Hello everyone.
I am sorry for the increased inactivity recently, it is the lowest I have felt in quite some while.
Not only have I lost some passion, due to my favourite managers either getting sacked, or underperforming, but my personal life has been very tough.
Recently, I was laid off of not necessarily job, but one of my part time coaching gigs for underperformance. Of course, this hurt me very much.
So I looked to pick up a new part time hobby, and if you didn’t already know, my father is a chef. I picked up a love for cooking from him, so I suggested an idea to him which combines my 2 loves: Cooking and the tactical aspect of football.
The idea was to put a spin on regular French cuisine (his expertise), and serve all the dishes in formations, named after football managers I idolise. For example, the “Pep Bourguignola” — a twist on the French classic Beef bourguignon. And for the plating twist, the gravy would make the shape of the pitch, with things like the vegetables, pieces of meat being his 3-2-4-1 in possession formation.
I offered him role to be the head chef. A father-son business.
Unfortunately, he did not see to take this well, and felt I was insulting his craft he has worked years on, asking me whether I was autistic.
And really, I feel I have had some dreams shattered recently. So I am trying to find my feet, motivation, hunger again.

We conducted our own full investigation 🕵️♂️ into Thomas Frank drinking from an Arsenal-branded cup at last night's Bournemouth v Spurs match.
We understand that in the dressing room pre-match, Thomas Frank asked for an espresso ☕️ drink from one of Spurs' officials.
That official, who we can’t name due to the Data Protection Act, saw the cup on the table and handed it to Thomas Frank to drink. Was that official playing a joke on Thomas Frank?
The official then went to the toilet 🚽, and that's when Thomas Frank went onto the pitch with the Arsenal branded cup.
Our sources state that Bournemouth cleaners 🧹 left the cups from the previous match against Arsenal as a joke.
Thomas Frank was informed about the cup and quickly chucked it in the bin 🗑️with the rest of the cups.
It was a tense situation 😬, and the club was more concerned about the cup than Spurs losing in the final seconds.

🚨 Manchester United have made a bid worth just under €85m (€75m + €10m) to RB Leipzig for striker Benjamin Sesko.
💰Newcastle's second bid was higher & more upfront — €80m + €10m.
🤷🏽♂️ Sesko has been open to both projects — but one source has told Sky Sports News he is leaning towards Manchester United.
😣 This is not the news #NUFC wanted…

Pep Guardiola couldn't win the Champions league in 4 attempts with a Bayern Munich super team.
It took Pep Guardiola 7/9 attempts to win the Champions league with Manchester City.
Klopp has only one Champions league trophy in his entire managerial career.
Mourinho was hired by Real Madrid and given unlimited resources to deliver the Champions league and he failed.
It's only Mikel Arteta who's expected to win it with his first and second attempt.
I know where we were before this man and where we are at the moment. Call it a blind faith or whatever but I'm not giving up on him.
We fall short, rise up and go again until we make it Mikel. We go again next season Mikel.

Eddie Howe on Sean Longstaff:
"Sean has been very good since I’ve been here. He’s been brilliant to work with. His performances have improved, he’s still got areas to work on like every player has but he’s fundamentally important to us.
Competition in midfield is higher than it has ever been and he’s going to be aware of that. He’s competing with very good players for a starting place."

Don’t want to go all Kevin Keegan here but the Gallaghers have let themselves down with this whole thing. Fans waited 15 years for a reunion. Supported them all the way. And in return they gouged them. And not a word from either, none of this ‘as you were’ man of the people act.
