The reaction to this Haaland stuff is absolute insanity at this point. The sheer volume of comments, tweets, abuse, insults etc when I had zero info. It’s utter madness. “He had his captain on Haaland all week”. I didn’t! It was literally on Bruno at one or two points during the stream and on earlier videos in the week. It was a super close call! Just because you don’t think it was, doesn’t mean it wasn’t. It’s the reason I wasn’t bothered by refreshing and being on Bruno, I liked both picks 🤷‍♂️ Just because being top 1k would change how people approach the game, doesn’t mean it does for me. The idea that someone wouldn’t captain Bruno if top 1k is just stupid. I’m human, just because I do this for a living doesn’t mean I’m always calm with my decisions, sometimes it’s last minute, it’s not acting, it’s just who I am. There are plenty of deadlines streams where I know exactly what I’m doing and I’m chill. Why don’t I also just “act” otherwise for views then? Because that’s not what I do. I’ve had so much shite thrown at me, it’s ruined my weekend, and the sad thing is, it’s all for nothing. People are angry for made up stuff in their head - I had no more info than anyone else. And now I’ll have to listen to it for a while despite doing nothing wrong. People just making stuff up -“well you must have known he was a doubt” etc. No truth in it whatsoever. The first I ever saw of it was from a tweet AFTER the deadline and I assumed it was something of nothing, until Saturday afternoon when the rumours started, at which point it was too late to do anything about it anyway. I’ve been offered info from a big Chelsea account before for money, I declined it without even asking how much. A Man United account asked if I wanted info recently, I said no. My Twitter DMs are completely shut off now unless I follow you, I barely check Instagram messages. I’m in zero FPL group chats. I actively try and avoid info like this, especially as my audience has grown, unless it’s public like the recent Haaland and Foden benchings. Not sure what more I can do. I’m just taking a lot of heat for no reason, I’ve gained zero advantage from this whole thing. People just want someone to blame, and it looks like it’s me, despite having no prior knowledge of this whole thing. It’s just sad. And yeah, it comes with the territory, it doesn’t mean it’s any more fun to have to read.
