Wonder what this will mean for Gazprom sponsoring the champions league. They’ve always been such an odd sponsor for the competition.

I love the saltiness in this video


With how much of a meme the Arsenal Fan TV guys have become you'd think people would be reluctant to put themselves out there to look like twats like that. But maybe some people want that kind of recognition.

[Romano]: André Onana: “It’s my right to not sign a new contract. I did a great job for this club for so many years, and I think my time is over at Ajax. Everyone has responsibility if I don’t sign”. #Ajax Onana will join Inter as free agent starting from July - deal already signed.

[The Athletic] Balotelli: "I am 100 per cent sure that my quality is the same level as Messi and Ronaldo, but I missed some chances. Nowadays, I can not say I'm as good, but if we're talking about only football quality, I have nothing to be jealous of, to be honest."

UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin has said that a biennial World Cup is “off the table” and that FIFA has realised the proposal is a “no go” for the sport.

[Simon Stone] Juventus chairman Andrea Agnelli on European Super League: "This is a collective work of 12 teams, not one person. 12 clubs signed a 120-page contract. It still binds 11 of those clubs."

As city fan Roy Keane was spot on no passion
Unfortunately (or maybe it is fortunate considering how things turned out) I wasn’t able to watch the whole game because I had to leave part way through to go out for someone’s birthday. So I saw up to around De Bruyne’s second goal. And although United were losing at that point (which isn’t surprising really) I thought they looked better than I expected and were being proactive in their approach which was good to see. But there definitely seems to be a pattern with United that they look decent early on and then collapse as the game progresses. It’s happened a bunch of times now. I wonder if it’s a fitness issue due to the shift in style under Rangnick, like it took Liverpool a while to adapt to Klopp’s style, but could also be a mentality thing with them not trusting it and falling apart.

Also, Prison Mike Prison Mike I noticed Sancho getting booed during the game. Among City fans are there hard feelings towards him over him leaving City or just now that he plays for United?

Andres Iniesta: Captain Tsubasa (titled "Olivier and Benji" in Spain) was my favorite anime. I couldn't believe that I could come to the country where that anime was created. I am so grateful to have met Yoichi Takahashi, the author of the anime.

Palmeiras coach Abel Ferreira on defending with 3 at the back: "It's like having sex. Sometimes it's in the kitchen, other times in the bedroom, other times in the bathroom. But it always has the same end goal. It's the same when constructing our back 3"
