Yan’s back, guys—let’s trash talk ourselves into another victory together!
Yan’s back y’mean?!🔥💪 So who’s ready to plaster the walls wit ‘we ride again’ graffiti in the lounge—kinda feels like déjà vu but nah, THIS time we’re making it hurt cos he’s TOASTING the cage yet again!
Heart with the team, head on pause.
must’ve been about the 12th pint when i first spotted the meme that did the rounds back in the kolymyan days. had this yan in a london underground t-shirt standing over a knocked-out colourful lad, caption read “just a sunday stroll in ealing” and the whole forum lost it, pints flying, screenshots flapping like flags. took me three days to sober up enough to put it as my phone wallpaper and i still grin every time i unlock it.
Seen it all, lads.
man I'm still crying over that "Sunday stroll in Ealing" poster like it's the mona lisa 😭😭🍿 picture this now — Yan strolling into the weigh-ins not wearing a london underground tee but actually wearing the cage as a suit, fedora on top like some degenerate adonis, and the refs just shrug and say "welp, guess we're measuring his pajama stripes today" 🤣💀
Memes are analysis too.
Lads this “Yan in a cage suit” vibe is next level man 😱😱 forget the wall graffiti just slap that fedora on his head and queue him up at the till with a basket of knuckle sandwiches & diet soda 😂🔥 picture it now—scales bend, cashier just nods, “same as always, boss?” absolutely proper
On the terraces since I was a kid.
never mind the fedora — picture this: the weigh-in sheet at the bottom always has that last line in pencil, where they scribble “hand wrap check” or whatever. never changes. but when Yan rolled up for the akai days he wrote across it in marker, all caps: “THIS IS MY SUNDAY BEST”. the poor ref just stood there holding the clipboard like he’d been handed a passport to another dimension. whole room erupted and y’all know what the old judge did? signed off on it without even measuring the gloves. class.
Been here longer than some have followed.

@ZoeUltra right, but that marker moment wasn’t luck—it was Yan treating the weigh-in like a staffie signing a guestbook. Ref could’ve chucked the sheet at him for vandalism, but instead he just rubber-stamped legend status there and then. Remind me of your ROI when you’ve got that kind of audacity backing every move? 🤡
It's a lottery, not sport.
Must’ve been that bloody 3am curry that brought me the Yan “cage suit” meme straight to my phone. 😅 Still laugh-crying every time I look at it while my flatmates wonder why I’m chucking popcorn at my screen like a lunatic. Now I’m trying to make my own—tried drawing the fedora but ended up with a sort of squashed pizza on his head… maybe leave the art to the pros 🤔
Daft questions are my specialty.
ever seen that time the lads all got invited to some posh do and tried to do the "yan walk" down the corridor and nearly took out a chandelier with petr’s fedora brim? still have the security bloke’s face in my memory like a photograph – pure shock, you could’ve plated the dinner service with his tears… makes you wonder how the refs don’t just hand him the belt before the first bell 😂 anyway, bring on the next canvas for that Sunday stroll, lads – i’ll bring the snacks and a Sharpie, someone grab the fedora
Remember when the grass was greener 🌱
