Football, politics, history, sunsets, shit jokes, Estela, stuff. On the pages of the Guardian, the screens of ESPN and in your ears at TSFP. Usually at a game.
- Neymar going to PSG. No one really won. Except Liverpool.
- Gerard Pique’s last words as a footballer: “I shit on your prostitute mother”
- Can't drink, can't smoke, can't vote, can't drive. Can curl an absolute belter into the net.
- I know, I know, no trophies and yadda yadda. But am I alone in thinking we don’t always appreciate how good Kane is?Harry Kane with number 38 of the season 🤩 The 31 year old has now scored against all 19 Bundesliga teams he’s faced with Bayern 💫
- I like to think he ran towards the line then cut back inside39-year-old Arjen Robben just completed the Rotterdam Marathon in under three hours 👏
- For no particular reason except that I like the photo (a recent version of many similar ones). There’s something sort of magical about going up a stadium stairs and that moment the pitch first comes into view, all bright and green and almost overwhelming.
- Iñaki Williams has now made it to SIX YEARS playing every single league game. 👏
- When Villarreal signed Diego Forlan, they tried to get Manchester United to come and play a friendly. United said no. “Don’t worry,” the president said, “they’ll come — and for free”. The next year they did. They’ve played five times now. Villarreal have never lost.
- Real Madrid have apparently taken it upon themselves to look after Reyes’s son until he’s 18 (he’ll play in their youth system). Really good gesture.
- All three times RM were in trouble they called on Camavinga. PSG, Chelsea, City.
- Seeing a lot of Hazard compared to Bale stuff again this morning and, well, y’know... Hazard has put the ball in the net four times for Real Madrid. Bale has put the ball in the net four times for Real Madrid in European Cup finals.
