@AnthonyTeasdale Flying home and taking my mum to see him at the arena in Liverpool before she passed is one of the greatest honours of my life. Seen him twice on two sides of the world but that night I’ll treasure forever.

Liverpool fans and Ronald Araujo:

Never give up! What a night at Anfield 🏟️🤩🔴

@MailSport Reckon the word buy, might be doing some really heavy lifting there.

@liamgallagher Yeah mate, nothing says rising all boats like making the transfer and wages market totally out of reach for ambitious clubs. #stopcryingyourheartout

If you still think that Reform is a serious party, then you are not SERIOUS. A few months ago they said they won’t guarantee the TRIPLE LOCK because the country can’t afford it. Today they are all out saying they will guarantee it. LIARS, they will say anything for votes.

Manchester City owners’ damaging strategy of appeal, deny and delay will inflict untold damage on countless people. It will inflict damage on this season’s Premier League which is effectively on hold with an unpunished City still involved. It inflicts further damage on the reputation of the world’s most popular sports league. It casts a cloud over the league for seasons to come, for as long as they drag the sport through the courts which they could do.

City owners’ refusal to accept responsibility in the face of overwhelming evidence against them further hardens anger towards the club. The strategy inflicts further damage on a 146-year-old club whose reputation was made by the honest endeavour and thrilling football of that outstanding team of the late 60s and 70s. The actions of City’s current owners risk trashing a historic club’s reputation.

Appeal, deny, delay inflicts further turmoil on the lives of their supporters. City fans’ innate defiance may waver when getting called cheat relentlessly. City fans didn’t cheat. Their club owners did with “sham contracts”, according to the findings of a long, forensic review by an independent commission. But it is City fans facing the consequences of their owners’ book-cookery – in the stands, on the streets, at work. A storm of scorn.

Do City owners also not think of their head coach, Enzo Maresca, and how every press conference will be an inquisition? Every player interview? Every arrival at an away stadium?

Do they not think of all the vital work done by City in the Community, the club’s charitable wing currently trying to celebrate 40 years of helping disadvantaged local people, and how their conduct impacts that?

Appeal, deny, delay damages Abu Dhabi’s own reputation. Do they actually care about football? About pressure on innocent, hard-working staff? About integrity? City’s owners have done plenty of good in East Manchester but that work now seems tainted.

Do they not care about the millions of people in this country who love football. Some may now, because of sham contracts and appeal, deny, delay, simply turn away from the national sport?

Do the owners worry about the UAE’s image? The behaviour of City’s owners is now a diplomatic issue between the UK and the UAE. And good luck to our new ambassador to the UAE, Geraldine McCafferty, who took up the position last month and will need all her diplomatic skills acquired in Sarajevo, Bogota and Beijing.

If they had a shred of responsibility, City owners would call off the lawyers, accept the independent commission’s findings, take the punishment and seek some settlement with the Premier League over compensation to other clubs. Appeal, deny, delay helps nobody.

@hct2906 They are not reducing the pension for goodness sake! Why is everyone chatting like it is?

Manchester United to sell 7cm squares of Old Trafford grass for £125 each.

Should be noted that last week most of the pitch was owned by Pascal Gross.

Barack Obama at his last press briefing with reporters, 2017:

"I have enjoyed working with all of you. That does not, of course, mean that I've enjoyed every story that you have filed, but that's the point of this relationship. You're not supposed to be sycophants. You're supposed to be skeptics. You're supposed to ask me tough questions. You're not supposed to be complimentary, but you're supposed to cast a critical eye on folks who hold enormous power."

Job done on the road 🙌

I know it’s wrong to get attached but I love him already 😫

[The Athletic | Football @TheAthleticFC]

Liverpool haven’t had much luck with loan signings over the years.

Liverpool gambled when they decided not to buy a right-back this summer, but Ronald Araujo has quietened the noise.

If he continues in the way he has started after moving to Anfield for the season from Barcelona, he will buck the trend, writes @JamesPearceLFC ⬇️

“The silence on Middlesbrough is deafening.”

9 people killed! 2 serving policemen dead.

A little girl of 7 years old burned alive.

Gang warfare.

Extra police flooding in.

No “pure, cold rage” from Farage. No Reform roadshow.

That phrase only comes out when the offenders look a certain way.

@HLTCO I have all the Amstell series of buzzcocks, and they never fail to make me laugh. Fair play to the blues for that one 😂
