    20 yrs since the Glazer takeover in May. So much since then, but this is about the weirdness & conflict of that 2004/05 period. The secretive family who came from nowhere to control #MUFC. And what the club was like before. Speaking to those who were there

    Karius sobbing uncontrollably & apologising to Liverpool supporters. Should be remembered the effect that mistakes, doubt & then depression had on the late Robert Enke. It is sport, & it means a lot but it is just sport & all of us make mistakes

    The Var review to disallow Werner's goal at Chelsea rewound so far into the move it felt like Lampard might have been manager when the alleged foul was committed

    Lampard & Mourinho really sniping at one another across the tech areas. 'F------ hell Frank, when you're losing 3-0 you're not standing up here'

    Although Stephen Hawking proved in 1974 that black holes emit matter it took until Tuesday night for Jose Mourinho to demonstrate that man could create a similarly vast, mind-numbing void while omitting Mata

    Without wishing to sound impolite to Thomas Tuchel, who has only accepted a job offer from the FA, but - once again - the England manager should be English. Nationality is the whole point of international football

    Throwing money at overseas talent reduces international game to an imitation of club football – the FA should have hired an English coach

    Two days ago Sam said the FA hiring Pep Guardiola "would be most ambitious project for governing body since the rebuilding of Wembley". Guardiola is not English. telegraph.co.uk/football/2024/…

    PGMOL confirm that VAR Darren England thought the Luis Diaz goal had been given. His ‘check complete’ was made on that assumption - that the goal stood. In fact the opposite was the case & so ref Simon Hooper assumed ‘no goal’ was correct. A dismal night for VAR & PGMOL
