Your Simpsons character
Lisa Simpson
Like Lisa, Neal is a studious analyst who approaches his passions with a high level of intellectual rigor and a critical eye for detail. He is deeply concerned with tactical structure and long-term stability, often critiquing the lack of "pausa" or consistency in his favorite team, much like Lisa's moral and logical crusades. He isn't afraid to go against the grain, stating, “I’m glad Xavi’s taking his time to choose the right project... After Barça, what he needs is time and stability.” His self-admitted nature of being “Thoroughly typo prone” mirrors Lisa's perfectionist anxieties, while his tactical demands like “Controlling the half spaces is a non negotiable” reflect a sophisticated, almost academic obsession with the 'right' way to play the game.
Your MBTI personality Type
ENTP
Neal demonstrates Extroversion (E) through his highly active, public-facing engagement with a large audience, openly sharing his frustrations about “finding an apartment in London”. He leans toward Intuition (N) by focusing on tactical systems and long-term potential, such as predicting how “Pedri won’t be the same player in the Prem, he’d probably be even better” and analyzing the “intangibles” of team chemistry. His Thinking (T) trait is evident in his blunt, analytical critiques of management, calling certain decisions a “cop out” and logically dissecting player profiling. Finally, he shows Perceiving (P) traits through his spontaneous, reactionary tweeting style and his willingness to constantly reconsider his stance, such as when he admits, “Ok, I can live with this,” after initially questioning a transfer move.
Some pickup lines for you
- Are you Flick's tactical setup? Because even when there's a disconnect in the half-spaces, you're still the only 10/10 I see in the final third.
- Forget Joan Garcia—you're the real 'mentality monster' around here, and I promise my heart is way easier to find than a decent apartment in London.
- I'm usually as 'typo prone' as your bio, but I'm certain I've spelled your name right on the 'most difficult things I've done' list—right above finding a London flat.
- If we were a wing pairing like Diomande and Amad, it wouldn't just be AFCON quality—it would be pure cinema.
- I know you think Pedri would dominate the Prem, but honestly? You’re the only one picking my defense apart for fun today.

Your signature cocktail
The Joan Garcia Wall-banger
This cocktail is a tribute to Neal’s obsession with Barcelona’s new keeper, whom he claims is “going down as the best GK we’ve ever had.” The Australian rum nods to Neal’s roots, while the stiff German Schnapps represents the high-intensity 'Flick ball' that is “too potent” to judge by normal standards. We add a bitter twist of vermouth because Neal is “so sick” of the club's transfer struggles, and garnish with gold leaf to represent Lamine Yamal, whom Neal begs the club to “please start managing his minutes?!” Finally, it’s served with a side of 'Pausa'—a quality he thinks Fermin needs to reach “the next step.”
Your Hogwarts House
Ravenclaw
Neal demonstrates a strong Ravenclaw profile through his deep desire for tactical logic and constant, objective analysis of the game. He frequently breaks down positional play, such as when he observes that “Raphinha is just so diluted in this role... Doesn’t work. Never has, never will.” His tweets prioritize technical nuance over pure emotion, specifically when he attempts to “say something positive because nothing is ever fully black or white” or evaluates players based on the “intangibles... Chemistry, partnerships, continuity.” This intellectual curiosity is paired with a critical wit, seen in his assessment of Pedri's potential dominance because “Can’t press him, can’t bully him... He’d pick sides off for fun.” Ultimately, his focus on systemic efficiency and his habit of “assessing football games” beyond simple results marks him as a student of the sport.
