- Erling Haaland being younger than Phil Foden doesn’t quite make sense in my brain

- Someone on Twitter made a fake quote of Ruben Neves talking about John Obi Mikel and he's posted it on his Instagram 😭
- Aaron Ramsdale has just said it’s a marker for Arsenal that they can beat City. Mate, there’s no penalty shoot-outs in the league. It would have been a draw at best hahaha
- Replying to @JElgottHere it is, the moment you’ve all been waiting for…. Footage of the Fake IPL, which somehow conned people in Russia into betting on it. ‘Chennai Fighters’ off to a solid start, pitch looking in good condition.
00:00 - People paying £8 a month to pretend to be footballers on social media, christ alive
- Deeply weird and uncomfortable watch
- WTF = With The Family You’ve got to respect it
- Demichelis looks at least five years younger here than when he played for City
- They won’t pick up on it in the post-match analysis but you have to admire the way Doku seamlessly transitioned into that griddy, he didn’t even break stride
- Replying to @JElgottThe group streamed the matches on YouTube. They took turns wearing kits of Chennai Super Kings, Mumbai Indians and Gujarat Titans. The stream had downloaded sound effects to make it more realistic. They even hired a commentator who sounded like the actual commentator.
