All I can say about yesterday is that it was better than the alternative, a point is better than none. I was never overly confident tbh! And to think I missed us beating them in October as I was away… maybe the answer is for me not to watch?!

Anyway onwards and upwards, cancelled usual Wednesday night plans to drool over Rob even though I want him to be sad

All good thank you ❤ I changed jobs and moved house and have only had time for lurking but hopefully will be posting more regularly again so you have someone on here who gets it 🤣

Thats a good theory! I think he styles it like that because it’s quite a common hairstyle for men in Mediterranean countries, so I think he believes it looks good 🥺 When I was doing some stalking a while back..ahem I mean researching, I found an old Q&A he did when he was managing Valencia and although I can’t find the website link for the life of me, I took a screenshot. Basically it’s his ex wife we have to thank for the hair, she must have been trying to make other women find him unattractive cos there’s no other explanation for it 🤣

Oh my god, thank you, this is GOLD! 😍

Haha, I always wondered who the culprit was who’d introduced him to gel, can’t say I blame her (although that plan clearly did not work 🙃).

Love the stuff about him being a rocker too, although his liking of U2 knocks half a point off for me (a while back I found a Spotify playlist he made for a PSG promo: mainly Spanish stuff with a couple of U2 & Coldplay tracks on it… at least one was one of the few U2 songs I like I guess…), BUT him mentioning The Pixies has added two points so the wedding is back on 🤣 His (older?) brother was in quite a big punk band in their region, so I love the thought of him bouncing around/stood at the back awkwardly at gigs 😍

I’m so glad you’re back! Hope the move and job change went well, why have one massive stress when you can have two 😅

Who is that big stupid lump who plays for them with the long blonde hair? He’s Sunday league at best.

Can you & Roy Keane knock the Erling slander on on the head until Thursday please, you’re going to aggravate him and he’ll slot 5 past Emi in the first 45 😩

Something is off with Haaland at the moment as his body language is very negative as to me it comes across that he isn't interested and seems to spend more time moaning, he doesn't look fit as he seems be playing with an injury and he is missing a lot more chances than last season.

I think the issue with Haaland is the expectations are so high after his first season, if he doesn’t reach those standards every year then it’s almost like a disappointment even though it’s not realistic. He has also been injured for a while like you said so is probably still trying to find form but yeah he hasn’t been great in recent weeks.

It also doesn’t help that he comes across as a right miserable brat!

Looking at the fixtures, with the kick off times Wednesday night could well be the last time we see Luton and Rob live in the premier league 😱🫣

He definitely seems a bit off and nowhere near his levels from last season. There’s a lot of pressure on him too compared to someone like Bellingham at Madrid who is obviously having an insane season numbers wise but going forward in upcoming seasons he has no pressure on him to replicate those numbers considering he’s a midfielder and not a forward. Whereas everyone expects Haaland to score 30+ goals every season.

City are still an amazing team but nowhere near what they were this time last year, I think losing Gundogan has had a massive impact.
 
If De Zerbi ends up leaving Brighton this Summer,it wouldn't surprise me if Rob was in the frame for the job.He is clearly a really hot talented manager and I do think he'll be snapped up by another PL team at some point.

Both teams played crap.... Arsenal parked the bus they played for a draw we didn't create enough. Also those slagging Haaland off can I remind them he is still the top scorer this season even after being out for 2 months 🙄🙄. Also says a lot when arsenal celebrate the draw and city are angry with it 😏 levels 👍🏼

True.The fact that Arsenal just seemed content not to lose is insane to me.City were no better.Golden opportunity for both sides squandered.

I’d characterise his music taste as ‘dad music’ 🤣

Thanks to a combination of crappy ex boyfriends and intense celebrity crushes, I have FBI level stalking skills and I found this article where he talks about meeting his (ex) wife, his cooking skills and whether he thinks he’s good looking (he doesn’t 💔🥺) https://www.lasprovincias.es/valenc...valencia/mujer-dice-estoy-guapo-20081013.html He used to give interesting interviews when he was younger but now it’s mostly PR and rehearsed answers.

I just realised Villa will probably decide the title race. They have Liverpool at home and City and Arsenal away. Unai will be desperate for a result at the Emirates 👀 let’s hope for his sake he stays away from any white witches because that’s what he blamed his Arsenal end of season collapse on 😭

Spurs still have to play all 3 top teams as well so will potentially come down to who wins/loses those games 😭

Watchng Leeds and i was thinking, do you think Kalvin Phillips absolutely regrets leaving Leeds? He has gone from being a really rated player to everyone laughing at him and Moyes telling people he needs support.
Feel a bit sorry for him.

I genuinely feel sorry for him.He is a decent player who's been turned into a bit of a punchline.I hope he finds his feet at West Ham,it feels like a better fit for him than City.
 
I have a soft spot for Leeds from my teenage years - stepdad and brother support them (we are originally from W.Yorkshire, all born there) and I used to love Harry Kewell (met him a few times as a heart eyed 14 year old 😂) so I like to keep an eye on them. Several Leeds fans on Twitter say they find the Phillips stuff sad and would have him back in a heartbeat, some think he’s a ‘traitor’ for talking to city 3 months before being relegated. I wonder if he would go back?
