'John W Henry never speaks publicly these days but there was once a point when Liverpool’s principal owner made waves with his words.
'This was the case on July 13, 2011 when Henry posted on what was then known as Twitter with the words: “A club’s best player has to be worth at least 10 per cent of your naming rights. Mr Wenger boldly says what everyone thinks.”
'Those final three words land with a different, heavier weight 15 years on. Initially, they were viewed as a rich man complaining that he could not get his own way and how Manchester City were incensed by his inference.'
But, @DKingTelegraph asks, did “what everyone thinks” get proven last Friday? ⤵️

How good was that run by the Irish 4x400m women?
That's the first time ever that a team has broken 3:20 and not won a medal in the event.
Their 3:19.90 would have been enough for silver in every Olympic final apart from 1988.
