Difficult to see a way out of relegation mess for #LCFC. Who is ultimately to blame? The leadership for transfers/contracts/ manager appointments? The squad? It looks far below what is needed. Or RVN? Seems to only have taken them backwards. @robtannerathletic.bsky.social’s piece from last night.

Everton are considering making Goodison Park the new home for the club’s women’s team. Nothing signed off yet. Legacy Project still on table. TFG serious about investing in women’s team. Walton Hall Park limiting in doing so. Full story www.nytimes.com/athletic/616...

Whoever takes over as Arsenal’s sporting director will find a sizeable in-tray. As well as transfers, a number of key contract renewals are on the agenda. Arsenal must secure the futures of their biggest stars & brightest prospects. For @theathleticfc.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/athletic/612...

Been my favourite centre forward in the Premier League this season. Will do great for England and is key to keeping #ITFC up. Rarely do struggling sides have a striker like him. Great insight here from @dansheldon.bsky.social and @anantaajith.bsky.social

Fair to say that with ten minutes to go, this was going to be a very different breakdown of #AFC vs #LCFC from @jordancampbell.bsky.social - but then Merino happened. Focus on Nwaneri and Lewis-Skelly as well as Trossard and Sterling.

Stu James went to watch #AFC’s rising star Max Dowman (born 2009 👀) in the FA Youth Cup against QPR. “Probably the overriding impression after watching Dowman is how totally at ease he is with a ball at his feet.”

Really enjoyed this discussion between a fan and @oilysailor.bsky.social about the use of data in the media. Particularly the stuff about PPDA, which always seems a lot easier to understand (to me) than other terms but doesn’t get mentioned as much.
