Been really impressed with #BrentfordFC and Keith Andrews so far.
Like most, I didn’t give them much of a chance, but they’re both effective and a good watch.
Kayode great at creating chances with his feet as well as his throws, and the direct passes from Damsgaard and Henderson fantastic.

There was me thinking #WHUFC might show a bit more tonight in Nuno’s first home game.
This has been absolutely dreadful from them so far. Brentford should be 2 or 3 up.

Could still be some late twists, but on the face of it, Chelsea replacing Jackson, Nkunku, George and Delap as available attacking options with Garnacho, Guiu and Buonanotte in these final days of the window feels… suboptimal?

That’s the first ‘wow’ free-kick I’ve watched live in ages. Stunning from Szoboszlai.

Thought Dominik Szoboszlai had a really good half there playing out of position. Very difficult circumstances for Liverpool in the first half hour and he really stepped up.

1. This must just be to annoy Tottenham as don’t really see how he gets many games.
2. Quite surprised Hincapie is only 23! Feels likes he’s been around for ages

Pretty much the only explanation for VAR not giving that handball is deliberately avoiding a red card 10 minutes in.

A very Tottenham night for Thomas Frank to experience in his first proper game in charge.
Plenty of positives for Spurs to take generally but a harsh reminder of the psychological barriers there still are to overcome even after the UEL win last season.

Sinner vs. Alcaraz is fast becoming one of the great rivalries in all of sport.
Three absolutely ridiculous winners from Sinner in that final service game to level at 1 set all.

Pretty tough to watch this #Wimbledon final.
Swiatek immense but Anisimova looking completely overawed by the occasion.
Really hope for her sake she gets a game or two on the board.

Decent enough game between Real Madrid and Al Hilal but yet another match at this Club World Cup where the weather/scheduling is clearly just too much for many players.
Wouldn’t fancy attending some of these mid-afternoon games in Miami/LA just to watch let alone play.

Absolutely insane #RolandGarros final.
5 set matches always a reminder of how tennis is probably unmatched as a test of fitness.
The level both Sinner and Alcaraz are still playing at after 4.5 hours is remarkable.

Really like the Cunha to #MUFC deal. Obviously going to take more than him to sort out the sizeable mess at Old Trafford but he’s a perfect fit for Ruben Amorim.

This doesn’t change the fact that PSG’s takeover resulting in a European final that one-sided against Inter is quite concerning.

That’s not to say there aren’t big signings in this squad (obviously plenty) but the balance and work ethic that Enrique has instilled makes them great to watch and therefore likeable.
A feeling that Paris are a quality, tactically excellent team but not a ‘cheat code’ somehow.

PSG not really a club that’s easy to be ‘happy for’ when finally winning the Champions League, but it’s great that it’s happened with this manager and this team rather than the ‘galactico’ filled sides we’ve seen across the past decade.

An England call-up for Trevoh Chalobah to mark the end of a pretty remarkable season of resilience.
The way he has played and conducted himself during difficult (and I’d argue very unfair) circumstances has been so impressive. Delighted for him.

Jackson’s red was obviously a big moment today, but largely just emphasised the problem #CFC have had all season of a lack of an additional centre forward.
Newcastle looked better both in terms of tactics and intensity even before the red card.

Wasn’t able to watch last week’s first leg live and was obviously gutted to have missed it.
Mainly because there was no chance the second leg would then be an entertaining 3-3 as well.
What a tie.

Imanol Alguacil to leave Real Sociedad at the end of the season.
What an unbelievable job he has done. The consistency in qualifying for Europe in recent years will be very difficult for his successor to match.
A wonderful era that will forever be remembered for that Copa del Rey triumph.

Increasing danger of Girona being relegated in the same season that they’ve played Champions League football for the first time.
Shocking again in that first half vs. Betis and likely to now have a record of 1 win in 13 league games.

Some strike from Fede Valverde, that.
Thought we were looking at a 0-0 this evening but Real Madrid deserved to find that moment of quality. Athletic Club have offered so little on the ball all night.

PSG going to really have to dig deep now. Even midway through the first half when they were playing so brilliantly on the ball, there was still that feeling that something like this could happen given their UCL history.
Was surprised to see Watkins left out for #AVFC but Rashford incredible there.
