I’m writing Telegraph Sport's FREE briefing for next 3 days. Tomorrow’s will cover Isak’s hat-trick*, England’s win in Pakistan **, & fall-out from Man City being given 40 point deduction for next 8 years*** (possibly, probably & ‘if only’). Sign up here.

Lisandro Martinez column!
🔴 his outburst was because he’s not been offered a contract & wants out 👍
🔴If MU fans agree with him, is it ok for DOF to publicly question his performances 🤔
🔴No back up at ST & LB, who is City’s back up for Haaland & RB 🤷‍♂️

This will probably be Man City’s last league game at Anfield for a few years, but that means there’s no excuses going forward for Liverpool, Man Utd & Chelsea!

Not everyone is ‘doing the Poznan’ & turning their backs on Man City. One National League North club would welcome them to the 6th tier...
Many disillusioned PL fans have discovered a trip to Marine FC restores hope all is not lost for the game.

Having seen so much reaction to the City verdict over the weekend, not least from hard-of-thinking Man City fans, the verdict has been official since last Tuesday. City ARE guilty.

All and any sentiments along the lines of “let’s wait until the process is over” are ignorant.

New Blood Red out now. I wrote about the 25th anniversary of the great Gérard Houllier being taken ill at Anfield, speaking to @Carra23 and Mark Waller – the LFC doc who helped save the boss. @_ChrisBascombe kindly offered his reflections & sourced insight from @themichaelowen

@raystubbs A pleasure Ray 👍👍

Enormous pleasure having a pint with (& interviewing) legendary ex-BBC broadcaster Ray Stubbs & hearing his many tales involving Maradona, Best, Shankly, Gazza & the legendary Eagle Sunday League team. Someone ought to give him a book deal (or podcast)

Then City bought Mahrez and Chelsea bought Kante, and that was that for Leicester.

"But we're the opposition to the cartel".

Good grief.

Pound for pound, who are the best recruiters in the football business? Brighton? Brentford? Liverpool? (circa 2015-24)... actually, there's a strong argument that it's non-league Boreham Wood. https://t.co/tjfSmsJiLF

First time LFC have kept three consecutive clean sheets in Premier League since the start of Arne Slot’s reign in Aug/Sep 2024.

@RedTitanium12 Arguably the best pressing performance by an lfc attacker since prime Firmino.

Lewis Koumas with a fantastic imitation of Adam Lallana at White Hart Lane in October 2015 - Klopp’s first game. Iraola can show the video clips to his front three & say ‘that’s the standard…’
