I'm going to frame this, Musa. ❤️

Marco van Basten really doesn't get the flowers or love he deserves, despite all the accolades.

Maybe the perfect striker ever that wasn't R9.

Can't win, don't lose.

Learn, rest, and onto the next.

LFG.

About twenty minutes ago I let my mind wonder to what that moment of celebration would actually be like and I broke down crying. No bullshit.

This is four generations in my family. It’s everything.

I — we all — want it so, so much. Maybe too much.

I keep going back over the last 6 weeks and the opportunities not taken to extend the lead, to gain a 9 or even 12 point cushion. Now it’s 4. Still good, but my god. It could’ve been so much more. That’s the killer. We’ve used up all our free hits.
February 13, 2026 at 3:38 AM
I’m still so so sad
February 13, 2026 at 3:13 AM
Yes, I know, but I'm being an awful bore and inserting my own feelings into someone else's dialogue.
February 12, 2026 at 11:32 PM
Let me feel my feelings, Lewis. You can boo me, but I'm gutted.
February 12, 2026 at 11:29 PM
Saka never fit, shouldn’t have come in.

Martinelli should’ve gone to the right, Tross stay left.

Tross buries that final chance, btw.
February 12, 2026 at 11:22 PM
Sod it.

Rest, rotate, go again etc.

4 points clear.

Fuck everyone.

UTA.

Disagree on Martinelli. Need to hit that first time. Rice definitely should put his foot through it.
February 12, 2026 at 10:37 PM
The annoying thing about those moments; if we execute properly — as we should have — that's 4 more points.
February 12, 2026 at 10:36 PM
That last part drives me buts. Rice and then Martinelli. Both chances to smack it first time.
February 12, 2026 at 10:27 PM
On the contrary, I thought he was pretty good tonight.

He probably won’t get much credit since we didn’t win, but his hold-up and link-up work tonight was outstanding. Even with barely any service. Flick through for Timber late on, too.

Sunderland. Forest. Brentford. Draws.

Two from winning positions.

Kills me.

Saka and White, please.
February 12, 2026 at 9:17 PM
And coming off at HT is no surprise.
February 12, 2026 at 9:02 PM
I'd also say we've had nothing centrally in zone 14, either. Declan carries to then distributes, Eze seemingly not keen on driving and quick ball/shots — exactly what we bought him for.

This isn’t over
He literally says in this clip that ICE will keep in Minnesota “quick reaction forces” — a military term — to go after “agitators.” Remember that those on the ground in MPLS have spent more than a week trying to tell everyone that Trump’s prior “deescalation” was a ruse and ICE is still operational
Homan: "Operation Metro Surge is ending. In the next week, we're going to deploy the officers here on detail back to their home stations or to other areas of the country where they're needed."

Hey Ron,

As a resident of the Twin Cities and a decent human being, please, oh pretty please, go — and I cannot stress this next part enough — fuck yourself. Forever.
Ron Johnson to Keith Ellison: "Two people are dead because you encouraged them to put themselves into harm's way! And now you are exploiting those two martyrs. You ought to feel damn guilty about it. Yeah, sit there and smirk. Smirk. It's sick! It's despicable. You disgust me."
February 12, 2026 at 3:37 PM
I’ll believe it when I see it and even then I’ll never, ever be quite the same.

Every single scumbag involved in this needs arresting, charging, and trial.

We, those of the Twin Cities, will never forget.

The North Remembers.
The immigration enforcement surge in Minnesota is ending, said Tom Homan, the border czar for President Donald Trump.

“I have proposed, and President Trump has concurred, that this surge operation conclude,” Homan said.
