Diogo Jota - died in car crash RIP

I was just talking to my brother about Jota, and he said he couldn’t think of another footballer at Jota’s level who’s died while still active.

He's right, isn't he?
Duncan Edwards (and the others on that plane in ‘58).
I thought your brother was Man U fan?
 
Weird when famous people die. Normally you just acknowledge it and it passes quickly.

Anthony Bourdain was an exception for me. Still think about him regularly, but I guess he is regularly spoken about in the media.

Jota will be the same.
 
Mourinho has always been easy to hate as a football villain, but I've always thought he speaks immaculately on a human level.

A mate of mine was a Chelsea season ticket holder for some years and said Mourinho did a lot of charity work when he was manager there which never got headlines but was much appreciated locally.
 
Oasis just did the same too

I think it's a shitty line that doesn't really capture anything what is actually unique about the club, which is really the connection that runs through between the club, the city and supporters, a sense of togetherness and spirit and endeavor through tough times both on and off the pitch. 'This means more...'doesn't capture any of that. It's just feels a bit arrogant and kinda cheapens and dismisses the passion other supporters have for their clubs. I've never minded it getting mocked. It's a bit cultish.
 
It's also comparative. I dont care whether this means more, it just means a lot more than it rightly should, for me.
