labour are like this close, to just setting up camps to help asylum seekers concentrate
I'd say I told you so but it was always going to happen wasn't it?
This is clearly tongue in cheek.
Barney's a big boy Baz he can defend himself.
Football weekly is absolutely in the shitter and has spent the last couple of years deliberately baiting arsenal fans. I will only listen again if we win everything because I want to hear Barney Ronay cry
Those papists have had it too good for too long. (Sarcasm).
I'd prefer if he was not like that but given I think that fairly describes Biden I doubt it would be worse. To some extent I think wokeness involves not being hilariously corrupt but I see your broader point. If "woke" trump is gavin newsom then defs not.
God that's the british government bureaucratic chicanery wherein the government pretends a different organisation makes the decision for reasons of tradition I know and love.
Depends on how woke but immediately if he like about faced on everything and was just bullishly lefty.
What if they not letting Trump speak because he had a Reverse Fetterman Stroke and hes woke now
If this arsenal team beat you at old trafford what does that say about you? You got outplayed by grimsby town. Like why are you doing this man you'd kill to have a team as good as ours right now.
Same trophy cabinet you guys will stick "we narrowly beat burnley at home" I guess.
Wait...the Archbishop of Canterbury is a government appointee??
Babe babe babe. Arwe u saaaaad. Arwe the meanie Awrsenal fwans being mwean as you lie about how their team pways? Nawwwwwwww have you considered that maybe you don't get to make shit up and say stupid things on a thread about arsenal - a team you don't support. And not expect pushback.
You've not hit a nerve you're just chatting shit and getting hit m8.
If Thatcher's biggest political victory is Tony Blair. Farage's must be Keir Starmer at this point.
Keir Starmer is rapidly approaching literal neo-nazi status.
Liverpool played not to lose yesterday. They managed less attacks on goal than we did. You're talking out your arse. Why didn't Arne try and win? Why aren't you saying liverpool should sack Arne for assembling the most expensive foward line ever and doing nowt with it.
I completely agree both are important. My OG response was dim in retrospect. I apologise.
I am not your enemy I am not saying the things you're saying I am or implying them I reject them wholeheartedly, please try to see that I am just not behaving like someone who's interested in silencing indian trans women because I only care about the rights of white trans women.
that's not what I have said. I have said, Adnan Hussein is an elected politician currently shaping a new political breakaway party in the UK which many of us on the left want to succeed but his presence makes it unconscionable and India willoughby is someone who posts a lot on twitter.
Talia I don't know why you are assuming that I think so little of you because I literally follow you because I think you are smart. I didn't see the other tweet, I did see this one. I've not spoken over you, I've disagreed with the priorities this tweet showed. I don't think you're responding fairly
word soup. I have not spoken over anyone, I have said "person in position of power is more worthy of ire and criticism than this chronically online - and crucially cringe racist poste" You can interpret my tacet disagreement with Talia's priorities as racist but we both know that's bad faith dumb.
Nope you've just misinterpreted what I have said deliberately and repeatedly. I'm done now, you've decided to make a meal out of me and I have (in my own poor judgement) led you on in that respect. I think its shitty and you should log off.
AT NO POINT DID I SAY THAT ARRRRRRRRRGRGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Also Sara if it helps I am devising tism headlines as we speak. Whether I summon the executive function to manifest an actual application remains a roll of some large and oddly shaped dice.
I remain real. Regardless of you being insulting and bad faith continuously.
Its odd because of the context of the situation she's commenting on. Not because of who she is as a person. Why are you assuming I've tried for a personal attack or tried to silence an indian woman rather than the reality which is - one of the people in the skeets is an MP the other is a poster.
Adnan's an elected MP in the UK, he is the party secretary for Your Party the new left party being formed in the UK which is currently in its infancy. I am not interested in what you personally prioritise so I am deliberately not answering the "for me" bit of your question. India holds no such power
outlets like indiegamer or metacritic or various other niche journalism places pay like £20 an article. This pay is low but the industry pay is low as a whole.
You've said I am defending india's racism, it seems odd to say that to someone who think's she's a racist and is being racist here. I've tried my best to clarify my meaning. I don't think you've read anything I have said in good faith I think you have been attempting to find reasons to dunk.
Sorry someone else has used that to describe India's actions and I've mixed it up in my head and assumed it was obvious. Anyway. I agree with you and I agree with Talia. I did not expect to get into a whole argument over my comment I just think Adnan's a villain with institutional power. India isn't
WHY DO I KEEP CALLING INDIA RACIST THEN?
I really wasn't trying to argue that India was saying anything good, its why I keep calling her racist. I was simply saying Adnan's more worthy of directing your energy at. Apologies. I am really not trying to upset anyone or secretly be bigotted. I just commented on a thread, I thought innocuously
Hi Talia, I am sorry, clearly my tone was off, I wasn't trying to tell you what your priorities *should* or shouldn't be. You don't have to listen to me. I simply felt that in this moment, Adnan Hussein is an avowed transphobe and MP in a position of power in the UK and India is not.
I didn't at any point say that, so that's the end of it then. I'd appreciate if in the future you actually read what someone said before looking to dunk on them. Also saying it again because the thread's split. I have not said Talia was doing whataboutism. India was doing whataboutism.
Also to be clear. I am not saying Talia did whataboutism - I am saying India did whataboutism - because that's what Talia said of India. At the very least read my initial comment with that in mind!
Is your argument that I am racist? If so say it, stop doing the allusion thing its tiresome. If you know that that's actually quite a flimsy thing to premise off of me saying Adnan Hussein ought to be the focus of criticism here, then leave me be.
just need a woman in trousers to walk up behind him enough times and presumably he'll have a heart attacK?
fairs, I had assumed we had collectively decided to ignore India Willoughby on the grounds that if not for being trans she would be a raging fascist lunatic. (And still mostly is, she's a very shitty person).
I somehow manage to care about palestinian genocide and trans rights and don't see a conflict between those things. It turns out when some people on the left heard the bad faith "palestinians are homophobes" their actual response was "good" instead of "lying racist fucks".
Corbyn's persistent willingness to ignore the bigotry of people he's made an alliance with over things that concern him does a great job communicating what he does and doesn't care about. Cares about - Palestinian genocide. Doesn't care about - landlords, abortion, trans rights etc etc.
I initially read the attacks on Your Party's incompetence as people making the perfect the enemy of the good but since its become a consistent pattern I was just wrong before. They fucked the launch, they fucked the name, they've fucked trans rights. Its just all real fucked.
the nazi site run by nazis is making more people into nazis not less. Don't be dim.
India is racist. I am aware of who Talia is. Adnan Hussein ought to be the focus of criticism here since he is in fact a raging transphobe and misogynist. Obvs we can do both, but since this post doesn't do both I think it reads strange.
I am aware of who Talia is!
when did I say we cannot do both?
India is a racist. I am aware of who Talia is. Adnan Hussein deserves plenty more stick than he is getting.
I prefer audio if I am looking for "stimulation". I am still a millenial/zoomer who gets themselves into scroll holes but yes none of them are visually appealling enough for them to justify videos. I think I'm weird and autistic though so idk what normies like.
The person she's replying to here is a transphobic wanker. India is racist - she spent most of her time on loose women for a reason. But it seems odd to focus on her doing a whataboutism as opposed to Adnan Hussein's transphobia.
Keir Starmer has appointed as his new Comms Director Tim Allan who was a board member of the hate group Sex Matters. It's no longer even pretending to adhere to its Manifesto promise to "remove indignities for trans people who deserve recognition and acceptance."
You're a united fan pretending that the key footballing clash of the 00s wasn't arsenal v united? Be serious.
I'm cisgender and I'm fucking pissed too. Have a little solidarity and empathy ya fucking melt.
If I were trying to win elections and arguments, I simply would be doing everything I could to move UK political conversation away from a website run by an avowed enemy who believes and writes this stuff about me:
Neither liverpool nor chelsea were serious contenders that season. The "top 4" didn't really exist like that yet.
Actually, Frankenstein is a doctor success at the Venice film festival
The lack of dwebble and crustle love is astounding. Y u h8 my boi?
I do not know of a single manager available who would improve arsenal. I think pretty much all of them would weaken us. Even pep.
Our approach against the top 6 works. We give them far fewer points than they give us. We won 5-0 at leeds last weekend. The room for improvement is against midtable sides not liverpool. On football alone this is just insane. Rape apologism I'm with you, but we both know that's not happening.
We played great today.
I'd love to be the most overrated manager in the EPL if my reasons for being considered overrated are that I've finished 2nd three seasons in a row and built the best arsenal squad since the invincibles which might well win it all.
I do not get this "there for the taking" argument. Its just nonsense. We took them! We played better. We didn't put it together offensively because they were absolutely terrified of us as we were of their potency. Szobozlai hits the crossbar and we all credit arteta with a masterclass.
Also arsenal didnt win at old trafford in the invincibles year. People peddling this shit are so unserious.
....do you think that taking fewer points against big 6 teams helps that goal?
Sounds like we are in fact really good at big 6 matches and have the correct approach for them and should not in fact completely change course because we lost to a worldie FK.
Today's result ended a run of 22 matches without defeat against the "Big Six". This was the longest unbeaten run any team has managed against the collective opposition of Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Man City, Man Utd & Spurs in Premier League history. #LIVARS
I think it was an attempt to throw a spanner and potentially win a penalty. Unfortunately you don't know if it'll work until you learn it doesn't. It was a hail mary and post hoc a bad decision. I can see the reasoning however.
We took city to the final day and got 89 points. It just clearly does work.
I hope we win the fucking league in the ugliest most boring fucking way so they all burst in flames
Arsenal fans and the media towards arsenal are. Really rather nuts.
We draw 0-0 at Anfield today and everyone's arguing about how Arsenal's absolutely outplayed liverpool on their own patch and were it not for some lucky decisions regarding penalties would have lost the game. We're gonna win the title. I'm certain.
Arsenal will never win a game appropriately for this lot. If we win via tight margins its cos we can't attack. Apparently we need to win 5-0 at anfield to be taken seriously. When we lose to a worldie freekick its because we were cowards. We lost on a diceroll. Everything else is post hoc bullshit
This whole “too cautious” thing is absurd. We brought on Eze and Odegaard after managing the game to the 70th minute. We lost on a world class free kick after we brought on the players who aren’t about caution. Maybe give LFC some credit for defending better than many of us expected them to?
Partey stuff I think is a fair reason to get rid of arteta. On a football basis alone you're out of your absolute mind.
Post hoc ergo propter hoc Philipe. We go out with eze and nwaneri in the lineup and valiantly lose 3-1. Nah. Our approach against the top 6 works. We consistently outpoint our rivals in that group. It is bollocks to argue that its cowardly to turn up to anfield without appropriate defensive heed.
The game plan was fine. The lineup was fine. The luck wasn't I am sick of people overreacting to the finest of margins and using it to vastly overstate the significance of small factors. Arsenal were considerably better than liverpool today we outshot them at anfield. We didn't play brexitball.
"More excuses than points" christ mate. Its almost like football is a game which involves a lot of luck even on a great day.
What does that mean dude.
That's never been true in the history of the league. Even the invincibles only drew at old trafford.
Watching people argue we were impotent attacking wise is driving me up the wall. We were much more effective than liverpool attacking today! Liverpool scored a wondergoal and Declan Rice unfortunately never found his delivery boots for setpieces. Fine fine margins.
It feels like so much of the conversation around Arsenal is coloured by a weird folk memory of the 0-0 at the Etihad. It’s now got to the stage where they can outshoot the champions at Anfield but be decried for their caution because of a Szobszlai screamer.
WE ATTACKED MORE THAN LIVERPOOL I DO NOT KNOW WHAT GAME PEOPLE WATCHED BUT THIS IS JUST BONKERS.
Embracing the risk doesn't mean the margins stop being fine at the back though. Why are people behaving as if the comparative world is not one in which we risk a much more significant defeat. Idk what else the starting lineup would have reasonably been either. Maybe nwaneri>merino?
Post hoc ergo propter hoc. We had more real chances than liverpool, more real attacks and more touches in their box to say the least. Teta's style agains the big 6 has consistently made us take the most from those games out of the big 6. Changing it off a single defeat is ludicrous.
But that's not what people are saying. "He should have brought on Eze earlier" is a boring criticism. What people are saying is "arteta can't hack it at this level, we'll never win cos he's too conservative". If people were good faith in the teta criticisms then I'd hear them but they're nonsense.
Rocket is nice. Dandelions are nice. They're not like a main event and shouldn't be used like that but I've never seriously been offered a dandelion sandwich. Pls don't make me do british food nationalism.
Idk I just don't really care to reclaim the england flag. The fascists have always used it and every time there's a worldcup they love it because it lets them walk around unseen. I just associate everyone in an england shirt with danger as an immigrant to the UK.
Not sure this has the desired inclusive effect. Reads a bit fascist but gay rather than the desired fuck the fash.
We can only hope this weekend is a two-4-one.
Got homophobically abused in the streets of Leeds for the first time ever since I came out at school (in like 2011) last october. Group of lads couldn't have been older than 20.
Vance is boring and vacuous. Not a true believer.
I need a full comic of this immediately
I am 29 the future is now old man
its very depressing that Starmer sucks shit enough that if I say shit like that people have to double check whether I hate him leftistly or because he's insufficiently racist.
An Eye for an eye made the whole world blind mate. I dispute the accusation actually but you're not actually being a person just a self-righteous jackass.
this other internet user Jason was attempting to dunk on explains it quite well.
You're right I did fuck up. Sorry Taylor. Why then does that mean I should be treated really shittily?
but also "be coddled" nah, I expect good etiquette, not some hack trying to make me a main character in bad faith. Stop justifying shitty internet behaviour because I was being stupid. Two wrongs innit.
I am sorry I accused you of being american without checking your bio first. That's libellous on my part I retract.
nope you didn't that's my bad. In the same way, if someone talks to me on the street unprovoked I'm allowed to get out a megaphone and call them an arsehole down the whole street, but that doesn't mean I should do that nor does it mean its very nice.
