Yes. The joke is, Noni is a thug, and that’s a lyric from one of the most violent London, small local gangs. The line is probably top 3 most repeated online among fans of the culture of it

Deptford stabbing: Drill rapper Bis killed in 'merciless' attack

https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-london-56078647

16 February 2021

A drill rapper was stabbed repeatedly in a "savage and merciless" killing after becoming upset at "disrespect" over a dead friend, a court has heard.

Crosslon Davis, 20, suffered nine wounds to his head, back and chest, in Deptford in south-east London on 6 December 2019, the Old Bailey was told.

Elijah Morgan and Jedaiah Param deny murder. Two unidentified men joined them in the attack, the jury heard.

Brian O'Neill QC told jurors: "Crosslon Davis did not stand a chance."

Mr Davis, known as Bis, was said to be a highly regarded drill artist who was a member of the Harlem Spartans - a hip-hop collective mainly based in Kennington, south London.

On 5 December he had filmed a music video in Kennington and Cambridge, accompanied by friends including Elhaj Diarrassouba, the court heard.

During the journey back to London, Mr Davis became angry with someone on the phone, jurors were told.

'Murder in mind'

Mr O'Neill said: "Rightly or wrongly, he got the impression the person on the other end of the phone was being disrespectful about 'Latz'."

Latz, real name Latwaan Griffiths, was a fellow Harlem Spartan who had been stabbed to death in July 2018.

Mr Diarrassouba - also known as Els - suggested they meet the caller to sort it out and they arrived in the Deptford Creek area at 01:15 GMT.

The jury heard that at this point Mr Davis, who was armed with a mallet, opened the rear door of a cab and tried to attack 20-year-old Mr Morgan, who is from Norwood.

The cab sped off but the occupants got out and ran back, the court heart.

Mr Davis was then set upon by the two defendants and two other unidentified assailants, it was alleged.

CCTV showed Mr Diarrassouba trying to stop the attack, Mr O'Neill said.

The prosecutor added: "Those four armed men had murder in their mind and were intent on killing Crosslon Davis."

The trial continues.

Concerning.

Is anyone really expecting anything out of this lad? On a serious note, what a complete waste of a transfer in my eyes, more interested in parties/diamonds and such.

He is very talented and capable of doing good things even at the highest level, he showed it at Dortmund. Definetly expect more from him then Mudryk at this point.

[Special Juan 27,439]

Yep he's a lot better than Mudryk

Mudryk is one of the most frustrating players (and unfortunately most expensive) we have ever purchased

he has just otherworldly pace (close to or equal to Micky van de Ven, Kyle Walker, and Karim Adeyemi) and a fairly good sense of timing on his breaks

BUT

he is one of the least instinctual, poorest decision makers in the final third to quarter I have seen lately and hurries his shots too often, when he off balance or it is very likely they will be blocked

same issues as Adeyemi TBH

shame we cannot have Pessi do a Vulcan mind-meld with Muddy

lolol

[Fulham Broadway 16,914]

Mudryk is just some random bloke that the club give lines of coke to before games

I personally wouldn't have signed him. For sure, he was good at Dortmund the first time around but Germany is an attackers dream with the high lines. Since then, he has appeared completely disinterested at Utd and even in his second stint at Dortmund he didn't set things alight. For me, once we brought Felix, that should've been the end as we didn't need two 'could be great, could be awful' signings at AM.

I deffo think he was worth the risk at that low price

and I am not normally a speculative-buy (talking about non youth and non 30+yo vet for backup and locker room steadiness specualtive buys) fangirl

Sacho strikes me as a player that needs to be motivated game in game out. Hopefully Maresca can keep him motivated throughout the season.

My biggest concern with Sancho from watching him is that he is best when he has a lot of space to run into and doesn't have much in the way in terms of psyciality. This I think is why he struggled to adapt to the PL and why he has also not done much internationally either.

£25m sure, are his wages covered by United at the moment? I assume so due to us getting no loan fee for Sterling and still paying the bulk of his wages.

[NikkiCFC 8,039]

Needed one half to have same G/A as Mount for United in more than a season in PL. Also gonna cost like 3 times less.

Man United are not covering wages, but we are not paying him Man Utd wages either.

The Athletic reports that the Englishman took a significant pay cut to force his move out of Manchester United as he looks to get his career back on track under manager Enzo Maresca, whose style of football suits Sancho's game much more than that of Erik ten Hag.
