The emotion😭👊🏻👊🏻

@SkySportsPL Gobshite he is

Noel Gallagher has seen enough 😬

@thegingerwig Me. Me. Me.

Pep's left the players on the pitch and walked off

@TheGriftReport Emma Hayes.. Bloody hell. That woman is awful.

Eni Aluko and 5 others not included in ITV 2026 Men’s World Cup coverage ITV has not selected Eni Aluko along with five other regular pundits from its team for the 2026 Men’s World Cup in the USA, Canada and Mexico. The six axed are: > Eni Aluko > Graeme Souness > Joe Cole > Nigel De Jong > Nadia Nadim > Hal Robson-Kanu ITV’s new-look line-up will instead feature Roy Keane, Juan Mata, Patrick Vieira, Ian Wright, Ange Postecoglou and Emma Hayes. The broadcaster is basing its entire coverage in New York and has given no official reason for not using the six pundits.

@Malachians I dont think any team or manager will be good enough to "dominate". No consistency

Feels like the end of an era for City and the Premier League. It’s not just replacing Guardiola that will be a monumental task for them, it will be his backroom staff and the culture he created. There is an opportunity for someone to dominate the PL now for the next 5-10 years

@henrywinter Bloody hell.. City should then be kicked out of football for what they have done.

Southampton kicked out of Championship play-off final for spying. Correct decision, especially as it transpires they spied on three clubs in total. This is about more than a bloke standing behind a tree with an iPhone. It’s about how seriously the game should take cheating. EFL independent disciplinary commission have struck a blow for fair play, for integrity, for the need for respect between clubs, for coaches to have an expectation of privacy in training. 25% of goals scored in the Championship this season were from set-pieces. Clubs practised them. Understandably, coaches don’t want their plans revealed. EFL sending a strong message with this punishment.  Spygate 2 different from Spygate 1. Rules tightened and punishments introduced since Leeds United’s offence. Appeals, of course. It’s tough for Southampton fans to be denied the trip to Wembley and the chance of a return to the Premier League. It’s particularly tough that many have forked out for tickets, travel and accommodation. Their frustration and anger should be directed at their club. Southampton should recompense fans. It’s not the fans’ fault.  The stupidity in all this is that Southampton would probably have beaten Boro anyway. Better team, stronger bench. But this is so damning… “Southampton admitted breaches of Regulations requiring Clubs to act with the utmost good faith and prohibiting the observation of another Club’s training session within 72 hours of a scheduled match,” says EFL. “The admitted breaches concern fixtures against Oxford United in December 2025, Ipswich Town in April 2026 and Middlesbrough in May 2026.” So the punishment is proportionate. It should act as a deterrent. Honesty matters.

@FBAwayDays Club shout reimburse them all

Regardless of whether Southampton have done wrong or not, how can they expel them so close to the game? Fans will have spent money booking trains, tickets and hotels. You really do have to feel for them. 🤯🫣

Those 2 dicks the Gallagher brothers being City fans is a fucking myth.

Facts

@AkaPaulHoward 🤣🤣 Thats lies

@1SamRafferty I’ve been watching football since about 1977 and I didn’t hear about assists until about five years ago.

Roy Keane is right here about “assists”. The second last person to touch the ball doesn’t always deserve credit for a goal. Sometimes the most decisive pass came three passes back. It’s been borrowed from US sports so bookmakers can offer more things for people to bet on.

@TurkTalksFC Bitter bastard he is. Simple as that.

Such an overreaction from Keane, again. A dead rubber and the final home game of the season after confirming 3rd. Bruno saying “I should’ve shot but I passed” is also untrue. He literally said the opposite. Football’s supposed to be fun. Not everything should be scrutinised.

@utdreport @WeAreTheOverlap Embarrassing himself

Roy Keane: “Luke Shaw scored first goal in 97 years and they are all going to him ‘HEEEEEE....HEEEEEEEE’” [@WeAreTheOverlap]

@WeAreTheOverlap Well.. Roy Keane talking shite and misquoting somebody. Think you would fact check that stuff before looking like a bitter bastard on TV.

“It’s a circus act!” 😡 Roy had plenty to say about Bruno Fernandes’ assist record on the latest episode of Stick to Football… 🗣️

@MarkOgden_ You lot are making it an obsession. Assists have always been a thing. People dont like it because Brunonis being mentioned. Simple as that.

Roy Keane speaking sense about football’s strange new obsession

Stick it opposite that other stand.

@City_Xtra @RobDawsonESPN @MarkOgden_ Go opposite the 115 Stand

BREAKING: #ManCity are set to rename a stand at the Etihad Stadium in honour of Pep Guardiola. [@RobDawsonESPN/@MarkOgden_]

@MarkOgden_ So Beckham wouldn't get credit by your standard of assist?

Maybe just rename assists as ‘last player to touch the ball before somebody scores…’

@MarkOgden_ Why are corners suddenly a problem?? He literally crosses the ball for somebody to score. Why you being weird.

If Bruno Fernandes runs from box to box, the ball bounces off a defender’s shin and a United player scores from the loose ball, no Bruno assist, despite the box to box contribution. If he takes a corner and somebody heads it in, assist. Who makes these rules up?

@Nin10dude64 @johnaokane74 And? You think Pep would have went undefeated in the league and finished top 3 with that side? No chance.

@1SamRafferty @johnaokane74 Didn’t he just come 3rd with Benfica ?

Hes never tested himself Henry.. Lets hope he goes to a struggling giant and makes them great again.. Hes never done it !

@MailSport Its Ferguson. There is no debate.

Pep Guardiola would have managed Man United if Sir Alex Ferguson had his way over dinner in New York. Now the debate is between those two over who is the greatest English-based manager, writes IAN LADYMAN trib.al/nrL4P53
