Looking so younger that my age even in my mid-30s is really a big flex apart from disrespect of being taken for a mid-20 dude.
Grateful for this Neanimorphic nature.

This is the same fool here:
Football isnāt just 22 men chasing a ball for 90 minuteā¦..itās the raw, unfiltered blueprint of life itself.
I will keep saying it, the biggest reference to life is football. The wins, the defeats, the goals, the missed chances, itās all mental. Football is the biggest reflection of what life is. If you think life is a cycle, football is a cycle too. If you believe you should never give up because you can still win in the end, thatās life and thatās football.
Football isnāt just a game, itās the raw, unfiltered mirror of existence. Every match is a mini-life: 90 minutes (or 120 if it goes to extra time) of joy, heartbreak, genius, collapse, redemption. You score, you celebrate like youāve conquered the world. You concede, and the world feels like itās caved in. But then you dust yourself off, adjust, and go again. Thatās the cycle. Thatās life.
Every season resets like a fresh chapter, pre-season hype, the grind of the league, the cup runs, the heartbreak on the last day, then the transfer window gives you a chance to rebuild. Just like life: you finish one phase (job, relationship, project), lick your wounds, and gear up for the next. Donāt give up? Thatās the managerās half-time team talk when youāre 2-0 down. The dressing room is silent, but the real ones look each other in the eye and say, āWeāve got 45 minutes to change history.ā Thatās you waking up after a bad week, putting on the boots again, and deciding the story aināt over.
Arsenal came 2nd three times and still came back to win on the fourth attempt. Thatās life. Sometimes you do everything right and still fall short. The job you interviewed for three times and missed. The business idea that flopped twice before it took off. The relationship that taught you lessons the hard way until the right one clicked on attempt number four. You donāt win by never fallingā¦you win by refusing to stay down. Sometimes growth is painful and invisible before it finally becomes success. The world only celebrates the trophy, but they forget the years of failure, ridicule, pressure and rebuilding that came before it.
Football teaches patience. It teaches that talent alone is not enough, mentality matters more than people admit. One mistake can cost everything, but one moment of belief can change everything too. A player can miss ten chances and still score the winner in the 90th minute. Thatās life. You fail exams, lose opportunities, go through heartbreak, doubt yourself, but the game is not over because one season went bad.
One bad game doesnāt define the season. One bad season doesnāt define the career. Lifeās the same: that failure at 25 isnāt the final whistle; itās just extra time waiting for your winner. Football shows us the beauty of the collective to 11 players, one goal, trusting the system even when it looks broken. In life, itās your circle, your family, your grind partners holding you up when your legs are gone.
And the beautiful thing about football is that nothing stays permanent. Big clubs fall. Small clubs rise. Legends age. Young players become stars. One season youāre broken, next season youāre champions. That cycle is exactly how life works. You just have to stay in the game long enough for your moment to come.
Thatās why people connect so deeply to football. Itās more than sport. Itās hope, suffering, resilience, belief and redemption compressed into 90 minutes.
Football is lifeās greatest mirror: messy, dramatic, unfair at times, but always rewarding the ones who stay mentally unbreakable. The ones who believe that even at 89 minutes down by one, a moment of magic can still happen.
Thank you Universe for the gift of Football.
šØšØš£ļø Wayne Rooney on West Ham United vs Arsenal Game: š¤Æ
āPeople keep talking about individuals, moments, luck, referees and all the rest of it, but when I watch Arsenal, I see a proper football team. I see a side that is coached at the very highest level. Honestly, if you donāt rate this Arsenal team or you canāt understand the level of football theyāre playing, then Iām sorry, you simply do not know football. And Iām saying that as someone whoās played the game at the top level for years.
This Arsenal side are unbelievable. Absolutely unbelievable. They are so compact, so organised, so disciplined in everything they do. There are no gaps, no panic, no unnecessary risks. Every single player understands his role. When you watch them, you almost donāt even see individuals anymore, you see a programme. You see a machine. Everything is synchronised. It takes a very high football IQ and tactical understanding to truly appreciate the level this team operates at.
People will watch them and say ātheyāre boringā or ātheyāre roboticā, but do you know what I call it? Elite. I call it winning football. I call it a team that knows exactly who they are. Thereās a reason they leave no lapses for opponents. Thereās a reason teams struggle to break them down. Thereās a reason they control matches the way they do. That doesnāt happen by accident.
I backed Arsenal from the very beginning of the season to win this league and people laughed at me. People told me City would walk it, people said Arsenal would bottle it again, but look where we are now. Two games left and Arsenal are on the verge of becoming champions. And honestly, Iām delighted for them because they deserve it.
The fans deserve it as well. Arsenal supporters have waited a long, long time for this feeling. Theyāve gone through years of frustration, banter, disappointment, nearly moments, false dawns, all of it. But they stayed patient. They kept believing in the club, believing in the process, believing in the manager and the players. Now theyāre finally about to get rewarded for that patience.
I think Mikel Arteta deserves enormous credit because what heās built is not just a good side, itās a culture. Thereās standards there now. Serious standards. Every player fights for each other, every player works, every player sacrifices. Thatās why theyāre champions in my eyes.
And Iāll say this as a Manchester United man, this is the level I want Manchester United to get back to. This is the standard. Watching Arsenal now reminds me of what elite football clubs should look like. The control, the hunger, the mentality, the structure. When you get to this level, football becomes enjoyable again for the fans because they trust their team completely.
Arsenal fans can finally smile again because this team has given them something to be proud of. And I genuinely believe this is only the beginning for them. I think theyāre going to do great things over the next few years.
So to everyone who laughed at my prediction earlier in the season, youāre not laughing now. Maybe itās time people start respecting this Arsenal side properly because what theyāre doing is special.ā
@Buchi_Laba Mikel is an e-diot normally. I don't rate that age fraud. His mate (Leo Measi) is still playing active football. Mikel turn himself into a Mickey mouse pundit
This Mikel Obi na cry cry baby.
Arsenal is not playing to entertain you cry cry baby. Tell your team to entertain you. Out only mission is to get that 3points.. Mission accomplished!!!
More tears for you na
