Enjoyed the Villa fans singing 'Premier League, corrupt as fuck' right as the referee failed to award Arsenal a stonewall penalty.

I feel like people are wildly overrating him because he's fun to watch. His scoring record is ok at best and he barely creates anything: 4 assists in 68 PL matches. Cherki and Foden each have that many in their last 5.

🚨 EXCL: Manchester City reach agreement in principle to sign Iliman Ndiaye. Deal for 26yo attacker £65m package + in process of being finalised; medical expected Tuesday morning. At paperwork stage before Senegal int’l joins #MCFC from #EFC @theathleticfc.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/athletic/754...

Absolute state of Alcaraz's new hairdo. Get it cut you bum.

That Gakpo deal is one where it's difficult to decide which is more idiotic: City for offering £80m or Liverpool for declining it.

Watching Harry Winks waddle ineffectively around the pitch for Cagliari and I’m reminded that as late as 2022 there were people calling for him to be in an England tournament squad.

Sold for £16k. Pretty sure it's a record price for the card.

New arrival if anyone has a spare £15k

Transfer market has gone stark raving mad this summer. It's come to something when the one deal I've seen that's made me think 'that will look a bargain in a few years' is an 18 year old going for 100m Euros.

Surely we're all agreed that Spurs going down after their summer spend would be the funniest moment in Barclays history.

It's ridiculous how often keepers and defenders are allowed to take out attackers in the box, just because they've gotten a shot off. Nice to see one actually being given as a foul.

Enjoying this Alvarez saga. Memories of some of the excuses I gave to school as to why I couldn’t turn up.

Catching up on the Diamond League, just got the 400 hurdles and dear lord, what the fuck have I just watched.

Pretty decent draw that, should easily get through and a realistic chance of being top 8.

Catching up on the Champions League highlights and seeing a Scotsman playing for Dinamo Zagreb:

If Bournemouth can keep hold for this season then I'd love Alex Scott at United next summer. Miles better than Wharton but gets a fraction of the hype.

Red Bull might well have the best combustion engine, but it's completely insane to exclude the battery from this calculation when it provides 50% of the power. www.autosport.com/f1/news/fia-...

Red Bull officially named F1's best engine as FIA makes ADUO results public

The FIA has confirmed that Red Bull will miss out on development tokens after the first two ADUO periods

Alvarez this morning:

Fabrizio Romano (MIRROR)@fabrizioromano.yopro20.com · last wk.

🚨🤒 Julián Álvarez, absent from training at Atlético Madrid due to illness as he feels unwell — as @marca reports. Arsenal are still attentive to the situation if Julián decides at any point to open doors to a move. Álvarez only indicated Barcelona as desired club so far.

One of the worst second leg performances I've ever seen.

Difficult to put into words how pathetic Celtic have been here. Imagine throwing away a tie from 4-0 up.

I do enjoy how blunt the Dutch are.

Fulham are so ridiculously open that it's difficult to know if Chelsea have been much good here. League 1 teams wouldn't struggle to create chances against a side playing like this.

Just had to cancel and refund an order because the address was in a West Bank settlement. Nope, sorry, I'm not doing business with anyone willing to live in a place like that.

That was some drive from Alonso.

£115m and worse than a centre back playing in midfield is it.

Think this will look a bargain in 5 years time.

🚨 BREAKING: Manchester City reach agreement with Lille to sign Ayyoub Bouaddi. Deal for 18yo #LOSC midfielder worth €95m + €5m bonuses on 5+1yr contract. #MCFC land Morocco international - key target following Rodri departure 🚨 @theathleticfc.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/athletic/737...

Sky doing a pre-race piece on why the Williams drivers have decided to stay. In the case of Sainz at least, I can think of 30 million reasons why.

Madrid are not a good side at all. I'll be amazed if Mourinho lasts the whole season.

This has certainly been a performance from Spurs.

Rained on the last lap of the sprint race and rained at the end of qualifying. The weather is trolling us here.

I see Gerard Lopez has killed Bordeaux. My favourite bit of his nonsense was giving Raikkonen a contract with a 50k bonus per point scored. He was betting that his team's cars would be shit so he wouldn't pay much. Turned out the cars were good and Raikkonen earned 19.5m Euros that they couldn't pay

Coventry appear to have Onana wearing whiteface in goal.
