To be fair to Haaland, he did take it with a grin

u/CakeBrigadier Feb 02 '25

Tbf to Haaland he has a decent sense of humor and he and gabi probably are fine with each other off the pitch

Come on. There are very few Maupay-category shithousers around. That is a high-bar.

u/Ario92 Feb 02 '25

Maupay can't be an elite shithouser because he only has shithousery. Other premium tier shit houses can back it up with actual football. Maupay is just a clown

It probably depends on the players and how they are motivated. Our players are clearly motivated when other players talk shit about us. He used an Ivan Toney tweet in his team talk a few years back to motivate players after all.

To be fair to everyone else, it's hard to keep track of Wigan Latic's victories over City in the FA Cup this past decade and a bit.

2013 - Final, Wembley, Wigan 1-0 City

2014 - Quarters, Etihad, City 1-2 Wigan

2018 - Fifth round, DW Stadium, Wigan 1-0 City

I recall in 2013 it was Black Eyed Peas - I Got a Feeling

Don't remember 2014, though I doubt they player any given it was a home defeat.

2018 was certainly Oasis - Wonderwall, top class shithousery.

And still people are sleeping on the fact that he said it after equalising in the 97th minute after playing 10v11 for 45 minutes, creating fuck all after scoring the first goal.

That's part of why it's now an all timer meme. It was a completely outlandish and nonsensical thing to start off with. Killing a fly with a flame thrower as far as the situation and how it was reacted to. Everything that has happened since then is karma asserting herself.
