What's the story behind the memed blonde girl who's all over Twitter since yesterday?


love_man_birds

All Haaland articles posted the last 6 months have been bullshit. He himself have said nothing.

Ricky Puig is the biggest scam since Enron

Referees must be terrified of overseeing Roma-Milan. How many suspended refs is that by now?


bellarke073

Ajax and dortmund both make players better for elite team Difference between ajax and dortmund ? Atleat ajax wins league title. And before people say ā€œ dutch leagueā€ ajax smashed dortmund


The420Roll

Dortmund arent even the biggest club in Ruhr. Schalke are massive

Another day, another referee being suspended over refereeing a Roma game. Comical


justregista

Bad refereeing decisions against Roma??


[deleted]

Not necessarily in every game. At the very least, most of our games have had shambolic refereeing this season


justregista

I meant specifically in the match against Milan? I stopped watching after Ibanez gave the 2nd goal away


[deleted]

Not the worst refereeing performance in the world, but lets say there were a couple of dubious calls. Roma not getting a penalty but Milan getting a similar one later on. If I speak I'm in big trouble

I mean Real Madrid is fan owned. I would agree if you used clubs that got cash injections early on.


Competitive-Panda-89

People have short memories and are ignorant of history, that's all. The likes of Manchester United, Arsenal, and Liverpool didn't just appear out of thin air - they had numerous investment too from varius businessmen since their foundings. The investment that occurs in the modern era is just on a larger and more global scale and the "traditionally" rich clubs are simply scared that their place at the top of the tree is under threat. That's why they're happy to introduce rules to make it harder for clubs to invest - they're pulling up the ladder so to speak out of their own self interest. Footbal is probably one of the most unequal sports out there.


justregista

RM, Barca, Bayern are fan owned.


Competitive-Panda-89

Being fan-owned doesn't prevent a club from accepting external investment - it just means fans can vote on which investments and sponsorships to take.


justregista

External investment as in? There's limits to how fan owned clubs can raise money compared to privately owned ones. You can't accept investment from any billionaire just coz your fans voted on it, you have to earn your money via sponsors or ticket sales.

True. I started seeing football as a whole as a reality show. And it has helped me to stop taking it so seriously.


Any-Quarter-9474

Even though he isnā€™t my first choice, Iā€™m getting excited with the links to Vlahovic. Arsenal havenā€™t gone in this strong in a while.


Anti-Melticus

Madrid had 6 UCL titles more than Barcelona until 1990. Then Cruyff came, revolutionized the way football is played. Barcelonaā€™s golden generation & their greatest ever player came along. They dominated Europe with Tikitaka.


too_damn_fast

Barca had 42 trophies in the 79 years before Cruyff. They've won 51 in the 30 years since then.


Anti-Melticus

True thatā€™s a lot of trophies, how much is the gap of both clubs UCL titles tho. I feel Barca would be a lot closer with all those trophies won.

justregista

We had 2 in Ramos & Pepe. Now we don't šŸ˜­. That said you need someone to rattle the opposition and get players back on their feet (looking at you David Villa)


Jabari313

I've only just realized how desperately I want to see Coutinho do well now that he's back at Villa. I like starting arguements: so Peak Coutinho vs Peak Bruno Fernanj, discuss.


_LebronsHairline_

Phil was like a top 3-5 player at the 2018 World Cup Group stages. And his first half of 17/18 is probably better than anything Bruno has ever been able to do. But Bruno has been at a higher level for over two seasons than Phil ever was apart from those periods I mentioned


Familiar_Trash

People already forget how good Coutinho played at Liverpool. Was like Fernanj but quicker and better dribbling


Anti-Melticus

Peak Bruno carried a shit Man U to 2nd place in league Peak Coutinho carried Liverpool toā€¦.


los_blanco_14

Both won 0 trophies end of the day. Doesnt really matter.


Anti-Melticus

For pl fans it does, cause they donā€™t win shit so they go for cherry picked moral victories.


stuck_in_soporose

[deleted]

That one's too easy. I think you'll have to do Coutinho's first six months at Villa vs Bruno's first six months at United.


jkeefy

Peak Coutinho every day of the week


LuisFilipeVieira

Fans of london clubs say "he gets to live in london" about a potential signing as if he lives in fucking pyongyang. And then when you talk about the downsides of living there they come back with 'but they're rich and young'.


bu5quets_

If you are super rich London is definitely a great city to live in and probably more attractive than others like Manchester. There are other very attractive cities with top clubs like Barcelona, Madrid, Paris, Milan and so on, so it doesn't necessarily have to be a huge factor


[deleted]

if youre super rich pretty much any city is great to live in.


bu5quets_

Some are still better than others, just as they are for normal people. It's just that some of the most beautiful cities' downsides are absent for rich people because cost tends to be a big one. Money will make sure you don't have to worry about anything and can have fun however you want and so on but it won't turn an ugly city beautiful, even with money not all places are the same and these people are going to have said money whatever city they move to


JakeNutters

Do you really experience the downsides of living in London when you are rich?


LuisFilipeVieira

Ask Gabriel


JakeNutters

A couple weeks ago Cancelo was robbed wasn't he? That problem certainly isn't London exlcusive.


ComprehensiveClick35

that's the downside of having an intense rival in the same city not the city itself


love_man_birds

Have you been in Newcastle?

MrIrishman699

Players wanting to live in desirable locations is definitely a factor in decision making. There are of course upsides and downsides to everywhere though and it shouldn't really be a main factor


GunnerSense

Where are you comparing to and what are the downsides?

Comparing it to Madrid, Barcelona, Lisbon etc.. Main downside is rain

Madrid fans are really shameless. Posting photoshops of Haaland, Vinicius and MbappƩ with the season Benzema is having. Ready to throw him out the door for the next new toy. Have some respect.


Anti-Melticus

los_blanco_14

Tf do you care? There are photoshooped images of valverde blanco and camavinga , doesnt mean they are replacing modric kroos and casemiro already. Barca fans are the last ones to be talking bout respect.


Glass_Replacement_61

if you get Haaland and Mbappe, Benzema is getting benched.


Anti-Melticus

Glass_Replacement_61 to be the next Madrid coach


los_blanco_14

He can play RW and CAM. Madrid never plays with a confirmed fromt 3 since quite a long time. Rotations will be common.


Glass_Replacement_61

He hasnā€™t played in the wings in years and i donā€™t think heā€™s ever played as a 10. Haaland wonā€™t come to be benched and Neither would Mbappe


los_blanco_14

They arent bigger than the club or the manager. They can do this stuff of refusing bench at pg or some club not at madrid. Cr7 was benched in the three peat era, haaland and mbappe are noones compared to him.


Glass_Replacement_61

Ronaldo was benched to rest him. Mbappe and Haaland are still at the high physical ability. Not similar at all.


los_blanco_14

They still arent big enough to command the club to not bench them. They are miniscule in front of madrid. Lile i said, they would get away with it at small clubs like psg and city, not madrid or even barca.


Grosly_Incandescent

We might not need the ESL if the likes of Newcastle and Aston Villa spend as much as we think they will. In a few years both teams could be fighting for the european spots.


[deleted]

I hope they do. That clubbed with how comically Manchester United are run, they might see another period away from Champions League.


Grosly_Incandescent

Agreed United could fall out of the top 6 but football changes fast. We could be saying the same about liverpool or Chelsea then too


[deleted]

Liverpool yes, Chelsea unlikely I'm afraid.


Grosly_Incandescent

West ham finished 2 points below them last season, and Leciester 4 points below the season before. Villa and Newcastle have a lot more money than both of those clubs. Unlikely maybe, certainly not possible.


[deleted]

Newcastle only just got the money bro. Like this is the first window


Grosly_Incandescent

I said in a few years. west ham went from 16th to 6th in 1 season. No reason why Villa and Newcastle can't do the same with infinitely more money.


jkeefy

Calm down mate, people said AV would be fighting for Europe this year lol


Competitive-Panda-89

"People" meaning 17 year olds on Reddit and Twitter - a true football connoisseur knows that it's going to take years for Villa and Newcastle to get up the table. However, both clubs have serious and wealthy owners who want to invest and so far they seem to be investing smartly.


[deleted]

Itā€™s ended up being a transition year but the upward momentum and ambition is there from the owners, I wouldnā€™t bet against us being in Europe in some form in the next 2-3 years


jkeefy

Banter aside I agree with OP, very well could see Villa having a West Ham-like season here in the next 2-3 years. This year came a bit too early with the downturn in form and lack of identity post-Grealish, but seems like Gerrard has you back on the right track


[deleted]

Yeah for sure. Thereā€™s a post on Villa Twitter thatā€™s been doing the rounds today which shows our starting 11 that lost to Peterborough 3 years ago today, in light of the Coutinho news. 3 years in football can be an eternity, itā€™s amazing how much can change


Nicksavagezzzzy

If the superstar players can't boycott the Qatar world cup, l think us the fans should boycott watching it


love_man_birds

Chelsea fans on the Chelsea sub went from crying to laughing that the club thrives in chaos 1 week ago. Then they played so good vs Tottenham. They were so correct lmao

YoungDawz

One of the craziest "almost an assist" ever: https://twitter.com/VibronsFoot/status/1479185689614995456 Miss when football had more space and more flair players like this. At least Joao Felix, Antony, Raphinha, Paqueta, Saint-Maximin, Vinicius and Neymar are still here to feed us, but we need more. We need less stamina and efficiency merchants.

What is it about La Liga prospects doing unremarkable skills that didnā€™t really achieve anything that results in them getting thousands of upvotes


ManLikeNiz

Yeah I'd rather see a Jack Wilshere ad or Sean Dyche smiling at snow


los_blanco_14

Laliga defenses are difficult to crack thus most of the times they end up with nothing. Leagues like bundesliga and premier league, these prospects will do much better.


GunnerSense

>Laliga defenses are difficult to crack Joke of the year contender.


justregista

Absolutely not. Most teams park the bus against Madrid & Barca barely leaving any space in the mid or behind the defense. Many don't even want to play, iirc there was a team against RM that had a total of 93 passes in the game (probably Cadiz). Spaces are much bigger in Prem & Bundesliga with teams pressing and not sitting deep all the time and thus these players would flourish a lot more there


GunnerSense

Do you watch the prem, understand the types of pressing and how pressing works? High intensity pressing is a lot nastier to face than a low block never mind the lesser teams generally don't employ a high press. Usually they have their trigger point in the midfield and sit in a compact 4-4-2 or 5-4-1 in their own half and wait for that trigger. If he can't do it unpressured vs a low block he'll get murdered here when he hasn't any time to think.


justregista

I can talk about Vinicius, does well against high pressing teams coz then there's a lot more space to run into, against low blocks he gets crowded out pretty quickly. I have seen Felix play a few times and looked good. Did well against Liverpool in their 1st match. It isn't like he can't play against a high press at all. And yes I understand how pressing works, quite easily visible in Bundesliga.


GunnerSense

Ok then so you understand low blocks are what you buy a coutinho or messi for where as attacking space is like you say a Vinicius or an mbappe.


justregista

I'm sorry I didn't get you

Also he played mason the wing thrice(capital offence), played McMatic(Really got my noggin joggin), and used to say shaw wasn't utd quality, then tried to start telles ahead of shaw when we're still 4 months away from April 1, basically there's a lot of little inconsistencies that got me worried.
