I just learned that Tino Livramento is from Croydon and has played for England under 21's Prior to this season had a year out with an ACL tear. Originally Chelsea academy player. But yes, very well thought of - hence Newcastle paying £40m for him despite his injury. Before the move he had more appe...

Perhaps the most unnoticed element of Arsenal's form is their defence. Just four goals conceded in their last eight, and one of those Ramsdale's error, one an own goal.

Beginning to feel like when, not if, Southgate gives Quansah a call-up. Immense again yesterday. Bizarre to think he was playing for Bristol Rovers last season, and by most accounts, not setting the world alight.

Elliott's terrific form continued - he must be an outside bet for the Euros squad.

We do have a cracking title race, don't we? It's a shame that race is now curtailed by an international break. Three weeks until teams play again. Obviously best result for Liverpool at the Etihad is a draw. They could be top again if they can beat Brighton at home. Spurs are going to have a massiv...

Aside from the obviously crap officiating - that performance by Endo at 6 for Liverpool is one of the best in recent memory. Outstanding from start to finish. Calm, composed. As languid around the pitch as a short Japanese guy can ever look. He can tackle hard, too.

Winston Biscuit In Segunda, with Leganes dropping points recently its all become very close at the top and 6th places Elche are only 3 points off the top

Some interesting game to come today.

Cartagena get another win!

Real Racing Club are 9th in Segunda Division, and are only four points off the top.

Terrific game. Another day, Liverpool win 3 or 4-1. Another day, City nick it and Doku's shot goes in off the post.

But that was a penalty. Every time. Appalling refereeing.

I'd counter the supposed usefulness of the 'scanning' stat anecdotally. 'In my playing days' I spent a lot of time looking around having no clue what was going on at all.

'pparently the 3.45pm this Sunday is a police request. Not sure how that 45 minutes makes the game that much easier to deal with.

Meaning no disrespect to good intentions, but I think there is next to zero chance that the local economy could raise anything like the money needed to make a difference at RFC even for a month, nevermind the longer term.

We're nearly there. Leicester need to win at least eight of their remaining ten games. Seven wins and they can only reach a max 105 points.

lol

That is glorious, made all the better by the timing of Aberdeen's opener.

Quincy Promes is hiding in Russia, and in the short-term might avoid jail, despite being handed an 18-month prison sentence for stabbing his brother at a party. Russia won't extradite him. Promes is also now on trial for his part in a cocaine smuggling ring, and prosecutors, in his absence from the...

They have to be the worst team in PL history on watching them Yeah, I don't remember Derby being this awful. Arsenal the first team in English football league history to win three consecutive away games by five goals or more. I would imagine not many teams have lost three in a row at home by that m...

Paul, fourth official in the PL is right at the top of the tree, would we know who you were, recognise you as a league referee?

I can see why there is a struggle for Sunday league referees - increasingly a cesspit for violent behaviour and abuse.

Sutekh Shame the defensive options are so meagre and we're screwed for a striker if Kane gets crocked.

I think Watkins would chip in with a few goals if needed.

Leverkusen now 34 games unbeaten in all competitions, entering rare territory. Since the advent of European competition, Benfica hold this particular record, going undefeated in 48 matches between December 1963 and February 1965. Six other sides have reached 40 games without defeat in all competitio...
