🚨Norwich head coach Philippe Clement on Manchester City’s 5-0 win over Norwich:

🗣️ Philippe Clement: “The scoreline says 5-0, but honestly, I think we could have lost by more because tonight we didn’t face a million-pound team. We faced a team full of outstanding youngsters.

When we saw the lineup and Bouaddi and Kovacic were starting, we thought, ‘Okay, maybe we can make this uncomfortable for them.’ We saw what they did to Manchester United with 10 men, and we saw Enzo, Anderson and Semenyo with Haaland not starting. We felt relieved and thought we had escaped a beating.

Our idea was to be aggressive on Kovacic, stop him turning and force Bouaddi to play under pressure. We wanted to attack the physical side of the midfield and make City uncomfortable in the first phase.

Then the game starts and a 17-year-old Samba picks up the ball, drives forward with no fear and finishes with that kind of confidence. I think he watched Max Dowman’s performance against Arsenal, then saw the wonder goal Shea Lacey scored for Manchester United and decided to end the conversation. And he certainly did.

I looked at my staff and thought, ‘Okay, we’re going to have a long night.’

Because that goal changed the feeling of the game. Suddenly City had confidence, their midfield started finding the spaces between our lines, and every time we tried to press one player, another player appeared in the space we had left.

We tried to close the centre, they went wide. We pushed wide, they found the half-spaces. We dropped deeper, they controlled the ball and waited for the next opening.

That is what makes them so difficult.

And Allan… what can I say? I was a huge fan of him at Palmeiras. Tonight I thought, ‘I’m going to enjoy watching this kid.’

I just didn’t expect to be the victim of his performance.

He used tonight as an opportunity to show everyone what a beautiful talent he is.

For us, it was a lesson.

You think you have a plan to stop Manchester City, then they show you another player, another movement, another solution.

That is the difference between facing a good team and facing a team full of outstanding youngsters.”

.@DiMarzio: “I smiled a little bitterly at the reconstructions Chelsea made [on Enzo Maresca in their statement]. They imposed a version of the story you will all have clearly understood did not happen.

“City had to pay a whopping €20M to release Maresca and make him manager. Chelsea insisted on a reconstruction of the story, making it seem Maresca caused damage to the club, only thinking about Manchester City, by resigning he created problems for the club, and all these various reconstructions tell a distorted truth.

“Chelsea is in a very particular situation where the manager can’t always act with complete autonomy and independence, and that’s what happened with Enzo Maresca, who at a certain point had to say enough because the situation was unbearable.

“Now the whole thing has been twisted to try to get out of it cleanly with the fans, but everyone in the know knows the truth isn’t what was told by the power of a press release and money…” [via @tuttonapoli/@Sport_Witness]

@bt_uk could you kindly tell me why you've cut us off 3 days before the date we gave you for our move, then your guides speak to me like I'm a moron because they can't fix the problem they created? Absolute joke this morning with no resolution in sight.

I can't believe it, man. My heart can't take this. My soul can't take it, Pep.

I love you honestly, probably more than any human being ever has. I'm a grown man and I'm actually crying right now. Jesus, man... you're really leaving.

You came here when we were still trying to figure things out, and you gave us everything. Every trophy, every memory, every bit of pride. You made us believe we belonged at the top not as visitors, but as champions.

You changed the whole feel of the club. You defended us when everyone laughed. You stayed when leaving would've been easier. You gave us your best years, your smartest ideas, your whole heart.

And now you're going.

I'm not ready to say goodbye. I don't think I ever will be. But I'll be grateful forever that you chose us.

Farewell, Pep. Farewell. I love you so much, man.

Man. 💙😭🙏

[Geronimo Morgans @GeronimoMorgans]

you changed my life Pep. you made me fall in love with this game in ways i never thought possible. you put my club on the map and kept us there. you made the whole world stop and pay attention to Manchester City Football Club, a club that for so long was the punchline of every joke, the afterthought in every conversation about English football’s elite.

i grew up watching you dismantle the greatest teams in the world with nothing but a whiteboard, an obsession and a vision that nobody else on this earth could see as clearly as you could. you made football feel like art. like poetry. like something worth dedicating your entire emotional existence to. you made the beautiful game feel genuinely, breathtakingly beautiful again.

i remember the early days. the nervousness of wondering whether this was real. whether this level of football was actually sustainable. whether a club like ours could truly compete with the giants of europe year after year. and then you answered every single question we ever had. not once. not twice. but relentlessly. season after season. trophy after trophy. record after record.

you gave us an identity. a way of playing the game that the entire world tried to copy and nobody, nobody, could ever truly replicate. you gave us a way of seeing football that we will carry for the rest of our lives long after the final whistle of your last game has faded into silence.

you gave a fanbase that spent decades being overlooked, underestimated and mocked a reason to walk with their chests out. a reason to believe that greatness wasn’t reserved for the historically privileged. that it could be built. that it could be earned. that it could belong to us.
i’m torn apart. genuinely shattered. i knew this day was coming and i still wasn’t remotely ready for it.

no amount of emotional preparation could ever make a goodbye like this feel okay. there is a version of me that will never fully accept that you are gone.

you gave me some of the greatest nights of my life. nights i will describe to my children and my grandchildren. nights where time stood still and football felt like it meant everything because in those moments, it did. the treble. the centurion season. the fourmidables, the comebacks. the masterclasses. the moments of tactical genius so extraordinary that even your opponents stood and applauded.

i don’t deserve this pain. none of us do. but i suppose that is the price you pay for loving something this deeply. for allowing a human being to walk into your life through the medium of football and change the way you see the world.

you are the greatest manager this sport has ever produced. not just in my opinion. in history. and history (unlike football’s fickle supporters) never forgets.

thank you Pep. from the very bottom of everything i am. from every early kick off. every late night. every moment of pure footballing joy you gave me that i will treasure until my last breath.

go well gaffer. go well. the game will never be the same without you. Manchester City Football Club will never be the same without you. 🩵🙏

[CentreGoalHQ @centreGoalHQ]

🚨🎙️ John Terry:

“Honestly, what happened in the Arsenal F.C. vs West Ham United F.C. game yesterday is embarrassing for the Premier League. I’ve watched football for years and some of the decisions going Arsenal F.C.’s way recently have been shocking. It feels like every single week there’s some sort of controversy and people are just expected to stay quiet about it.

If Arsenal F.C. end up winning the league playing like this and benefiting from these situations, it genuinely could go down as one of the weakest and most controversial title wins we’ve seen in Premier League history. Champions are supposed to dominate and earn respect not leave fans debating refereeing decisions every week.

I’m sure Manchester City F.C., Liverpool F.C. and even neutral fans are looking at this and thinking something isn’t right. You can’t keep rewarding performances like that and expect people not to question the integrity of the league.”

[Vfynn_🥷🏼 𐙚 @Vfynn_]

🚨🎙️| Jamie Carragher says this Arsenal side is one of the least convincing teams ever to go on and win a Premier League title in history:

🗣️“People are trying to convince me this Arsenal side are one of the great Premier League champions? Give me a break.

I’m watching this team every single week and honestly, they might be one of the least convincing title-winning sides we’ve seen in years. Everything is robotic. Everything is rehearsed. If the set pieces don’t work, they genuinely struggle to create anything consistently from open play against deep blocks.

Look at the numbers. Corners, free kicks, deflections, VAR interventions, that’s been the story of their season. They’ve basically turned football into an NFL training session. Fair play to Nicolas Jover because he’s probably been their most important attacking player this year without even stepping onto the pitch.

And then there’s the VAR decisions. Every single big moment seems to go Arsenal’s way. Marginal offsides? Arsenal benefit. Soft contact in the box? Arsenal benefit. Goals checked for five minutes until they find a reason to disallow it? Arsenal benefit. Fans of other clubs are watching this thinking: ‘How many lifelines are these lot gonna get?’

People talk about dominance, what dominance? I’ve seen better football from teams that finished 3rd or 4th. When City were winning titles, they suffocated teams with quality. Liverpool at their peak overwhelmed teams with intensity. Even Chelsea under Mourinho had personality and control.

This Arsenal team? It’s corners and controversy.

And the scary thing is, Arsenal fans are acting like this is an all-time great side when half their big wins this season came from dead-ball situations and chaotic VAR moments that completely killed games for opponents.

You know what happens when the officiating balance swings the other way next season? We’ll see the truth very quickly.

Because if you remove the set-piece dependency and the constant controversy surrounding decisions, I genuinely don’t think this team wins the league.

That’s why for me, if they do finish top, they’ll go down as one of the weakest Premier League champions in the modern era. Effective? Maybe. Entertaining? Absolutely not. Dominant? Not even close.”

🚨🎙️| Joe Hart on West Ham’s disallowed equalizer vs Arsenal, accuses VAR of saving Arsenal’s title hopes:

🗣️“Listen, I don’t care what anyone says, that goal should’ve stood. VAR has absolutely ruined moments like that. West Ham fought for that equalizer and somehow they’ve found a way to disallow it for the softest little touch you’ll ever see. If that’s Arsenal scoring at the Emirates, nobody even checks it for more than five seconds.

And this is what frustrates fans, Arsenal have lived off those scrappy, aggressive goals all season. Blocking keepers, crowding the six-yard box, little nudges here and there… suddenly when it happens against them, it’s ‘clear and obvious.’ Give me a break.

I was a goalkeeper, I know when a keeper’s genuinely impeded and when he’s looking for help. There’s no way you can tell me that was enough contact for the goal to be overturned. The game’s gone soft. West Ham have been robbed, simple as that.

You wonder why fans think certain clubs get favourable decisions because moments like this keep happening. Arsenal are in a title race and somehow every 50/50 call seems to land their way. That equalizer changes the whole atmosphere of the game and VAR bottled it. Absolutely bottled it.”

[Geronimo Morgans @GeronimoMorgans]

“Arsenal have been blocking the opponent’s goalkeeper all season long, they would NEVER be on top of the league if we disallow these goals!”

Peter Schmeichel thank you for calling them out. have your cheating title VARSENAL. 👏

[Geronimo Morgans @GeronimoMorgans]

there is something deeply broken in a person who looks at a footballer/a human being who has dedicated every waking moment of his life to perfecting his craft, who bleeds for his club, who carries the weight of an entire fanbase on his shoulders and sees nothing more than the colour of his skin.

football has always been the beautiful game. the one sport that transcends borders, languages, cultures and backgrounds. the one arena where a boy from the streets of Accra, the hills of Kingston or the suburbs of London can stand on the same pitch and be judged purely on what his feet can do. that is the promise of football. that is the soul of it.

and yet.

and yet there are those who sit in stadiums, behind screens, in the comfort of anonymity, and reduce a man’s entire existence to something he was born with and had no choice in. they hurl abuse at players who have more courage, more character and more dignity in one training session than these cowards will ever possess in a lifetime. they mistake their hatred for passion. they confuse their ignorance for opinion. they are neither fans nor supporters. they are a stain on the fabric of this sport.

to be subjected to racism after a difficult moment in a game (after a moment where the pressure of an entire season rested on your shoulders) is one of the cruelest things this sport can produce. because football breaks your heart sometimes. it humbles you. it brings you to your knees. and in those moments what every player deserves is grace, understanding and humanity. not hatred. never hatred.
these men are not symbols. they are not targets. they are human beings. sons. brothers. fathers. dreamers who dared to believe in themselves when the world told them otherwise. and they will rise again. they always do. because that is what greatness does… it gets back up.

racism has no place in football. racism has no place anywhere. and anyone who thinks otherwise can take their hatred and bury it where it belongs.

in the past. in the dirt. in the silence of history’s most shameful chapters.
we will not be moved.

Matheus Luiz Nunes.

Best right-back in the league this season and it's not even close.

From being a line-breaking midfielder at Sporting and Wolves to adapting across multiple roles: winger, occasional central midfielder, and now a genuinely elite right-back. The criticism he faced was relentless. But he took it. Improved. And he's still getting better every single game.

He accepted the role with both hands, looked himself in the mirror, and decided: “I'm going to be the best at this.” And he has been.

The overlaps are sharp, well-timed, purposeful. The way he linked up with Semenyo down that right axis was so brilliant. Defensively, his timing in 1v1s has grown immensely. He holds his own when doubled up, stays composed, and his recovery pace in transition is a weapon.

He's been reliable when it mattered most. Present in every big moment. One of the three most important players this season, without question.

There's no trophy lift without the work he's put in, week after week, in a position he had to learn from scratch.

Respect the name. Respect the journey.

Matheus Luiz Nunes, you've changed our lives, son. 💙🇵🇹
