“The evening didn’t start well for Everton, keeper Richard Wright injuring his ankle in a freak accident during the warm-up.”
⚡Flashback⚡ The year is 2018. Everton have spent £200m on an array of sparkling talent. Ajax’s captain, a Spaniard who scored more than Neymar last year, Man United’s record goal scorer, defenders, midfielders, number tens, strikers, wingers! And we’re shitter than ever.
Lest we forget amongst the Man City murk... Chelsea - the modern one - not the weird 70s dilettantes who had hair dryers in their changing rooms so they could coif their hair *just* right - was founded on corruption.

All this glazing of Kane and Ronaldo for their international caps and goals, records being broken left right and centre. But but but... Didn't they play far less international games in the past?! (I kind of know the answer already)
.@HenryWinter on punishing the 'Big 6' for their Super League plot: "The punishment will be other teams and fans want to beat them even more. No points deductions. That punishes players and fans who fought owners." Winter on West Ham not receiving a points deduction in 2007: 👇
Dixie Dean (1925-1937) 399 Appearances, 349 goals “There was an atmosphere wherever Dixie went; there was excitement. I've seen around 2,000 people following him around in places like Switzerland, Germany and France. He was bigger and better than life.” – Joe Mercer
Remember when Phil Jagielka got sent off for this courtesy of ref Craig Pawson? Then he let Ruben Neves take the free-kick far closer to our goal. (Of course, he scored) We drew that match 2-2. If we'd have won, we'd have finished about Wolves at the end of the season... And qualified for Europe.
I like her, but Jenna Bush Hager - daughter and granddaughter of Presidents, BA in English - saying "eck-specially" on the Today show isn't good is it?

Gonna keep pushing this today. My thoughts on how to process the USMNT failure against Belgium amid our quest to "grow the game" in the United States.
Jason Davis@davisjason.bsky.social · 4mo agoI wrote about the USMNT loss, what it does and does not say about our "progress" as a soccer nation and how I wish for USMNT fans the ability to be normal sports fans. jason-davis-soccer-eagle.ghost.io/world-cup-da...
Shearer: "At some point someone's gotta go past someone, someones got to produce something SPECIAL!" Rashford: *Immediately skies a cross/shot* THIS IS ENGLAND.
