We raised tomcats every week.

He just keeps coming back up.

That’s good, brother.

This is good for America, brother.

It’s good for America, brother.

He had eight goal involvements and nine hits or something crazy like that.

I mean, the goal he scored against Fiorentino, a beautiful, beautiful goal.

He’s the only one who seems to show up, Pul scores this incredible goal and leads to a loss and a defeat for Fiorentina, which is really frustrating.

David De Gea is also back.

He had a spectacular game, eight shots on goal and seven and two penalties.

And this is where the controversy begins because, if you don’t know, Christian Pus has been AC Milan’s designated penalty taker since February.

That’s a good statement so that even his teammates don’t know about it, because I think that was also the first person to tell you his name, Hernandez, who happens to be the captain.

He does it, it is saved by De Gea.

So there is another penalty.

I think it’s Tamori grabbing it and giving it to Tammy Abraham, and Christian Ballistic called for it as he came up to him, and Tammy, you could see him nodding and saying, “No, bro, I’ll take it.” , which is absolutely disrespectful.”

I want to give Christian Ballistic some credit for ignoring the situation.

He didn’t want to do this thing because what was I supposed to do in this situation?

If so, when I’m p, I’ll do all sorts of scenes, bro.

You don’t respect me in front of the fans, in front of the away fans on national television.

There you go, brother.

No, you don’t.

This is completely disrespectful.

I’ll give Pul some credit.

Maybe I’m thinking about it the wrong way.

What would you do in this situation?

I definitely talk to Tammy Abraham more than Tao Hernandez.

I think Theo Hernandez.

I say why?

Because he’s captain, but Tammy is disrespectful, but because he’s captain and also, but, but for Tammy Abraham to do that after they’ve already missed one and the player is so informed it drives me so crazy.

Christian Ballistic is so informed.

You think it’s jealousy.

Of course it is.

Of course it is, it’s jealousy.

It is that, but there are two things.

It’s jealousy.

It’s not about this player being given leadership of the team.

The other half of my argument is that Christian ballistics needs to do more to prevent this from happening.

And that’s the move we wanted to see from Christian B: He goes into the locker room. If it were me, my forearm would be on this guy’s throat saying, “Hey, don’t ever do that to me again.”
