You just have to laugh at this point.
This World Cup year gimmick is genuinely the worst thing to have ever happened to football.
60 matches of club football thrown in the bin because of a 7 match tournament.
You might as well not even play club football in a world cup year then since it doesn’t count for anything.
Absolute disgrace of an award.
Unai Simon has won the Men's Goalkeeper of the Year award for 2026.
He beat his compatriot, David Raya, to the prize thanks to his efforts with Spain at the World Cup.
But Simon made a total of nine saves in eight games, which — as a body of work — surely does not outshine Raya's season for Arsenal.

Joe Cole twisting himself in knots defending Manchester City on TNT Sports now is bizarre.
Trying to downplay a guilty verdict by suggesting it isn’t cheating compared to Match Fixing or doping is insane.
I think he genuinely doesn’t get the severity of what City have done.

They consider the Premier League’s actions to have an influence on the bilateral state relationship, the people said, asking not to be identified discussing undisclosed information
The extraordinary pressure comes after Andy Burnham faced criticism, including from within government, for saying Man City’s Abu Dhabi owners should not be disqualified specifically because of the investment they bring to Britain

So the same ref has made the exact same ‘error’ twice now. Both directly benefiting the club thats owner employed him to referee abroad for huge money? 😂
A technical area yellow for Arteta, denying Arsenal a corner before half, Sunderland taking five minutes per throw-in, phantom penalty on a shirt pull ... from Ballard. You'll rarely witness such committed #NarrativeRefereeing.
Amount of rats on the TL begging Odegaard again like they weren’t tearing him to pieces this past year for not being at 100% is vile. This is the best midfielder in the league. He doesn’t need your fake love. 👍
Kai Hazertz's goal for Arsenal against Chelsea yesterday is the only Premier League goal scored so far in 2026-27 to have involved a passing move including all 11 players on a team.
