Halfway to heaven under horsepower of my own, posting mostly about Arsenal from Asheville

Still holding on to my two pieces of art being installed on The Emirates

I saw it in my head and now you get to see it too
Rosenior at Chelsea
Carrick at Man United
De Zerbi? at Tottenham

Are we going to catch every new manager bounce this season? They're really throwing everything possible at us to stop us from winning the league.

Thomas Frank sacked by Tottenham
Spurs are winless in their last eight league games and have won just two of their last 17.

RIP 👑

They didn't deserve you.
Still not as big as the check he'll receive when he gets sacked this season

So it's de Zerbi going to Spurs, huh?

Gives him nearly 2 weeks to bed in and, if he's a smart man, never let Romero near the stadium again.

I hate everything about this.

At what point do we start calling them Hairchester United

Spurs are averaging 1.16 pts/game as they blaze a path towards 44 points for the season. However, the most points they could accumulate this season is 68. That's only 12 more than Arsenal have now 😂

St Totteringham's Day will most likely be in March, but could be as soon as late February.
February 10, 2026 at 6:12 PM
In the simplest terms possible, Arsenal need 11 wins and 1 draw from the remaining 13 matches secure the title outright
Easiest route to hit this mark?

WINS
1 Brentford
2 Wolves
3 Brighton
4 Everton
5 Bournemouth
6 Fulham
7 West Ham
8 Burnley
9 Crystal Palace

DRAWS
Tottenham
Newcastle

LOSSES
City
Chelsea

And that's being generous to Tottenham, Newcastle & Chelsea 😂

Update after MW25

Arsenal averaging 2.24 pts/game
City: 2
Villa: 1.88

Current Pace
Arsenal: 85 pts
City: 76
Villa: 71

If Arsenal keep current pace then...
City need to improve by 35% to 2.27 pts/game to beat us
Villa need to improve by 60% to 2.9 pts/game to beat us

No one else able to catch us.
Updated after 23 games:

Arsenal averaging 2.17 pts/game
City & Villa averaging 2 pts/game
United: 1.65
Chelsea: 1.61
Liverpool: 1.57

If we keep current pace to 82 points (rounding down) then:

City & Villa need 2.47 pts/game to get to 83
United: 3 pts/game
Chelsea & Liverpool 3+

Improbable.
Arsenal are averaging 2.27 pts per game

City are averaging 1.95 pts per game

If we keep our pace to finish on 86 pts, City will need to average 2.75 pts per match to finish above us on 87 pts

That'd be 14 wins and 2 draws or 15 wins and 1 loss from their remaining games

Breathe Arsenal fans.

Knowledge worker is an overly broad term for "skill-based context translator that operates in the arbitrage of perspectives"

AI is making skills more accessible and reducing the differences of perspectives EXACTLY as the internet has done over the last 30+ years.

Knowledge work will continue...

Now that I've thought more about it, it's pretty much a classic red card for DOPGSOIGHABSETIW*

Szoboszlai had a goal, let in a goal, and got a red. That's about a Diego Costa hat trick.
February 8, 2026 at 6:35 PM
Why not give a red for attempted DOGSO but still give the goal because it's a clear advantage? And yellow for Haaland's obvious foul.

They're making it all up anyways.

PTSD free kick for Arsenal fans but maybe Szoboslai can balance things out?
February 8, 2026 at 6:02 PM
I want Liverpool to win and I think a free kick and yellow was the right call
February 8, 2026 at 5:58 PM
Good to see Liverpool's strategy of adding half a billion of talent to a title-winning team in order to bore other teams to death until they nick a late lucky goal hasn't changed one bit

Liverpool is the world's most expensive Slot machine and still only hits at random intervals
