I have questionable artistic skills and a love of Arsenal. Here is where I combine the two.

Hi, I'm working on poorly drawn arsenal becoming less social media reliant. You can make that happen by subscribing to my free newsletter!

We have 140k on X at @scoutedftbl.com and the click-through is absolutely horrendous. Engagement there counts for almost nothing material, plus the site makes me feel like shit

Thank you I appreciate it! More to come

yeah, really grateful to him and the arseblog guys for pulling the community over here. My writing gained exactly 0 traction on the other site but I've found a small audience here and actually feel connected to the readers, which I didn't think really happened anymore

Very kind and totally unnecessary man, but I really appreciate you. Subs aren't turned on atm (it's a pledge) so you won't be charged unless I decide to make the leap sometime in the future. just fyi! :-)

Diaby was one of my favourites, hands down. This new Tom Curren drop reminded me. Back in the days when we desperately needed that elusive DM (what we now call the 6), the mere prospect of a Diaby comeback was the transfer window I truly waited for.

my grandfather died two days before a final paper was due in a class I had 15% attendance in. I wrote the essay in a day at my parent's home with my grieving grandmother. I got a first. suck my ass

I wrote a 15 page report on heraldic symbolism in medieval armor and weapon design for my art history class the night before it was due (8am class). Made up 90% of it (only found one book for reference) and got an A. GenAI could fucking never.

wrote 20 pages on Faulkner's The Bear four hours before final papers were due on trucker pills and coffee and cigarettes and got an A, fuck you.
You people couldn't hang with real slackers.

"...as long as Viktor Gyokeres has four long arms wrapped around him that might otherwise be grappling with Bukayo Saka, he is making a marked and significant difference..."

Yep. 100%

This is really good.

After reading the first paragraph I can't help but wonder if the whole fanbase collectively thought this in silence... Because I did.
