π¨ Manchester City verbal proposal to Nottingham Forest for Elliot Anderson was worth Β£106m + add-ons, taking it above Β£120m. #NFFC want British record fee guaranteed, not after bonuses. No fresh talks with #MCFC over 23yo England midfielder @TheAthleticFC https://t.co/DdanEQcqnz
I do find the reaction to the CL final yday interesting. Have seen so many comments about how if Arsenal went out there and tried to play football they would have got murdered. Possibly. Who knows. We know Arteta certainly wasnt going to try.
Arsenal have played this horrendous brand of football all season long. It wasnβt a new style for this game. It was just exacerbated by game state and opposition. 24.7% possession says everything. This is the worst team I have seen for playing style relative to their resources. Ever.
This Arsenal team wasnβt going in as some plucky underdog. They have just won the PL ffs. They have spent over a billion pounds since Arteta has been at the club. They should be able to impose their own style on the game. This is meant to be an elite team. They play as if they are a League 2 team up against a top 6 team in the FA Cup. Some plucky underdog.
They had a set of fixtures from the gods in this tournament. I would be shocked if it isnβt the easiest run to a final in the modern era.
I understand winning is all that seemingly counts. Surely there will come a time and point where Arsenal fans want a little bit more given the resources Arteta has had available to him.

An Independent Disciplinary Commission has today expelled Southampton from the Sky Bet Championship Play-Offs after the Club admitted to multiple breaches of EFL Regulations related to the unauthorised filming of other Clubsβ training.
In addition, the Club has received a four-point deduction that will be applied to the 2026/27 Championship table.
The effect of todayβs order is that Middlesbrough are reinstated into the 2026 Play-Offs and will proceed to the Play-Off Final against Hull City. The final remains scheduled for Saturday 23 May, with the kick-off time to be confirmed.

Do not support The Overlap or anything to do with Gary Neville or Roy Keane. Remember their priorities.
I can't think of a more jarring transformation from what they were as players to who they are as people. Keane is so bitter & twisted by his club experience it defines who he is now. Neville is nothing but a corporate shill.
They are both a disgrace. For their influence on fans who cannot think for themselves & turn to them for their opinions, to the way they treat the players who are now in the position they used to be in themselves.
Both have forgotten where they've come from & become pundits who they'd have once loathed.
A six-minute VAR delay with 25 replays to decide which of the multiple set-piece wrestling manoeuvres was clearly and obviously worthy of punishment. A fittingly decisive moment for the 2025-26 Premier League season.
