I'm at the point with transfers that if Edu and Arteta want a player, then that is good enough for me. They have picked out enough talent and made some great signings that I'm happy to just let them do their thing without getting stressed about who/when we should buy.

And anyone who does sign for us, I will cheer and back them 100%.

We've consistently had more hits than misses at this point. Even the misses we might be able to offload and break even. The better the team does, the more it affords us to have a few duds here and there.

Wow we are actually bigger than the soccer/football sub in lemmy. We are indeed gargantuan

[–] Normott 3 points 1 year ago

We are probably the most engaged Reddit fanbase. Other subs have more users but I think we generally tend to have more activity than other subs, so it wouldn't be surprising if we were kicking ass here too

Happy to see the community adapting to Lemmy, lets make this community (sub?) thrive during the blackout!

Anyway, Rice? Always rated him.

[–] Rox 10 points 1 year ago

Honestly, I hope it thrives after the blackout. I plan on staying for a while. Reddit just rubbed me the wrong way with all their profit chasing.

Anyway, Rice? Great with some curry.

Good luck remembering to do this daily until we get bots

[–] Mijn_Bergkamp 7 points 1 year ago (19 children)

I have a secret weapon.

If I forget I'll just blame the mods for not automating it...

Also it should probably be at a better time than just 'I'm awake and we don't have one yet

kinda funny how small the spurs community is

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Spurs get battered everywhere they go, even on Lemmy

[–] Eabryt 3 points 1 year ago

What else do you expect?

[–] Mijn_Bergkamp 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Interesting, thank you

Edit: Wow there's a lot of NSFW subs on reddit

[–] I_am_the_grass 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The API changes hit NSFW subs the hardest because third party apps will no longer be able to show NSFW content even if they pay the fees.

Didn't they learn from Tumblr what happens if you hurt the porn?

Ironic that /r/amitheasshole didn't go private because that's 100% an asshole move

[–] Mijn_Bergkamp 7 points 1 year ago

Thought we might like a discussion thread, otherwise god only knows were everyone is going to post their hot takes when rice inevitably signs later.

[–] Matt_Sams_314 6 points 1 year ago

I went to the stadium / armoury yesterday to get the new shirt and decided to get the champions league patch on it to celebrate being back after so long out... terrible choice - the queue for shirt printing was over half an hour, they'll definitely have more staff working it when the season starts, but be prepared to wait if you want it done in person!

[–] Jambo 6 points 1 year ago (6 children)

Howdy fellow ex-redditors. Wondering how many of you I recognise from the sub...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Got a brand new username, treating it like a fresh new start lol

[–] Astrealix 2 points 1 year ago

Same, my old one used to have way too many numbers

[–] Mijn_Bergkamp 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Dunno what you're talking about, we're all new here....

[–] Jambo 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well your name certainly doesn't ring any bells..../s

How are you liking this? Apart from it being noticeably quieter?

[–] Mijn_Bergkamp 2 points 1 year ago

Sorry, real life rather rudely intruded oday and I haven't got a Lemmy app.

It's not as slick as reddit but as I still mainly use old reddit it's not too different.

It really shows that for all Reddit tries to make things look cool and add paid for content, what actually makes it special is the amount of people using it. If everyone from r/gunners was on here there's really no reason not to stay here and let reddit die.

Just got on here cause im an addict for arsenal news and discussions, anyone got a guide on how to use activity pub to browse and post comments on this community using mastodon?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

@vizhal007 @Mijn_Bergkamp it's a bit janky. You find the community by entering [email protected] into the search box on mastodon, then following it.

You then see what's posted in your feed, and can reply to individual posts or their replies. You can't post on lemmy (as far as I can tell) from mastodon.

I sort of feel like we're missing the hot takes so... I really don't ahve an issue with chasing Castagne.

He seems solid, the Belgians still play him and literally no one has come out of the Leicester defence with looking good so I'm prepared to say it might not be his fault.

Remember Ramsdale was relegated twice.

[–] Astrealix 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I trust in eduteta tbh, they've learned it; plus our last belgian went well and Stuivenberg has coached Castagne also

[–] Mijn_Bergkamp 3 points 1 year ago (7 children)

Airpod albert also coached a certain belgian midfielder we eventually had to loan out though...

[–] Astrealix 4 points 1 year ago

I think Lokonga is still gonna be good, we just improved faster than him unfortunately. You don't get made captain at 21 if you're not good. Hoping we send him on loan again next season to get regular game time.

Ngl, I miss both r/gunners on reddit and especially r/soccer. When the Mhhbop news broke my instinct was to go there. A shame they weren't available but a necessary shame

[–] Mijn_Bergkamp 4 points 1 year ago

Never forget this is entirely down to reddit being dicks

[–] TinPotRadioShow 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Outside of football news, gutted I had to cancel my ps5 order. So many decent looking games coming out

Did you see that ludicrous display last night ?

[–] Matt_Sams_314 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

How much do you reckon the user count can go up today / tomorrow with the blackout? Can we get to 500?
