Ronaldo announced his firm desire to leave United for a UCL side and every side he was linked to denied any interest in him, whilst United have also looked better without him. Funny.
Don't think people understand the gravity of what Gundogan's done for City honestly. Statue legacy. So many of the club's biggest and most historic moments paired with seasons of serious consistency.
Captain's brace in a 2-1 win against United in the FA Cup final is the stuff of
KSI's legacy is one of, if not the greatest of the social media era. He had a hold on the UK's culture over a decade ago and still does. This event (and almost all of those part of it) were inspired by, worked with, or given opportunities by his platform. No YouTuber comes close.
Messi is not real. He’s an alien because after decades, he’s still doing things that make me wonder how.
That first pass? How has he seen and played that? Alien.
Chelsea will spend like 400m and their team will look like they need to spend 400m more so Chelsea will spend like 400m and their team will look like they need to spend 400m more so
Umir’s parents must be so disappointed in him, instead of bragging that their son is a doctor they tell their family he sits in his room on zoom calls discussing Iwobi

@TrueGeordietg
being islamophobic and perpetuating harmful stereotypes on a public platform and laughing about it is completely ridiculous especially for someone with a platform as big as his. Anyone saying anything like this shouldn't be representing the scene.
Started following the Man City photographers recently.
They’re immense. Genuinely really good at what they do.
There’s something unique in their photos, rather than just looking like a stack of stock photos. Might thread some of my favourites.
Been a KSI fan for the longest but so weird for him to say 'paki' in the latest Sidemen vid even if they bleeped it & it was 'in jest' for content
Other racial slurs wouldn't be used as punchlines for YouTube gameshows. Just makes light of the word + certain people's experience.
Foden doesn't belong here. He's dead last. Musiala is a much better version of him. Pedri is Iniesta + Xavi. Bellingham is Bellingham.
Camavinga is who deserves to be here.
Here’s a stat for you:
Burnley completed 301 passes in the first half vs Huddersfield today. They only completed more than 300 passes in 2 FULL Premier League games last season.

What’s the issue with a club building community through allowing hard working staff and local fans the chance to pray? Sounds unproblematic.
The one on the pitch is the Eid prayer (twice a year) a congregation of celebration with families of the community.
What’s the problem?
Thing is, I think even after Ronaldo's interview the majority probably side with ten Hag and the club over Cristiano and I'm not sure Cristiano realises that.
There's a disconnect in how good Ronaldo thinks he still is and how good the club and many football fans think he is.
The biggest clubs on the planet were willing to pay 100m for Gvardiol — conversations put him as the best young defender on Earth and a 35 year old Messi breezes past him like the countless legends he's made a mockery of over his career. Great positioning and goal by Alvarez.
I now understand the massive gap between how fans perceive what is decently good versus what is actually good in an absolute measure of goodness.
There is very little here that Foden does that Michael Olise or Dejan Kulusevski don't do with their eyes closed.

• Mosques are places of worship but where you pray doesn’t have to be a mosque.
• Eid is a religious holiday. A footy kit is hardly the outfit for a religious celebration.
• Men and women pray in separate congregations, you’re seeing a photo of the men’s side
• Two prayers a
Vincius doesn't have to apologise for a single thing. Good guy, lovely player.
La Liga, a disgrace. The product is unserious.
The fans up and down the league, a disgrace.
The teammates (and opposition players) who have continually not defended Vinicius enough, disgrace.
Erling Haaland's probably one of the three fakest footballers I've ever seen. Enjoy your Premier League record. That is absolutely not normal and the fact people pretend like it is - is a testament to how he normalises alien things.
Imagine it was Ronaldo narratives are boring as 1) we don’t need to imagine, Ronaldo’s done things like that forever and 2) it ignores context.
What Messi did was mostly in retaliation to Dutch provocation and he’s mostly held himself in good esteem for 20 years. Not that deep.
Something so dystopian about an official state account tweeting all blasé and goofy like a stan account in the midst of such a great atrocity for PR points.

The quotes from the Netherlands camp were big and reckless pre-game so you know what, let Argentina talk their talk back. I like all of that.
All’s fair in love and war, is appropriate at the World Cup and especially so when it’s in response to the disrespect 🤫
Ten Hag isn’t the next Guardiola — ten Hag isn’t the next Jose, van Gaal, or Ole. Ten Hag is one of one with a philosophy that possesses both positional and anti-positional principles.
about ten Hag's unique philosophy and positional play vs freedom:
'When the roar of thousands becomes a silence only broken by the ringing of his own ears, Messi can rest knowing he has completed the beautiful game.'
about Messi's coronation, the World Cup win, his continual reinvention and GOAT status.
Messi is the best. Maradona second.
But ideologically, Neymar played football the most correct way of anybody to me.
Enough expression to feel human but with alien effectiveness to sit alongside Messi.
The little kid that dreams to be a footballer grows up to be Neymar.
The FA concluding someone who said these things 'is not a conscious racist' is a disgrace
If the gov body of English Football can describe these comments as 'Yems' 'banter'' & agree that he didn't 'intend to make racist remarks' — despite repeat offensives, it reflects terribly.
The FA has revealed a string of offensive racial remarks by John Yems but still concluded that the former Crawley manager is "not a conscious racist".
Warning: The below copy contains language of a racist and discriminatory nature.
If you deep what Gundogan can do, it’s pushing unfathomable. Played lone 6 for a possession side that won 13 in a row. Has played Xavi-like in role and style under Pep whilst being able to attack the box and score like a Lampard. Played in both a Klopp and Pep midfield too.

Jose Mourinho: "My philosophy will never change. My center backs can come from anywhere and my midfielders also. But my main striker should be of African origin, that is my lucky charm to win titles. This is why I pushed for young Tammy Abraham to come join me. If you remember
