Just a dude in need of a place to rant abt shit.

HI

I started this blog bc I needed something to overthink that wouldn't destroy my life. A cis-het mf who made a tumblr acct to post sports takes (with some social commentary). Look… it was this or a podcast.

I love to hear others perspectives, I don't know what I don't know, and if you disagree with a take of mine I'd love to hear it. If you feel the need to check me I welcome criticism and advice as well.

Just a head's up, I'm Black, not with the bullshit, and petty enough to see shit through.

Don't be an asshole and it'll be great. I promise everyone the benefit of the doubt (within reason).

Barca posted Rashford’s goal on instagram.

It’s not over!!

[muckles-survivor]

And united didn’t!

It’s so on

[muckles-survivor]

If u needed another reminder of who tf Marcus Rashford is here u go.

The man is a game changer and absolutely should be a Barca player next season. u can teach a player to press but Rashford has traits that u just can’t coach like his ball striking.

I’d bring I’m back if only to be a backup for Lamine Yamal. If Madueke is worth 60m as a backup winger, Rashford for 40m is the bargain of the century.

Samu is training on grass again!!

Come on Deco u know what to do

[muckles-survivor]

who r u rooting for in the wc?

All the exciting players and everyone black.

I wanna see Neymar be magical. I wanna see Spain cook. I definitely want more Diomande after the first Ivory Coast match. And ofc I wanna see all of France’s players.

The only team I’m hate watching is Argentina may they never prosper.

If Barca is in the 100m striker market I know one guy they could be looking at 👀

Y’all really thought I was done

[muckles-survivor]

150m being rejected means that Barca is out of the Julian Alvarez business right… right?

Istg if they go for him at that price or higher imma have a stroke.

[muckles-survivor]

Praying that Florentino is talking abt signing Alvarez for 150m. If only for the fact that Barca will be forced to pursue a better profile.

🙏🏽

[muckles-survivor]

Gordon is a great profile fit but for 50-60m. At the 80m+ price point there are just better players available (Barcola and Diomande both spring to mind).

Guys like that actually upgrade the squad rather than simply adding depth.

[muckles-survivor]

If the plan was really to spend 80m+ on a left winger then why tf is it Anthony fking Gordon. You might as well spend another 10m and go for Diomande who is faster, stonger, more technical, versatile, dynamic, and a better finisher not to mention just as good of a presser.

This isn’t me saying that Barca should spend that much, I think it’s crazy that they are trying to replace Rashford by paying more than double for the guy that doesn’t start over him for England.

Pay man utd for Rashford and be done with it.

The one upside to this is that the club might be planning to sign a cheap striker like Muriqi on a short deal.

[muckles-survivor]

Idk how to feel abt the Bastoni rumor dying out.

Is it in a “no way we’re spending 70m+ on a cb” way,

Or

In a “watch us then blow it all on Julian Alvarez instead” way.

At least they’re prob gonna keep Rashford.

[muckles-survivor]

Seeing Barca let go of black players hurts me. I love la masia guys but goddamn it hurts my soul.

I want some more melanin in this mf.

[muckles-survivor]

I hate to say it but selling Kounde might happen.

The level of aura loss from the sale cannot be overstated. Easily the drippiest man to touch ball in recent years.

U hate to see it.

[muckles-survivor]

Rashford starting locs is his way of saying that he’s committing to Barca long term.

[muckles-survivor]

Can u explain to me in a way that makes sense why Barca has Rashford in their palm but instead is looking at the guy who doesn’t start over him at international level.

Make it make fking sense.

[muckles-survivor]

I hate how Barca fans scream about having no functioning backup to Lamine as if Rashford hasn’t been balling whenever he’s been put on the right wing.

This is why I say he’s who Ferran was supposed to be. A true 3 position attacker who can beat a man, play a dangerous ball, and make runs into space. He plays the Ferran role better than Ferran ffs.
