🚹 Erling Haaland on Goalkeeper Ørjan Nyland after Norway's win over Brazil: đŸ—ŁïžReporter: “Erling, everyone is talking about your goals, scoring double against Brazil. How pleased are you with your performance?” đŸ—Łïž Haaland: “My goals? I’d rather talk about Ørjan Nyland. Goals are easy to remember. People forget the big saves, especially that penalty stop, and the moments that keep you alive in a game. Every time they looked like they were about to score, he was there. Alongside the defence, they gave the rest of us the confidence to keep pushing forward. Sometimes your man of the match doesn’t score. Sometimes he makes sure nobody else does. That’s the kind of game he had today.”

Wesley Sneijder on Liverpool starting XI to Face Villarreal. ReporterđŸ—Łïž: What do you make out of Andoni Iraola benching wirtz, Isak and Barcola for the game tonight. đŸ—Łïžâ€œIt’s absolutely something I don’t understand from Iraola ahead of this game, it’s a champions league game where you have to bring in the quality of your squad for a breakthrough in the game before substituting them off for any players.” “This Villarreal side isn’t just a team you should expect to be defending in this game, it’s a risk there for the reds in the first half of this game because I think the attack wouldn’t be that good or threatening to them.” “With Gakpo starting tonight also will boost the team a bit but not as much if the whole attack was involve in the game, I’m not hiding anything from this game.” “The truth is that Liverpool will face the darkest side of this Villarreal super team, it shouldn’t have been this way from Iraola, he should keep his head up .”

🚹Alisson Becker on Facing Villarreal at home in the champions league tonight. đŸ—Łïžâ€œI don’t think we should be looking down on them, they’ve been here for a bigger clash, the champions league semi finals in 2022, we’re ready to get it done as a team, if we’re together as a team there’s no stopping us from getting away with a win.” “I remember when Klopp use to tell everyone in the squad that, to win you games you have to stay true to yourselves and play like family.” “And to win you trophies you have to win games, it carries a lot of work and effort to get everything together in a single season.” “I feel we can go far this season if everyone stays feet, we have the quality with the right manager who chooses to play the Liverpool style, we just have to believe it.”

🚹 Patrice Evra on Ten Hag claiming Ronaldo told Manchester United players to save their legs during training: đŸ—Łïžâ€œHonestly, I have never been the biggest fan of Ten Hag as a manager. Manchester United struggled under him, even though they won some trophies, and I think there were many things he could have handled better. But when I hear him talking about Ronaldo like this, I have to question it. If what he said is actually true, then I still don’t think it’s right to bring it up like that. Listen, there is a reason we say you train how you play. Training is where you build your fitness, your sharpness and your mentality. You cannot expect players to give everything on matchday if they are not pushing themselves during the week. And let’s be honest, Ronaldo is one of the most dedicated professionals football has ever seen. You don’t reach that level and maintain it for so many years without taking your preparation seriously. I’m not saying Ronaldo was perfect at Manchester United, and I’m not saying every decision he made was right. But if you have a problem with a player, deal with it directly. You don’t need to keep bringing up these stories publicly, especially when the player is no longer there to respond. For me, that’s where Ten Hag got it wrong. If these claims are true, explain the problem and move on. There is no need to turn it into another public discussion about Ronaldo.”

🚹 Pep Guardiola on Hansi Flick leaving Rodri on the bench against PSG: đŸŽ™ïž “I see a lot of myself in Flick. When you have these big games, sometimes you think too much. You start thinking about what you can change, what you can do differently, how you can surprise the opponent. I’ve made these mistakes myself, so I understand him. “But against PSG, you have to be very careful. They are an incredible team. They press you, they attack you, and they don’t give you time to think. If you lose control of the midfield against them, you are going to suffer. It’s that simple. “For me, Rodri is a player who gives you that control. He knows when to slow the game down, when to keep the ball, and when to help the team escape the pressure. These things are very important in games like this. “Of course, Flick has his reasons, and I’m not inside his head. But sometimes, when you have a team that is playing well and winning games, you don’t need to change too much. You trust what has brought you success. “I’ve learned this throughout my career. Sometimes you try to be too clever with your decisions, and you end up making things more complicated than they need to be. Against PSG, I would have kept the team that was working and started Rodri. In these games, control is everything.”

🚹 Wayne Rooney: “Bruno is done. Open the bank or risk a mid-table finish.” “When you ask for my opinion regarding the situation at Manchester United, I would probably say it is under control. That was the answer I would have given five years ago. Now my answer is simple: it has gotten out of control. United have become overly reliant on old logs. Not dead ones, but old logs. People look at the squad and go, we had Bruno, Sesko, Lemmens and maybe even the new kid Andre Santos, and it amazes me because most of the players in this squad are not even up to the standards we used to have in the past era. Most of the guys in that group today would not stand a chance in Fergie’s era. Yes, I said it. They would not even be signed. Bruno Fernandes has my respect for what he has achieved with this club, but he is done in my opinion. Last season he was the best player in the league despite not starting it well and the change in management, but he still ended the season on a high note. That is applaudable. But if you think he can replicate that same level again now or next season, I will say I do not see it happening. I appreciate his enthusiasm and how he carries the image of this club, his attitude and hunger to win the league and Champions League here, but I do not see that happening with the current squad and club arrangement. Just the other day Rio called me and was going mental. He was like, ‘Wayne, what sort of football is this and how is the club failing so badly?’ I said to him, ‘Relax, mate. I don’t know either, but it is obvious that the standard has dropped beyond what you can make excuses for.’ He said, ‘Wayne, I see talent in every side of this team but no real depth or direction. You can’t even make out a winning team from this lot,’ and he just went mental again. It is so stressing and mind-boggling to see how far we have fallen. Before now, players like Erling Haaland, Caicedo, Declan Rice and even David Raya would be dreaming to be signed for us. Not now. They pray their agent does not even get a call from us. Is that enough to discourage the young academy boys from wanting to go pro here? I believe it is. The earlier we get this situation sorted out or something drastic happens in the top hierarchy of the club, I do not see a way forward from here. By now I expect that United would have started lining up the perfect replacement for Bruno Fernandes. You recall what Elliot Anderson said after signing for Manchester City? He would choose them over United. That is what is up. You cannot rewrite history by constantly repeating yourself about old days. You create newer memories. Win the league or something. We are not even in the conversation for the Champions League. Rio said, ‘Imagine us playing in the Champions League with Ferguson and not considered as one among the favourites.’ That thought alone would be mental. I would not accept it. Rio would not. Even Patrice would start a fight at such a comment. Bruno cannot carry us alone. He has done his bit. Let the club open the purse and spend like a team that is ready for business, or else we will become a mid-table club. Rio said, ‘That is if we are not one already, because seven points in seven games is insane. I can’t recall any record of such in Fergie’s era.’”

🚹 Sergio AgĂŒero Questions Hansi Flick on Rodri being Benched for Barcelona at the Champions league clash against PSG: “The first thing that caught my attention when I saw the lineup was Rodri being left out. Honestly, when you look at a game of this magnitude, you immediately begin asking questions. Every match matters, but some games demand a different level of preparation. Against PSG, you are facing a team that can punish the smallest mistake, especially in midfield. Rodri is not just another midfielder. He gives the team balance. He helps the defenders, controls the tempo, protects the space in front of the back line, and allows the attacking players to express themselves. You can have all the attacking talent in the world, but if you lose control of midfield, you give your opponent an opportunity to take over the game. Look at PSG. Vitinha, FabiĂĄn Ruiz, and JoĂŁo Neves are technically excellent. They move the ball quickly, find spaces, and know how to make life difficult for their opponents. Now, imagine facing that midfield without a player who can control the rhythm, win important duels, and protect your defensive structure. “Pedri, Dani Olmo, and FermĂ­n LĂłpez are talented players. I respect their qualities, but the question is whether that combination gives you the right balance for this particular match. I understand that Flick has El ClĂĄsico and other important fixtures to consider. I also understand the need to protect Rodri from injury and manage his minutes carefully. But managing a player's fitness does not always mean leaving him out of the biggest game. Sometimes, you manage his workload around the match while still giving him the responsibility his team needs. Luis Enrique will have prepared PSG to exploit any weakness they identify. If Barcelona struggle to control the midfield, what happens when PSG begin creating chances? And if things go wrong, people will naturally question the decision. You don't leave a player like Rodri out of a match of this magnitude without carefully considering what you lose when he is not there. Football is about more than selecting your eleven best players. It is about choosing the right balance for the opponent in front of you. And against PSG, Barcelona need control, discipline, and experience in midfield. That is why Rodri's absence would concern me. Flick has every right to manage his squad, but he must also recognise when a player is essential to the team's structure. Because against a team like PSG, one tactical decision can make the difference between controlling the match and spending the entire night trying to recover control.”

🚹 Roy Keane on Leeds supporters abusing Sir Alex Ferguson at Elland Road: “I saw the footage. They’re watching Leeds against Manchester United, and they’ve found an 84 year old man in the stands to shout abuse at. It’s embarrassing. Ferguson’s been retired for 13 years. And they’re still losing their heads when they see him. I understand the rivalry. I played in those games. Leeds hate United. Fine. But why are you still so angry with a man who hasn’t managed a club since 2013? And I think I know why. Leeds were champions of England. They’d beaten United to the title, they had Eric Cantona, and everything was looking good. Then came one of the most ridiculous transfers you’ll ever hear about. Leeds contacted Manchester United because they wanted Denis Irwin. United weren’t selling him. And somehow, during those conversations, Ferguson ended up asking about Cantona. Think about that. You ring your rivals trying to buy their defender, and end up selling them one of your best players instead. For about £1.2 million. I mean, what are you doing? And people blame Ferguson? What was he supposed to do? Tell Leeds to keep Cantona because they might regret it? He saw an opportunity and took it. That’s his job. The following season, United won the league. Their first title in 26 years. I joined that summer, in 1993. Eric was already a massive figure. Brilliant footballer. He had that arrogance, that personality. Ferguson understood him and got the best out of him. Eric won four Premier League titles with United. Four! Leeds sold him as champions of England and haven’t won the league since. And somehow Ferguson is the villain in their story. Their own club made the decision. Their own people agreed to the transfer. But 34 years later, they’re still shouting at the man who benefited. You couldn’t make it up. Ferguson went on to win 13 Premier League titles. 2 Champions Leagues. He kept building teams, winning trophies, replacing great players. Meanwhile, Leeds spent years outside the Premier League. People talk about this rivalry as though both clubs spent those years competing for the same trophies. They weren’t. And United at the moment are not in the best of form So you’d think this would be the perfect opportunity for Leeds to get one over on them. They had United at Elland Road on Sunday. Their ground. Their supporters. All that hostility. And what happened? A draw. Manchester United haven’t lost there since 2002. 24 years. So while they’re shouting at Ferguson, perhaps somebody should ask why their team still can’t beat United at Elland Road. That’s the bloody football they should worry about. And I don’t want to hear this nonsense about passion. Passion is getting behind your team. Passion is demanding performances and trophies. What does shouting abuse at an old man achieve? Ferguson doesn’t need to answer anybody at Leeds. He answered them for 26 years at Manchester United. The trophies are there. The records are there. I can imagine somebody like Patrice telling him, ‘Boss, the Leeds supporters still can’t stand you.’ He’d probably say, ‘And?’ What more is there to say? They can hate him all they want. He’s not losing any sleep over it. They should be more annoyed with the people who let Cantona leave. They wanted Denis Irwin. They lost Eric Cantona. Ferguson kept Irwin, signed Cantona, and built a dynasty. And 34 years later, Leeds supporters are still shouting his name. If that’s not getting the last laugh, I don’t know what is.”

Ibrahima Konaté: The Pain Behind the Footballer That Nobody Could See. While the world saw a footballer doing his job, he was dealing with losses that football could never prepare him for. When Konaté eventually opened up about his struggles, he gave supporters a different way to understand the man they had watched on the pitch. He was not simply a defender going through a difficult season. He was a son grieving his father, a teammate mourning a friend and a man trying to understand how to live with multiple losses. His confession also challenged a familiar problem in modern football: the tendency to judge players almost entirely by what they deliver on matchday. A misplaced pass becomes a talking point. A defensive error becomes a viral clip. A poor performance leads to criticism, and sometimes supporters forget that the player being discussed has a life beyond the stadium. Konaté's story is a reminder that criticism and expectations exist alongside realities that fans may never see. It does not mean footballers should be beyond criticism. It means we should remember that they are human beings before they are athletes. Behind every shirt is a person. Behind every appearance is a life that continues when the stadium lights go out. And behind a player who looks composed on television may be a struggle that has nothing to do with football. For Konaté, speaking about depression was an opportunity to make that reality impossible to ignore. His story is not simply about a footballer who endured a painful year. It is about a man who kept showing up while struggling to understand how to cope with losing people who mattered to him. And perhaps the most important thing he wants people to understand is that nobody should feel ashamed of admitting when life has become too heavy. Because football can prepare you for pressure, defeat and criticism. But it cannot prepare you for every loss life brings. And sometimes, the bravest thing a person can do is finally tell the world that they have been hurting.

A man discovered his girlfriend had been lying to him for months. He didn't confront her. He didn't check her phone. He simply started agreeing with everything she said. Three weeks later, she accused him of cheating. His response made her cry. And no, he didn't confess to anything.

My mother-in-law wrapped both hands around her bowl and looked down. Mother-in-law: “If I mixed them by hand every day, my hands would hurt.” Husband: “But I always thought they were homemade.” Mother-in-law: “You said they were delicious, didn’t you? All of them were these.” My husband stared at the hamburger on his plate. My mother-in-law couldn’t hold it in and burst out laughing. Husband: “Why didn’t you tell me until now?” Me: “If you’re calling this lazy, who was the one eating them for twenty years saying they were delicious?” My husband started to say something, then stopped. My mother-in-law pushed the sauce toward him. That night, he quietly ate a second one and even said, “Thanks for the meal.”
