Both Rice and Anderson were excellent yesterday.
I don’t know if the English have the worst football knowledge around or fan bases just like throwing shit against players from other teams, but I constantly see the most incorrect opinions about how English players performed for the NT.
“Giving children their childhood back?”
So reopening the 2,000 youth clubs closed under neoliberalism? The 1,000 children’s centres?
Recreating the 10,000 + playing fields lost?
Or the 800 playgrounds lost in the last 10 years?
The 1,000 libraries?
The after-school clubs closed?
Starmer: We want to digitally ID everyone who uses social media
Brits: Absolutely Not!
Starmer: OK then, we want to ban under 16s from social media (by digitally ID-ing everyone)
Brits: OMG that’s a great idea. Idk what idiot would be against that 🥴
🚨 Pep Guardiola: “What is Barça missing to win the Champions League? The Champions League is a competition that DESTROYS projects, and I hope that’s not the case at Barça”.
“We must not think that just because you don’t win it, everything that has been built is no good. The league is the competition that gives you consistency and continuity. In the Champions League, you need to reach the decisive stages in good condition, without injuries, and refereeing also has a huge impact”.
“What matters is that the daily work is excellent, that the team keeps growing and improving, and that they don’t believe the season is a failure just because they don’t reach the Champions League final or win it. The league is what sets the foundation for judging whether a season has been good or not”.
Arsenal won the league and lost the Champions League on penalties. They are getting clowned more than United did for finishing 15th and losing a Europa League final against Spurs.
Arsenal's fan base have historically been the biggest meltdown merchants in the Premier League, no question.
An unlucky defeat, a well-fought draw... chaos.
But my word, the meltdown from outside Arsenal at their title win: Generational.
Simply lovely.
