  1. beyond that, the biggest thing about gen z is that they think that everything/everyone who came before them is dumb, outdated, and irrelevant. they could choose to learn everything about everything. the amount of information that’s available to them is almost unfathomable, and yet they know less about what came before them than any group of people ever, because to them, if it’s older than they are, it doesn’t matter. they’re so, so arrogant, and oddly proud to be so ignorant of history. these kids are so fucked.
  2. jordan peterson apparently did one of these, and it did not go well: https://www.reddit.com/r/PublicFreakout/s/Nkq5E7AAAb one of the best comebacks i’ve ever seen. devastating.
  3. dude fuck all these fans of these other clubs on this forum. we’ve all been cordial for years, but these guys have been openly rooting against and shitting on arsenal all year this year, so fuck that, and fuck them. the gall to deny our injury record, to laugh at our pgmol misfortune, to celebrate everything bad or unfair that happened to arsenal this season, to say that our club and manager have done nothing impressive during his tenure, all while our club is doing better than 95% of the rest of the league is more lame than i can describe. fuck those guys. there is nothing more lame than people who deny reality based on pettiness and fanaticism.
  4. y’all laughed and talked shit when this kept happening and yet you’re in here now apologizing to villa. so, we lost double digit points due to officiating, we suffered a higher number + more severe injuries than anyone else, we played the final three months with no strikers, we finished better than all of your clubs save one on the epl, and did better than all of your clubs in the champions league, and yet you all to a man sit there and say, “there’s literally nothing impressive about that. but man, tottenham sure had a great season.” exasperatedronswanson.gif indeed.
  5. so you’d rather have your club lose 22 epl matches next year than finish second? you’d rather have your club playing in the kiddie league than the champions league? that’s what you’re telling me? that gif is your reaction to someone who doesn’t want to watch their team be terrible in the epl and playing in an afterthought european tournament? lol, okey dokey!
  6. nope. winning a trophy is better than not winning one. nobody said differently. that said, winning a trophy doesn’t automatically mean you had a better season than every club who didn’t win a trophy. tottenham lost 22 epl games and won the carabao cup of europe. there’s not a single person here who would rather have their club’s 2025-26 season mirror tottenham‘s 24-25 season vs arsenal’s, but you’ll all lie to yourselves (and the rest of us) right now and pretend that you would. that’s so dumb.
  7. also, let’s point out the fact that when arsenal was getting screwed out of points week after week after week in brand new inventive ways that have never been seen before or since, you guys either denied it was happening or you laughed and told us not to complain. now aston villa gets one dodgy call and you guys are in here apologizing for it. lol, that’s so lame. y’all just hate arsenal in the same way that maga regards worship trump- completely delusional and based totally on emotions. everything you think and feel is based on whether or not it happened to arsenal. cue the martyrdom comments, but it’s observably, objectively true.
  8. eight of our top ~11-12 outfield players missed 3+ months, including two of our three best players, and all of our strikers. we had zero players score in double digits for the first time since the early 1920’s, and still finished second in the league and 3rd/4th in europe. but uh, that’s all obviously totally unimpressive. finishing one spot out of relegation and beating Lyhfgzbryab’Ojdbehj FC five times is the stuff that legends are made of. either way, denying that Arsenal had worse injury luck than anyone else in the league just makes you instantly lose credibility. denying reality over pettiness is so lame.
  9. i’m not one to say you shouldn’t celebrate winning trophies- you should. it doesn’t happen often- especially at tottenham- and in that sense it’s a big deal, particularly for tottenham and their fans. but come on man. is anyone *really* impressed that tottenham beat Qarabağ, Ferencváros, AZ Alkmaar, Hoffenheim, Elfsborg, Eintracht Frankfurt, Bodø/Glimt, and the worst Manchester United team of my lifetime? does anyone think that was some great, impressive feat? of course not. hell the final wasn’t even good. so, on the one hand, i don’t want to take away tottenham’s joy at winning a european trophy, but on the other hand im not going to lie and say that anyone outside of that club is particularly impressed, nor do they care. nobody this august will look at their schedule and say, “ooh, we play the mighty champions of europe, tottenham hotspur!” nobody respects that title outside of the team that wins it. and yeah, again, you’ll never convince me that tottenham had a better season than arsenal because they won a competition vs alphabet soup teams, when this is what they did in the epl: celebrate the trophy, have your parade, but don’t lie to yourself and say that that one “achievement” makes it a good season for the club.
  10. oh damn, didn’t see this until just now. very cool:
  11. tottenham vs arsenal in 24-25 is basically like this: 2025 arsenal = 2024 Texas Football. only lost to the two best teams, made the playoff semifinals. 2025 tottenham = an SEC team who accidentally got a southland conference schedule and then went undefeated and was given a trophy for it you can love that trophy all you want, and to be fair you should; just don’t equate it with anything meaningful. the ticket to the CL is the actual prize. your “european title” might as well be the carabao cup as far as anyone else is concerned.
  12. i’d rather have our season than theirs, zero question about it. winning a european championship *is* a big deal, and they deserve to celebrate that. getting into the CL is a much bigger deal, and they definitely deserve to celebrate that. but there’s no way in hell i’d rather win a trophy vs a bunch of teams nobody has ever heard of and finish 17th than to have a season where my team finished second and went to the CL semifinals. team A won a competition that nobody cares about vs teams nobody can pronounce, while team B had the kind of season that’s a building block towards winning the only two trophies that really really matter, two trophies that neither team has won in the 15 years i’ve been supporting Arsenal.
  13. tottenham fans have been “dunking on” arsenal fans non stop since their mighty european title… …only to be brought back to reality today. we’ve already established that nobody here is going to change anyone else’s mind, but i’ll simply reiterate that it’s wild to me think that tottenham has had a better season or is in a better position going forward than arsenal. hope these guys enjoyed the last few days of “dunking on” us, because that’s as good as it’s ever going to get.
  14. teams that get promoted are already trying very very hard. they want to stay up. you can really try and have it still not be enough in just one year's time.
  15. two years in a row where we’ve had three teams get promoted and then immediately relegated has got me thinking: what if promotion guaranteed you two years in the premier league, and the three worst teams besides the three newly promoted teams went down? i know, it’s probably a terrible idea for a bunch of reasons. just a thought though, because watching teams go up and then right back down is so uninspiring.
  16. it’s kinda like CC is VY, and the wnba is jeff fisher. no; CC is VY, angel reese is jeff fisher, and the wnba is a league full of six-man hs football teams from the valley who won’t stop complaining that their games are never on Monday Night Football.
