“Ever since I was a kid, I wanted to be a boxing world champion, support Man City and listen to Oasis. But I became a four-time world champion in two weight classes, ended up boxing at the Etihad Stadium in front of 55,000 people, and became mates with Noel and Liam Gallagher over the years” - Ricky Hatton

Rosenior gonna have to shoulder the blame for tonight

Up the Chels!

🇧🇷🗣️ This is an INCREDIBLE story from David Luiz about his time in Paris: “A few months after I moved to Paris, two of my friends from Diadema came to spend some time with me there. They had broken up with their wife and girlfriend and were sad, so I invited them, hoping the visit would help clear their minds. Great. “They soon met other Brazilians, who played for a team like the seventh-division amateur league in the suburbs of Paris — all immigrants without proper papers. “Every night, my two friends came home angry, complaining that they were constantly beaten up. So, I said: “I’ll go over there tomorrow to watch you play.” And I did. “I arrived wearing a ninja hat, half disguised, and watched. The opponents were all dressed up, with their uniforms, equipment, water bottles, and a coach. And my friends’ team was wearing nothing: one in white shorts, another in purple, a third in yellow. The guys were hanging from the goalposts to warm up…. It was a mess. At the end of the match, which they lost, I asked: “Do you want me to train the team?” I’ll never forget the guys’ smiles. They were so genuinely happy and excited, something I had only seen when I was a kid, when we would fly kites in Diadema. I started training the guys every Monday, from 10 to midnight. Sometimes I would train them on Monday and play a Champions League match on Tuesday. I even remember scoring a goal against Barcelona on one of those days. I started loving Mondays. I couldn’t wait to be with those guys. We talked, I listened a lot, and I got to know each one’s stories and struggles. “Some made money playing capoeira, others delivering items on motorbikes or washing dishes. All of them had a hard life, afraid because of their illegal status, with little hope that things would improve, but football brightened up and took the weight off their days. On my first holidays, I went back to Brazil and went to talk to the ultimate crazy woman, my mother: “Mum, can you make stuff for the boys there?” “Say no more! She made travel polo shirts, tracksuits, match uniforms, training uniforms, everything in sizes S, M, L, XL…. I went back to Paris with 21 suitcases. The guys’ dedication grew along with their joy. We started training twice a week, then three times. We got promoted, and at the end of the season, I had a crazy idea. Another one. “I’m going to throw a gala for the team, just like PSG does for us every year.” I rented a castle-like nightclub where Matuidi had thrown his birthday party and started producing ours. “I had already hired a guy who used to film for PSG to film our guys’ matches, too. I asked him to bring all the videos to my house so we could watch them and choose the best goals of the year, the top scorer, the goalkeeper’s best saves. Let’s show them on the big screen! Then I ordered trophies for the winners of each category. Hey, but what about the others? Plaques! We’re going to make little wooden-and-acrylic plaques with each one’s name on them. Everything was perfect. The day before, I called the guys together: “Do you have a white button-up shirt and a basic black coat for tomorrow’s party?” Nobody had one. OK, I will buy you some. I went to the store myself and got some. Then I thought about their girlfriends and wives. I called the group again and gave each one some pocket money so that their SOs could buy a dress if they wanted. The party night arrived. And if I told you it was incredible, one of the most extraordinary emotional moments of my life, as cool as winning the Champions League, would you believe me?” 🎙️ @TPTFootball

Fantastic news

The Raiders trading a 3rd-rounder and $58M for one year of Geno Smith to secure the No. 1 pick

Neto and Santos are embarrassing

Andrey Santos is fucking terrible

Wow 🤯

@clippedszn welp😂

@themarketradar When did you flip back to risk on? I was keeping my eye out but must’ve missed it

As long as we stay Risk-On, it’s our base case software names are oversold and capitulated. If we go risk-off, the view changes as rest of the market catches up. This likely accelerates fears in earnings vulnerabilities (lower multiples). We’re at a key point in the market where indexes have to hold.

WOW... Radivoje Kalajdzic has just climbed off the canvas twice to stop former world champion Oleksandr Gvozdyk with one of the knockouts of the year so far 🤯 🎬 @Zuffa_Boxing #ZuffaBoxing02 | #GvozdykKalajdzic | #Knockout

I CANNOT BELIEVE MY EYES. WHAT HAVE WE JUST WITNESSED. THIS IS FOOTBALL.

All spending their citizens taxes on inflated bullshit and aid.

This looks like something straight out of a movie

Yeah because Ruud Gullit just had a lovely tan 🤷‍♂️

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Red card and 3 yellows. Unbelievable Chelsea

🚨 Jamie Carragher: “The ownership inherited Thomas Tuchel, a champions league winning manager, now if you look at the timeline since then, it looks like the next guy is Liam Rosenior. He has managed Derby, Hull and Strasbourg, great opportunity for him if it happens, but Chelsea supporters are not used to this at all, all eyes on the ownership and sporting directors now after Maresca has left” (@SkySportsPL)
