OUR AZZURRINI ARE CHAMPIONS OF EUROPE! 🏆🇮🇹

Much talk of Como’s European permutations. After hours of research into h2h records, 4-way & 3-way mini leagues, it’s as simple as this.

Beat Cremonese tonight, & if one of Milan or Roma fail to win, they get UCL. 🏆

I’m on comms for Serie A from 20.40CET.

@rossmediauk Absolutely! 👍

[Thomas Holmes Reed @tomholmesreed]

Barton, McClaren and now Rashford.

People poke fun but If you haven’t lived in a foreign country or genuinely tried to integrate, you will never understand.

Making yourself comprehensible is the first stage of integration, and often, it does sound odd to people back home.

Did an English boy just say “I don’t score any”😂😂

He’s taken so much Spanish lessons, he’s losing his English😂😂

He’s literally speaking like a Spaniard

My pleasure to commentate on what might be the start of a prosperous career.

WHAT A START FOR CAGLIARI 🇮🇹

On his first start in Serie A, Paul Mendy puts his club ahead of Atalanta less than 20 seconds in 🤯

It’s the ultimate form of self-deprecation, it was written 30 years ago about us being shit and is still being sung 30 years later because we’ve failed to win anything. It’s the opposite of arrogance, it’s about the triumph of hope over likely failure. It’s not hard to get.

[Geronimo Morgans @GeronimoMorgans]

The most overrated right-back in the world.

For years, we’ve been he is a generational talent. A revolutionary full‑back. A playmaker from deep. An “assist machine.” But peel back the layers, and what do you actually get? A defensively fragile player whose so‑called “world‑class” passing is often masked by systems (defensive) covering for his weaknesses.

He’s a liability. Positionally unaware, easily turned, and consistently exposed in 1v1s. Wingers don't fear him (they target him). Errors/mistakes, the number of goals his teams concede from that is staggering, yet the conversation always shifts to what he does going forward.

Yes, he’s got a highlight reel of Hollywood passes. But how many of those are low‑percentage balls recycled from set‑pieces/switches under no pressure? Put him in a team without a covering centre‑back/a hard‑working midfielder, and the output dries up quickly.

Elite full-backs defend first. Their attacking contributions are a bonus, not a justification for poor defending. Trent’s defending is tolerated because of what he offers going forward, but when that forward output dips, you’re left with a full‑back who can’t do the basics of his position.

So no, Trent isn’t a generational talent. He’s a system player with a world‑class right foot, and a brain that forgets he’s supposed to defend first.

Overrated. Simple as.

[Thomas Holmes Reed @tomholmesreed]

@henrywinter Few players could track back less after losing the ball in the defensive third. Pitiful display defensively. What message does that give the fans and younger players in a CL quarter final vs arguably the best team in the competition.

[Thomas Holmes Reed @tomholmesreed]

@jay_wwfc07 Bowen for Madueke and that’s the squad

[England Extra @EnglandExtra]

Apart from his penalty against Switzerland, can anyone tell me what Trent has done in his 34 England caps to warrant such hyperbolic opinion about him missing out?

Southgate, Slot, Xabi Alonso and Tuchel have worked with him every day & have all had some level of issue with him

[Thomas Holmes Reed @tomholmesreed]

Only a win vs Cagliari tonight will do for Napoli as the Partenopei look to push Inter for the Scudetto. I predict drama and goals in this one!

Couldn’t agree more with this.

[Henry Winter @henrywinter]

Tuchel on ignoring Trent: “I know his strengths. My teams have suffered against him. He's a huge talent. It is a tough decision for Trent." Tuchel wants different profile at r-b. "It’s a ‘sportive’ decision, we stick with Quansah, Spence, Livramento who can play at r-b,” #ENG

What a result for the Viola! The Grigiorossi in real trouble. Great to cover a goal with so many beautiful goals.

Inter’s draw vs Atalanta yesterday opened the door for the Rossoneri to close the gap at the top to just 5pts and reignite the title race.
