Think Messi’s performance across the whole 120 was probably ‘better’ but I don’t think I’m being hyperbolic when I say Mbappé from the 80th onwards was the most dominant individual display of inevitability I’ve ever seen in a sporting event, especially in a game of that stature.

- So long, warrior 🫡🥹Granit Xhaka to Bayer Leverkusen, here we go! Agreement reached in May now being signed between clubs — green light arrived after Rice deal done. 🚨🔴⚫️ #transfers Arsenal will receive €25m fee for Xhaka. Understand Granit will sign until June 2028, five year deal. Done. ✔️
- I watched and listened to Pool faithful Steven Gerrard tell Bukayo Saka to “learn to toughen up” as he was being kicked to shit week in and out. Forgive me for failing to hide my smile as he’s being chastised for being ‘dirty’. My boy toughened up (;
- Calafiori, by the way! Not a care in the world for the stale 73 minutes that preceded his entry – just wanted to get on the pitch and have fun. He'll force himself into the starting XI at some point. The personality, the left-footed angles, the boundless carries, we need it all.
- Who sent off Martinelli against Wolves for the famous "double yellow"? Oh yes, Martin Oliver.
- Hurled through the mud by his own country when he was still a teenager. Came back stronger and even better, spearheading his club towards a title charge and England’s best performer in the World Cup, still only 21. You’re more than we’ll ever deserve. Thank you Kayo 👑
- Man City have bid for Declan Rice.
- Saliba man of the match at Old Trafford, Anfield and Etihad. No central defender comes close; all-timer of a season.
- Somehow City fans have created a siege mentality after violating pretty much every rule under the sun. And it's completely working lol cus this goes so hard.Heroes & Villains 🔵
- It's fitting that this happened at Villa Park, where, in last year's fixture, Gerrard told Saka to 'toughen up'. Every week I watch this guy get kicked to shit; he gets reffed completely differently to his peers. Provoke at your own peril, he's as tough as they come lol.Thierry Henry message to Saka recently: "Big players are not nice."

- Raya is gonna be playing for a contract so we’re unlocking the dawg in both GKs at the same time 😭🚨 EXCL: Arsenal taking David Raya on £3m loan + £27m buy option. Brentford contract extension (#BrentfordFC get fee if #AFC sign & retain value if not). Said goodbyes today, medical likely Thurs. Paperwork stage.

- A De Zerbian staple: territorial encroachment of the opposition to entice engagement. If a means of progression cannot be reliably found immediately (see in video), surrender territory and play the long game; reorganise to disorganise. An exercise in protagonism.Just wanna give them both a hug 🥹 #LoveIsland
00:00 - It has been studied. He did the studying.
