@TheAthleticFC Harvey Barnes dumbest player OAT. Could’ve been going to a World Cup wit Scotland but is still holding onto his English dream that’ll NEVER happen
A selection of players who were not included in Thomas Tuchel's 35-man England squad for the friendlies against Uruguay and Japan:
🏴 Trent Alexander-Arnold
🏴 Luke Shaw
🏴 Ollie Watkins
🏴 Danny Welbeck
🏴 Jarrad Branthwaite
🏴 Harvey Barnes
🏴 Morgan Gibbs-White
🏴 Conor Gallagher
Do you think any of them will make it into England's World Cup squad?
Scottish Premiership 2025/26 title remains incredibly close. At 30 games played and 8 left to go, there's just 3 points separating 3 teams: Hearts, Celtic and Rangers.
Barney Stewart might be my favourite player in the Premiership just now.
Not just because of his story, which is incredible. I think he’s quite a unique player and could really hit heights not many would’ve thought.
He now has 9 G/A in his last 9 games!
SIR ALEX FERGUSON: “I must confess that I found it very difficult to work with Argentine players, there was a lot of patriotism toward Argentina, they always had the flag close to them. I had no problem with that, but the ones I coached weren’t especially interested in speaking English. (Juan Sebastián) Verón barely said ‘Mister’ to me.”
“He didn’t talk to anyone. He was alone in the locker room. He didn’t speak any language. He wasn’t antisocial, he just wasn’t a communicator.”
“Even though he made spectacular contributions, he simply couldn’t play in our teams. He played in every position. I could have coached him for a hundred years without knowing where to put him.”
@WRX_Labour Horrible approach, to try to take down the leader of a rival political party by putting AI made image on X, showing Epstein. Let's see a formal apology. Horrible behaviour.
@WRX_Labour You people are disgusting, smearing a political rival by sharing a fake (AI-generated photo) alonside Epstein. Shame on you, shame on your integrity. Let's see a formal apology.
Tonight, Wrexham MP Andrew Ranger voted to end the Universal Credit Two Child Limit, a devastating Tory policy that drove up poverty.
Whilst the UK Labour Govt has put in measures to bring 69,000 children in Wales out of poverty, Reform would reverse it to take 5p off a beer
Day in the life: Deadline day. ✍️
From early wake ups to final signatures, this is what it really looks like behind the scenes.
A little bit of insight in to the loan signing of Ben Broggio from Aston Villa to Falkirk.

@FalkirkFC Cool! I speculate that you've disabled the ability for channel members to use emoji reactions. Thats why we see only two thumbs up: admin can react, but nobody else can. Such a hybrid approach looks amateur as it seems only 1 or 2 people are interested in each post. Let's fix.

@JacobsBen . @FabrizioRomano said Roma have already agreed to allow Tsimikas back next week though?
I hope they do, sooner we get rid of Robertson the better. He’s a poor player now & will only hinder us.
The terms of Andy Robertson’s move from Liverpool to Tottenham are agreed in principle for around £5m including add-ons. However, there is no sign off from Liverpool or Robertson yet.
Liverpool will only sell, and Robertson give a green light to move, if #LFC can bring in a replacement.
Liverpool have struggled to get Kostas Tsimikas because there is no recall clause in his Roma loan.
Roma will only sanction his exit if they find a left-back replacement. Roma had a £7m bid rejected for David Møller Wolfe and continue to explore other options.
Liverpool and Robertson relaxed about the situation, but if Roma find a left-back, Spurs' move for the Scotland international could be back on. If not, Robertson will stay at Anfield.
Robertson's professionalism has been noted having been informed earlier this week the move to Spurs, originally planned for after the #UCL game against Qarabag, is not on at present.
One to watch in the final days of the window in case Roma sign a new left-back.🏴
@TheHibsRamble Most overhyped manager and team in years
His fawning Scottish media have him down as some sort of Alex Ferguson, but the reality is just another ex Jambo playing the Heart way with blatant tactical fouling
They were 2 down before the yellows were starting to run out

@ManUtd@Casemiro COST PER GAME £705k! Bad value.
£110M^ cost! Games played so far: 146. Assume another 11 games before he leaves, 156 games.

@ChampionsLeague 5 of the 8 top slots, 63%, for automatic next-stage qualification are English teams, showing the (financial) dominance of the EPL.
EPL has a 6th team in CL (Man City, not in top 8). EPL has more teams in CL 25-26 than other countries - however these teams are also doing well.
@BBCMOTD 67% of today's MOTD (men's football) presenters were women.
So, dear woke BBC, shall we make it reciprocal by seeing 67% of women's football presenters on a BBC programme being men? No, I didn't think so.
@MikeGrayAFC So you think it had more to do with him being black than his 75% loss rate, 18 goals conceded in 8 games, blowing the chance to go top twice, losing a cup final, dropping 12 points from 18, refusing to adapt, making no sense whatsoever and generally being a fucking clown?
Remember guys, if Celtic don’t win all three of these matches their manager is an absolute moron way out of his depth.
Or is that treatment strictly reserved for the Black French MLS guy
@DensParkChoir "Elvis has NOT left the building"!
3 wins in past 3 games - including beating Falkirk, which I didn't appreciate - for Steven Pressley. That's 41% of Dundee's 22 points so far were in the past 3 games. #Comeback

🗣️Miroslav Klose: "I said stop playing football because I no longer recognized it. Today, young people think about other things. As a child, I only thought about training and becoming someone in this sport that I always loved. At Lazio and in the national team, after each training session, I put myself in a bathtub full of ice to avoid injuries. But the young people on the team systematically refused.
When they saw me picking up the bags of balls to put them away at the end of training, they said to me 'But who tells you to do that?'. At that moment, I said to myself: "You're 20 years old and you can't help a 60-year-old worker? They care more about whether their cleats go with their socks. That's why I said stop. The football I knew no longer exists.
Today's young people think first of cars, contracts with their sponsors, and their new crampons. It is only after all these things that football comes. For them, their image is the most important thing. Whereas for me, all that mattered was football in its purest form."
@AbdnTrey@FalkirkFC GET IT RIGHT UP YE, YA DOSS CUNT. GO SHAG THE SHEEP, THAT'S 6 POINTS FOR THE BAIRNS VS DONS, C/O 1-0 WINS FOR FALKIRK HOME AND AWAY AGAINST ABERDEEN. @AbdnTrey = 😭😭😭
