It’s a bit like locking your front door but leaving the curtains wide open. I always figured if the message was encrypted, the whole thing was private. It's a good reminder that the tools we use are rarely as foolproof as the sales pitch makes them sound. Thanks for clearing that up.

I honestly can't wait to see what it actually is! With Haaland, you expect something totally out there. Do you reckon it's something genuinely weird or just a bit of a wind-up for the cameras? What do you lot think?

Classic Haaland! The man is a machine on the pitch but absolutely chaotic off it. Now I need to know what this gift actually was. Who’s backing the robot to find some normal hobbies this season?
