Following Chelsea’s 74 alleged breaches of FA regulations, Everton have been docked 10 points.

@GregMerseyexile That AC Milan team in the 80s just produced class defender after class defender.

[Simon Banks @SimonBanks789]

One of the most gifted and grittiest centre backs I have ever seen (albeit on TV!).

[Fabrizio Romano @FabrizioRomano]

Sad news from Italy as Franco Baresi has passed away this morning at 66 years old.

An absolute legend of the game with AC Milan and Italy, marking an era for different generations.

Thoughts and prayers with the family and the friends.

Rest in peace, Franco. ❤️🕊️

Rock am Ring 2026. Thousands of voices, a huge day, and "Faster" hitting harder than ever. 🔥

There's nothing quite like this song live - the moment it kicks in, the whole field moves as one. We caught the full performance on camera so you can feel it too (or relive it, if you were there singing along with us).

Watch it now, and tell us: were you there? 👇

Team Kobbie

[𝗔𝗺𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗵𝗼 @Amad16FC]

Nice one, Kobbie, for sticking up for yourself.

I'm usually not a fan of player power, but he's totally in his right to refuse to play for Tuchel.

[Simon Banks @SimonBanks789]

No he isn’t. He is just fed up with Tuchel - as am l.

[Henry Winter @henrywinter]

Kobbie Mainoo ruled out of today's game with injury.

[(fan) Frank 🧠🇾🇪 @FrankEra_]

Hopefully Mainoo told Tuchel to ‘do one’ and is on the plane back to Manchester.

Really hope he’s not actually injured.

[SCOOP. @AcademyScoop]

After Ruben Amorim’s freezing-out of Kobbie Mainoo, and the rapid turnaround that followed under Michael Carrick - I didn’t think we’d see another manager overlook him in the same way, but here we are again.

I’ve put my feelings around Tuchel’s handling of Mainoo during this World Cup so far into words, for anyone who cares to read.

[Jonathan Pie @JonathanPieNews]

It only takes that one bad pint to give you the runs, so be extra careful out there kids.

[Stretford Paddock @StretfordPaddck]

Chalobah over Luke Shaw and Lewis Hall is unbelievable 💀

Winning the league in your last season isn't for everyone.

[SimplyUtd @SimplyUtd]

🤔 FUN FACT!

Referee Paul Tierney was the official for both matches!

That’s shameful from him and @premierleague @FA_PGMOL
