Well, happy birthday Kylian Mbappe, ya filthy animal! Today, December 20, Mbappe turns 19. The question of how good he’ll be a few years from now is dwarfed by the immediate: how good is this kid right now? Yes, today’s highlight is from a match against yo-yo club SM Caen, but my word.
Unlike the Premier League, which increases its schedule during the holidays, the Bundesliga takes a winter break. The month-long hiatus began after Sunday’s matches. It’s sad for fans who want to watch German football over the coming weeks — and doubly so for the Bundesliga mascots.
Team mascots are created for one reason: to support a team. What do you do when your entire existence is based around something that won’t happen again for nearly a month?
Twas’ the night before match day 20, when all through the Prem not a team could stop city , not even DeAndre Yedlin. (or Them - point to Tottenham)
Here are some players you could use for your squad, and don’t you worry, our logic’s not flawed.
Alright - forget the night before christmas schtick. Here are the players you could transfer for this week:
Heung-Min Son (Tottenham):
After tricky back to back away games vs Man City and Burnley. Spurs return home this week vs a Southampton squad that’s struggled for consistency.
Hello folks. We got two matchdays over the holiday weekend. Lets get this thing poppin’ like Buddy the elf in the mail room.
3 Wise Men
Marko Arnautovic (West Ham):
Much like the Abominable Snowman from Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, West Ham’s Marko Arnautovic was once really bad, but now he’s good.
If the Austrian midfielder can get over a slight calf twang before the visit of the team that puts the “ug” in “struggle”, Newcastle United, Moyes’ preferred boy will have his third huge FPL performance in four weeks.
Alberto Moreno, Philippe Coutinho and Roberto Firmino are all having fine seasons for Liverpool, but that has pretty much nothing to do with this video, which depicts the trio engaging in the BLOODSPORT OF MINI GOLF.
Ah, we jest. Mini-golf is not a blood-sport. It is not even a regular sport. It is quite fun though.
Alberto Moreno is OK at mini-golf. The other two are just awful. Firmino especially. The man shot a 10 on the first hole. I wouldn't think that was possible for a coordinated human adult if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes.
