Observations, frustrations, and things that shouldn’t annoy me but do.

[Frustrated Human @FrustrateHuman]

UK rap has spoken about suicide, depression and mental health for years.

🧵 A few powerful messages from UK rap artists:

• Dave – Psycho (2019)
"Suicide doesn't stop the pain, it passes it on to others."

• Dave – Heart Attack (2021)
Pain and trauma don't disappear by ignoring them. They have to be faced.

• Dave – My 19th Birthday (2017)
Success means very little if you're losing the battle in your own mind.

• Mic Righteous – Pathways (2018)
No matter how dark life gets, there is always another path forward.

• Mic Righteous – You Remind Me (2018)
Sometimes the people around us become the reason we keep going.

• Mic Righteous – Ghost Town (2018)
Feeling lost doesn't mean you're beyond saving.

• Mic Righteous – Fire In The Booth Part 4 (2018)
The strongest people are often fighting battles nobody can see.

• Mic Righteous – Fire In The Booth Part 5 (2020)
Speaking about your struggles is strength, not weakness.

• Mic Righteous – Dreamland (2017)
Escaping pain isn't the answer. Working through it is.

• Mic Righteous – I'm Fine (2023)
The words "I'm fine" often hide what people are really going through.

• Lowkey – Dear England (2011)
Pain can be understood without letting it define you.

• Akala – Find No Enemy (2010)
The biggest battles are often the ones within ourselves.

One thing UK rap has consistently reminded people:

You can survive chapters of your life that once felt impossible to get through.

@RMadridInfo €150m probably doesn't even get you to the negotiating table for Yamal. 😭

Haaland, Pedri and Olise would likely cost well north of that too. The others? Maybe. But those four feel like "not for sale" territory unless the numbers become absolutely ridiculous.

[Frustrated Human @FrustrateHuman]

@FabrizioRomano The more Bayern keep telling people not to bother bidding for Olise, the more convinced everyone becomes that Real Madrid are going to keep trying 😭

That said, if I was Bayern, I'd be doing everything possible to keep him too.

[Frustrated Human @FrustrateHuman]

Why does my brain remember a random conversation from 12 years ago but refuse to remember why I walked into this room?

[Frustrated Human @FrustrateHuman]

@tyrone_forest @FabrizioRomano Exactly. 👏

When a midfielder is leading the league in both defensive and possession-based metrics at the same time, it's usually a sign you're looking at a special player. Those numbers are ridiculous for someone his age.

[Frustrated Human @FrustrateHuman]

@OneFootball Of course it was Cristiano Ronaldo 😭🐐

If you're only going to concede one World Cup hat-trick in your entire history, conceding it to one of the greatest big-game players football has ever seen is about as respectable as it gets.

[Frustrated Human @FrustrateHuman]

@OptaJoe Plenty of players have scored at World Cups.

Only one has scored at five different editions across a 16-year span. 🐐🇵🇹

Some records are about quality. This one is about quality, longevity and showing up on the biggest stage again and again.

[Frustrated Human @FrustrateHuman]

Mbappé for certain.

He's already on 12, he's years younger, and realistically has multiple World Cups left after this one. I wouldn't even be surprised if he ends up setting a record that nobody gets close to for a very long time.

As for who does it first this summer... I don't think Messi breaks it at all. 👀

[Frustrated Human @FrustrateHuman]

@FIFAWorldCup 4 World Cup final goals by the age of 23. 😭

Haters will tell you he's finished, overrated, or not living up to expectations, meanwhile he's already put up numbers on football's biggest stage that most legends never reached.

[Frustrated Human @FrustrateHuman]

Nothing ages you faster than hearing someone say "Can I just ask you a quick question?" and knowing your next 20 minutes are gone.

[Frustrated Human @FrustrateHuman]

@FabrizioRomano Okay guys, you got me 😭

Mbappé has won a lot, but he definitely hasn't won the Champions League. Consider it a test to see who was actually reading the tweet... and thankfully some of you passed.

For the record, I'm not a bot. Just a human typing faster than he's thinking. 🤝

[Frustrated Human @FrustrateHuman]

To be fair, he's got a point.

A World Cup winner at 19, World Cup Golden Boot winner at 23, multiple league titles, Champions League winner, Pichichi winner and already one of the highest scorers in international football history... and he's still only 27.

Most players would retire with that résumé. 😭

[Frustrated Human @FrustrateHuman]

Why does every meeting start 5 minutes late and end 15 minutes late? We invented clocks centuries ago. What are we doing?

[Frustrated Human @FrustrateHuman]

@octav10rivero @TeamCRonaldo That's a fair point to be honest.

The comparison is probably more about what happened after they left than trying to credit or blame either player. Football is rarely that simple, clubs go through cycles, and a lot of factors influence what happens next.

[Frustrated Human @FrustrateHuman]

@footballontnt France really looked at the rest of the world and said, "good luck dealing with these two." 😭🇫🇷

Nearly 100 goal contributions between them this season and both heading into the World Cup full of confidence.

[Frustrated Human @FrustrateHuman]

@JasonVaughan32 @FabrizioRomano To be fair, release clauses are rarely secret. Agents, clubs and journalists usually know about them long before a transfer becomes public.

Whether people like it or not, that's pretty much how modern transfers work these days.

[Frustrated Human @FrustrateHuman]

@OptaJoe @FIFAWorldCup Scoring in five different World Cups is one thing.

Being the only player in history to do it is another. Records come and go, but this one feels like it could stand for a very long time. 🐐🇵🇹

[Frustrated Human @FrustrateHuman]

@LaLiga It's crazy looking back now and realising we got to watch Messi, Suárez and Neymar in the same front three.

That attack genuinely felt like something from a video game. 🇧🇷🔥
