5 reasons why Eni Aluko gets no work anymore and why she’s on shitty podcasts…

Last minute freekick to win the game... Who you PICKING to take it from here?

I think Slot and Liverpool were fortunate that they had a weak Premier League to contend with last season. That applies to Arsenal this time around, too. The lack of quality of mad. Every champion is a worthy champion, but Klopp must look at the league now and feel sick!

🗣️ Spanish YouTuber AuronPlay: "There's not a single nightclub in Spain that Jude Bellingham has not visited. He loves alcohol too much." "Have you seen him in training? He's sweating all of the rum. He loves partying too much."

If you’ve coached, this will feel uncomfortably familiar. ➠ You arrive early to be organised and still start late. ➠ The session plan makes sense at home and falls apart on the grass. ➠ The bibs are there but none of them match. ➠ Someone asks if they can go in goal five seconds after you said no goalkeepers. ➠ You set up one activity and it immediately becomes a different one. ➠ The wind carries your voice everywhere except to the players you’re talking to. ➠ A ball disappears over a fence and never returns. ➠ You stop a behaviour issue and forget what you were coaching. ➠ The activity works perfectly for two players and nobody else. ➠ You realise halfway through that the space is far too big. ➠ You shrink it. Then shrink it again. ➠ Someone scores and celebrates the wrong goal. ➠ A quiet player does something brilliant and nobody notices but you. ➠ The loudest player explains your own rules back to you incorrectly. ➠ You abandon the progression you were excited about. ➠ You keep the one that actually works. ➠ The session ends better than it started, somehow. ➠ You replay one small moment in your head all the way home. ➠ That moment is why you’ll plan again tomorrow. Add yours. Every coach has at least one more.

🚨 Rúben Amorim: “I will do everything I can for Man United. This is my message to the fans. I’m suffering more than them”. ❗️ I won’t change my philosophy. If they [INEOS] want it changed, you change the man”.
