The minamino transfer was a flop but we won't read or hear about it.

not in their eyes as they sold him for double what they paid?!

The headline on the football page actually says “How a chance meeting made Liverpool’s next star” then when you go into it

Was listening to TalkSPORT (I know, I know) on my way home from work last night and Danny Kelly was discussing the proposed kick in instead of throw in by Wenger.

He mentioned that Liverpool were the foremost proponents of the passback to the keeper during their period of domestic dominance and it made me curious about when the passback rule was changed to when the keeper was no longer allowed to pick it up.

Having played a lot of football in my younger years I thought the rule may have been introduced in the 80’s. I was surprised that the rule was brought in for the European Championship in 1992 and implemented in the Premier League’s inaugural year.

One top division title since the passback laws were changed. They‘ve really just become an above average cup team.

Steve McMahon was an absolute master at it.

Surprised he got that forehead in that little plane.

That's just trick photography.
He actually travelled on an Antonov 124 - more headroom. (Should have been the AN225, but the Russians blew it up)

Ahahahahaha. Oh Christ.

I mean I know all those local news sites are biased and crap, but this one really is on another level. Good God.
