Arsenal is 6 points ahead of Man City. But I remember in January 2023 when we were 8 points ahead of them and they still won (I remember an 11 points lead but google can't confirm). Although those two teams are very different now, Arteta is right, it's far from over

I takes an enormous amount of efforts to build a "nice" (robust, sustainable, convenient) system to support your colleagues, and almost no effort to destroy it. That doesn't mean that it was pointless, or that we should stop doing it. It's one of the universal lesson from life. Patience is a virtue.

This is what it’s like to read about the American governing elite right now.
![At least five Tang dynasty (618–907) emperors were incapacitated and killed by immortality elixirs. In historic recurrences, the newly enthroned emperor understandably executed the Daoist alchemists whose elixirs had killed his predecessor, and then subsequently came to believe in other charlatans enough to consume their poisonous elixirs.
Emperor Xianzong (r. 805–820) indirectly lost his life due to elixir poisoning. The Xu Tongzhi (Supplement to the Historical Collections) says, "Deluded by the sayings of the alchemists, [Xianzong] ingested gold elixirs and his behaviour became very abnormal. He was easily offended by those officials whom he daily met, and thus the prisons were left with little vacant space." In response, an official wrote an 819 memorial to the throne that said:
Of late years, however, (the capital) has been overrun by a host of pharmacists and alchemists ... recommending one another right and left with ever wilder and more extravagant claims. Now if there really were immortals, and scholars possessing the Tao, would they not conceal their names and hide themselves in mountain recesses far from the ken of man? ... The medicines of the sages of old were meant to cure bodily illnesses, and were not meant to be taken constantly like food. How much less so these metallic and mineral substances which are full of burning poison! ... Of old, as the Li Chi says, when the prince took physic, his minister tasted it first, and when a parent was sick, his son did likewise. Ministers and sons are in the same position. I humbly pray that all those persons who have elixirs made from transformed metals and minerals, and also those who recommend them, may be compelled to consume (their own elixirs) first for the space of one year. Such an investigation will distinguish truth from falsehood, and automatically clarify the matter by experiment.
After the emperor rejected this appeal, the palace eunuchs Wang Shoucheng and Chen Hongzhi 陳弘志 assassinated him in 820.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:4d2snfeymcblmvoaxvgfs7i6/bafkreicj4uaxsxrzzrod3yxa3uihy7odewkf4jpynd6mplgxek23u2rx5q@jpeg)
![When Xianzong's son and successor Emperor Muzong (r. 820–824) came to the throne, he executed the alchemists who had poisoned his father, but later began to take immortality elixirs himself. An official wrote Muzong an 823 memorial that warned:
Medicines are for use against illnesses, and should not be taken as food. ... Even when one is ill medicines must be used with great circumspection; how much more so when one is not ill. If this is true for the common people how much more so will it be for the emperor! Your imperial predecessor believed the nonsense of the alchemists and thus became ill; this your majesty already knows only too well. How could your majesty still repeat the same mistake?[27]
The emperor appreciated this reasoning but soon afterwards fell ill and died from poisoning. Palace eunuchs supposedly used poisonous elixirs to assassinate Muzong's young successor Emperor Jingzong (r. 824–827).](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:4d2snfeymcblmvoaxvgfs7i6/bafkreieltlwjzprlfasqdo67fgciczehab5vw7qrdojwhixyyet6f33yc4@jpeg)
