Already in use on their third shirt, but this will be the first time in 30 years that it has featured on the home kit. It's an iconic logo though. Liverpool currently just have the liver bird rather than their full crest. https://cdn.theathletic.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=770%2cformat=auto%2cquality=75...

He's clearly one of the best in the world, but his career will read a few years in a poor league at a team that could win it without him, and then a few more years in a good league in a team that could win it all without him.

I really wish he was going anywhere but Real Madrid.

Decline? I don't know. I think that's a bit knee jerk about a side that were in the title race until the final weeks of the season. A season in which they weren't expected to challenge after their midfield 'rebuild'. And that rebuild has worked. But too often they've conceded a sloppy goal - 'only' ...

Leverkusen's title breaks Kingsley Coman's streak of 11 consecutive league winners' medals with three different clubs (Juventus, PSG, Bayern) - which appears to be a record where a player has played for multiple teams. There are examples of longer streaks in countries where one team has dominated a ...

Arne Slot of Feyenoord now a front-runner to replace Klopp, with Amorim also now linked to West Ham (as is Lopetegui).

A big 'triangle' of games in the Championship. One of Hull and Coventry will likely finish 7th in the Championship - they play each other tonight, before Ipswich play each of them consecutively ahead of the final round of games.

Over to Spurs then, who play all three title chasers in the next 12 days.... They play city on May 14th. Oops. Yep, it's Chelsea (a) next midweek, sandwiching fixtures against Arsenal (h) and Liverpool (a). I do hope Liverpool can win at Everton tonight to keep it interesting. Can't see Brighton be...

Over to Spurs then, who play all three title chasers in the next 12 days....

Bernardo Silva played 120 minutes against Madrid and then 90 minutes against Chelsea. Matheus Nunes was an unused sub in both. I simply can’t sympathise with big clubs complaining about player welfare with fixture congestion whilst refusing to use their squad’s full depth. Read this view on Twitter...

I will say it again - VAR should only be used for matter of fact things. Ball over the line, challenge awarded inside / outside the box, offside. Those decisions yesterday were all about opinion and pretty much everyone has one. Let's go back to what we know and pretty much has existed before time ...

Obviously that wasn't what you said and anyone who believes that expanding international tournaments is for the good of the smaller nations is probably just being deliberately obtuse Quite. This whole thing is a lesson in obtuse from GWL. Shockingly. And it remains total bullshit that binning repla...

A proper record in sights for Leverkusen - since the introduction of European competition in the 1950s, the longest unbeaten run in all competitions is Benfica's 48 games (1963-65). The equaliser at the weekend took Leverkusen to 45 games, equalling the second longest such run of Dinao Zagreb and NK...

97th minute equaliser for Leverkusen to keep the unbeaten Bundesliga season going They will just not be beaten. 89th minute equaliser at West Ham last week. On 30th March they beat Hoffenheim 2-1, having been a goal behind after 88 minutes. Two weeks earlier they were 2-1 behind at home to Qarabag ...

enjoyed the video of the Man Utd fans outside Wembley, who quickly left when Cov thought they got the winner, but then heard it was VAR'd out, running to get back into the ground :lol: I have an Arsenal supporting mate who left our infamous League Cup tie when they were 4-2 down with a minute of no...

Pretty much defines Antony's time at United that after the club lost a 3-goal lead to a second tier club, narrowly avoided defeat thanks to VAR, and then squeezed through on penalties, he is seen cupping his ears towards Coventry's players after the winning kick. https://twitter.com/MenInBlazers/sta...

Call it 'The Ninety'.

On the plus side, its easier for a giant killing over 1 leg than it is over 2. So you may see more giant killings and smaller clubs progressing further and get more prize money that way. Ask an EFL club that has drawn 1-1 at home to City over 90 minutes whether they'd rather chance their arm in ext...

Silver Fox I only followed the shootout on text but did I read right that Ederson took one of Citeh's penalties last night? That's quite the bottle hob from their outfield lads isn't it?

Was the best one, too. Thunderblasted it into the bottom corner.
