Just a city boy born and raised in west Detroit. Arsenal, St Pauli, and other things from Asheville. Forever halfway to heaven under horsepower of my own.

Just got a bill from UPS to pay the tariff for an item I bought on Amazon.

Yes, I know that tariffs are a tax on stupidity but I thought Amazon was including tariffs in the price. Is getting billed directly the new normal?

Can't see how my profile photo would be offensive in any way other than the fact I'm wearing an arsenal shirt these days

I changed my cover photo in case that was an issue

None. Just saw my profile photo was blurry one day and that was on my profile.

I'm baffled why I got this in the first place and have removed anything that could possibly be the problem. Two appeals and no response.

Anyone else run into this before?

Big Eight Head to Heads:

11 pts Arsenal (played 7 Home 2 Away 5)
10 pts Villa (pld 5 H3 A2)
9 pts Liverpool (pld 6 H3 A3)
7 pts Man City (pld 6 H3 A3)
7 pts Chelsea (pld 4 H2 A2)
7 pts Man Utd (pld 5 H2 A3)
5 Newcastle (pld 5 H4 A1)
5 Spurs (pld 6 H3 A3)

Arsenal have had the harder fixture list.

Arteta would say that about a player that was subbed on and off in the same game regardless of injury status to give cover for the performance or his decision to avoid other questions. Wouldn't read too much into it.

Shocking how fast it broke down. They need to get whatever they can from Saudi for him in January and maybe, just maybe, put that money towards a defender or three.

Honestly, I just need one more major trophy for Arsenal.

Then I'll go to therapy and start creating healthy boundaries between me and the club.

2 wins, 2 draws & 1 loss in our last 5 Premier League games

Safe to say we're in a slump.

Need to get 9 points from Wolves, Everton & Brighton before we play Villa again

Stop top of the league then beat Villa, Liverpool & United in January to rebuild confidence for the run in

We were struggling most the match to get the ball up with any consistency and he was the weakest link in the back 4

Very challenging for him in a new lineup at a tough place to play so I'm not trying to throw shade on him.

But if Arteta wants to have absolute control of games without Saliba & Gabi, he might need a different approach than telling this back line to play the same way.

I'll take either right now lol

I'm genuinely surprised by a lot of the comments about Hincapie's performance today.

I think he did fine defensively (up until the very end) but I thought his lack of confidence on the ball was a root cause of our inability to control.

And he gave it away for the final sequence for Villa's goal.

Incredibly frustrating. Never had control of the match other than for a short period after halftime.

We didn't look confident moving the ball up the field and didn't really play as a team today.

Not surprising given the key injuries but we should have done better.

Wolves coming at a good time.

I think Gary practices that twice a night every night before bed while praying to his Ferguson shrine

I'm not too nervous about today's lineup honestly. It's very high quality and we have enough game changers on the bench.

Just please. No more injuries.

This entire World Cup Draw reeks of corporate training videos made by a CEO who thinks he's funny because everyone laughs at his jokes but they only ever laugh because he gets butthurt and mad at everyone if they don't

Gonna need three Emi Martinez own goals tomorrow to rebalance the football karma after this spectacle

What an obsequious, toadying, servile, brown-nosing, corrupt little cunt Gianni Infantino is.

The FIFA 'peace prize' is the most cringe-worthy, pathetic thing I've ever seen in my life.

Football deserves better than this travesty of a ceremony and ruling body.
