So, here's the latest scoop in my life: there's this bizarre trend on the internet called "Let's Pretend You're Kai Beckham's Girlfriend." Sounds ridiculous, right? Well, buckle up, because it gets weirder.
Basically, these models from all corners of the globe are hopping on the bandwagon. Wherever I go – London, Manchester, you name it – they miraculously appear, posting pictures as if they're right by my side. They're even sneaking shots from my games and adding captions that make it seem like we're a couple.
I mean, talk about surreal. In the past three months alone, the world has apparently discovered three new "girlfriends" for me, none of whom I've even heard of. Seriously, can someone please tell me how to unsubscribe from this madness?
It's like I've been cast in some bizarre rom-com where I'm the unwitting heartbreaker, except I never got the script memo. Seriously, everyone seems to think I'm this guy who's juggling multiple relationships when, in reality, I'm just trying to navigate life like any other twenty-something.
The whole mess came to my attention thanks to Mom, of all people. She stumbled upon it somewhere and innocently asked about my latest flame. It took some serious convincing to assure her that I had no clue what she was on about.
Mom, being the superhero she is, promptly reported the whole debacle to my management team. They're now on a mission to salvage my reputation and scrub away this undeserved bad-boy image.
Now, onto the season – let's just say we're knee-deep in mud. It's like our club went from top dog to underdog overnight. I'm not sure how we managed to fall from grace so spectacularly, but here we are, trying to claw our way back up.
As much as I'd like to speak up, it's not exactly easy to waltz up to the manager and drop some truth bombs. But let me tell you, it's getting harder to bite my tongue. The decisions he's making for the team? Let's just say they're about as clear as mud, and it's starting to take a toll on all of us.
Sure, we managed to scrape by with a draw against Spurs, but let's not sugarcoat it – that's not exactly a victory dance-worthy result. Back in the day, we'd be wiping the floor with teams like that. Now? We're just hanging on for dear life, all thanks to some questionable calls from the top.
And don't even get me started on how it's affecting my game. Picture this: I'm in the zone, playing my heart out, and then out of nowhere, the manager decides to sub me out in the 70th minute. Seriously, what the actual fuck, Ten Hag?
With the English camp looming on the horizon, there's a whole bunch of young talent gunning for a spot in the Three Lions squad – myself included.
But with the way Ten Hag's been steering my career lately, I can't help but wonder if my dreams of donning that England jersey again are slipping through my fingers, even though I'm currently topping the league's scoring charts.
And let me tell you, I'm not one to shy away from voicing my opinions, especially when it comes to questionable managerial decisions. It's become quite the hot topic, both on and off the field.
There's even this article floating around about me and Ten Hag supposedly having a beef. I'll admit, it's pretty amusing – and hey, maybe there's a bit of truth in there somewhere. Who knows?

In the showdown between Manchester United and Spurs, the match ended in a 2-2 draw, with both goals credited to none other than Kai Beckham. One was a jaw-dropping free kick, beautifully curled into the top bins, while the other came from a stellar pass by Bruno Fernandes, expertly finished off by Beckham.
But what really caught everyone's attention was the dynamic duo of Fernandes and Beckham, who seemed to be pulling out all the stops to secure the win. Beckham was even on the brink of netting a hat-trick.
Then, out of the blue, in the 70th minute, Ten Hag made the baffling decision to sub Beckham off. Now, call me old-fashioned, but isn't it customary to keep your star player on the pitch, especially when they're on fire? It left many scratching their heads – does Ten Hag have some secret playbook we're not privy to? Or is he just not in it to win it?
You could practically see the disbelief written all over Beckham's face as he trudged off the field. It was clear he wasn't exactly thrilled with the manager's call – and honestly, who could blame him?
His expression morphs into one of disbelief as his gaze lands on his number flashing on the substitution board. With wide eyes, he strides off the field, sharing a brief handshake with the manager. Yet, even in that fleeting moment, you can detect a hint of tension as his hand trembles.
Post-match, we managed to snag a comment from him, and it's clear he's less than thrilled with his manager's decision.
"Yeah, I'm still scratching my head over why he took me off," he admits, a note of frustration in his tone. "But hey, if he thought it was for the best, then who am I to argue? Maybe I wasn't up to par, or perhaps he had a different strategy in mind that didn't include me. I guess I'll just have to roll with the punches."
Ten Hag found himself in the hot seat at the post-game press conference, fielding a barrage of questions about Beckham's substitution.
"He's not injured or anything," the manager clarified, his tone firm. "It just seemed like he was struggling to break through, and we needed to inject some fresh energy into the game."
Acknowledging Beckham's stellar performance – after all, he was the one who netted both of our goals – Ten Hag stood by his decision. "Yes, I'm aware of Kai's contributions today," he stated. "But sometimes, a fresh pair of legs can make all the difference, adding a new level of energy and pressure."
Despite facing criticism from the fans, Ten Hag remained resolute in his choice. As for Beckham, he seemed unfazed by the whole thing, staying laser-focused on his game. Here's hoping that Ten Hag's decisions won't put a damper on the golden boy's potential.

Luckily, I won't be cooped up at home all day because my family is coming over – and when I say family, I mean everyone. Yep, the whole gang.
But brace yourselves, because when the Beckhams unite under one roof, it's like stepping into a whirlwind of chaos. Seriously, it's a recipe for madness.
I'm expecting them any minute now, so thank goodness I tidied up the place today. Call me old-fashioned, but I prefer cleaning my own house rather than having some random stranger do it.
Sometimes, despite all the wealth, it feels like I'm just your average Joe. No private chefs, no cleaners – none of those luxuries you might expect. Heck, I don't even have a personal barber. I just head down to this spot in Manchester where there's this one guy I trust with my hair. No fancy home visits for me.
Food? You can call me Gordon Ramsay because I can whip up a meal fit for the whole family. We're big on cooking together – it's our favourite way to bond.
