Dominik Szoboszlai is close to signing a bumper, long-term deal at Liverpool, as per Hungarian reports. Always felt like a case of when not if with the 25-year-old who was #LFC player of the season last year. A big box ticked. ✅🔴
England’s golden generation: Ignored technical midfielders in Scholes and Carrick for the all-action powerhouses Lampard and Gerrard. England in 2026: Ignored the technical midfielder in Kobbie Mainoo for the all-action powerhouses in Rice and Anderson. Both failed miserably.
ITV coverage of England v Norway starts at 8.45pm. That's one hour and 15 minutes before kick-off. That's like in 1999, when ITV gave Bayern v United at the Nou Camp one hour, 15 minutes. Oh no sorry, my mistake. They gave it FIFTEEN MINUTES. On air at 7.30pm for a 7.45pm KO.
I’m pretty relaxed about the Bruno situation at Newcastle following today’s links to Arsenal. He wants a new contract at #nufc and has done for a while. I’m viewing it through that lens at the moment. I also don’t think Tonali really wants to go to Spurs. I’m told he would prefer Manchester City or Arsenal. As ever let’s wait and see. Any chance Newcastle could sign some new players instead of being linked with current ones leaving!!
I’d understand if Balogun actually deserved a red card but this is just pathetic and a scared-to-compete move
You cannot - in a once-every-four-years competition - that is largely a single elimination tournament - make a team play 10 on 11 after a red card, and then remove that team’s offending player for the next game. You just cannot, for ANY reason… let alone a silly, unintentional ‘infraction’ like tonight’s. Not when fans care, root, and spend this much. It ruins the product. And also invites corruption among referees.
