Anthony Joshua tried speaking English to Kylian Mbappé, but Mbappé was struggling to understand him. 😭 AJ had to ask Thierry Henry to translate, “I’m a big fan of you and I love using you on FIFA.” Henry looked at Mbappé and joked, “He said you’re rubbish and useless.” 😂
@ZTNPrime Pathetic this ....worse you see the 'thug' putting on number 97 harassing the Ref and you wonder if there are any consequences for such behaviour in this your league 🤔
🗣️ Franck Ribéry: “I slapped Dani Carvajal because of an argument over the ball, but after that, Sergio Ramos and Pepe started AGGRESSIVELY chasing me.
They were giving me looks as if they wanted to FINISH me every time I touched the ball.
The match at that time started to feel like a survival battle for me. Pepe was targeting me, not the ball.”
🗣️ Harry Redknapp: “I bought Carl for £10,000, went to pick him up from Enfield and while he went in to say goodbye to his manager, he left me with his mate.”
“‘What are you signing him for?’ said this kid. ‘I’m 10 times better than him. I’ve got 26 goals this season, he’s only got 12. I’m different class than him. Why don’t you sign me?”
“I was worried. ‘I can’t buy you, I’m buying him,’ I told Carl’s mate, ‘but I’ll keep an eye out for you, don’t worry.”
“So we took Carl and he was absolutely useless. He could run, but that was about it. We played about six games, but couldn’t win one. Carl was terrible.”
“After about four games of this, he came to see me. ‘I’ve got a mate,’ he said. ‘He was asking if he could have a trial. He’s a striker, like me.’
“‘And is he as good as you, Carl?’ I asked, suspiciously. ‘No, he’s not as good as me,’ he said, ‘but he’s decent.’
“‘Well, tell him not to f***ing bother then,’ I snapped, and that was the end of it.”
“The following Saturday, we went to play Crystal Palace. ‘My mate, the one who wanted a trial, he’s playing for Palace today,’ said Carl. ‘Oh good,’ I thought. ‘No problem there then.”
“Anyway, three goals later I realized Carl wasn’t much of a scout, either. His mate’s name? Ian Wright, who went on to score 238 league goals.”
It is because there is no collective consciousness around an ideological position, instead, people are centred around personalities, from the days of vaMugabe Chete Chete to this very day!
A society that defends political personalities rather than a cause will remain stagnant because it becomes a crime to critique leadership decisions.
If you focus on a cause, individuals become dispensable if they are an impediment to achieving that cause!
When people become too attached to individual leaders and their personalities, it leads to blind loyalty and a failure to hold those leaders accountable for their actions.
This is problematic in political contexts, where leaders then use their charisma and popularity to consolidate power and suppress dissent while delivering nothing.
By contrast, when people are focused on a cause or a set of principles, they hold their leaders to a higher standard and demand that they take actions consistent with those principles.
In this way, individuals become replaceable if they are not advancing the cause, while the cause itself remains constant and enduring.
Individual personality politics is what is driving the Third Term agenda.
If you ask ZANUPF supporters why they want Mnangagwa to have a Third Term, they don’t have a reason linked to a cause, it is all about personality politics.
But if ZANUPF politics were linked to a national cause focused on delivery, they wouldn’t have given him even a second term!
This is why you hear less about issues in opposition politics and more about leadership bootlicking driven by sycophancy.
There are no debates around what has been delivered, what has failed to be delivered, and why it hasn’t been delivered!
Serious people in any society should not shape their ideas based on sycophantic behaviour, even if you are left alone in pushing what is right, do so.
Having loads of people coalesce around failed politics won’t change the fact that it is failed politics!
