Luke @lukeish.bsky.social · 12/09/2026The sad thing (for them) is, nobody needs to stop their attack. All you have to do is wait for their League 1 defence to cough up the standard 2 goals per game (minimum). 010 0
Luke @lukeish.bsky.social · 31/08/2026"Gruelling battle"?? Villa had 39% possession and zero shots on target 000 0
Luke @lukeish.bsky.social · 30/08/2026Very simplistic view of the situation. We only have 3 or 4 players we could sell for a good fee, who also happen to be relatively expendable. Martinelli is one of them. I like Martinelli but we know his limits. It's worth gambling that we will find a replacement, esp with his contract up this year. 020 0

Luke @lukeish.bsky.social · 07/07/2026Sorry Elliot, I've enjoyed seeing how excited you've been about this team, so i am sad for you. But with the events of the last 48 hours, it's karmic justice that the team representing the USA has exited in disgrace. 030 0

Luke @lukeish.bsky.social · 05/07/2026Naked, open and unashamed corruption. FIFA are to blame, not the US team. However, by doing this, they have tainted the US team, which is unfair on them. 120 0
Luke @lukeish.bsky.social · 17/05/2026I don't find it odd. They know far right is bad, and if they admit to being far right they admit to what, deep down, they already know about themselves. 110 0
Luke @lukeish.bsky.social · 17/03/2026Got to embrace it. I've started to take great joy in all the whining, because it comes from a place of fear and frustration. Every moan gives me a little bit of schadenfreude; I know how devastated these people are going to be if we win it. 120 0
Luke @lukeish.bsky.social · 01/03/2026Make sure you don't join in the celebrations if we do win something then. 020 0
Luke @lukeish.bsky.social · 01/03/2026Been very illuminating to watch Labour pursue this clearly insane strategy. Alienating your most loyal support while chasing people who will NEVER vote for you. It's so obvious that this is politics by Power Point; strategies based on presentations by agencies rather than any conscious thought. 000 0
Luke @lukeish.bsky.social · 11/02/2026If you're ever struggling to make a decision about anything at all, ask yourself: "What would Jim Ratcliffe do?" And then do the exact opposite of that. 0120 0
Luke @lukeish.bsky.social · 07/02/2026Increasingly, his work has the blandness of a jaded old dude who has nothing left to say and instead focuses on finding ever more ornate ways to dress a word salad. He knows it too. He probably thought he'd be so much more than what he is and ended up adopting this ugly condescension as a defence 000 0
Luke @lukeish.bsky.social · 07/02/2026I'm sure there's a law/rule someone can point to to say why it wasn't a pen. But a clear goal was prevented by someone using their arm, deliberate or not. There was a 100% chance it was a goal if it didn't hit his arm. If that's not a penalty according to the laws, it should be. 040 0
Luke @lukeish.bsky.social · 07/02/2026Why bother explaining when you can just pump out some smug sophistry and insipid patter about dead kids? 110 0
Luke @lukeish.bsky.social · 07/02/2026Fair enough, I will make more of an effort to understand your incoherent ramblings in more detail. And in return you can try not to be a patronising little cunt. However unfortunately I think you will be unsuccessful in that endeavour. 01124 0
Luke @lukeish.bsky.social · 07/02/2026There are some points I agree with in this, however there is no little irony in addressing hypocrisy and whataboutery with a glib article that is mostly comprised of whataboutery. Also, how desensitised you have become about death that you can find a way to banter about it. 1402 0
Luke @lukeish.bsky.social · 06/02/2026A lot of people like to believe in Robert Ludlum novels. A cabal of super-intelligent machiavellian captains of industry pulling the strings as part of a grand plan to keep us mere mortals in check. In reality it's a collection of fortunate morons stumbling from one grift to the next. 000 0

Luke @lukeish.bsky.social · 09/01/2026I certainly wouldn't disagree with that. He needs to improve 000 0
Luke @lukeish.bsky.social · 09/01/2026It's just my personal opinion but I think the truth is somewhere in between with Gyok. He clearly plays in Timberlands and should be doing a lot better. But at the same time, it's not as if we're serving up chance after chance that he's missing. The fault isn't entirely with him 110 0
Luke @lukeish.bsky.social · 09/01/2026Gyok is also basically level with xG in his Arsenal career so far. 5.32 xG, 5 goals in the league. My point is more about the expectation that KH will be somehow transformative, which I'm not sure he will be in terms of chance creation/chance conversion. Don't disagree at all w your broader points 100 0
Luke @lukeish.bsky.social · 09/01/2026Time for him to show he's worth it. Let's set our expectations accordingly now; it's time for him to produce the goods more often. More goals, more assists, more match-winning performances. With that contract, it's the least a big club should expect from one of its best (and best-paid) players. 010 0
Luke @lukeish.bsky.social · 09/01/2026I don't necessarily disagree with the Gyokeres sentiment but a lot of people are forgetting that one of the reasons Gyok was signed was that Havertz kept on missing incredibly easy chances. Quite a lot of rewriting of history going on. 100 0
Luke @lukeish.bsky.social · 01/01/2026Bernardo Silva. Similar build to the person I guess you're alluding to, but is one of the league's best midfielders going back years. 030 0
Luke @lukeish.bsky.social · 21/12/2025That felt unusually morose given we just won for the 4th time in 5 games. I understand the frustrations bt we are top, we're winning almost every game and have only been beaten by a rotten last-minute winner away to a form side & a freak free-kick away to the champs. All this with an injury crisis. 020 0

Luke @lukeish.bsky.social · 14/12/2025Yes, very much so. But it's also a much wider thing that's not just limited to them. People in mid-level and even lower mid-level management often benefit from failing upwards. 010 0
Luke @lukeish.bsky.social · 10/12/2025Sadly, one thing I've learned from years in this kind of environment is that the people who make decisions like this are rarely held accountable for their mistakes. Often, their incompetence simply results in a sideways or upwards move. 2180 0
Luke @lukeish.bsky.social · 10/12/2025I think what Piss is saying is that upper management wants to *produce* stuff like this, and that their own corporate echo chamber means there's no one to tell them how shockingly stupid they are. Knowing numerous people like this, it seems a HIGHLY likely scenario. 1200 0
Luke @lukeish.bsky.social · 07/12/2025Totally get it. It's hard not to jump on that emotional roller coaster but, ultimately, it looks to me like we have the best team and the best squad in the league. As we know from bitter experience, the league is won in feb/march/april, not December. IMO we're the team best set up to last the pace 010 0
Luke @lukeish.bsky.social · 06/12/2025A lot of fans getting too high with the highs and too low with the lows. A tough away game against one of the form teams in Europe after a very tough 2 weeks, and it took a last-minute winner to beat us with a makeshift defence and half the team unfit. And yet, we're still top. These are good times 140 0
