Saif Rubie

Congrats to @ToniRuediger and his family for joining the biggest club in the world @realmadrid #realmadrid #laliga #chsmpionsleague

@henrywinter What kind of nonsense is this. You're making it sound like he needs therapy 🤣🤣🤣 if that was the case he should have never been appointed. Being an EPL manager is not for the faint hearted Henry. That's why the mental side of management is more important than technical aspects

Hope the good people with the FA at St George's Park reach out to Liam Rosenior and either offer him some role with England age-group sides or some mentoring. LMA, too. To help Rosenior get what was a promising coaching career back on track.

@GuillemBalague Love your defence of your countrymen but please never in 10 lifetimes compare him to Simeone as a personality, player or manager. If Simeone spoke better English he could have been in the premier league winning everything a longtime ago.

Two things bother me about the narrative building around Arsenal. First, we're told constantly that the Premier League is the most competitive league in the world. Fine. So what does it mean to be consistently fighting for the title in that environment? You can't celebrate the league's brutal competitiveness and then dismiss sustained title challenges as not good enough. Pick one. Second, and IMO this matters more, failure in elite sport is not losing. Luis Enrique said it. Many others have said versions of it. Failure is not trying again. It's accepting the ceiling. It's going through the motions. Arteta has never done that. Every setback has been fuel for the next attempt. The problem is social media runs on binary outcomes. Win or fail. Hero or fraud. No room for nuance. No room for the manager who rebuilt a club into genuine title contenders and is still hungry for more. Simeone has been at Atlético for over a decade. Two league titles, two Champions League finals. Still no European Cup. Nobody serious calls that failure. They call it one of the great managerial tenures in modern football. And I'm convinced that given 14 years like Simeone, Mikel will win more leagues than him. Arteta may or may not win the league this year. He may not lift the Champions League this year or next. But as long as he keeps pushing, keeps trying, keeps competing at this level, failure isn't what this is. Find another name for it By the way, if City wins the league, the achievement would of course be enormous.

@CFCDray They do. About Rayo Vaycano and Espanyol 😂😂😂😂

Why do they never ask Badiashile, Tosin, Delap, Gittens, Garnacho about Madrid and Barca?

@FabrizioRomano @TheAthleticFC He should learn how to negotiate then instead of signing a 10 year deal 😂😂😂 give him my number and I'll teach him.

🚨💸 Enzo Fernández’s agent Javier Pastore: “Given what Enzo is capable of today, he deserves much more than he’s currently earning…”, told @TheAthleticFC.

6 months ago a friend told me Dubai wasn’t for him. Last week he DM’d asking which neighborhood to move to. I asked what changed. He said: “I watched Iran fire missiles 40 minutes from your apartment for weeks. And your biggest problem was finding parking near the beach.” That’s when it hit him. Stability isn’t the absence of chaos around you. It’s what happens to a city when chaos shows up next door. Dubai didn’t flinch. 200 nationalities. Zero income tax. Crime index 16 - London is 45. People didn’t leave. They moved here. God bless Dubai 🤝 God bless UAE ❤️ 🇦🇪

@Amiralammari Mabrook habibi 🔥🔥

Mission accomplished. Vamoooos!

@m1665t3r @henrywinter You clearly have no idea. You know how hard it is to play in those conditions. Many top players have gone to the middle east and failed. Ivan has gone and smashed it also won the Asian Champions League which is massive. He deserves to be on the plane.

@saifpr @henrywinter He will look back on his career with regret despite his wealth. Let's be honest the standard is not even close to the PL. I'd even go as far as to say its below The Championship standard. If you want to be classed as elite then he should playing elite level football.

30 years ago, Terry Venables could leave out Ian Wright for Euro 96 because he had Alan Shearer, Teddy Sheringham, Les Ferdinand and Robbie Fowler at centre-forward. Elite options at No 9 now? Basically, Harry Kane. Ollie Watkins, Dominic Solanke, Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Danny Welbeck are below Kane’s level. Liam Delap needs to get the upward trajectory of his career back on track again. A “minor issue” benching/resting Kane will always be a major problem for England. FA coaches at St George’s Park debate why there are so few 9s emerging. Focus on 10s and wide attackers in academies, more teams playing only one centre-forward in a 4-3-3/4-2-3-1 and cage styles leading to “ballers” not poachers are all reasons discussed. Line-leading skills, back-to-goal expertise, finishing prowess need re-developing. Because Kane is 32 and succession planning is required. #ENG

@henrywinter Agreed. But for now You and the rest of the media need to mention him loud and clear. He's hungry, strong as an ox and scores more goals than any other 9 apart from Kane. Scoring goals in Saudi is not easy in the conditions there and he's a natural leader.

@saifpr fair point, Saif, it's just that Tuchel never mentions him now. Rightly or wrongly, he's not on the radar any more. If he were still in the PL, he'd be mentioned. My general point was the dearth of emerging strikers, an academy issue.

Thanks to @Blockworks for another great DAS NYC. From exchanges and DeFi to traditional finance, our booth was a hub for engagement across the financial ecosystem.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Karma's a b**ch 😂😂😂😂

@KieranMaguire Would you need to be working in football after getting almost a 50m golden handshake on leaving after cheating the system for years on end? I think not too. And we all know who those directors are but let's wait on the FA punishment to see if they'll be banned from football.

Are the ‘senior former officers and/or directors’ of Chelsea who had knowledge and approved of the illicit payments of over £47 million to unlicensed agents and others linked to the directors who shared £49.75m for services linked to the sale of the club? Why are these execs/directors not named, are they still working in football today? All seems a bit baffling.

Well, well, well

Highlights from MWC26. A productive week of networking and advancing relationships as we bring blockchain as a network service to global telecoms.

That’s a wrap on MWC26. Thanks to everyone who stopped by the booth and met with the team. After a full week of meetings and dialogue, we’re eager to build on the partnership discussions and new connections made in Barcelona.

I’m so excited to start this journey. It’s gonna be a rollercoaster for sure but I hope to bring Dagenham and Redbridge (@Dag_RedFC) back to the glory days. For those of you that are OG fans (Race to Division One), you’ll know that this is a full circle moment for me. So join me on this exhilarating adventure and I’ll see you all at Victoria road this Saturday! I’ll be streaming too haha

Day 1 at MWC26! Excited to be back with @GSMA for a week of conversations with peers and partners as we share what it means to launch the first regulated digital asset bank in the United States. Stop by our booth in Hall 8.1 at @4YFN_MWC to meet the team!
