Personally, I’m looking at Big Ron as a low risk, high potential signing in a position of serious need. Peak age, & his style will fit alongside Virgil nicely. He buys us time for Jacquet & Leoni, which is particularly attractive for me. Are there risks? Yes. But, that’s the same for any transfer 🤷🏻‍♂️

Love this guy! If nothing’s working we need to take to the streets, grind the country to a halt and take back power. It really is that simple. Don’t say things like general strikes don’t work, if you’re not happy you’ve gotta make changes the ballot box is broken people: youtu.be/VA0eyr__uhk?...

There has been a 'ceasefire' in Gaza for 274 days. In that time 1,098 Palestinians have been murdered and 3,500 injured. While 0 Israelis have been killed. There is no ceasefire, just a Genocide.

Amazing work by Reform in picking Robert Jenrick as the man to tour the broadcast studios to portray Nigel Farage and his party as a model of probity

Iraola getting into working with the academy lads is exactly the kind of thing a top manager does - especially when the senior team are away This is positive as the playing style he implements & the environment he created will likely trickle down to the rest of the age groups in some form Nice

Barca want Anthony Gordon This is the same club who refused to bid for Luis Diaz because we would t accept £12.70 in 174 instalments The same club who are baulking at paying an agreed fee of £26m for Marcus Rashford Now they think they can sign a player apparently flaked at £75m?

Salah's statement is absolutely spot on isn't it Can't imagine what will happen on the final day, there's no way Slot can turn up to pre season in charge, he's changed everything from top to bottom after winning a title off the coattails of our most successful manager in years Get. Him. Gone.

Jurgen Klopp worked so hard to unite the supporters, players & the club after years of drift & mediocrity. To create a bond & connection which saw us through bad times, & strengthened in good. To build a winning mentality & as he said, to make it hell to play against us. I miss that guy so much 😭

I'm all for giving Frimpong a chance as a RW but at the expense of Szoboszlai starting at right back - not sure to be honest That's a team that could do the business today so let's hope for a hatful of goals & a clean sheet Is it too much to ask?

I remember once upon a time when I was a kid, & the football World Cup was a magical thing, which filled me with wonder & joy. I usually still get a buzz of anticipation when a World Cup arrives, but FIFA have killed that over the years, little by little. Now FIFA are synonymous with fascism 🤮
