I saw a Simpsons/football crossover meme with Kevin de Bruyne playing the Frank Grimes role to Maguire’s Homer Simpson ‘You’ve been to space? You?’ ‘You’ve never been?’ De Bruyne’s never got that particular award, which strikes me as mental. I’m close to the biggest advocate for the Maguire redemption arc there is, on a personal level I feel the shit he took crossed way, way into the line of unreasonable. He seems a good lad and he’s been a good player so I do want him to succeed against that vitriol. Player of the month though? Fuck off. He’s been decent but not faultless, a heroic goal here or there doesn’t really change that. Ten Haag manager of the month for consistently underwhelming performances, albeit with a decent points haul? Madness! Player of the month absolutely makes sense to me, bloke hits form and has the best spell. Management is more of a long-term thing so I’ve always found it weird that this award even exists. From recent memory, and I’m sure there’s more but I think Nuno Espírito Santo was unemployed a month after being manager of the month | ||

Loved the Homer vs Grimes reference :D I'm excited to see what Villa shows against Arsenal later today. The game is free on TV too, so probably gonna watch it. | ||

Also Don Garber has to be pissed as well as he was booed during the trophy presentation. He was the chief reaosn in trying to move the Crew to Austin. | ||

First beat Wolves 3-2, then lost to Liverpool 4-3, then beat Nottingham Forest 5-0 and now 3-0 ahead vs West Ham. That's 14 goals in last 3 and a half games. | ||

They went toe to toe with one of the best Bundesliga teams of all time (Leverkusen record best start ever with Bayern) | ||

As much as Manu sucks and Liverpool at home feel invincible, I'm feeling worried this is another trap game for Liverpool. We need to take them seriously. That being said, I really want us to drop 10 on 10-Hag. Please let this come true. I usually agree but ManUtd are without Fernandes. Liverpool would need a big implosion not to win that game... ---------------------- ‘My biggest regret was with Di Maria,' Filipe Luis said. ‘[Sergio] Aguero told me: “If you talk about his wife, he will lose his composure.” ‘I mentioned his wife and he was devastated.
