Ancelotti is the best manager ever. Not literally, but everyone ahead of him is a freak who’s life revolves around dots on a whiteboard, while he’s a got a CV as good as anyone while being so relaxed on wine and carbonara that he’s got that head of hair at 64.
🚨 NEW: Keir Starmer has reportedly removed a painting of Margaret Thatcher from the Downing Street study room after finding it 'a bit unsettling'

In 2009 my Dad was gonna take me all the way to Sunderland to see Oasis then bottled it and promised me he’d take me on their next tour, can’t wait to see how rattled he is when I try and hold him to it
What were the Simpsons moments where you laughed so hard you couldn’t breathe? I have two: Mr. Sparkle and Worker and Parasite - literally dying of laughter
Tuchel sent Choupo-Moting to go on as an inverted defensive false 9 in a low block, Ancelotti told Joselu to have fun and slipped him Nonna’s recipe for veal meatballs. Thats the difference, that’s football, that’s Bellissimo Gioco.
Fucking yanks weighing in now, sorry you couldn’t enjoy Geovanni in 2008 because you were being forced to remember 9/11 23 hours a day but some of us lived in a proper country with a proper sport.
You don’t miss 2000s Barclays. You miss being a kid and watching sports without responsibilities. You miss coming home from school and playing FIFA with your friends. You miss watching sports free of Twitter agendas.
Never been a pub where a dog wasn’t perfectly behaved, nobody’s bringing a nuisance one when they want a relaxed pint, people who say this are just contrarian and miserable
A consortium of international investors, which involves a member of the Saudi royal family, has made a £400m offer to buy Premier League club Everton.

on the pitch, at least, the premier league is significantly higher quality today than in the 2000s, and most people saying otherwise are just nostalgic for their childhoods.
Wayne Mardle: Thats really unfortunate how the dart has ricocheted out of the treble 20, not much else he could do there.
My Dad who’s never thrown a dart, to a 16 year old child: You fucking clown

We happened to be in Copenhagen during high school graduation. My daughter had attended her "safe and sober" graduation celebration the week before. That was culture shock.
Why do people in 2024 still drink?
It’s proven to destroy you mentally and physically.
It's proven to be a depressant
It's proven to be literal poison
It's proven to make you feel like shit
Yet there’s still a massive drinking culture.
Why are you still drinking in 2024?
I tried to tell you all if Americans actually played soccer as the number 1 sport it’d be a wrap for the rest of the world
Ridiculous athletes, Easy access, ready built infrastructure, Ridiculous money to pump into the sport. It’d be over.
Just having a smoke outside a boozer in Birmingham, homeless fella comes up to me and says “Why aren’t you smiling? Its a lovely day” so I said “Got to watch Everton later” and he said “Oh yeah fair enough”
Nothing should dispel the myth about Western countries being “full” than saying it about Ireland, a nation that famously still has a smaller population than 200 years ago largely because of, yes you guessed it, migration.
Imagine going into a German take away, looking at the currywurst, gyros, halbe hahnchen, frikadellen and doner mit alles and deciding to go for fucking cheesy chips instead FFS.
I live in Mali and commute to Mauritania for work, its completely safe. Sometimes I run to work because its so safe and the terrain is so easy to traverse.
Steven Gerrard is now failing in Saudi Arabia, two months without a win. Any reputation is quickly fading with it. To which the question must be: is this sad or funny?

“We played already 50 games this season, 41 in the Championship. They are human beings, and people don't care about that.”
Leicester City manager Enzo Maresca has critcised the Championship schedule and believes there is a lack of concern about player health.

I would love it if Luke Littler has been lying about his age. Can you imagine how much they’d be cooking us on Nigerian Twitter if after 20 years of Yakubu and Kanu age jokes our whole country was duped by a middle aged fella from Runcorn.
🚨 Everton + Nottingham Forest expecting to be informed on Monday that they’ve been found in breach of PL profitability & sustainability rules for 3yr cycle to June 2023. Both have prepared mitigation & will launch robust defences

Not a true Barclayshead if you didn’t pencil that win in when Klopp announced he was off, throw in the night game, their title on the ropes, Goodison relegation spookiness and it might as well been 2011 Barca vs Marine. The Yank data perverts will never get it.
You can maybe have your Eric Djemba-Djemba’s, your Luke Chadwick’s, your Quinton Fortune’s, you can’t have an actually good player who won everything for the empire
🚨 EXCL: Everton given 2-point deduction for breach of PL PSR rules. Penalty for 3yr cycle to 22-23. Follows 6-point deduction for previous cycle.

drop 1 spot to 16th, 2 points above relegation zone. 7 days to notify if intend to appeal

At risk of being branded a clueless American out to ruin English football...
It's stupid that Man City is about to win a title without having beaten Arsenal or Liverpool, with only 2 wins in 10 against the top six.
The case for a four-team PL playoff:
It absolutely kìlls me that people say VAR should be taken out of the game because do you understand this action literally doesn't get called without VAR?
Everton are set to be found guilty by the Premier League of breaching profitability and sustainability regulations. The Toffees will now once again be referred to an independent commission 🔵
What’s particularly unfathomable and disgusting about Hillsborough jibes is every football fan who travels home and away knows and regularly complains about how horrible the police are, but when 97 Scousers ARE KILLED they lap it up
@FootChampTv
I once seen him win a game with 4 CBs and James Rodriguez and Gylfi Sigurdsson as double false 9s, I’m well aware how good he is tactically
One of my favourite days ever.. 🥰 Thank you
@glastonbury
for sending me the footage 🙏🏻 And for any new followers who have discovered me recently through this song, yes this is the mad woman who sings it. 💃
Possibly the worst effort to £ ratio in fundraising history? Just shows that the business is as it always has been character above work rate, and this guy makes Steve Blackman look like The Rock.

You see me yeah. Mashed up differently right now. I look in the mirror I see a few things have changed in the last 211 days. Head is a jungle. Body is a wafer thin
They spent all yesterday doing ethnography on grainy photos saying he was an Asian terrorist but turns out he’s just a muppet who’s been on the sunbeds, won’t be mentioned again of course
