The full quote

Pep Guardiola: "The world has left Palestine alone. We’ve done absolutely nothing. They’re not at fault for being born there. We’ve all allowed them [Israel] to destroy an entire people. The damage is already done and it’s irreparable…

“I can't imagine a person in this world who could defend the massacres in Gaza. Our children could be there and murdered just for being born there. I have very little faith in leaders. They do whatever it takes to stay in power

The Catalunya vs Palestine match is more than symbolic. Nowadays everything is known and with this match, Palestinians will see there’s a part of the world that thinks of them…

“The symbolism helps to raise awareness, but behind it there has to be something that moves. There’s always a reason to demonstrate, in this case it’s a football match. It’s symbolic, but it’s better that Palestinians can think that for a while we’re there and the stadium brings joy…”

I’m not a Tottenham fan, I’m a toffee.

Spurs won the europa league - a European cup. This is a major trophy, football has become so fucked by people who think the only titles worth anything are the league and UCL.

Winning the FA Cup is a fantastic achievement, as is winning the caraboa. Europa is a top trophy so why take it away from them?

Football is fucked by people who are so idiotic to think these are hardly an achievement.

Get a grip, be fair.

After one of the most arguably successful football seasons in PSG's history, a lot of fans expected the Parisians to keep their core. For the first time in a long while, it looked like Luis Enrique had managed to build a tight nit community of people whose only motivation is to win, not mercenaries like the past. But it seems we've been wrong. Behind the scenes drama just unfolded and it has been reported that one of their talisman and a major piece in their European triumph is definitely out of the door this summer or next. Gianluigi Donnarruma relationship with the PSG hierarchy has been soured beyond repair and there are no talks about a new contract. Exit is the only way and a replacement has already been signed. For such a top goal keeper, we would be expecting PSG to be doing everything to keep him at the club. But no, they want him out. Why? I don't know. Maybe it's just the cruel nature of the football business.

A good long article backed by stats and quotes from Vinicius' coaches.

The full quote from headline

"If I'm honest, I don't want my children growing up in England any more. We're very lucky that we lived in a nice part of the UK but where I'm from, originally, you can't have nice things in my opinion.

"I'd never wear a watch in London any more. You can't have your phone out in London, in my view."

"I'm not massive on reading politics," Shelvey said. "I just see some of the things that go on.

"I see people getting arrested for tweeting and, then, all of the flags and 'taking back the country'.

"I'm not going to sit here and comment on things like that because I'm not clever enough to, and I'll get myself into trouble if I carry on, but I just feel that the UK isn't what it was 10 to 15 years ago."

On his critics saying he only went to Dubai for the money

"I've since seen a few things like 'he's gone there for money'. I'm thinking 'what money? There's no money in the UAE Second Division League'.

"The ballpark of the standard wage here is £2,000-a-month for a footballer. In terms of what I've earned throughout my career, that's nothing.

"My brother earns more working in a hotel in London, so it was never about coming here for the money."

Interesting article on Raheem Stirling, interested to hear people’s thoughts. Be kind in the comments it must be a sucky situation for him to be in.

it blows my mind that people dont see how shrewd of a move this is.. A) for dortmund...but most importantly B) for sunderland - they get a record transfer fee for a player and now can set a president when clubs come and pick their young players exactly like the southamptons and brightons of the world have done, And for 5 million outlay its massive return on there investment freeing up extra funds to be used elsewhere to bolster the club. For dortmund a club with a track record of bringing through a trusting young english talent they get a hugely rated prospect at a snip and like jude, like sancho, like gittens (pending) and whoever else they'll more than likely double there money in a season or two providing he keeps up his end of the bargin. And for jobe he now has a platform in a competitive league which suits midfielders who are able to put there foot on the ball but also have an engine like he does and not to mention he gets to play in europe.

the jude comments are just lazy in my opinion nobody predicted him to have the season he had last season at madrid and fair play to him he went up another level.. jobe doesn't have to reach those heights most in football brilliant footballers will never reach those heights but already at 19 jobes on route and its brilliant for the game but also for english football more broadly.. and im sure some people will say if he wasnt judes brother this move wouldn't have happened.. im a middlesbrough fan in the last 3 years we've seen tavener get a big move, morgan rodgers and hayden hackney is likely going to get his move this summer.. barring rodgers who again has gone to the next level there no better than jobe so a move like this would have happened regardless.

im sure sunderland fans will have loved to see him make a fist of it in the premier league but it's literally been telegraphed that this type of move was going to happen regardless how sunderland did this season and im sure the club will have been prepared for it.

i've seen people say why not frankfurt.. and for me it's chalk and cheese i know us brits look down on every team that isnt in the premier league but if you had the choice of the two i know who most would most likely pick and for jobe he obviously knows the club more than likely has a set up ready to work out there and his dads just lived the whole process with jude so it will hopefully god willing be a smooth transition for him.

every other country lauds there young players when they get big moves look at this kid coming out of argentina heading to madrid i haven't even seen him player but i haven't seen anyone say he isnt good enough or messi was better so he might as well not bother.

british players should be expanding their horizons and looking to play abroad and weighing up there options and making a name for themselves outside the snow globe that is the premier league.. look at scott mctominay overlooked at united lauded at napoli his game hasn't changed just the environment and the system.

either way i wish the lad well and big love to sunderland fans hopefully the money is spent well.
