  1. reaves. i love herro, he’s awesome, but reaves has that β€œtakeover gene” where he can turn it on and just run the game for an entire quarter and change or cement the outcome of a game. so for as awesome as herro is, i see him as the more ancillary of the two. i’m admittedly a big time reaves fan (he’s one of my fantasy keepers in our league), but it’s only because i’ve watched him so much from him being on my team the last two years. he can really take over a game in a way that not a lot of third options can. when ad or bron is out reaves plays like a legit no.2. he’s bout it bout it.
  2. the only real reason i’m posting this is to say that our listed β€œpotential backup xi” is equal to/greater than the teams that wenger was taking to the ucl knockout stages every single year when i first became a supporter. two takeaways: 1)What Arsene Wenger did here was incredible. I cannot imagine another manager taking this club to 19 straight ucl ko stages with the asinine budgets he was given to work with. incredible. 2)the pressure is really on this year. i have been openly and extremely pleased with the job arteta has done. for us to beat City 5-1, and to dominate the defending champion madrid team 5-2 with an injury crisis and merino at striker? i could never have dreamed of arsenal doing these things before arteta. not even close. those teams used to do that to us, regularly. now we’ve done it to them. it shouldn’t be glossed over or unappreciated. and look, trophies are the ultimate goal, but finishing in the top 2 three consecutive seasons with best defense in the league and squad full of guys mostly entering (or still years away from) their primes is straight up badass. that’s on par with what sark has done at Texas, so i’ve really never understood how underwhelmed so many fans have been. this is by far the strongest the club has been during my time as a supporter. that said, we really do need to take the final step and win something this year. we’re going to have the squad depth, we’re finally going to have the striker we’ve been missing, and we’re still going to have the best defense in england and possibly all of europe. it’s got to materialize with a trophy and a parade this year. if not, then for the first time since he took over, arteta will have his most staunch advocates (me) no longer being satisfied with clear but trophyless growth. this year has got to be the breakthrough.
  3. we’re not gonna let nwaneri leave. we’re gonna lock that down. he wants to be here, he just wants to play. we simply need to use him off the bench with some regularity this year. i believe that will happen.
  4. pretty goddamn sick of my phone giving me google updates that i didn’t ask for that are full of fake news.
  5. guess it’s just the phillies in general:
  6. yeah i mean seriously, when i was growing up that pitch would be considered one of the best 2-seam or sinkers in the league. i couldn’t even believe it was a changeup until the first time i saw the slow-mo of his grip and release. just unreal how far athletes have come in ~20-25 years.

  8. meanwhile phil cuzzi seems to have a personal vendetta against bryce harper. wow he is giving him a terrible zone.
  9. not an all star.
  10. honest question: is there another thread here where it would be more appropriate to speak freely on religion, and to challenge religious beliefs, in as respectful a way as possible? because i have about a thousand things i want to say and ask about this: but i don’t want to come into this thread and just start a giant shit show in what i’m assuming is supposed to be a place for christians to gather and talk about their faith. without diving into it too far, i’ll just say that the screenshot above seems blatantly cultish and wildly self deluded to a non believer like me. i truly cannot comprehend how people can make themselves believe that jesus christ was in the flood waters with the small children as they violently drowned in the dark. it’s so obviously insane to me that i’m really at a loss that so many millions and millions of people, many of whom i know, love, respect, and admire, will believe the assertion in this IG post to be as real as the air that they breathe or their family who they can see and touch. i’d be interested in hearing the rationale for this type of belief, but again, not if it means turning this thread upside down. i’d rather just start a new thread if that’s the case.
  11. Trae Tha Truth (for those who don’t know he’s a famous rapper from Houston) is as real as they come. every disaster that takes place in Texas, he and his people are there with boots on the ground, doing anything they can to not only raise money and awareness, but to actually volunteer their time and energy to do anything they can to help. a true humanitarian. can’t say enough about this man. a lot of celebrities shill for money for their favorite causes, but nobody actually gets down to ground zero and volunteers like Trae and his people. rally thankful for him and all that he does.
  12. i mean he’s not even trying to hide it, and he thinks he’s being clever. rex = king kramer = george (seinfeld) angry asshole starting shit with everyone and being super defensive all of the time = dr.george beeper porterhouse
