@TheAthleticFC Cubarsi has always played in his preferred position on right.

Barcelona now have a first-choice signing: Inter’s 26-year-old Italy international Alessandro Bastoni. A left-footed centre-back, Bastoni’s arrival would allow Pau Cubarsi to play in his preferred role on the right of that pairing. Barcelona sources believe the player would be keen on the move. But then, of course, there is the financial element. Barca are yet to bring themselves in line with La Liga’s salary limit and have already expressed their desire to sign current loanee Marcus Rashford on a permanent transfer — they have a €30million option in the deal with Manchester United for the England forward — as well as signing a new No 9. 📝 @Laia_Cervello and @polballus 🔗 nytimes.com/athletic/71403…

@Blue_Footy @peterrutzler @TimesSport We won’t even make Europa league with Rosenoir in charge

‼️Without Champions League football, there is no financial pressure to sell, as Chelsea modeled their UEFA sanction agreement on the basis of income from Europa League qualification. ~ @peterrutzler | @TimesSport

@FabrizioRomano Even the guys that plays one game a week 😂

🚨 Bryan Mbeumo and Benjamin Šeško will not join their national team and remain in Manchester to manage their recent fitness issues.

@TikiTakaConnor There’s no reason to take Saliba and Gabriel to the World Cup if they are faking injuries cos it’s a friendly game

I’m glad the club have found these “injuries” with a bunch of players that don’t need to risked in needless friendlies where their spot is already 100% nailed for the World Cup. We’ve got a title to win.

@realArseniusz10 @Blue_Footy This is because there’s no movement btw Zubi, Rice, Hincapie and White. You can’t try this with Vitinha, Joao Neves, Hakimi and Mendes. They don’t stay in a position once the get the ball, Mendes on his own can also get the ball and drive forward.

@Viewbysamson @Blue_Footy i have two examples special for you

City are pressing Arsenal high with a four-man narrow line. That's very rare but it's working big time. Arsenal can't build, they are only going long.

@StatiSense Please stop this comparison How are you comparing a first world country with a third world country?

PETROL AFFORDABILITY: NIGERIA, USA, AND UK (Comparison based on 40-hour workweek minimum wage) Monthly Minimum Wage: 🇬🇧UK — $2,813 🇺🇸USA — $1,255 🇳🇬Nigeria — $52 Price of Petrol (per Liter): 🇳🇬Nigeria — $0.882 🇺🇸USA — $1.075 🇬🇧UK — $1.874 Petrol Purchasing Power (Liters per Month): 🇬🇧UK — 1501 Liters 🇺🇸USA — 1167 Liters 🇳🇬Nigeria — 59 Liters Cost of one 50L tank vs Monthly Wage: 🇬🇧UK — 3.3% 🇺🇸USA — 4.2% 🇳🇬Nigeria — 84.8% Nigeria recorded the lowest pump price at $0.882 per liter on March 16. It also had the lowest affordability of the three countries. A 50-liter tank cost $44.10, which was 84.8% of the Nigerian monthly minimum wage. In the UK and USA, a full tank took less than 5% of a worker's monthly income. Minimum wage earners in the UK could buy 1,501 liters of fuel per month. Nigerian workers could afford 59 liters. #Statisense (Global Petrol Prices, 16th March 2026)

@Olufunmee__ @AsakyGRN Context matters She’s not being asked to introduce herself, it is the concept of the interview. It’s also like Egungun’s introductory speech.

@AsakyGRN lol, I hope he gets better. Whether you people like it or not, there are levels to this thing. You can’t be asking certain celebs to ‘introduce themselves’😂.

An awkward moment between an interviewer and Omotola Jalade Ekeinde as she got visibly pissed after being asked “who am I here with?” 😭😂

@siphillipssport @MarkOgden_ I agree with this. Not that the players they buy aren’t good but the amount we pay is ridiculously high

Chelsea are a team overloaded with overrated forwards, often signed for bloated transfer fees, while key areas such as goalkeeper -- and head coach -- are neglected in favor of low-budget options. [@MarkOgden_]

@FabrizioRomano I believe Country managers shouldn’t take players who fake injuries cos they don’t want to play the friendly games to the World Cup

🚨⛔️ Gabriel Magalhães has withdrawn from the Brazil squad due to right knee pain, statement confirms. Gabriel and Saliba (as announced yesterday) will both stay in London to recover.

@charles_watts We all know what is happening, right?

Gabriel pulls out of the Brazil squad with a knee injury, joining William Saliba who will not be linking up with France. Trossard has dropped out of the Belgium squad. Odegaard and Timber also not linking up with their national teams as they work on their fitness over the break. Eze out of the England squad.

@Morris_Monye It’s not about knowing who she is, it’s normal to introduce yourself in terms of the concept of the interview.

They are both wrong. He was sounding so casual and not audible enough. She should have responded when she finally heard and understood him. If you subject yourself to an interview, then humble yourself to go along with it. Also most of the Gen Z don’t know who she is anymore.

@siphillipssport @Sport_Witness We need cbs That should be our top priority first

Tottenham and Chelsea initiate contact to sign Sporting’s Maxi Araújo. [@Sport_Witness]

@PSGINT_ No matter what, they never go back to the goalie.

what an insane build to Dro's debut goal

@Babsphemii @CaicedoEra_ I think what he did wrong in this game was being on his feet when he should’ve gone and and made sure timber got a yellow card

Estevão Willian is a nightmare for Arsenal defenders any day 😮‍💨🔥 Especially Jurriën Timber 😂 Watch 👇🏾

@currentiyke You don’t even need to spend extravagantly, just basic necessities

Nigerian currency useless mehn. Today you have money, tomorrow you don't know where they all went to.

@ChuksEricE Fuel is 1400 just so he knows

"Nigerians in the UK came out to welcome Tinubu for His good Work"👀👀 - Lagos state governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu

@NigeriaStories I keep asking, when you remove subsidy what does the average Nigerian benefit from doing so?

BREAKING: Petrol Hits N1,400 per liter in some parts of Nigeria 🇳🇬

@Blue_Footy You won’t at least wait until he plays in the premier league before saying he’s fit for the Prem

But it's the same people that are recruiting for both teams basically. 🤔 Besides a fit Emegha is a monster. A more team player than Panichelli. Emegha suits the Premier League better in my opinion. He's quicker, stronger, presses better, wins more duels and covers the pitch a lot more. Panichelli is a a better finisher and technically better. It's not really a black and white mistake like that. Emegha wasn't having this persistent muscle issues before we signed him. The injuries make it look like a mistake on hindsight. But if Emegha has been fit, he would have benched Panichelli at Strasbourg. It's simple.

@Lets_Do_Crypto @MobyChe Lmao Please don’t add Ederson to the list. Proper ball playing goalie. If he goes long he’s definitely finding his man

@Viewbysamson @MobyChe It's doesn't matter Arsenal mostly built up with 3 centre backs and the keeper joins in the build up as a extra man when there is a numerically disadvantage. Whether Raya or ederson or Alison was there, the safest option for any of them was to go long. It's 4 against 4

4-2-4 press, but only when Arsenal try to pass the ball into the midfield, made it tough for them to progress the ball. Forced them long, and the counter-press was ferocious from City, making sure Arsenal were pinned back from the end of the 2nd of the first half and beginning of the 2nd half.

@realArseniusz10 @Blue_Footy I hope you know once the ball gets to Hincapie it frees up Rice

@Viewbysamson @Blue_Footy No, he isn't. The moment Kepa passes the ball to Hincapie, that’s the signal for Nunes to start pressing him!
