Vinicius Jr is younger than Eddie Nketiah, Modric is older than Wayne Rooney. Just classic chronology.
EXCL: Declan Rice interview - My game in my words 🔥 Igniting Arsenal fans 👊 “He got crunched” ❌ Diagonals out 🔗 “Short relationships” in 🔁 Playing “same side” 🎱 Occupy zones ⬆️ Arteta’s pitch “height” 🤫 6 PL goals & 7 assists Via @TheAthleticFC: theathletic.com/5439408/2024/0…
Since Jamie Vardy turned 30 in Jan 2017 he's scored 102 Premier League goals, 18 in the Championship this season and hopefully a few more in the PL next season. Just pure 4th decade productivity.
Sheffield United suffered another thrashing on Monday but are they the worst team in Premier League history? 🔴 Swindon conceding 100 goals in 1993-94? ⚪️ Derby's 11 points in 2007-08? @oilysailor takes a look at where #SUFC sit in the all-time pantheon of terrible sides.
With Arne Slot deal agreed, what exactly is his tactical identity? And how might this translate to #LFC's current crop? 💫 Back post chances ↙️ Cut back creation 🌬️ Aggressive press Analysis with @adjones_journo and @CDEccleshare for @TheAthleticFC 👇 theathletic.com/5442297/2024/0…
On this day 87 years ago, German and Italian planes bombed the northern Spanish town of Gernika at the behest of General Franco. This is the story of the Picasso painting it inspired, the town’s football team and the painful process of memory since then. theathletic.com/5438566/2024/0…
I think there might be a pipeline problem for left-backs. For very different reasons, compared to 10-15 years ago they’re less likely to be converted wingers and also less likely to be converted centre-backs. So where will they come from? theathletic.com/5444483/2024/0…
The top five non-pen scorers in the PL this season were all born in England Watkins 19 Foden 16 Haaland 16 Solanke 16 Bowen 15
the only player to assist more PL goals than Kyle Walker in April 2024 is Sergio Reguilon. What a month.
this is going to be the biggest Steele-fuelled PL title win since Blackburn in 1994-95

@TheTotallyShow @acjimbo @oilysailor @CDEccleshare @adrianjclarke I believe I read that Bartholomew the Miller was a tremendous young talent back in the day (perhaps the 🐐) until he blew out his ACL on a wet windy Wednesday in Wigan. Sadly, leech therapy did not work & he never regained his blazing speed, power or ability to change direction
Genuinely the first person I thought of.
