@talkSPORT Having money and great players doesn’t guarantee success. Look at Real Madrid Galacticos trophy haul especially after Beckham joined. How many trophies did the Dutch “total football” teams win. Arguably harder to refresh and maintain standards. Fergie the best at that.

@raducrisanx Time for Pep to go. Hes struggling to accommodate the flair players given to him and the omission of Nico G for others yesterday says a lot about how he’s thinking. Been brilliant but all good things come to an end.

@cfcleah_ You not counting the European trophy they won in the 70s??

@George_Zur1 Great defending. Within a yard of the ball and shoulder to shoulder. You lot need some steel in your team if you want to compete. Too many young kids and a couple of hotheads

@TrollTouchline Is that the same Shearer who stamped on a Leicester players head…slapping the back of someone’s knee with a limp wrist isn’t violent conduct. The very same people who say the games gone soft.

🚨💣 | Alan Shearer on the Bernardo Silva and Potential Penalty incident in the Manchester City vs Brentford game:
“It’s moments like these where you really have to look at the consistency of the officiating, because for the life of me, I cannot understand how we’ve walked away from that game with those decisions standing as they did.
You look at the penalty shout for Brentford there’s clear contact there he pushed him. In any other area of the pitch, that’s a foul, yet somehow it’s overlooked when it matters most in the eighteen-yard box. It’s a massive letdown for a side that worked as hard as Brentford did today.
And then we have to talk about the incident with Bernardo Silva. We’re told the threshold for violent conduct is high, but when you see that kind of intent, you expect the ultimate sanction. A yellow card feels like a massive escape. It’s hard to sit here and argue that if that were a player from a club lower down the table, or even another top-six side, the outcome wouldn't have been a straight red.
We brought VAR in to eliminate these 'clear and obvious' errors, to ensure that the big calls are getting the scrutiny they deserve. But when you see the same patterns emerging, it leaves fans and players feeling like there’s a different set of rules for different shirts. It’s simply not good enough for a league of this standard”

@RyanTaylorSport Thought this was a parody account but, no, you actually claim to be a journalist. Take it football isn’t your 1st 2nd or even 3rd specialism.

@LangwathbyUtd @KirkoswaldResFC I didn’t think you were that bad tbh.
English

Result 🚨🚨
2-1 defeat on the road to @KirkoswaldResFC was like watching paint dry for 85 minutes, some great saves from prowler and a PC rocket wasn’t enough to earn us a point however makes a nice change to concede under 6 goals Thanks to the Feathers after for the hospitality 🟠⚫️

@thegingerwig Poor play from Guehi...that's all. Barry gained no advantage as he was behind Guehi when the ball was passed back. Guehi had a poor game (for once) and that wasn't his first under hit pass. 3 mistakes, 3 goals.
English

The current interpretation of the Offside rule is ridiculous
It was brought in to stop goal hanging
If Guehi doesn't touch the ball he's offside.

Thierno Barry capitalises on a misplaced pass from Marc Guéhi and Everton are level! 🔵

@UtdMaI Games in hand?? You mean having to play the last 5 league games between May 4th and May 24th plus an FA Cup final. Ask yourself a better question. Why didn’t the Everton v City fixture get played yesterday.
English

@richardajkeys The number goes up every time some idiot tweets about this. The two aren't related Richard. Bit like saying you cant drive because you're due in court in a year for speeding

@AndyGni By 33 Rooney had played at the very top level for 17 years. Salah hasnt done that.

@KirkoswaldResFC @KendalCounty @MasonMcaneney Well done lads. Great effort in your first season together. There’ll be plenty more semi finals and finals along the way
English

Really good first half from us but the experience and game management from @KendalCounty Reserves in the second half meant they deserved the victory and were good value for the money.
MOTM: Lewis Whitton
Goal: @MasonMcaneney
Assist: Rob Ando

@LFC Leaving as a free agent like Trent. Will he get the same treatment? Doubt it.

@OfficialPDC If that was any other sport there’d be an investigation

@OxygenKohlii18 Parents move left and right to avoid the ball and leave the child completely exposed. 🤦♂️
English

Remember when Sophie Devine smashed the fastest hundred in women’s T20 cricket history with a six, but the ball hit a child in the crowd.
No celebrations, No big moment. She rushed straight after the match to check if the kid was okay.
Pure class and compassion. ❤️🥹 twitter.com/OxygenKohlii18…

@GazTheJourno The inevitability of a post-covid era where 60% of people refuse to go to an office and where driving anywhere is discouraged via insurance, repairs, fuel, congestion, bus and cycle lanes and pot-holes coupled with a barely functioning public transport/rail system
