This Chargers attack is giving Arsenal’s a run for their money in terms of co-ordination levels tonight 😔

This channel five coverage of NFL games is pretty odd, not much analysis in between plays but instead just cringeworthy games in the studio.

Who is the audience here? I know we’re trying to grow the game in the UK but this is having the opposite effect.

🚨 Mohamed Salah expected to be left out of Liverpool squad for Inter match. No final decision yet + 33yo training. Would underline Arne Slot support but not viewed as punishment; more common sense after comments & #LFC want forward to stay 🚨 @theathleticfc.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/athletic/687...
Mohamed Salah expected to be left out of Liverpool squad for Inter match
Salah said on Saturday he felt “thrown under the bus” by Liverpool and revealed his relationship with head coach Arne Slot has broken down.

Wow, pretty incendiary statement.
🚨💣 BREAKING! Mo Salah: “I had a good relationship with the manager. All of a sudden we don't have any relationship”. “I don't know why. It seems to me that someone doesn't want me in the club”.

Arsenal fear they could be without Cristhian Mosquera for around six weeks.

Assessments ongoing and 21-year-old CB still hoping to be back sooner.

Wouldn’t be shocked if he ended up with a PFA POTY award at the end of this season, absolute machine.

Was terrified they’d somehow invent a new rule on the fly to decide that was a yellow.

There’s something about free kicks being scored/taken at Selhurst Park that looks so aesthetically pleasing but I can’t work out what it is
November 30, 2025 at 1:58 PM
Fair play to United if they can hold out here, getting three points at Selhurst absolutely isn’t easy.

This might be the most organised I’ve seen the back three and midfield, it’s almost like if you give coaches time they’ll actually implement their style.

Modern version of a renaissance painting
Just like they did on Saturday against Nottingham Forest, Liverpool have conceded three at home.

PSV add to their lead through Couhaib Driouech, who took full advantage of Ibrahima Konate's failure to control the ball.

Watching Inter Milan v AC Milan and wondering why all the players, the ref and some in the crowd have red marks on their face. Turns out it's a campaign to raise awareness of violence against women and has been running 9 years.

Arsenal’s magic and dominance aside, will be interesting to see if the media pick up on what was a cowardly approach from Spurs from the first minute.

Flat, terrified on the ball and weak from the front.

🚨 Bournemouth may be powerless to prevent Antoine Semenyo sale in January. Contract includes £65m release clause; available to all clubs but must be activated by set date so #AFCB get time to replace. Applies again in summer at lower price 🚨 @theathleticfc.bsky.social

The clause must be activated by a specific date, giving Bournemouth time to replace their best player, and is available to any team.

2004, Fabrizio!
Even after drawing Sunderland, Arsenal are still in the driver's seat to win their first EPL trophy since 2003, according to Polymarket. 🏆 Who's their biggest threat to stop them?

Trossard and Saka both fantastic tonight. Given their fullbacks a real tough game and came up with big goals.

Trossard is having such a good campaign, really hoping he can stay injury free and keep consistent.
November 8, 2025 at 7:27 PM
Zubimendi touched the ball in the foul for the free kick. So if it was in the box, it wouldn’t be a penalty 😉

Nice goal from Sunderland though.
November 8, 2025 at 6:09 PM
My vote goes to Nicolas Jover.

Frank is unleashing his inner Chris Wilder with the overlapping centre half and I’m here for it
Proper 'hold my beer' moment from Micky van de Ven 🤣

What a run! #UCL

Really unimpressed with Madrid tonight. Liverpool have looked impressive for sure, but Madrid’s glaring hole in the squad is a midfielder capable of both establishing control and offering some incisiveness.

Without Courtois this could’ve been 3-0/4-0.

This trend of incessant booing and whistling when nothing is happening during play is so boring and annoying.

Only seems to happen in European competitions, but makes the game hard to watch with sound when you’re feeling under the weather, lol

Great result. Ugly game, Prague clearly sent out to try and wind Arsenal up. Arsenal dealt with it well and the extra quality made the difference.

Special moments for Dowman & Harriman-Annous and yet another clean sheet. 8 in a row now, first time Arsenal have done that for 122 years. Incredible.
