@Samhausen_182 There are plenty of examples within the "established clubs" where they had to endure a very long cycle of investing in infrastructure in order to get the payoff years later. I don't know why you think your clubs should be any different
@football_pb@SkySportsNews Let's be honest, we are all surprised at how he doesn't have more cards in general, including red cards lol. He will most likely be punished more for his aggression when he's playing for us than when he did at Newcastle
@Albie_937@nihalist___ Nah sorry, within the context of this match, that was not a foul. Far more egregious fouls that Egypt should have gotten were ignored and play was allowed to go on in favor of Argentina. The double standards shown within the same game are unacceptable
@Garryjgc2 Best 80m Arsenal ever spent. He did an amazing job, and the price to pay for being so remarkable is that people think you should have done more. I just saw a commentator recently say Pep Guardiola should have won more lol
@Joel_CP_70@ChazArsenal@footalyse It could be both. The team in 22/23 overachieved, as we saw by what happened in 24/25 when our title challenge was non-existent. I also think the league as a whole has become a lot more difficult, and the fact that all European finals had an English team in them showcases that.
I’ll tell you why Mikel Arteta, for me, is a legend of The Arsenal.
The Arsenal was a falling giant. A wounded animal. The laughing stock of the league. Stick it on them and they crumble; that was the rhetoric. And it hurt because it was the truth.
With no prior experience beforehand, he arrives in N5 and becomes our linchpin for change. The entire culture, how we operate, the way we play, the consistency season in season out…remarkable, silencing a plethora of narratives that were previously true, whilst consistently making bold decisions that required immense courage. Take the Aubameyang situation as one of many examples.
Moreover, his ability to keep the collective motivated, despite previously failing to achieve the grand prize is ridiculously impressive. Naturally, it’s very easy for players to lose faith. But that’s not the case with this group. How Arteta delivers his message exemplifies powerful leadership. It’s one of his greatest qualities.
We have gone toe to toe against teams who spend more on resource than us, year in year out. He’s directed us to our first major trophy in 22 years, beating the best manager I’ve ever seen in Pep Guardiola . That’s an incredible achievement and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.
Look at the togetherness he has created. Days like yesterday happen because of him, alongside KSE who had the utmost trust in him from the get-go.
For many, he won’t be viewed as a legend until he wins more trophies. They will look at our long, glorious history and point to other managers who have won more. I appreciate that sentiment.
However, I can only tell you how I feel and as someone who has been watching The Arsenal religiously since 2006, witnessing the dark times as the years progressed, what we are observing today isn’t a given. Big teams don’t always come back on top. For example, United are still waiting for the glory days to come again. Chelsea are a mess.
Arteta has altered the mindset. He’s brought back belief. He’s raised the standards to a point where we are disappointed in losing a CL final against a team that has unlimited resources, who have the luxury to rotate freely because their league isn’t competitive.
My Arsenal are back and Arteta is the leader behind it. That’s why for me he’s a legend of this football club.
With that logic, the 185 billion that have been cut from SNAP over the last 10 years should have had an impact on Doritos price, right? Yet over that same time, Doritos got much more expensive. When you don't even bother questioning your logic, you end up in a very dumb place.
It's because TVs aren't subsidized by the government.
The reason Doritos are so expensive is because, up until recently, people on welfare could get them with SNAP, so PepsiCo could charge whatever they wanted and had no reason to care whether or not you could afford it because their primary clientele were people who were using your tax dollars to buy them. You pay more because someone else is getting it for "free", and by "free", I mean you're paying for it with your taxes.
Since the government doesn't buy TVs for people (with your money), TV manufacturers have to price competitively, hence the low TV prices.
