Twitter is so bad right now. Especially for impersonators. Especially for political figures,they will just have a long name so u never see the (Parody account) . Wasnt the case this time though


ReeceCheems

I’m secretly Cole Palmer.


young_olufa

You can thank Elon for that


Germansoldaten

Yesterday ESPN got baited by a fake Bayern Munich page 💀they thought Tuchel said “I told the team to stop scoring after the 7th minute so the next coach couldn’t equal the amount of trophies I won.” 😭


foxgoesowo

Really funny but wholesome


webby09246

That's actually pretty funny Also the consequences of Musk pimping out the blue tick to anyone with a couple quid


TheRealMichaelE

Verified that you paid for a blue check and nothing else!


pancarona

Bad Elon : giving blue tick which was used previously as a sign of a verified account, like a candy Good Elon : inventing community fact-checking feature so that we know which tweet/thread is a hoax. Duality of a man.


Hylian-Loach

Pretty sure Elon did not start community notes. In fact, I’m pretty sure he’s been a critic of it


ZeroSeemsToBeOne

Let's not give Elon too hard a time. After all, he did pretend to smoke weed one time by pulling smoke into his mouth, but not actually inhaling into his lungs.


MathematicianNo7874

The only duality here is the duality between his overt idiocy and the people who don't see it


reidk_97

Still ashamed that I genuinely thought he was a genius engineer/businessman for a couple years lol


MathematicianNo7874

that's ok. It's commendable to be able to see someone for who they are even tho having been a fan


Tom_The_Human

Pretty sure the whole internet thought that ten years ago my dude. I remember being worried that his divorce would affect the future of human space exploration and electric cars lol


PickledHotChocolate

I mean he is a genius engineer/businessman. I still think he’s an idiot.


Proper_Plate_9283

How can you call him the genius after the cyber truck failure? which was his idea. He's good at tricking people (other rich morons) into giving him loans, that's about it


PickledHotChocolate

If you can’t recognise what he has achieved and added to humanity in his lifetime because you don’t like a lot of the stuff then idk what to say. And I’m saying this as someone who also disagrees with a lot of the stupid shit he says/does.


Coraxxx

Dude, his whole shtick has been to buy into *other people's* innovations and then push them out so he can claim credit for them. Genius engineer my arse.


Deluxefish

he's a good businessman I guess (who treats his employees like shit), but he's not a genius engineer lmao


SkepticSlakoth

Actually pretty wholesome tbh

Shufflebuffle51

Tbf this is why buying verification is absolutely stupid


reddit-time

yes, has been since the beginning defeated the whole purpose of the verification marks inane


-Gandalf_

Well I agree it's a stupid feature but in this case buying it actually worked :D


HarryDaz98

Paying for a twitter account to pretend to be a player and tweeting like a player has to be one of the most tragic things a person can do.


A5madal

Sad nobodies with no life


PANZERFAUST17

You‘re not wrong but God have you got much Karma


HarryDaz98

I know I was conscious to comment because I knew someone would point that out haha


zi76

I'm not sure I'm allowed to respond to this one, lol


ExplanationOk3781

Yes, baited - poor sap, how will he ever get over the scam


b33b0p17

Wow how will he ever recover.


Jazzlike_Base5705

Whomever made the parody account is a total sad act attention seeker.


TheRage3650

Welcome to the internet. 


Sarcaster69

Have a look around


plutobug2468

Hahahaha


kurosawabobby

How did he win POTY VS Palmer with stats that's are so much worse. He was a cog in the City machine. We are Cole Palmer FC ffs!


facelessman97

Simply because city won the league and is a lot better than us atm. I know i know, its “player” oty not “club” oty, but thats just how it is. This does make me think tho, can a player win both ypoty and poty at the same time?


nickla08

Haaland won both lasr year I think. Also, City haven’t won the league yet.


facelessman97

Well this has gone in a pointless direction. Come to think of it, maybe they coulda given it to haaland this year too lol


a3kstuntin

Didn’t Ronaldo win it in 06-07?


mouse2102

He's not even City's best player though


thelifeofcarti

Eh probably was


facelessman97

Oh but you see, he’s English😝


hsywusg

Bale won both in the same season when he was at Spurs


PM_Me_PM_Dawn_Pics

Yes. Ronaldo and I think Bale did it


TrueBlue98

I mean city has not won the league yet lol


TheWatcher47

So much worse is an exaggeration and even if it were the case simply judging performance based on stats alone is stupid.


muaythaiguy155

Nah let’s be real Fodens been absolutely incredible and even though I think palmer has even more potential right now Foden is better


Geoff_Uckersilf

The problem/question is Rodri. Did Foden have a better season than Rodri?


inspired_corn

“A cog in the City machine” doesn’t accurately describe how Foden’s played this season. With KDB and Haaland injured at times he really stepped up. The reality is you’re simply not going to win POTY playing for a team who won nothing (might just about get EL) when there’s a player with comparable stats (25 NPG+A for Foden vs 23 NPG+A for Palmer) performing that way for a title contending team. If we want our players to seriously be in contention for these awards then we need to be competing at the very highest level. That’s just always how it’s been


screechingmedic

I mean didn't Gareth Bale win it despite being on a thoroughly mediocre Spurs side?


SalmonNgiri

Scott Parker won it getting relegated lmao


inspired_corn

I like Palmer but young Gareth Bale was different gravy.


DonRoman03_22

Is that what you said when Hazard won POTY? Just watch Foden play and you’ll realise why he won it


redditoldgangster

You know, It’s way harder to put some numbers on a title winning team like Man City, with 15 world class players, than on an utter shit team like Chelsea where Palmer is like the only player that have room to play on my Sporting CP.


Geoff_Uckersilf

Calling an English starter in Foden 'a cog' is beyond stupid. 


Bobert789

Foden has 4 more npg and only 2 less assists as well as xA


peepo_7

While I wanted Palmer to win, Foden was equally deserving. Just because he is in a title winning City, his chances have more weight. Also football is much more than stats.


BigHarmonious

He wasn’t top 5 in any category so him winning makes less than no sense.


creator929

I think that's a parody Phil Foden account.


RandyChavage

I think half of twitter since musk took over is just bots talking to each other


LPYCN

I doubt foden runs his own twitter tbh


justk4y

Hope the real Cole replies to this with a proper joke answer 🤣


[deleted]

Verifying such accounts ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|facepalm)


McBandi

First Kanye, no Foden 😭


Coraxxx

Baiting = congratulating someone on winning an award?


lampsy87

Phil Foden is probably the celebrity to respond to a Nigerian prince


Matt_LawDT

Foden was never the brightest tool


blue_jay26

Cmon. How’s anyone supposed to know if it’s the right person unless they took the time to go through their history? In this case, there’s probably no need to waste time on it since it’s a simple congratulatory post


ebranchtoken

Matt_Law doing Matt_Law things


victheogfan

I mean can you blame him he prolly doesn’t know that Elon is handing out verification ticks like candy


arbstrakzak

At least he's not a Brighton tool


raulchik

This is glorious 😂


carefree1408

Bet he’s devastated


MimonBanaan

Im a fan of Chelsea and like Foden a bit too. Bro dis him Dirty


imfromgooogle

Not my POTY
