@markklfc Why is this still a trend, I don't know. Seems like people here posting made up stories is a trend. Ronaldo never said this. That's why there is no source provided.

🚨 Ronaldo Nazário on nearly joining Liverpool FC in 2007: 🗣️ “In 2007, I was very, very close to signing for Liverpool. It wasn’t just interest—it was serious. I was attracted by everything about the club—the history, the passion of the fans, the energy at Anfield… it’s one of the most special places in football. Liverpool has something different—identity, intensity, tradition. You don’t just play for Liverpool, you feel it. But at that time, my manager Vanderlei Luxemburgo spoke to me and convinced me to take another path, which led me to AC Milan. In football, small decisions change everything. But I’ve always admired Liverpool—the way they play, the mentality, the connection with the fans. Honestly, it would have been incredible… because a club like Liverpool matches everything I love about football.”

@Lemonbriz Except. Jurgen never said this. People fall for it. Smh 🤷

🚨🎙️ Jurgen Klopp on Arsenal and Manchester City race for the Premier League Trophy "Look, I have been there, exactly where Mikel and his Arsenal boys are right now. You are flying, you are pressing, the stadium is rocking, the boys are giving everything — and still, in the back of your mind, you feel it. Manchester City is there, like this big beast in a nightmare. You run and run, you think 'this time it is different, this year we make it', but one little slip, one bad result, one moment where the legs are heavy... and when you look over your shoulder, they are already breathing down your neck again. It is so risky, my friend. I know because I lived it — 97 points, 92 points, still second. You can be brilliant for 35 games and in the end it feels like you were only keeping the title warm for them. Arsenal are doing incredible things, but to beat this City machine you need not just quality, you need perfection and a little bit of luck that sometimes never comes. Mikel must be careful — the heart wants to believe, but the head knows how dangerous this position is. We chased like mad, we gave everything, and sometimes... the beast still wins."

@Alarsenalnews_ The problem is, it is your fans as well who mock Liverpool for waiting too long. Now, the table has flipped and you look for excuses because the mockery is used against you.

Calm Down. Football Did Not Start in 2005.* Every time Arsenal fans breathe, someone shouts “21 years without a league title!” as if Arsenal invented waiting. But let’s remind every football fan of football history, because some people started watching football after Wi-Fi was installed in their house. Before you mock Arsenal, remember your own history. 🔴 *Liverpool* 1990 → 2020 That’s 30 YEARS without a league title. Three full decades of waiting before they finally celebrated again. 🔵 *Manchester City* 1968 → 2012 A massive 44 YEARS without winning the English league. 🔴 *Manchester United* 1967 → 1993 Yes, the same United that talk the loudest went 26 YEARS before lifting the league again. 🔵 *Chelsea* 1955 → 2005 The club people now call “serial winners” waited 50 YEARS before winning the modern Premier League. Now suddenly Arsenal’s 21 years is being treated like a century of suffering. Funny. Football didn’t begin with Roman Abramovich’s money 😂 Football didn’t begin with Pep Guardiola 😂 .Football didn’t begin with Klopp 🤔 .Football has always been cycles. Great clubs rise. Great clubs fall. Then great clubs rise again. Arsenal have not disappeared. We rebuilt. We trusted the process. We built a young team. And now the world is watching again. Hate us. Mock us. Laugh at us. But remember this: Every giant club in England has gone through long droughts. And when Arsenal be finally lift the Premier League again… The noise from the Emirates Stadium will shake the football world. Mark this. This is the season the joy returns. This is the season the Gunners smile again. 🔴North London Forever.

Believe it or not, this is how soccer works in Italy. Fiorentina was relegated to the third/fourth league but promote back to the second or first league due to “historical” merits. Inter Milan used fake passports, cooked the books, spied on players and adversaries, exerted pressures on referees: it should have been relegated to the fifth or sixth league, it was awarded two championships despite coming third and by a former board member, then president of the Italian soccer championship’s main sponsor, a company owned by a shareholder and sponsor of Inter Milan.

@prabowo @Dian_Supolo Yaaa gak ush kaget juga, sih. Kan bukan baru kemaren pejabat kita berkelakuan begini. Waktu belum terpilih janjinya apaaa, waktu kepilih beda lagi.

14. Anggaran perjalanan dinas: Rp. 20 T per tahun. Ini pemborosan. Harus dicoret. Jika saya presiden, tidak boleh pejabat RI plesiran ke LN.

@WPacey_89 @israel_ajoje Hmm, ok. Makes sense.

@SilverSong1892 @israel_ajoje Yes. Throwing in goals from all competitions would be unfair because one team may play more matches over the season than another.

Someone is wondering why City, not Arsenal are top when they both have the same number of points. The Premier League uses five tiebreakers to separate clubs that finish level on points. Most fans know the first one. Almost nobody knows the last three. And right now, with five games left in the 2025-26 season, every single one of them matters. According to Section C of the Premier League Handbook 2025-26, under the heading Determination of League Table Placings, when two or more clubs finish level on points the following criteria are applied in this exact order. First, goal difference across all 38 league games. Second, total goals scored across the season. Third, head-to-head points between the tied clubs specifically. Fourth, away goals scored in those head-to-head matches. Fifth, and only if all four criteria above have failed to separate the clubs and the position is material to the title, European qualification or relegation, a one-off playoff at a neutral ground determined by the Premier League Board. City and Arsenal currently lead the Premier League with 70 points. Both clubs have won 70 points with five games remaining and the title would be decided entirely by earlier mentioned tiebreakers. The title has been decided by goal difference exactly once in Premier League history. In 2011-12, Manchester City and Manchester United both finished on 89 points. City had +64. United were on +56. Aguero's 94th-minute winner against QPR is the reason most people know that rule exists. This season, the margin is one goal. Every match between now and 24 May counts.

@WPacey_89 @israel_ajoje So, all goals in the Premier League only? Excluding FA, Carabao, and European Comp?

@SilverSong1892 @israel_ajoje All goals scored in the league.

@Hamzythacreator x.com/i/status/20470…

Why do footballers always walk out with little kids before a match? No jokes… what’s the actual reason? 🤔

@TouchlineX I don't get it. Shouldn't it be an advantage to Arsenal? They're surely resting some key players for EL Final?

🚨 𝗕𝗔𝗗 𝗡𝗘𝗪𝗦 for Arsenal fans: if Aston Villa reach the Europa League Final, then that game will take place in the same week as their final Premier League game vs Manchester City. This could be a HUGE advantage for Manchester City as Aston Villa's priority would be clear.

@TheRealTomSmith @tanpukunokami It's not just "stay away from Cambodia", it's "stay away from too good to be true" offer. The victims many times were lured to work for other countries, they only realized they're being sent to Cambodia on last minutes when their passport and other documents have been seized.

@tanpukunokami I have been following the tales coming out of Cambodia. There are many stories similar to this. Many different Asian people from all over getting lured to go there to Cambodia and even westerners. Stay away from Cambodia. Full of treacherous criminals looking for easy money.

The last money her father sent her paid for nothing. She called him on December 26. She said her leg hurt. She asked for 2,200 yuan to see a doctor. He sent it. That same day, a relative found her photo online. She was sitting on a sidewalk in Sihanoukville, Cambodia. Her hair was a mess. Her sunglasses were upside down. She was holding an X-ray of her own body. She could not walk. She was 20 years old. Her name is Umi. She was a Douyin influencer from Fujian, China. She had more than 20,000 followers. She posted videos of tattoos, designer bags, and an expensive life. Eight months earlier, someone told her there was a high-paying job in Cambodia. She went. She lied to her family and told them she was working in another Chinese province. She kept calling home to ask for money. They kept sending it. Over time, they sent her more than 80,000 yuan. The Chinese embassy found her in a hospital on January 3. She tested positive for meth and ketamine. Both of her knees were fractured. Her legs were partly paralyzed — doctors said this happens when someone is locked in one room for too long. She had no clear memory of where she had been kept. Her name is Umi. Most people will stop reading here. This is exactly where the harder conversation should start. Cambodia has a quiet, serious problem that English-language media rarely talks about plainly. The country has become one of the world's biggest centers for human trafficking into online scam operations. The United Nations estimates that at least 100,000 people are trapped inside Cambodian scam compounds. Most were lured in with fake job offers. Most cannot leave. The irony is that the biggest crime groups running these compounds are Chinese. Prince Holding Group, based in Phnom Penh, was sanctioned by the United States and the United Kingdom in October 2025 for cyber fraud and human trafficking. Its chairman, Chen Zhi, was arrested on January 6, 2026 and extradited to China. U.S. prosecutors also seized $15 billion in Bitcoin from his network — the largest Bitcoin seizure in the history of the Department of Justice. The victims are also, overwhelmingly, Asian. Chinese. Vietnamese. Thai. Filipino. Indonesian. Young people who saw a life on a screen and tried to reach it. Cambodia is not uniquely evil. It is a small country that depends on Chinese investment. Its government has been accused, again and again, of protecting the people who run these compounds. Over the years, an entire criminal economy has grown inside its borders. It now makes an estimated $12 to $19 billion a year. Cambodia's legal GDP is around $47 billion. Some analysts believe the scam industry alone may be worth up to 60 percent of that. On April 3, Umi went live online to tell her story. She spoke in a weak voice. She said someone she knew had tricked her. She said her passport was taken. She said she had been forced into "keyboard work" — the word used inside the compounds for telecom fraud. The stream was cut after 30 minutes. Her account was banned soon after. China has now set a deadline for anyone connected to Chen Zhi to turn themselves in. Thousands of workers are reportedly leaving the compounds. But tens of thousands are still inside. Most have no passport. Most have no country willing to bring them home. Somewhere in Cambodia tonight, another 20-year-old is calling her father. She is asking for money. Her leg hurts. Her name is not Umi. No one will learn it.

🚨 TERKINI : Kepolisian Inggris berhasil menyita lebih dari 4.400 jersey timnas kw dalam operasi terbesar yang dinamakan Bloxwich jelang Piala Dunia 2026. Razia dilakukan Sabtu pagi di salah satu pasar outdoor terbesar di Midlands, Inggris. Jersey kw yang disita meliputi tim-tim besar seperti Argentina, Prancis, Portugal, Inggris, serta klub-klub Premier League dan Eropa lainnya. Satu orang ditangkap atas dugaan distribusi barang palsu ini namun kemudian dibebaskan dengan jaminan (masih ada kemungkinan tersangka lain). Nilai kerugian diperkirakan sekitar £400 ribu (Rp9,2 miliar). 🗣️"Banyak orang menganggap ini sebagai kejahatan kecil, tetapi kenyataannya membeli barang palsu dapat membantu mendanai kejahatan terorganisir serius, termasuk pencucian uang, perdagangan manusia, kerja paksa, dan peredaran narkoba." - Detektif Sersan Jamie Kirk 📝 @TheAthleticFC

@Go6fanpage11 Yeah, you're talking about Halland, I suppose.

A lot of women will be in perfectly safe, stable relationships with guys who genuinely love and respect them. But the exact second a wealthier, higher-status man gives them a tiny bit of attention, they will instantly sabotage their relationship. They will coldly discard a loyal guy just to get a shot with the guy at the top. They walk away from a man who would do anything for them, all for a man who has fifty other women in his DMs. And the crazy part is, these high-value men make it extremely obvious they have no intention of settling down. They don't hide it. But the woman's ego convinces her that she is the exception. She thinks because she is pretty, she is going to be the one to make him drop his entire roster and suddenly want a wife. Then, when the inevitable happens, when he gets bored and replaces her with the next girl in his lineup, she immediately runs to the internet to cry victim. She starts screaming that "men are trash," "men are afraid of commitment," and "men just use women." You aren't a victim. You played a highly calculated game of upgrading, and you lost. You threw away a good man for a guy who treated you exactly like the temporary option you were. You aren't crying because you were manipulated; you are crying because your gamble didn't pay off and now you are left with nothing.

@markklfc The problem is, you don't insert the source on this. Lately, many posts like this turn out to be just a made out statement. So, what's the source?

🚨 Eric Cantona on Virgil van Dijk: 🗣️“For me, Van Dijk is one of the best defenders in the history of football. He has everything—strength, intelligence, leadership, and that calmness under pressure. When you watch him, he makes defending look easy… and that is the mark of greatness. He dominates strikers, controls the back line, and gives confidence to the entire team. Players like him don’t come often—he’s not just a great defender, he’s a complete one.”

@TouchlineX This tweet is actually just for traction, not for a real convo. However, if you want a productive convo, then it's fair to say that parameters need to be set to objectively assess the question. Trophies? IG Followers? Total fans? What?

🚨 The bigger club of the two is: ________________' 🤔

@whitenigerian Post something to make you look wise, but bullshit. Other fans hate them because they have big mouths which don't correlate with their achievements. Always overrate their players to the point of delusion. Big mouth, no trophies to celebrate, and they think their world's best.

The joy some people derive from Arsenal’s defeat says more about human nature than football. There is a strange comfort many find in the fall of those who are striving, perhaps because it makes their own struggles feel lighter. When something or someone is seen as “good,” their failure becomes a spectacle, not just a result. It reminds us that, for many, it is easier to celebrate a downfall than to confront someone else’s rise.

@thecinelost The title is Inception. It's basically people dreaming inside their dreams and get lost to differ which is a dream and which is reality.

One of the smartest scenes in cinema history.

@tanpukunokami Another problem would be if the perpetrators have back up. Sometimes even police high rank figures are involved.

Something ugly is happening in Laos. Since June 2025, the Japanese Embassy in Vientiane has been issuing unusual public warnings. It had to. Japanese men keep getting arrested there — for paying to rape children. Last December, Lao authorities detained a 52-year-old Japanese man at a hotel in Luang Prabang. He had been staying in the room for about two weeks — with three girls, aged 12, 13, and 16, brought to him by a local broker. He reportedly paid nine times the going rate for the 12-year-old, because she had not been touched before. In Laos, sex with anyone 12 or under is classified as child rape, carrying 10 to 15 years in prison. He is still in custody there. Police suspect he also filmed them. Last August, Japanese police arrested a 65-year-old man from Nagoya. Seventeen notebooks were seized from his home. In them, a tally kept from July 2014 through 2025: over 140 children across Southeast Asia, with names, ages, locations, and prices paid. One entry read "9 years old." He had bought a manual on how to find such children online. In January, a 61-year-old from Osaka was arrested on fraud charges — related to running a blog that offered travel tips and a how-to guide for child prostitution. Written under the handle "The Emperor of Laos." He had traveled to the country 17 times. This is where most people will stop reading, and this is exactly where the harder conversation should start. Japan is not alone in exporting men like this. Child sex tourism is a global industry, and every rich country with passports has a version of it. What is specifically Japanese is what happens next. Japan's child prostitution law has had extraterritorial jurisdiction since 1999. A Japanese citizen who pays for sex with a child abroad can be prosecuted at home. The maximum sentence is 5 years in prison or a 3-million-yen fine. For comparison, the maximum for fatal dangerous driving is 20 years. Enforcement is another matter. The three arrests above happened because Lao authorities and Japanese police both moved. The cases where nobody gets caught — which is most of them — rely on a man being careless enough to keep a notebook, or run a blog, or do something loud enough to be noticed. In 1996, at the Stockholm World Congress on the sexual exploitation of children, Japanese lawmakers themselves acknowledged that Japan was lagging behind on this issue. Three years later, in 1999, Japan passed its child prostitution law. In 2001, Japan hosted the second congress in Yokohama and pledged to do better. Twenty-five years later, its own embassy is still issuing warnings to stop its own nationals. It is not that Japanese men are uniquely predatory. They are not. Predators travel from every wealthy country to every poor one, and have since cheap flights were invented. It is that a country that prides itself on being safe and orderly at home has never fully reckoned with what some of its citizens do when they land in Vientiane, or Manila, or Phnom Penh. The law exists. The political will to use it — to track, to prosecute, to publicize convictions at home — does not. The men being arrested in Laos right now are the loud ones. The man with the notebook. The man with the blog. The quiet ones are on the next flight. So what can we actually do? One. Raise the sentencing for extraterritorial child prostitution offenses to match domestic ones. Five years is not enough. Two. Publish the names of those convicted, and restrict their passports. Three. Require travel agencies and airlines to report suspicious travel patterns — the way banks are required to report suspicious transactions. None of this is technically hard. And one more thing. If you are ever in a hotel lobby in Vientiane, or Manila, or Phnom Penh, and you see a pairing that obviously does not fit — you can tell the embassy. You can tell the local police. Looking away is a form of complicity.
