Vesper

We have been in a Zoom call with my parents for almost an hour now. It is 2 pm in the afternoon there (Auckland, in Kiwi land) 17 C and raining there, just like the past couple days here in Stockholm. They are headed into winter though down under, LOLOL. Zero chance (or near zero) that it would be 17 C here on last day of November, lolol. They are coming back to London in a month or so.

Pep picked the wrong stage to have his 'Tuchel moment of madness' (Arsenal game) with too much overthinking and horrid player selection. It is so simple to name the number one monster mistake. No Fernandinho starting. I do not give a shit if he just turned 36yo, he is still, for one-off big game, the 3rd best DMF (after Kante and Kimmich) on the planet for one HUGE game. especially the way he plays that position for Citeh. Just like Thiago Silva, if not injured, can be close to the best CB (lets say top 6,7 for sure, if just one game ad he is healthy) on planet for one game. On balance, also (not Pep's fault at all) De Bruyne, OF ALL people, has been poor the past 4 weeks or so. Finally, Sterling has had a train wreck of a 2021 so far. One goal since mid FEBRUARY. I am playing armchair psychologist now, BUT, ever since he took up the mantle of racial justice poster boy (I admire the fuck out of that, btw, obviously, as a woman of colour myself) it seems to have weighed VERY heavily, increasingly so. on him. His play seems, I do not know, 'detached', disjointed, distracted? I hope this makes sense to whomever reads this. Reece OWNED his arse completely today. Just crushed him to powder all game. Same with Chilwell on Mahrez. and I just now, as I type this, see this, lololol Arsenal interested in Raheem Sterling and Riyad Mahrez with Man City to listen to offers https://www.givemesport.com/1698975-arsenal-interested-in-raheem-sterling-and-riyad-mahrez-with-man-city-to-listen-to-offers

its like seeing a ghost and hearing him speak, lol the fucking Home Office needs to give his fucking visa!!

climbing the charts

Kante is a serial winner what a player I fully admit I was so wrong barking about selling him after his injuries and Sarri semi-fucking him up by relieving him of his destroyer role Sarri DID improve offensive play a bit but that is not at all why Kante has won leagues, FA Cup, EL, CL, and World Cup

Tuchel was a genius as all 3 wins in a row as he focused on the only weak link in the Citeh squad, LB If Cancelo was a left footer, then even that is gone, but he is a bit awkward at LB compered to his often WC play at RB I have zero doubt Pep goes balls deep for one of the following: Theo Hernández Nuno Mendes Ferland Mendy (doubt Real will sell) Lucas Hernández (doubt Bayern will sell) Robin Gosens José Gayà (his release clause is insane, 100m euros) Raphaël Guerreiro Lucas Digne Kieran Tierney Renan Lodi Alex Sandro (stop-gap, as he turns 31yo midseason) Leonardo Spinazzola Sergio Reguilón Ramy Bensebaini Alejandro Grimaldo Nicolás Tagliafico Rayan Aït Nouri Ryan Sessegnon Owen Wijndal Vitaliy Mykolenko Jonny Otto Douglas Santos Faitout Maouassa Pervis Estupiñán Borna Sosa Maxwel Cornet Caio Henrique

I SO want the Super Cup and especially the FWCC (it is the only trophy still contested we do not have) losing the FA Cup final cocked up our shot at 7 trophies in a row (as Leicester plays Citeh in the CS now)

damn, we should be in the CS instead of Leicester CL should trump FA Cup

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2021_FIFA_Club_World_Cup The 2021 FIFA Club World Cup is scheduled to be the 18th edition of the FIFA Club World Cup, a FIFA-organised international club football tournament between the winners of the six continental confederations, as well as the host nation's league champions. The tournament will be hosted by Japan in December 2021. Bayern Munich are the defending champions, but cannot defend their title after being eliminated in the 2020–21 UEFA Champions League quarter-finals.

lol Kai dropping F bombs like crazy on global telly with Azpi

AC is SUCH a Scandi, he kisses it on the 'clean' side, roflmaoooooooooooooooooooo

YES enough of fucking that one up

now, finally lets win that fucking FWCC so we get the World Champions Badge for a year this is literally the last time it is under the old format

his tummy finally was healed 🤣

there are so many players whose primed years are 23 to 28, 29 I am profoundly against this far too often concept of a non GK player's true prime not happening until 29, 30yo or so overall is simply NOT bourn out by the stats obviously there are massive exceptions, put they prove the rule I have shown thsi since I joined for fullbacks and DMF's especially the drop for 95% once they pass 30yo is cray

if 25yo is not prime then someone's age clock is broken Messi at 24 and 25 years old (turned 25 in the middle) scored 91 goals in a calendar year

lol google 2021 CL Google tossed up active fireworks gifs all over the screen

hater🤣

massive respect to Lamps he helped get us here he trusted our youth

Pep cannot win with Messi-level player he simply must get Mbappe or Håland

Kante MOTM what a fucking little demon he was

has there EVER been a better defensive performance in CL final history? especially considerong the monster offensive team we faced
