@Tezskii does Saka still have any burst left? otherwise i agree

@thin_macintosh Saka faux WB shifts 👀

Off ball & On the ball

My theory of Drake hate has a lot to due to with the socialization of millennial white boys who would talk about “real music” (dadrock) against Justin Bieber in their youth, transferring that to Wayne/Drake in the YOLO era, but at the same time becoming “poptimistic” regarding rap (Kanye specifically) in the Obama era when it became gauche to not listen to rap, so then adopting the “real rap” borrowed authenticity in order to shield from accusations of “not getting the culture”— Kanye became problematic— so Kendrick Lamar was the golden child for this exact moment— one could now just say “Kendrick” & be “a real one” — & a Pulitzer Prize too! Nobody will judge you for “slumming it” when it’s “literary”— The Millennial White Boy is now a Millennial White Man & he says “Kendrick bodied Drake” & feels that he has absolved himself of all the guilt of saying “music is like candy, you throw out the rappers” in elementary school— Drake is too close to himself, Drake is a “white boy” in these terms of “ethnic authenticity” where the definition of “real rap” is west coast gangster rap that was “political” — this is what the Pitchfork review of Iceman is, “Drake is unserious party music, but Real Rap is Political and about Race & that’s Kendrick, & I am an intellectual” — they are still embarrassed about the idea of music being “fun” or “for the clubs” etc— music must be “an object of contemplation” to be “art.” Music isn’t for enjoying a car ride, in the car we listen to NPR, music is like a movie, you sit down with an album-experience, a concept album, & treat it like it’s a movie. Rap becomes an “audiobook/podcast” about the “real experience of african americans”— & you can tune in once a year & this is your penance for being “lowkey racist” against the genre in your youth. Real music is still a Pink Floyd concept album to you— it has to be narrativized as opera— it has to be HAMILTON hahahahaha

@big_business_ @FCHWPO @stephenasmith what in the drake and kendrick is going on here

Stephen A. Smith just warned Jaylen Brown, claiming he knows things about him that would hurt his feelings: “Jaylen Brown be careful what you wish for. You really want me to start reporting on that level? You understand? Locker room, how the organization might think about you, how the city may feel about you, how Jayson Tatum may or may not feel about you, sneaker deals, endorsement deals, the list goes on and on. The season is over bro. You’re on twitch trying to do what I do”

he’s what i thought Zirkzee was supposed to be

@EBL2017 can you breakdown why when Amorim tried this same structure it never worked or sustained after long periods?

Big fan of Carrick's 3-1-6. Simply lets the centre backs, Mainoo, and Casemiro manage the build-up. Let the fullbacks and wingers play on different lines. Bruno free in the #10. It's the same attacking idea that City and Arsenal use. Hard to press and gets many bodies high…

@TheDevilsDNA curious on why you don’t have play out of defense selected

Every few months I try some iteration of Cruyff's diamond. Been enjoying this version on #FM24 recently. The Carrileros really solve the wide build up & wide defending issues of the formation. Also enjoying Ramdeuter as a role. This is 26/27 post Casemiro if anyone is wondering.

@whatsthebuzz__ it’s AOTY where it’s a bunch of teenagers trying to put niche each other

this shit is crazy it’s really over for him

@FrankEra_ @AadamHaladh get these lads on the pitch mann

🚨📸 | Ayden Heaven and Patrick Dorgu are also watching the FA Youth Cup final tonight. [@AadamHaladh]

@Dwight21amigo @FrankEra_ Getting a dressing room to buy in + getting results is like 80% of any football manager job

🚨🎙️ | Ben Jacobs: "#MUFC will NOT want it painted as 'Carrick got Champions League football and then he just got the job'. "On day one, Carrick was not told definitively he was a candidate, but the interim title was REMOVED from his job title to allow him to function as a United manager, including being part of recruitment meetings." "The weight of support from Carrington and the dressing room has led officials to feel this is the right FIT, this is the best TRANSITION." [@UnitedStandMUFC]

@Telgotballs He always had a shot in his locker

Maybe he was just being average for Yanited on purpose because WHAT😭

@exfootballfan 0 burst in this whole starting lineup. The hope was they have the ability to build up through the middle. But my god have they been poor

I know Zirkzee’s gun jammed, but Carrick set him up to fail by starting Amad and Cunha, two ball-to-feet attackers, with absolutely zero outlets around him.

Zirkzee hasn’t been great but man united has been so poor in small spaces. His small lay offs have missed players every time

@exfootballfan Better get some nice wingbacks or pray that they can develop into 10s

jj gabriel and shea lacey, all our carrington starboys got 76 pace

@UTDTruth He profiles like Dembele and Kane. Cannot let him go

Guys are saying keep Zirkzee for the 3rd GK vibes role I'm dying

they’d call this haramball if arteta and arsenal did this

@ChinoUTD Yall said the same about Ole. Coaching staff’s are assembled for this very reason.

💣 EXCLUSIVE: A senior Manchester United source reveals the hidden influence behind the club’s form “A lot of people see Michael Carrick on the touchline and think that’s where everything comes from. But inside, we know it’s more than that. There’s a balance. Steve Holland brings the ideas… the tactical detail, the adjustments, the solutions in difficult moments. Carrick brings the execution. He understands the dressing room, he knows how to communicate, how to get players to believe and deliver. That’s the difference. Having ideas is one thing. Making players carry them out is another. And Carrick does that better than most. It’s a partnership. When things aren’t working in games, you’ll see Carrick turn, speak to Steve… and that’s where solutions come from. Then Carrick delivers it to the players in a way they understand. That’s when it becomes dangerous for the opposition. And don’t forget Jonny Evans. He’s the bridge. Someone the players trust, someone they can go to, someone who keeps that connection strong. So what you’re seeing on the pitch… it’s not just one man. It’s a structure that works.”

@SoulCrusher780 @abefafrc @Isa23762Isaac @Emzyl_ this just factually untrue

@abefafrc @thin_macintosh @Isa23762Isaac @Emzyl_ Trent doesnt have half of beckham's passing, vision ,crossing ,goal scoring ability ,set pieces ability and he also cannot defend or play in a midfield 3. Beckham could. The only one who was at beckham's level was de bruyne.

Never seen a more stiff footballer in my life before. Elite right back in the modern game though

@BraKay_A @talkSPORT what exactly do burnley gain from being a yo yo club

Alex Crook believes Burnley are cheating the premier league system and should be given a promotional ban. Crook, the chief of football @talkSPORT says Burnley are deliberately gaming the system by getting relegated from the Premier League twice in a row. According to Crook, he believes Burnley are more about gaining financial support after getting promoted from the championship.

@opp_ghost @mattseybert82 dude you don’t seem stupid but come on so many other factors in software development before you get into gender wars.

@thin_macintosh @mattseybert82 The fems are so proud of you

I’m not trying to Troll - if random Twitter users can create awesome cut scenes like this, (using AI obviously) what is stopping EA from doing the same thing? Do they have to use the same engine for every single thing? I know my lack of knowledge is showing, just genuinely curious about this. #CF27
