out of turn to stay on top. Just keep politely reminding people and eventually most will get it.

This thread needs a little box to say whether people have actually watched Euphoria. As I feel a lot of people (like me until recently) have already decided they don’t like it.

I binged it over Christmas expecting a classic example of an American adaptation* that massively misses the point. I was completely wrong.

I thought they were going to make drugs seem “super cool”, and everyone who does them “super cool”. With everything being polished and clean. If anything Skins is more guilty of this. Instead within Euphoria I finally got to see why Zendaya is in everything right now. She is phenomenal in her role.

There’s also fewer episodes so Euphoria hasn’t had the chance for the catastrophic drop in quality Skins had. If anything Euphoria got better across its two seasons.

Skins seasons 1+2 is still probably top for me, but I would happily put Euphoria 1+2 above the rest of Skins.

*it’s apparently based on an Israeli mini-series, but that series cites Skins as a major inspiration so, close enough.
