Kimmich absolutely shat himself when Jack got the ball in the build up to the first.

How the hell does Sterling actually play for a team that obsesses over possession and passing?

And completely **** us as Grealish slides up City's priority list...

Just get Kane off now, would prefer Ramsdale to whatever the **** he's offering

At least try to compete for the header Kane you useless prick

Rice and Phillips are not a good enough midfield duo at this level, especially to just sit back and soak up pressure.

It's echoing this tweet from Friday, but he is at Wembley (presumably working the game) so could have just been showing Percy some love when the crowd were singing Sweet Caroline.

Grealish, ESR and Alvarez triple announcement? Anything less and I'll riot.

Not really, there's a wiki page on it You've got Gary Neville, Jamie Carragher, Tony Adams, Jack Charlton, Ledley King, Lev Yashin, Rogerio Ceni. And then still active players there's Messi, Muniain, Koke, Akinfeev, Busquets, Muller.

Johnson can't be setting the precedent that you can get sacked for having an affair.

I highly recommend to people that don't understand why some are so pissed off with this to read Joey D'Urso's reporting on this issue over the past 6 months in the Athletic. Here's the first special report he did, with the main headlines below; So it's actually quite likely the club didn't dig very deeply into this new sponsor, because they don't care to know more. They have a white label licence, that's enough for them, it doesn't matter that all it takes is a service fee to a middle man to get one. It also mentions in the article that some clubs don't allow their best players to appear in advertising for these companies, only the older, less valuable ones, so clearly the clubs recognise it's a bit dodgy. I think gambling in football on it's own is a big issue that needs to be taken seriously, I'm tired of every match having 10 minutes before, after and at half time shouting at me "BET, BET, BET! Please gamble responsibly. When the FUN stops, stop.". But these Asian companies using white label middlemen really take the cake, and for me it's disappointing that Villa got rid of one to go straight to another. At least we don't have one as our main sponsor anymore.

I don't think it was so much that it was unprofessional (even though that's what he claims), more that his editor probably got pissed off that he tweeted it out without an article linking back to the Brum Mail for clicks, which I suppose is unprofessional for a journalist.

Pretty sure Romeu can play CB as well, so possibly being looked at to cover both positions?

I don't care how good he is for Spurs, I absoultely hate Kane playing for England. Maybe if we had a manager that knew what they were doing they'd tell him actually play up front

There will definitely be some players that leak in exchange for more favourable stories being ran about them in the papers, but also I reckon there's an element of the England staff leaking to gauge public opinion of certain decisions. It may be a bit conspiritorial, but for me I don't believe the story for a second that Alexander-Arnold was told months ago that he was included, and I personally think Southgate was uncertain on it right up until the final selection, and wanted to gauge how pissed off people would be if he was left out.

I've been telling you all for about 11 years now...

It exploits those gambling though. Especially in the completely unregulated markets that these companies are marketing to, companies that also fund organised crime and are essentially money laundering operations. Edit: Also I wouldn't be surprised if these companies exploited and enslaved workers too, due to their illegal nature.

Also the fact that his contract has been "nearly signed" for about 2-3 months now suggests Arsenal aren't offering him what he wants, so they may cash in. Still don't think it's likely, but it's not nearly as impossible as Arsenal fans are making out.

Not to piss on your chips or anything, but it's next month.

Looks like a classic Twitter "ITK" deleting tweets that are wrong.

It is absolutely criminal that with 5 subs and the bench we have available that we only made 2 subs, whilst so many players stunk the place out in that game.

That was vintage 2019-2020 Villa that performance, especially when Grealish came on. Give the ball to the creative players, then just stand around watching them and hope.

Always said Lee Dixon knew what he was talking about

Tempted to say we should stick Sterling up front with Grealish on the left.
