Newcastle have only gone and bloody won the cup. Where do you want your statue Eddie Howe. This team have achieved immortality. The golden boys #nufc

The only thing left for Manchester City and Abu Dhabi is to gaslight, threaten and continue with their legal warfare. They are in so deep now with the denials it’s too late to change course. Don’t back down, double down and then lash out at everyone when you known you’ve been backed into a corner. Hence the reported threat to pull investment out of the UK and the exertion of state to state pressure. It’s desperate stuff

Then we shall withdraw our defence and intelligence co-operation. Bluff and bluster. We saw all these same things at play when Saudi Arabia’s PIF wanted to buy Newcastle and Boris Johnson was PM. Absolutely nothing happened to influence PL decision until they stopped piracy of PL games in Saudi Arabia

Following a tumour and a knee injury that ended his playing career at just 21, Matthias Jaissle has overcome adversity to reach England’s top flight⁠ ⁠ “I was only five, but I learnt a lot about life already. How important it is to be healthy and how grateful you are to be healthy and follow your dream. It was not clear I would be able to play football at that age."

Iconic piece of broadcast journalism from @RobHarris. The sham club line stings, you can see it land.

Manchester City are going to be relegated a long way down the football pyramid aren’t they?

🚨 The Premier League has confirmed Manchester City are guilty of all charges related to serious breaches of financial rules and hit out at them for arranging “sham contracts”. The club have until Friday to appeal. Find out what the independent Commission found below ⤵️ telegraph.co.uk/football/202…

Man City received £949.94m in commercial income from Abu Dhabi sponsors between 2009-2018. Only £119.25m came from sponsors -- the remaining £830.69m were "Tagged Sums" paid by Abu Dhabi United Group (City's owners)

Alan Pardew banned me for writing a completely accurate story about a dressing room clash that was sourced from two players, a member of his staff and a club executive. He then lied about it to the rest of the media pack and said it was nothing to do with him. The club withdrew its threat of legal action and we refused to apologise for publishing an accurate story. He created the toxic atmosphere and almost got relegated in his second full season surviving on the final day. A very thin skinned individual who came up with the immortal line “this win is for Mike (Ashley)” #nufc

The game in Scotland has slumped to its lowest ebb. @LukeEdwardsTele explains why ⬇️ 💰 Financial strain 🏃🚪 Talent drain 🇬🇧👋🇪🇺 Brexit poaching ❌ Botched youth development 🔐 Old Firm short-termism 🔗: telegraph.co.uk/football/202…

Exhibit A. Senior Reform politicians have lost the plot amidst poll slide chaos. Tricky Dickie in particular is having a shocker 😂😂😂

✍️ COMMENT Eddie Howe is not thinking about football at the moment let alone where he might want to go next but he will be back. What are his options? telegraph.co.uk/football/202…

Watching game at Wembley and it’s clear playing England in Sept when players are fresh and temperature is mild is much harder than playing them at the end of a long and gruelling PL season in heat of a foreign summer. Spain are brilliant but England really impressive too #england
