    Idk if there’s a better way to get him game time than what Arteta is doing atm. He’s subbed in in most games (City and one of the recent games being an obvious exception) and starting cup games. Maybe securing CL knockouts or seeing out games early will do him good. I personally don’t count the end of last season for obvious reasons

      No disrespect but it’s not your career. ESR probably does count the end of last season and is dying to be involved more.

        The minute you see an academic step with authority off the plank of their expertise-- get the popcorn.

        It’s got relatively little to do with smart, and more to do with intellectual humility as a kind of situational awareness: supposed to beaten into everyone at the undergraduate level, or at least by a graduate supervisor, but occasionally forgotten by those who get positions and a little taste of fame.

        Chomsky the linguist was a major contributor; Chomsky the political commentator has all the intellectual rigour of rice pudding.
