@Mobyhaque1 I agree with you and him. But Salah is leaving after this season. Which means we'll be going for someone else.

Diomande to reporters: “My contract here is until 2030, so I have four more years, What's going to happen afterwards? I don't know. I am a Leipzig player. "I will never forget this opportunity. It's not only about playing football, but the club helped me a lot off the pitch. The media only sees me on the pitch, but the club helped me a lot with my family and my mom. The only thing I can do for them is to give everything on the pitch and this is what I'm trying to do every day. "Nobody knew me before and €20 million is a lot. It was a big risk for them and I thank them for that. And like I said today, we are in a good way and it's not over”

Yan Diomande committed to RB Leipzig. He says he is no rush to leave & RBL helped him and his family a lot behind the scenes. Right move. We should not be spending 100M on a player with so little senior apps. In due time for sure. One more year there. espn.com.au/football/story…

Tell me, why was Szoboszlai given a red card and City's goal chalked off earlier in the season? Then for a second ignore the fact that everything has been allowed in the 'pit' until last weekend. Now tell me, how the hell Trossard's foul is "nothing"? #LFC #MCFC #AFC #WHU

@Amad16FC How is a player, holding the offending player in a tight hug, without even facing the corner kick, "nothing"? That's just absurd. Remember the Szobo-Haaland incident, where they HAD to penalize Szobo?

Mic'd up video of the disallowed goal for West Ham vs Arsenal. VAR literally telling the ref to check fouls by Trossard and Rice before the foul on Raya. The way VAR was huffing like they weren't sure, and when you're not sure, you don't give a foul.

@forestmad80 @martynziegler I always agree until I hear people imply Liverpool are somehow involved in these things, usually with zero arguments.

What a load of nonsense. The authorities continue to tip toe around the cartel lot whilst the normal clubs get sporting sanctions! Chelsea were literally found guilty of brown envelopes being handed out under Roman, City literally have 115 charges with some of them 100% guilty of them. You can sell your hotel off, you can sell the ladies team off which blatant cheating to gain advantage but Saints send some Doris up to Boro to pop in some bushes and all hell breaks loose. Financial punishment, ban the individual responsible and focus energy on fixing the shit refs, the poor VAR going’s on and give that poor United fan some clippers!

NEW: Southampton likely to face sporting sanction such as being excluded from play-off final or points deduction next season if found guilty of spygate. thetimes.com/sport/football…

One huge problem. #FSG probably didn't know Liverpool existed when Alonso was our midfield prince. Hughes and Edwards also didn't give a rat's ass about #LFC at the time either.

@PaulAndo1987 Not when you subsequently haven't had the skills to pull the squad out of the 'vacation mode' for more than a year. Then he looks like a fucking idiot.

Want him out by all means. Question his tactics, selections and man management skills all day long. But slating him for going to Ibiza after wrapping the league up in April isn’t the way to go. This will always be boss.

Fucking embarrassing competition that #ligue1

The first direct contacts between Liverpool, represented personally by Michael Edwards and Richard Hughes, and Xabi Alonso, together with his agency IDUB Global and agent Iñaki Ibáñez, already began back in December of last year, at a time where Arne Slot was going through a horrendous phase at Liverpool and Xabi Alonso himself was still employed by Real Madrid. Since then, the communication never truly stopped, and over weeks and months the discussions intensified significantly behind the scenes, involving not only Xabi Alonso himself, but also members of his coaching circle such as Sebastián Parrilla. Talks stretched deep into spring, to the point where Xabi Alonso internally began feeling that an imminent appointment during the final stretch of the season was genuinely possible. This feeling was communicated towards assistants and even former Leverkusen players of his, who now play at Liverpool and remain personally very close to him. The problem, however, was that the more serious the process became, the more distant Liverpool’s senior hierarchy once again appeared. Throughout the negotiations there was increasingly a feeling of three steps forward, and then suddenly two steps back, with repeated indications that the final green light from FSG owner John W. Henry was still missing. Xabi Alonso maintained trust in the conversations, and still highly values Liverpool as his preferred destination, but as I already reported weeks ago first, Chelsea and Manchester City continued lurking aggressively in the background, exactly because Liverpool never fully committed, and therefore continuously kept hope alive elsewhere. This has now reached the stage where Chelsea genuinely believe they have serious chances of convincing Xabi Alonso, despite Liverpool still remaining his priority for a Premier League return. The Spaniard, however, does not appreciate feeling kept warm, or played with, especially considering the elite opportunities available to him across European football. Trust, honesty and clarity are extremely important values to Xabi Alonso, and with his determination to quickly return to coaching in the Premier League, both Chelsea and Manchester City remain viewed by him as highly attractive possibilities, largely because Liverpool continue hesitating at the decisive moment.

@AnfieldSector He has been shy of expectations, but still been our 5/6th best player at worst. Virgil and Szobo are the only ones that have 100% been better. Heki and Konate have arguably been better overall. He's had too much responsibility in terms of complementing the side passers.

Around this time last year, Liverpool were first linked with Florian Wirtz. His first season hasn’t fully clicked yet, but the quality is obvious and I’ve got no doubt he’ll come good. Separate point, expect transfer news to start picking up soon. With the World Cup coming up, clubs will want some business done early. I’d imagine plenty of talks are already underway.

This is crazy. The least yellow cards, 0 red cards and 0 penalties against the team that brawls in both boxes, time wastes at every chance and literally headbutted a player last week. I’m glad City won’t win this title but this year’s title is tainted by the @FA_PGMOL

Ah yes! The Gabriel that was supposed to be banned from yesterday's gameday, but VAR wrongly spared Arsenal from it. #PremierLeague

That's actually hilarious

Dear Twitter, I have a proposal, please read all of it. Arsenal fans care more about Twitter brownie points than seeing their team actually win an illegitimate title. So I suggest we mutually come together and do one thing, because nobody can take the title (or league) seriously after today. Whenever they bring up anything, we will collectively act dumbfounded, confused, and pretend to not know what they are talking about. We respond "What are you talking about?", or "what title?". That way, we do what is right. We do not acknowledge an illegitimate league title, nor do we give them the Twitter validation they ever so grave. Hopefully it encourages them to celebrate with their friends instead of online.

@HKhaliqueLoonat Come to think of it. It's the perfect way for the FA and PGMOL to control the narrative.

There’s four fouls in this image, let alone in the whole routine. 1) Todibo pulling Raya 2) Pablo grabbing Raya’s arm 3) Gabriel pulling on Pablo 4) Odegaard holding Todibo What are we doing here man. Some people are seriously arguing this is good for football…

@RilwanBello007 @arsenalbabe_ @markgoldbridge If everything you wrote is true, how does that change what I wrote?

@johnny_b_red @arsenalbabe_ @markgoldbridge U need to see an optician.. cos I think u are getting blind mate.. two players infringed raya, one was pulling the shirt and the other grabbing his left hand .. and he made contact with the ball .. would have saved it if not for the infringement

What all the pundits are missing on Sky Sports is, of course it's a foul. But for the last 18 months they haven't been given and there are countless examples of it. So why change course today?

@arsenalbabe_ @markgoldbridge Pablo is fouling Raya. At the exact same moment two Arsenal players are fouling Pablo, taking away his possibility of legally challenging Raya and potentially causing the arm extension Raya travels 2m from his line into. Arsenal got a special treatment today, simple.

@markgoldbridge This dude is senseless…. you are saying a foul should not be given because a referee probably made a mistake and didn’t give a foul in the past? Has this guy always been this stupid or it started with his association with Gary Neville?

It's beyond a shadow of a doubt that the story at the top of the table ia engineered by the referees. They both get things others don't get that very same gameday and they both don't get penalized for things other do. City have been given abundace of decisions too.

@SibiLFC Absolutely ridiculous. This guy ⬇️ does not agree though 🤣🤣🤣

As if Madrid would say anything truthful on Alonso what kind of rubbish is this Liverpool would never ask for their opinion on him, nonetheless Liverpool have directly held talk with Alonso which is positive

@RunnerBean07 @Sinzu_7 @ReadItSaidIt @markgoldbridge I actually agree. But in terms of employing a manager and the state of Liverpool in 2016, Klopp was a relative 0% risk. Not literally in a mathematical sense, but surely you understand me. Statistically, Iraola is the standard 50/50ish risk for all the top clubs.

@johnny_b_red @Sinzu_7 @ReadItSaidIt @markgoldbridge Very few things are 100% in life, crazy to be making that assertion about Klopp, there's an element of risk or a gamble to a lot of things, saying zero risk is crazy.

Whoever gets Iraola will be making the most exciting signing of the summer. Free, great football with a poundland squad. Yes there is risk but Klopp was a risk and Iraola has done it year after year and rebuilt teams in the Prem
