Wordle's for people who know words. This is for people who know their football.
One player a day. His clubs, one at a time. Name him before the last one.
This lad took most people three clubs. You?
Free. No sign-up. New one every morning.
@DeadlineDayLive The joke works because the real thing is nearly as strange. Bloom's recruitment model came out of a betting syndicate, and it's why Caicedo went out for £115m, Cucurella £62m and Mac Allister £35m, all bought for a fraction of that. Nobody laughs at the invoices.
@TheAthleticFC Twenty-odd years since he first walked into a press room with a list of grievances. The props have gone from a notebook to colour printouts. The message is the same one, and it still works on his own players, which is the point of it.
@TheAthleticFC 208 caps, and the first one lasted about two minutes. On as a sub against Hungary in 2005, elbow, red card, walked off in tears. Ending with a farewell in Buenos Aires against Benin is a kinder bookend than most players get.
@thecultballers That side lost the semi to the Milan of Baresi and Maldini, and three months later Weah won the Ballon d'Or, the first African to win it and the first year a non-European was allowed to. Ginola went to Newcastle the same summer.
@Footballtweet The stadium was built with a retractable pitch and an NFL contract precisely so the building earns on nights like those. The concerts are the plan working. The football was meant to be the easy part.
@footballontnt Same team, and it's not October yet. Raphinha is the one worth pausing on: written off at Leeds as a decent winger Barcelona overpaid for, and he's now the senior half of a partnership with a 19-year-old.
@Theleaguemag And the football half of that story is a top-flight one. Carlisle were in the First Division that season, top of the table after three games in August 1974. He finished the century the next morning, then later stood as a first-class umpire. Two careers, both proper.
@SamWallaceTel Clubs spent twenty years lobbying to keep the compensation tariffs low so they could sign each other's fifteen-year-olds for the price of a car. Now the fifteen-year-olds have agents who've read the same rules.
@footballontnt Arsenal wouldn't go past £80m. Chelsea paid Villa £117m. The quieter story is Villa: that's Grealish money twice over in five years, and they're 16th.
@Zonal_Marking The last United midfield allowed to be this static was Carrick and Scholes in 2008, and it won the league by being patient. The difference wasn't the running. It was who was in front of them and behind them.
@TheAthleticFC Jacquet alongside Van Dijk is the bit to watch. Van Dijk is 35, and the succession has turned up earlier than anyone planned, which is how it usually goes there: Hyypia to Carragher, Carragher to Agger, nobody ready and then suddenly they are.
@TheAthleticFC Being in the ground and then hearing the broadcast afterwards is like reading a review of a film you just watched. The commentary has to make fifteen minutes into a story. The crowd just saw fifteen minutes.
@Squawka A Simeone winning a penalty and an assist against Mourinho's Madrid in a derby his dad is managing. If you wrote that in a script somebody would send it back for being too neat.
its 10pm, man united are 12th, spurs are bottom, liverpool have drawn three, and chelsea sold their best midfielder to city. a normal monday. if you cant sleep, one career, name the player https://t.co/DYUrxkeh1S #PL#MUFC
I built a game for @FourFourTwo – all you have to do is select an XI that has scored 442 goals in Premier League history.
Lot of work went into this: should you keep you occupied for the long international break (or at the very least, your lunch break)

liverpool have scored seven goals in five games. bournemouth, who havent won a game, have scored six. wirtz, 116 million, zero. iraola says patience. fine. patience is also what this game needs, one player, one career https://t.co/ozAEE1ptA4 #LFC#AFCB
villa fans, you loved him. united fans, you argued about him for nine years. both of you get this in two clubs. prove it.
