Maybe to you. If this is the kind of content that you like and gets upvotes in this community then y’all have fun with it; it’s not harming anyone. I just commented after seeing it on All because I only just noticed the trend of memes being used differently than they used to be.

Nah this is a devolution.

The woman in the meme is supposed to say something unreasonable, and that makes sense because she’s clearly emotional and angry. Her correctly solving the puzzle doesn’t align with her picture.

Then we’ve replaced the cat with Skeltor… for what? I guess him being wrong makes more sense than the cat because the cat is usually correct, or just minding their own business, but why not use the meme with the monkey looking sideways? Or why don’t we use the Winnie the Pooh meme?

It just seems like someone slapped together three images they saw on Reddit without really trying to make sense. And for some reason people up vote this. Idk.

What’s with all these weird misused memes

Uncultured, clearly hasn’t read enough Discworld.

Oh neat, didn’t think I’d meet another PCV here!

Yeah I recognize the reasons for the differences between pro sports and other sectors but my experiences since graduating have made me appreciate the sports world a lot more than before. Honestly in college I didn’t really make time to watch games regularly and certainly didn’t read about the goings-on behind the scenes, but now I find I have a renewed respect for the rigour necessary in making a competitive team, especially since my PC service has coincided so nicely with Arsenal’s fairly recent ascension. But that’s kind of part of service right? Learning these things about yourself. I’ve realized I want to try putting myself in a more ambitious environment after I’m done here.

Starting to realize what I miss about soccer, and why I enjoy following Arsenal (or just sports in general) and it’s to do with how serious the people at that level take their job and work together. I only finished college a few years ago but the adult world really lacks passion. It seems like everybody is only trying to be as good as everyone else, and there’s so much fear to give a damn and to try to do better because you might fail. That’s how it feels anyway.

I’ve been a Peace Corps volunteer for a year now and it’s just a tough pill to swallow that even folks working for NGOs, hospitals and clinics fighting the tail end of the HIV pandemic are still just going through the motions.

I guess that’s what I admire about these teams that are pushing the limits and trying to be the best in the world. They have massive structures for data analysis and medical facilities for the athletes, they are ruthless with people who don’t do their job and it all comes down to these 90-minute games where the stakes are very real.

I think it was a Tim Stillman article that pondered that Ramsdale was being benched because he wasn’t doing what Arteta was asking him to do because he was afraid of giving up goals. So it may not be a discussion of quality so much as who is more willing to do what they’re told.

It matches both of their characters I think, and Ray’s playing may be a message to Ramsdale and possibly the rest of the squad that you listen to the manager or you sit, no matter who you are or what position you play. Then he goes to phrase it in the media as “it’s just like any other position, I play the player who makes sense tactically” when what he means is “I play the player that will execute my tactics.”

Good read. I appreciate the mention of how they look for good matches for loans for the players. I wonder how many teams are really considered when a player goes on loan.

I know folks like the “ree Spurs are gonna stumble” comments but I think a title race with Spurs would be so much more fun than with City. If we can enter the end of the season with Spurs and Arsenal both with a small point advantage on City then that could make for an incredibly entertaining run-in.

Really? It’ll be whoever’s winning. They’re not looking at anything other than results. Football fans seriously underestimate how many people choose to support the team that’s winning when they start watching.

What reasons?

There will be no City fans to banter

Tough. Stating the obvious here but the UCL is the biggest hole in our trophy cabinet. But another invincibles title, on our 20th anniversary of the first one? I think you have to take that.

I wanted to hear more about the 5-phase plan.

Believe Partey is out too, which would leave us with only Jorginho in the position.

For most people in the US at least they can only identify iPhone or non-iPhone.

I believe Arteta when he speaks about having two keepers that can change depending on the game plan and opposition. I think if he was really just trying to create a contest for the starting position he would say so. We have yet to see what exactly he believes one offers over the other, and I think the general discourse is that Raya is slightly better than or equal to Ramsdale in all aspects so we’ll have to see more games and see what opposition prompts Arteta to play one over the other. Thus far it’s been Raya only against weaker opposition, of course that’s only two games. Could be that Arteta sees Ramsdale as being a mistake-prone “X-factor” for stronger opponents whereas Raya offers a more consistent, assuring, press-resistant presence for games where we expect to win as long as we don’t give away any silly goals. It’s in line with what Astrealix was just saying anyway. If Ramsdale plays against Tottenham I’ll be more convinced of the point.
