It’s the Carabao Cup game week and we just want to send a shoutout to Fleetwood Football Club. We thank you for your services and wish you well in all your endeavours.
England league rankings:
1. Premier League
2. Championship
3. League one
4. League two
Fleetwood are 18th in league two, they just knocked out Arsenal 😭
When Grimsby Town beat Manchester United in the EFL Cup last year, they sat 4th in the League Two table.
When Fleetwood beat Arsenal in the EFL Cup tonight, they sat 18th in the League Two table.
Arsenal's humiliation somehow an even worse loss than United's. Wow.
The entire Fleetwood starting XI plus their reserve team combined cost less than Viktor Gyokeres. The question is, has Gyokeres finally found his level?
Solskjaer wanted Haaland, they got him Ighalo.
Solskjaer wanted Bellingham, they got him Van de Beek.
Ten Hag wanted Kane, they spent £72m on Højlund.
Ten Hag wanted Rice, they got him Eriksen.
Ten Hag wanted Joao Neves, they spent £50.8m on Ugarte, while PSG used the money from Neves’ sale to get Joao Neves.
Amorim wanted Watkins, they spent £73.7m on Sesko.
This summer, we had Elliot Anderson as priority, we ended up spending £55M on Andrey Santos.
The problem has never been solely on the managers. The biggest issues lie with the owners and the board, whose lack of ambition and incompetence continue to hold this club back.
Until those running the club get their act together, we’ll keep sacking managers, repeating the same mistakes and expecting different results.

Rasmus Højlund did the SUIIII celebration and pushed Jorge Jesus away. Bro represented every Ronaldo fanboy last night. Whatever you did before, Rasmus, your sins were forgiven.
If Hojlund has a million fans, I’m one of them
If Hojlund has 10 fans, I’m one of them
If Hojlund has 1 fan, it’s me
If Hojlund has no fans, then I don’t exist anymore
If the world is against Hojlund, then I’m against the world
MY FUCKING GOAT‼️‼️
🚨Luis Nani on the controversy between Jorge Jesus and Cristiano Ronaldo:
🗣️ Luis Nani: “I spoke to Cristiano after everything happened, and I asked him one question: ‘Brother, are you really leaving Portugal like this?’
“He didn’t answer immediately.
“He just said, ‘Nani, you know me. I can accept being left out. I can accept criticism. What I cannot accept is feeling like everything I’ve given Portugal suddenly means nothing.’
“That sentence stayed with me.
“Because I know Cristiano. I’ve shared a dressing room with him since we were young. I know how competitive he is. If the coach tells him, ‘Cristiano, you’re not playing tonight because I have another tactical plan,’ he might be angry, but he’ll understand.
“But if you make him feel unwanted, that’s different.
“I reminded him of Euro 2016. I reminded him of all the times we travelled together, the nights we suffered, the games where Portugal needed one moment and he gave it to us.
“He just said, ‘Nani, I never asked Portugal to play me because of what I did before. I only wanted them to respect what I can still give.’
“And honestly, that broke something in me.
“Because that’s the Cristiano I know.
“He doesn’t want a favour.
“He doesn’t want people to put him on the pitch because his name is Ronaldo.
“He wants to know that when Portugal calls him, they still believe he can contribute.
“I told him, ‘Maybe Jorge is trying to build the next Portugal. Maybe he wants the younger players to take responsibility.’
“He said, ‘Then let them. I will never stop them. But don’t build the future by disrespecting the past.’
“That was when I realised this wasn’t really about one game or one benching.
“It was about communication.
“You can tell Cristiano, ‘Your role has changed.’
“You can tell him, ‘You’re not going to play every match.’
“You can even tell him, ‘There are games where we need younger legs.’
“But you have to look him in the eyes and tell him the truth.
“Because Cristiano can handle the truth.
“I remember when we were young, we used to argue about everything. Football, training, who was better, who should take the free-kick. [laughs]
“But even then, I knew one thing about him.
“He would rather hear something painful from a friend than something comfortable from somebody who doesn’t mean it.
“So when I saw him leave the Portugal camp, I didn’t immediately ask, ‘What did Cristiano do?’
“I asked, ‘What happened between two people who should have been able to solve this inside the dressing room?’
“Because this isn’t just a player and a coach anymore.
“This is Cristiano Ronaldo and Portugal.
“And after everything he has given that shirt, if this really is the beginning of the end, then I hope they find a way to end it with respect.
“Cristiano doesn’t need Portugal to protect his legacy.
Portugal needs to remember that it was privileged to have Cristiano Ronaldo protecting its shirt for more than two decades.”
