Yeah… this is the lowest point the Premier League has ever been.
Tonight, the PFA just lost all its relevance and credibility.
Giving Bruno Fernandes the PFA POTY award is practically the lowest point the Premier League has ever seen.
This award used to be reserved for great players who led their teams to titles, but they’ve now decided to give it to one of the worst team players in football.
There was a December 2024 article on @TheAthleticFC that laid out Pep Guardiola’s obsession with football.
The article started this way:
“Pep Guardiola’s list of symptoms is long and unsettling. He has trouble sleeping. He can only take light meals in the evening. On some days, he does not eat at all. He finds it difficult to read because his mind keeps wandering. He feels, at times, intensely lonely. Things can get so bad that they begin to take on a physical form: bouts of back pain, breakouts on his skin.
“They are not isolated to moments like the one in which the Manchester City manager finds himself trapped, when his team are locked in a tailspin he has spent the better part of two months trying and failing to halt. By his own admission, he is always like that. Guardiola cannot sleep, or eat, or relax even when things are going well at work.
“Manel Estiarte, perhaps Guardiola’s most trusted confidant, used to call it the “Law of 32 minutes”. Estiarte had spent enough time with Guardiola to calculate precisely how long his friend might last talking about another subject — literally any other subject — before his mind wandered back to football.”
He told his friend, Luca Toni that he no longer digests food properly and revealed how lonely he becomes after games.
Coaching is strenuous. It’s extremely stressful. You have long shifts. Guardiola said he resumes 8a.m everyday. I once read that Emery did 7a.m-7p.m when he wanted results to improve at Villa.
The main issue is that Guardiola and others like him who’re obsessed with anything aren’t able to stay away from it for too long.
Something must give. He’s made a hell lot of money. He’s famous, and is generation-defining, but all that never come for free.
Broken body, broken heart, broken home. I call it the torture of triumph.
You’re victorious yet you’re deeply vacuous — shorn of yourself in pursuit of essence.
That’s the life.
Win, lose or draw. The Lions faithful with a rendition of home despite the 3-1 first leg loss.
The home support has been really heartening to see and hear today. Chants of “Singapura” as well rang out after this.
Tickets sold out in less than 10 minutes, 90% to scalpers and I assume 10% went to the VIP and Team Nila. Ardent fans that supported the team through thick and thin to get them to the semis won’t be getting tickets, cheers FAS and that stupid Malaysian ticketing platform.
Joakim Gomez said his country comes first before anything else.
So will I see him supporting the local football scene? Or will the rambling on about Man United continue
Said this for a long time. Tiny Singapore, small population, small football ecosystem but continues to compete with bigger nations in our region. It’s a great story. Similar to our nation’s overall story. We have imperfections for sure, but there’s something in our general DNA
