Harry Kane definitely looks like a victim of the crime

The world Cup has started with an opening ceremony in Mexico, as presumably they couldn't guarantee a flag-bearer from every country making it through US immigration

Hosting the World Cup or any Fifa tournament has generally involved a guarantee of freedom of movement for all participating teams and staff. Note how it simply wasn’t an issue at recent World Cups

It is scandalous it has got to this

Weakest Premier League in years, they said #Arsenal 🏆

Still the best moment ever

[When Football Was Better @FootballInT80s]

“It’s up for grabs now…”

THE most exciting and significant end to a top-flight season ever happened on 26/05/1989.

Liverpool, the champions, the masters, at home to Arsenal — the new kids on the block. No title for 18 years, George Graham’s young team with no fear.

All Kenny Dalglish’s men had to do to win yet another title was avoid defeat by two clear goals at Anfield to their rivals.

To put that into context, no team had won at Anfield by two clear goals since Everton in February 1986 — three years earlier.

As injury time ebbed away, Arsenal were one up through an Alan Smith goal. Surely time had run out?
