Florian Wirtz is keen to leave Liverpool and sign for Real Madrid as he believes he can reignite his career under Xabi Alonso, his manager at Bayer Leverkusen. The Spanish side, however, have no interest in such a deal as it stands. (Source: Fichajes)

even though the source is gash i find this hilarious to read. 😂

This will no doubt have Eghbali salivating that he might be able to pick up a "£116m" player for only £75m, thus offering considerable resale profit potential !

Arsenals Saliba has been talking up their chances of winning the quadruple. Stating his belief they can do it.

He has already discounted our chances against Arsenal in the league cup, saying Arsenal have "3 games left in the competition".

Statements like that are always likely to end in ridicule. ( Hopefully) . If they start Kepa someone should tell Maresca that we need to bombard him with long range shots as he has a tendency to dive only to end up in the same spot.

So as it turns out Man Utd have nobody who can pass from deep without Fernandes playing. Not sure what their plan is - hope that Mount wins the ball high up the pitch?

Or they could do that I suppose. c**ts

Exclusive preview of my new ballad:

My name is Dixon, my friends call me Lee
The simplest concepts always confuse me
A plugger of a right-back from back in the day
How modern football works I cannot say
A cretin, a dullard, my words asinine
These modern players should just grow a spine
Call it old-fashioned, you can call me a dick
But I miss the old days when us players were thick.

Lewis Hall... One good shot but loads of mistakes and bad decisions

Livramento was a bad sale from us. Lewis Hall was not.

Unless it's a fitness/minutes thing, I'm not really sure why Howe took off Woltemade for Wissa, the latter of whom is really not a 'ping balls at him against a packed defence' kind of striker.

Need to know " to the tune of " mate.

I've tried a few " His name is Tommy Baldwin" for example, but it doesn't work.

I was about to say 'no idea' but it turns out it works to the tune of 'Wild Rover'

United up to 5th if they win. So bizarre

It’s amazing how Newcastle don’t throw themselves around when they are trying to equalise.

Lammens looks like a combination of Lando Norris and the Jewish doctor from Northern Exposure, with the sum of both their hair volume.

Anthony Gordon has had a sh*te game and still looks like Big Bird.

The attacking quality on display this evening was f**king dire. If either of these sides qualify for the Champions' League one of Maresca, Emery, or Slot should be trebucheted out of the country.

It does ! 👍

sh*te Liverpool and sh*te United on same points as us although United have played 1 game more.

Liverpool,home to Wolves next. I reckon we gotta beat Villa or Liverpool go above us, but wouldn't be surprised if Liverpool f**ked it up ! Come on you BLUES !

OF COURSE Newcastle only turn up for chels, where was that 1st half intensity given to us, away from home or not, just so typical really. The points dropped there even bigger now considering the state of the table.

More like we didn't turn up in a big away match. AGAIN.

Newcastle are dreadful away from home this season.

Football may be going through it's driest era in terms of quality footballers. The football I have watched this season has been abysmal across Europe.

This push for turning footballers into supreme athletes with every part of their physical condition monitored to get them in peak human condition and coaches intent on playing a variation of Pep ball has done so much damage to this sport. Even a lot of League 1 and 2 teams try and play this way.

The only part of football I think this era has improved on is ball control, everything else has gone backwards. You can count on 1 hand how many truly world class strikers exist now.

Sell Enzo. Buy Anderson.

Looking like a good day for Arsenal so far.

Nope

Rayan Cherki how much was he because he’s showing up every one of our attackers barring Cole and Estevao
