Football fans… Picture this… it’s Super Sunday… you’re hungover… You turn the football on. Premier league clash. 5:30pm. What is the WORST feasible fixture you’d hate to see? Which two clubs?

Ibrahima Konate vs Sunderland

"How long have you known about Andrew and Epstein?". King Charles is heckled during a visit to Lancashire.

1. Haaland 2. Rice 3. Bruno 4. Gabriel 5. Saliba I think.

Liverpool’s perfect summer window: Outgoing: - Gomez £10m - Endō £10m - Tsimikas £12m - Robertson Free - Konaté Free - Mac Allister £75m - Chiesa £14m - Salah £125m - Elliott £35m - Gakpo £75m Total: £365m Incoming: - Olisé £105m - Mickey van de Ven £65m - Archie Gray £60m - Gordon £100m - Wharton £80m - Promote Luke Chambers - Bajčetić takes over Endō’s role - Jayden Danns stays to be 3rd CF - Trey Nyoni takes next step - Josh Abe starts being integrated as RW back up, like Rio this season. Total: £370m Squad composition: GKs: Alisson, Mamardashvili, Jaros, Woodman CBs: Virgil, Jacquet, Leoni, VdV, Mor Talla Ndiaye, Ndukwe, Adekoya, Lucky FBs: Bradley, Frimpong, Kerkez, Chambers 6/8: Gravenberch, Gray, Bajčetić, Wharton, Curtis Jones 8/10: Wirtz, Szoboszlai, Nyoni LW: Gordon, Ngumoha RW: Olisé, Abe, Morrison CF: Isak, Ekitike But the true beauty here is how many players you have who can cover other positions. RB cover: Archie Gray, Szoboszlai. LB cover: Van de Ven LW alt: Ekitike, Wirtz RW alt: Gordon You keep a small, positive squad who all get the game time they want + competition in key positions (Rio takes the next steps developmentally, pushing for more minutes which keeps Gordon at his intense best every week), solid midfield depth and competition. Slot gets to play his regular XI all the time as he likes to, but when he has injuries or rotates for cup games, he still has top quality players and depth in defence. We can challenge for a treble with this, if injuries aren’t too long term during the season.

Hello everyone. I am sorry for the increased inactivity recently, it is the lowest I have felt in quite some while. Not only have I lost some passion, due to my favourite managers either getting sacked, or underperforming, but my personal life has been very tough. Recently, I was laid off of not necessarily job, but one of my part time coaching gigs for underperformance. Of course, this hurt me very much. So I looked to pick up a new part time hobby, and if you didn’t already know, my father is a chef. I picked up a love for cooking from him, so I suggested an idea to him which combines my 2 loves: Cooking and the tactical aspect of football. The idea was to put a spin on regular French cuisine (his expertise), and serve all the dishes in formations, named after football managers I idolise. For example, the “Pep Bourguignola” — a twist on the French classic Beef bourguignon. And for the plating twist, the gravy would make the shape of the pitch, with things like the vegetables, pieces of meat being his 3-2-4-1 in possession formation. I offered him role to be the head chef. A father-son business. Unfortunately, he did not see to take this well, and felt I was insulting his craft he has worked years on, asking me whether I was autistic. And really, I feel I have had some dreams shattered recently. So I am trying to find my feet, motivation, hunger again.

Man this tune is fucking brilliant. Sleaford mods best.

No idea what gap Gakpo spots here that necessitates him taking a shot from that angle.

Luke Littler's response to those in Ally Pally booing him 👀

What makes Liverpool Carragher's "club" and not Salah's 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Right, Salah might be off then.

Teams try 10x harder against us than anyone else in the league and it’s quite easy to see
