William de Quetteville @dequetteville.bsky.social · 15/07/2026Genuinely think that’s the most baffling series of tactical decisions I have seen in a football match. Tuchel decided to play like a National League team unexpectedly a goal up in the third round of the FA Cup 000 0

William de Quetteville @dequetteville.bsky.social · 24/03/2026Perhaps the next time someone on the BBC complains that women’s sport doesn’t get the coverage it deserves someone could show them the front page of their app featuring two stories about someone leaving Liverpool in a few months & relegating the Arsenal vs. Chelsea 1/4 final to a minor place 000 0
William de Quetteville @dequetteville.bsky.social · 17/03/2026So City & now Chelsea have engaged in two of the most egregious corruption scandals in English sporting history but actually I think you’ll find Arsenal being good at corners is the real problem here 021 0
