Man City jokers sick of all Erling Haaland’s hat-tricks as they sign ‘f*** off’ on match ball


ERLING Haaland’s Man City team-mates are sick of signing the match ball after he nets another hat-trick — because he scores so many.

Prem stars keep the ball if they achieve the feat — and teammates sign it as a memento.

But one City player showed they were fed up of the tradition by scrawling “f*** off” in black marker after Erling’s latest hat-trick at West Ham on Saturday.

The 24-year-old Norwegian posted a selfie with it on his private jet.

It was his second of the season after he also hit one against Ipswich.

On that match ball, one of his colleagues scrawled: “I’m sick of writing these match balls.”

City fans speculated over who the serial marker fiend is — with most pointing the finger at Jack Grealish.

One joked: “This can only be Jack. Someone has to bring Haaland down a peg or two.”

Erling has 11 hat-tricks since joining City in 2022.

The ace has smashed home seven goals in three games – four more than any other player – in his best ever start to a season.

Speaking after hitting the treble, Haaland said: “I feel good, I feel energised.

“I had a long vacation and pre-season. Now I’m ready for more.”
