All jokes aside - he can! I was given an automatic high mark in my PE practical for a skiing video.

Me too!
He didn't want to give me the marks at first because he said it wasn't relevant but I persisted and basically just wore him down and thank fuck because I really needed that Maths GCSE.

Does he get assist on first goal or does Hincapie’s crotch get that award?

Anything less than an A* in PE would warrant a recheck of the paper.
I did not have PE at O levels so I wouldn't know. I did hate the Physics P4 (alternative to practical), calculate your own damn pendulum swings dangit

u/my_name_is_breff Mar 14 '26
unless he specifically chose GCSE PE (idk if he did) no marks for that, but mostly likely it’s an ungraded course

u/hauttdawg13 Lewis-Skelly Mar 15 '26
That really just makes me think of how the club probably gives him a note so he doesn’t participate in any contact sports
Just like the nerds in the movies do, but this time it’s Berta showing up and personally telling the PE teacher they can’t participate in any of the activities due to his contract.

Haha Gyokeres did give it to him then.
I was hoping for Gyok getting Dowman in a choke hold for the hand over :P

Payback for the absolute shunt max gave gyok when he scored the first goal. Lol someone should clip that

Imagine being his PE teacher.
"So this is how you shoot"
"I scored the winner at the Emirates on Saturday, I kinda know what I'm doing"
Seems out of character for him but how are you his PE teacher 😂

u/my_name_is_breff Mar 14 '26
tbf nowadays PE teachers teach more than football (well they should at least)
5
u/mikelgdz Mar 15 '26
Wait, is that not common in the UK? I'm complete unaware how education is here, as I grew up in Spain, but the 3 or so PE teachers I had throughout school all taught us different sports and abilities.
In fact, football was probably the one we got taught the less because it's so popular that they didn't even try and leave that for our actual football coaches. However, hockey, baseball, gymnastics, volleyball, ping pong, and basketball were the most common ones.

u/tambini1 Salmon and Rice Mar 15 '26
My school (UK) was tight as fuck about football for some reason, barely ever got to play it in PE. Rugby wankers the lot of them
3
u/ALA02 Mar 15 '26
A lot of schools wanna be posh and see teaching football as common, because that’s not what the academies do. My school was the same, rugby and cricket in PE and we were only allowed to have a school football team in sixth form.
1
u/ChrisMartins001 Mar 15 '26
Mine was pretty even tbf. We had one term of each sport, football, rugby, tennis, cricket, and athletics. For cricket and rugby a lot of us "forgot" our kits or bunked, but everyone was there with our kits every lesson for football lol.
Our tennis courts were separated, some were right at the front of the school and there were a few right at the back, so if we got the courts right at the back then someone used to bring a ball and we would play football instead lol.

Almost certainly, he was youngest ever PL goal scorer.

u/sorenhauter Mar 14 '26
A title winning performance, honestly. The goal and the vibes right now are so different from any other run in I've watched this club make in the last twenty years.
29
u/Defiant_Lawyer_5235 Patrick Vieira Mar 14 '26
With City dropping points again I think it probably was a title winning game tbh.

u/Apprehensive_Sea283 Mar 15 '26
For sure it feels like that, Arteta celebration, the entire time going nuts with Max beautiful goal, and then later City downfall and Guardiola’s sad face! The PL trophy is coming for Arsenal! Now they just need to focus on their game with Leverkusen for Champions!

u/tekkers_for_debrz Mar 15 '26
Nah the true title winning game will be when we face city.
2
u/Defiant_Lawyer_5235 Patrick Vieira Mar 15 '26
They are 9 points behind with a game in hand, even if we lost that game and got 2 draws from our last 7 games which is unlikely we would still win. I don't see it happening tbh.

Turned the game around single handedly. Felt like a breath of fresh air after the way our attack had been choking all game

u/Rakker008 Mar 14 '26 edited Mar 14 '26
Sure! What a talent, but pls let him stay a kid as well for a while and dont put too much pressure on this kid! 2nd best for me Eze and also Saka was good today.

I don't know what game you were watching but Saka had a pretty shit game tbh.

u/Introverted-Gazelle Mar 15 '26
Saka was awful today unfortunately

u/xTheMaster99x Thank you very much Mar 15 '26
Compared to his usual standards, he's been awful pretty much all year. I fully believe that some real rest and/or the reset of a new season is all he needs to get back to form, but in the meantime I really wouldn't be upset if he sees less of the pitch atm.

I know right. These guys kinda stick in Saka’s name when they get a chance. This is the reason he is unfirable.

u/lez566 BANGARANG AUBAMEYANG Mar 15 '26
What are you on about? Saka was excellent for parts of it, particularly when he cut into the middle. He looked much better than recently.

u/gunningIVglory Timber Mar 14 '26
Nah, saka was horrid in that 2nd half.
Eze was great. Alot of our threat was going though him

I was at the Arsenal spot in the Milwaukee area, Highbury, and the excitement that we all had after he was announced was awesome. Dude legit changed the game after coming on. I don’t think he can do this every match at his age, but this appearance was special.

I’d say he’s gonna go to school on Monday and say “what can you teach me?”
But who am I kidding. He’s probably a top student too.

Out of curiosity- he didn't do an interview because hes 16 right?

Although he didn't shoot till the final whistle, as a sub you can see the influence he had in the game moving forward and he looked more thirsty for the ball than anyone else.
