I stayed at a friend’s house last night and almost left in the middle of the night. 😭
She invited me over for dinner and a sleepover since it had been forever since we’d had a night like that. She warned me the guest room was a little dusty because no one had used it in ages.
Fine.
But when I moved the bed to put on the sheets… I FOUND THIS. 😭
How long had she not checked this room for a whole new life to be growing in there?!
A plumber came to fix my toilet, and I’ve been looking for him for the past few minutes… only to find him outside like this
Anyone know what’s wrong with him? 😭
🚨🎙️ Erling Haaland on the conversation he had with Reuben Diaz after the match yesterday:
🗣️ “Rumours going on that we spoke about what is going on in the club? — It’s normal for people to assume and make a case interesting but we have phones to chat about those kind of things, not in public where people can read our lips.”
My cinnamon raisin bread dough is absolutely out of control right now 😭🍞✨ She’s rising, thriving, doing the absolute most… and honestly I’ve never been prouder 🥹
🚨🗣️ Thibaut Courtois on Vinícius Jr. being frustrated after being substituted:
“I spoke to him later and simply told him to chill out. We lost another game, not the race. Everyone is frustrated, but we cannot allow one defeat to turn into something bigger. The season is still long.”
“I told him we cannot let this become another Xabi Alonso situation, because if the manager loses control of the dressing room, then we have a much bigger problem. At this moment, I don’t see a better manager out there to come and magically fix everything.”
🗣️ “Jose is a very smart coach and he could turn a mess around, but that’s exactly why we need to be careful. When players start showing frustration publicly, other players can lose respect for the manager, and suddenly the dressing room becomes divided.”
“All I told Vini was simple: stay calm and don’t start the same mess we put ourselves in last season. We’ve already learned how quickly things can fall apart. We cannot be the ones creating the next problem ourselves.”
🚨🎙️ Jurgen Klopp on Xabi Alonso’s problem at Chelsea:
🗣️ “The problem with Xabi, sometimes I think he believes he’s still at German league or whatsoever. I watched Chelsea tonight and, in the first half, I was actually a bit impressed with the defence.”
🗣️ “You cannot simply take the same style that won you the league in Germany and expect it to work exactly the same way in the Premier League. Three at the back with inexperienced defenders is a big risk in this league.”
🗣️ “The Premier League will punish you very quickly if your structure is not right. You can have a brilliant idea, but if the players cannot execute it under pressure, the idea becomes your biggest weakness.”
🗣️ “Xabi is a very good coach, but he needs to understand that what worked before might not keep working forever. Sometimes you have to forget what made you successful yesterday and find something that works today.”
🗣️ “Chelsea are in a mess right now, and the sooner he finds a solution, the better. Because if he keeps forcing the same system, he should know the Chelsea board by now of course.”
🚨🔵 Thierry Henry on Emi Martínez’s form at Chelsea:
🗣️ “Watch closely and you’ll see he’s still the same Martínez. A bad defense will always make a good goalkeeper look really bad, and I think that’s what is happening here.”
“We’ve seen him perform at the highest level before, so I wouldn’t suddenly forget the goalkeeper he is just because the team in front of him is struggling.”
🗣️ “He was once considered one of the best goalkeepers in the world, but football can be cruel.
🗣️ “If Chelsea don’t fix the defense around him, he could finish his career with a much worse reputation than his actual ability deserves. That would be a shame.”
🚨🗣️ Jose Mourinho: “I spoke to Xabi before he joined Chelsea. Three at the back plan wouldn’t really work in the premier league with young inexperienced players.”
