Hey guys,

I just wanna apologize. I promised I would try and make a bot for this community, but I haven't made much progress. I got really swamped with work and school. I know it's a shitty excuse but I just need to prioritize better.

I'll keep trying to get it going, but it might take a few weeks if I can find the time. If anyone wants to take the reigns then by all means go ahead. I just wanted to make something special for this community but ran out of time :/

Much love,

Rox

You're totally fine! Turns out Eabryt is also the person who does a lot of the bot work on r/gunners so when their holiday is done we'll be tryna get it working but honestly the manual stuff has been working perfectly well. Don't prioritise this ahead of your life, it's just a thing for us to have fun with anyways.

Calm down and take it easy man

[-] ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

No worries. Take all the time you need, and don't feel any obligation.

[-] throbbingpens@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

All good! I’m a little too busy right now too, in a few weeks I get a little more free and I can help you if you’d like that!

[-] Astrealix@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

297 appearances. 23 goals. 29 assists. Two FA Cups. And one inspirational story.

Granit Xhaka: forever a part of the Arsenal family ❤️

It's weird having a team where there's no obvious weak link. Feels like ages since we had that. The weakest might be Tierney and he's a damn good player, or Holding who is our 5th choice CB and honestly ain't bad, both of them just don't fit our current style.

[-] little_niggle@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

I honestly cant wait for the video of the (supposedly) double medical tomorrow. It'll be like this video from 3 years ago (ft. Tierney and Luiz) but MUCH more exciting

@Astrealix latest ArsenalVision pod posed an interesting question.

Which player who we wanted to stay, but left, would still be universally welcome back at the club (not necessarily as a player)?

For me, Santi would be an automatic choice.

#arsenal

[-] Astrealix@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I think Santi absolutely, also Xhaka will be soon. Doubt anyone wants him to leave after that redemption arc if as a coach or something. Hell I don't want him to leave even without it lol.

Also, Bergkamp?

[-] thatdosbox@mstdn.ca 1 points 1 year ago

@Astrealix Bergkamp retired rather than left for another club.

But yeah, the question was posed in relation to Xhaka's departure.

[-] Astrealix@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Fair point, I was mostly just thinking about universally loved players tbh. Henry maybe? I don't want him as a coach though cuz he doesn't actually seem that great at it lol

[-] thatdosbox@mstdn.ca 2 points 1 year ago

@Astrealix I got the impression some people weren't happy with his last season at the club, though the reception during his brief return suggests otherwise.

But yeah, definitely not as a coach 🤐

[-] raumdeuter@arsenalfc.social 2 points 1 year ago

@thatdosbox @Astrealix Gnabry?

[-] thatdosbox@mstdn.ca 3 points 1 year ago

@raumdeuter @Astrealix maybe? His "North London is red" after Bayern beat the spuds gives him extra credit, but there was something odd about how he ended up there via Werder Bremen 🤔

[-] raumdeuter@arsenalfc.social 2 points 1 year ago

@thatdosbox @Astrealix true - I put some of that down to our batshit operation in those years.

[-] zahrank21@mastodon.social 2 points 1 year ago

@thatdosbox @Astrealix Was Santi wanted back though? I felt we basically told him to find another role as we weren’t sure if he was capable of playing in the PL anymore.

[-] soycapitan451@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Overmars (pre all the dodgy shit at Ajax), Vieira, Toure, Koscielny, Henry, Santi, Flamini (1st time), Sagna.

Probably loads more for me.

[-] throbbingpens@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

5 more to go for 1000 subscribers.

[-] ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

4 more now.

[-] throbbingpens@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Just 2 more to go!

[-] ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

And we are there! 1,000+ subscribers!

Biggest PL community on Lemmy!

[-] Astrealix@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Anyone having trouble with posting, or just me?

Also REISSSSSSSSSSS

[-] I_am_the_grass@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

No more annoying than it usually is

[-] Astrealix@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I'm starting to think it's a Twitter issue ngl

[-] I_am_the_grass@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I've started linking to Threads when available. It's faster, cleaner and will integrate with the fediverse in the future.

[-] Astrealix@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I'd rather not give the Zuck a monopoly over social media. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embrace,_extend,_and_extinguish

If we let Zuck get into the Fediverse and federate with everyone we'll end up without a Fediverse soon enough.

[-] I_am_the_grass@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Meh. Still rather Threads than Twitter in general.

Agree about the risk with Meta. But that's the point of proper policy making. The reality is Meta brought more people into the "ecosystem" (in theory, since they don't have fediverse up yet) in one day than has existence since it began.

[-] Astrealix@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I'd rather have Twitter than Threads even with how much Musk is fucking it up tbh, but to each their own.

[-] I_am_the_grass@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Yea, I guess. But Musk is making it harder and harder to to consume the content unless you are a registered paid user so thread makes more sense for aggregation.

[-] Never_Sm1le@lemdro.id 3 points 1 year ago

Where does the Tchouameni rumor comes from?

[-] I_am_the_grass@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Real need to sell to fund the Mbappe purchase. PSG are refusing to let him see out his contract and want to sell him now - and Mbappe wants a payout for the last year of the PSG contract that Real will need to fund as well.
