Marko Arnautovic was on fire for Stoke against Man City for the Saturday lunchtime kickoff.
Not only did the Australian striker score a brace within 16 minutes – causing my fantasy league managers to rue the fact they didn’t pick him – but he was a constant menace throughout the game.
With the supreme talents of Xherdan Shaqiri, Bojan Krkic and Ibrahim Afellay buzzed around him, the big centre-forward was in his element.
Certainly the viewing public were wowed by his performance…

However, his many new admirers were less impressed with another part of the 26-year-old’s makeup. Specifically the ridiculous part of him that sits on top of his head.
Stoke’s goalscoring hero insists on wearing his flowing locks in a neat knot at the crown of his dome, and not everyone is impressed…
Arnautovic has a top knot for fuck sake

Arnautovic would've had his hat trick by now if he didn't have that fucking abomination that is a man bun on his head.

The tiny amount of weight in Arnautovic's bun out him off balance to hit the post, it's the fractional amounts that make pro football

Arnautovic overcomes the most pathetic man-bun in history, a tougher triumph than the Man City defense.
