📖 Only Mo Salah: An intimate Portrait of the Egyptian King - published Aug 13

🇿🇦 to the 🌎
- A phenomenal player. A phenomenal person.
- 🎯 Patrick Bamford: "It's amazing the amount of uproar when somebody's pocket is being hurt. It's a shame that this doesn't happen with issues like racism."
- Patrick Vieira can't be punished for being... human. His security was compromised, personal space encroached, and he has been aggressively goaded into a reaction when simply trying to leave the field by someone who didn't have the right to be on it. Fan chose abuse amid euphoria
- Barca spent around £363 million on their three most expensive recruits - among the top six biggest ever. One started on the bench (Griezmann), the other never came off it (Dembele) and their biggest outlay (Coutinho) got an assist and two goals against them as a loanee. Wow 🥴
- Jürgen Klopp: "I won’t apologise for the view I hold on the vaccination, no matter how unpopular it might make me... "It’s never a case of ‘listen to me’ – it’s always ‘listen to those who know’. "Ignore those who pretend to know. Ignore lies and misinformation."
- This video says so much. What player approaches an opponent like this to simply say "You fucking guy?" What opponent reacts so angrily to those words? He's instantly very clear over what he's heard. The response of those in ear shot is telling too. x.com/NYCRFC/status/…
- Fake news.
- Wholesome content alert:
- Gary Neville: "When Jürgen Klopp arrived, I didn't think he could win the title with the spending power of Man City, Man Utd and Chelsea. But he's turned £30m players into £130m players. Other teams have turned £130m players into £30m players."
- Everyone else right now: 🤯 Carlo Ancelotti: 🤨
- Jordan Henderson. There aren't enough superlatives. Liverpool needed a No 6, he did a top job. They needed a right-back, he did a top job. They need a centre-back, he's had three different partners, and is doing a top job. Always the team before him. The team always turn to him.
- Manchester United's prep for the season, formative months of Erik ten Hag's reign, the new culture being created, their most complete display (v Spurs) in ages, the high of a future star scoring a late winner, the collective... all undercut by Cristiano Ronaldo. That's betrayal
- Sterling: "If people want to write about my mum’s bathroom in her house, all I have to tell you is that 15 years ago, we were cleaning toilets in Stonebridge and getting breakfast out of the vending machine. If anybody deserves to be happy, it’s my mum." theplayerstribune.com/en-us/articles…
