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

Very interesting that the new world record fee in the women's game will be for a defender. That hasn't been the case in the men's game since Sunderland paid £5,500 to South Shields for Warneford Cresswell in 1922. Here's why it makes more sense in women's football. www.nytimes.com/athletic/608...

You keep thinking that online football fandom has hit a low it can’t possibly dig deeper than. And then you see some of the most diabolical messages sent to the partners of those who happen to have had a bad game.

A game that dazzled and confused to equal measure. 👌🏽

Well… that was anticlimactic. Agonising for Tamworth.

Love this experience for the Tamworth fans. Their team has been fantastic and the fans now get to see Son and Kulusevski play too along with all of Spurs’ other stars A replay in North London would’ve been the icing on the cake, especially considering this team is 16th out of 24 in the NL 💯

Fair play to Newcastle, massive result and well deserved too - a consistent theme over their last 7 games Arsenal needed a spark, something innovative and spontaneous from open-play Just ended up being a lot of cross-and-hope against one of the tallest backlines in England towards the end #ARSNEW

James is leaving Rayo, having barely featured in six pretty much wasted months. Not a huge surprise to anyone who was paying attention as he arrived... (Rayo remains such a strange club, and Inigo Perez is doing a remarkable job as coach in the circumstances) www.nytimes.com/athletic/577...

#TOTNEW has been fantastic. Newcastle deserved the luck they got with both goals with the control they've shown against an inexperienced midfield Spence & Gray on Spurs' left are being targeted repeatedly. Spurs need a different attacking approach - the direct balls to Solanke aren't working anymore
