Penny fucking Mordaunt on The Last Leg, that’s the worst booking since Graham Poll showed Josip Šimunić a third yellow card

To fill a gap in my CV I've said that I was a guitarist for The Fall for a brief period. No-one has disputed this or even asked questions about it.

Yeah I like them too but he doesn’t really seem to have any joy in him at all

I still think he was a massive dick over the way D’arcy Wretzky was treated

I’m a Liverpool fan, is funny football better than good football?

Attacking players I’d have thought Jackson Irvine, if only for an excuse to watch the video again where he met Casemiro 😀

I think it would be! My other guess would be Juan Mata (still playing 😀) and a quick look at his instagram shows he does a bit of his Common Goal stuff on there

Definitely though this is an ex player, Neville Southall (the greatest keeper ever IMO!) often passes his Twitter account to individuals to raise awareness on things like trans issues, drug dependency etc

‪Full time and it’s South Korea 3-0 Iran‬

‪Korea wasteful if anything, Iran very tenacious in defence in obviously very trying circumstances and can be proud of themselves ‬

Iran started the second half brighter with a couple of shots on target, but a penalty and header from a set piece mean it’s 3-0 to Korea

It’s halftime at it’s still Korea 1-0 Iran. And these stats basically tell the whole story. Some awful Korean shooting and some brave Iranian defending

Iran about to kick off against South Korea in the AFC Women’s Cup, give current circumstances this could be a special game indeed

Holy shitting heck Francisco Conceição that is an absolute Golazo of a strike

Oh my word Wesley that’s a beautiful goal

That should be a penalty to Roma whether or not Malen decided to try and carry on with the shot, it was a blatant push in the back

It’s quite weird watching Trent play for Madrid. He’s literally just another guy in the squad compared to what he was at Liverpool. Even his squad number is meh. His number 66 was known for being him, but who cares about being the number 12?
