Corentin Moutet is my new favourite tennis player

[Darren Plant @Dazman5]

Not the first time that I have said/will say this, but Nicolas Jackson was only missing a goal tonight. Very encouraging performance for Senegal against two of the world's best centre-backs.

Xabi Alonso simply must keep him at Chelsea next season.

New Wolves boss Cesar Peixoto is being built up as this up-and-coming top Portuguese coach.

- He's lost 71 of his 164 matches as a manager
- Never lasted longer than 46 games (current one) in one job across eight roles.
- His teams have conceded more than scored on six occasions

[Darren Plant @Dazman5]

I genuinely feel outraged with Wolves' decision to sack Rob Edwards.

The timing. His involvement in all club media with the Trippier, Jimenez signings. Going behind his back. Peixoto not deserving the job. Surely Trippier didn't know?

That's not Wolves.

[Brendan Boyle @BrendyBoyle]

I love the angle taken by @kenearlys on the Champions League final.

He’s absolutely right to dedicate so much time to how Arsenal waste time 🗑️

The drinking water and human life lines 🤣

[MAH @matissearmani]

Madueke was fighting Palmer for penalty against Everton at 4-0 but didn’t step up before Gabriel in a Champions League Final HMMMMMMMMM.

[Second Tier podcast @secondtierpod]

Thinking back to the moment the Southampton press officer told a Boro reporter to "show some respect" after asking Tonda Eckert if he's a cheat.

Whoof.

[Chris Lepkowski (new account) @_ChrisLepkowski]

"...There have been the patronising micro-aggressions of Southampton’s media team, directing smarmy ire at any journalist who deigned to fulfil their professional obligation to question the club on the allegations..."

Well said Josh. Good piece.

[Fried Egg Golf @fried_egg_golf]

.@TrevorImmelman on Aaron Rai's closing stretch at the PGA Championship on today's Fried Egg Golf Podcast:

"I really hope that people in the coming weeks, and months, and years appreciate the greatness of that stretch of golf.

"If Tiger had done that, if Rory had done that, if Rahm or Scheffler or any of the guys that we love to root for had done that, we would've been fainting from excitement, and talking about 'This is why these guys are so good. This is why they're the best players in the world. This is why they're multiple major champions. These guys just have another gear to get it done.'

I really do hope that Aaron Rai gets that same respect."

[Luke Edwards @LukeEdwardsTele]

Southampton told Dom to show some respect. They showed Middlesbrough none. They tried to belittle a journalist for asking a question they didn’t want to answer. They lost on both fronts

[Darren Plant @Dazman5]

No red card for this is as crazy as Joao Pedro not being selected for Brazil's World Cup squad.

[Football on TNT Sports @footballontnt]

Kai Havertz got away with this tackle AFTER a VAR check 👀😶

[Darren Plant @Dazman5]

Liam Delap has failed to score in 20 Chelsea appearances under Liam Rosenior.

Marc Guiu has remained as an unused substitute on 16 occasions, and has featured just twice since scoring and assisting against Charlton in Rosenior's first game.

It's absolutely mind-boggling.

[Darren Plant @Dazman5]

And it continues.

[Darren Plant @Dazman5]

Luke Littler has, very quickly, become unbearable.

[Darren Plant @Dazman5]

James Wade once said to me "shut it, four eyes" when he mistakenly thought that I had booed him.

My mom is now shouting for him in a major final because she doesn't like Luke Littler's arrogance 😅.

[Darren Plant @Dazman5]

Declan Rice at 32:01: 'Boys, boys, come here. Let's focus'.

Then, 102 seconds later, a Declan Rice mistake leads to a Spurs goal 😂.

[Darren Plant @Dazman5]

If Eddie Howe does not (finally) introduce some of Newcastle United's academy players when 5-0 up at half time against Qarabag, the club may as well get rid of the academy.
