Wow we are actually bigger than the soccer/football sub in lemmy. We are indeed gargantuan

[–] Normott@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

We are probably the most engaged Reddit fanbase. Other subs have more users but I think we generally tend to have more activity than other subs, so it wouldn't be surprising if we were kicking ass here too

[–] darkufo@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm at the point with transfers that if Edu and Arteta want a player, then that is good enough for me. They have picked out enough talent and made some great signings that I'm happy to just let them do their thing without getting stressed about who/when we should buy.

And anyone who does sign for us, I will cheer and back them 100%.

We've consistently had more hits than misses at this point. Even the misses we might be able to offload and break even. The better the team does, the more it affords us to have a few duds here and there.

Ngl, I miss both r/gunners on reddit and especially r/soccer. When the Mhhbop news broke my instinct was to go there. A shame they weren't available but a necessary shame

[–] Mijn_Bergkamp@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Never forget this is entirely down to reddit being dicks

[–] Jambo@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Howdy fellow ex-redditors. Wondering how many of you I recognise from the sub...

[–] throbbingpens@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I was on Reddit with the same handle but I wasn’t active enough for anyone to recognise :P

[–] Jx277@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Ha, same. Maybe this is time for the rise of the silent lurkers!

[–] Mijn_Bergkamp@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Dunno what you're talking about, we're all new here....

[–] Jambo@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well your name certainly doesn't ring any bells..../s

How are you liking this? Apart from it being noticeably quieter?

[–] Mijn_Bergkamp@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Sorry, real life rather rudely intruded oday and I haven't got a Lemmy app.

It's not as slick as reddit but as I still mainly use old reddit it's not too different.

It really shows that for all Reddit tries to make things look cool and add paid for content, what actually makes it special is the amount of people using it. If everyone from r/gunners was on here there's really no reason not to stay here and let reddit die.

[–] little_niggle@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Happy to see the community adapting to Lemmy, lets make this community (sub?) thrive during the blackout!

Anyway, Rice? Always rated him.

[–] Rox@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Honestly, I hope it thrives after the blackout. I plan on staying for a while. Reddit just rubbed me the wrong way with all their profit chasing.

Anyway, Rice? Great with some curry.

@Mijn_Bergkamp watching reddit go dark in real-time: https://reddark.untone.uk/

[–] Mijn_Bergkamp@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I sort of feel like we're missing the hot takes so... I really don't ahve an issue with chasing Castagne.

He seems solid, the Belgians still play him and literally no one has come out of the Leicester defence with looking good so I'm prepared to say it might not be his fault.

Remember Ramsdale was relegated twice.

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I trust in eduteta tbh, they've learned it; plus our last belgian went well and Stuivenberg has coached Castagne also

[–] Mijn_Bergkamp@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Airpod albert also coached a certain belgian midfielder we eventually had to loan out though...

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

also that's after we signed him, not before lol; Airpods had Castagne at Genk

[–] Mijn_Bergkamp@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

pretty sure albert had him somehwere in belgium?

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not at least looking at wikipedia, Sambi came here straight from Anderlecht

[–] Mijn_Bergkamp@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Fair enough, I withdraw my baseless accusations against APA

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Clearly Kompany as a City legend told us to sign him to sabotage our title run /j Sambi's gonna be pretty decent and I'll be surprised if he doesn't become a significant part of the Belgian national team eventually, just not yet

[–] Mijn_Bergkamp@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

He needs a step up season for that and so far he hasnt. Maybe a loan to Burnley

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

kinda funny how small the spurs community is

[–] DeathWearsANecktie@lemmy.fmhy.ml 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Spurs get battered everywhere they go, even on Lemmy

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Good luck remembering to do this daily until we get bots

[–] Mijn_Bergkamp@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I have a secret weapon.

If I forget I'll just blame the mods for not automating it...

Also it should probably be at a better time than just 'I'm awake and we don't have one yet

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

look, c/football's transfer news is coming from "I'm awake and this is not up yet" so

[–] Mijn_Bergkamp@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

True although I doubt much is being broken at half past two on a monday morning in the UK.

Unless we're getting our links to random brazillians agan

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm back in Hong Kong for the summer hols but that means UK afternoons aren't gonna be posted on time haha; hoping other people help out.

[–] Mijn_Bergkamp@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Jealous, enjoy all the dim sum.

Always a weird one as to when the DD thread should be posted, I know spurs do theirs at midnight

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Personally I like the way r/soccer did it which is having it move an hour every day so it starts at a different time each day with threads lasting for 23 hours.

also yes the dim sum :D its good to be home again, though the heat........

[–] Mijn_Bergkamp@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

undefined> though the heat…

It's pushing 30 degrees in london and we don't do air conditioning...

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I mean the aircon is nice as fuck but you can't get any outdoors, the heat index thing cuz of the humidity and stuff is making it feel like 38 degrees according to the weather channel rn lol

[–] Mijn_Bergkamp@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Doont miss the humidity but at least you can escape it inside, london heat follows you...

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] Mijn_Bergkamp@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

My chinese is basically nonexistent as I haven't lived in HK for over 30 years and even then it was basically dim sum based but I'm pretty certain I recognise that one and I fully agree.

Is there a r/sino on here yet....

[–] Astrealix@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I made a c/HongKong, havent seen a sino lol

[–] Mijn_Bergkamp@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

If this gets popular, I'm betting it will change!
