Sid Lowe

Bravo The Times, bravo.

good morning

Sammy Lee: ‘Going to Spain was the best thing that happened to me after joining Liverpool’ The former Liverpool and Osasuna player tells Sid Lowe about his coaching journey, redemption in Spain and working with Sven-Göran Eriksson

www.theguardian.com/football/202... absolutely loved meeting Sammy Lee

Instead of connecting Extremadura with the rest of the country or improving connections between Barcelona/Bilbao, Seville/Valencia, Spain is instead putting its efforts into reducing travel time between Madrid/Barcelona.

Spain needs to boost its 2nd tier cities, not MAD BCN.

Do they make bottom burps?

Cristhian Mosquera: ‘Arsenal were my team growing up. They had an aura’ The Spain Under-21 centre-back talks to Sid Lowe about his club’s ‘crazy’ defensive numbers, his dual identity and his love of multicultural London

Cristhian Mosquera is very, very cool. And yes, he actually did laugh at *that* scene from The Full Monty www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Thanks! I didn’t actually know it was up yet. 👊 I really, really liked him. A throughly nice lad.

Our editorial stance is kidnappings are bad. This is not Real Journalism because it's important to be neutral about atrocities

🇪🇸 Real Madrid have failed to score in two consecutive games, but sit top of La Liga.

🇮🇹 The title race hots up in Serie A.

🇫🇷 The handbrake is firmly off in France.

I would seem so. Just bonkers

From bus driver to top coach: all aboard for Manolo González’s Espanyol adventure The 46-year-old didn’t fulfil his potential as a player but as manager has climbed from the bottom of the pyramid to fifth in La Liga

From bus driver to top coach: all aboard for Manolo González’s Espanyol adventure, as he talks to @sidlowe.bsky.social

whole thing is even worse than the headline when you think about what 'play' means here

“I’m just as concerned for you! Don’t worry about me! It would seem we are in this together and will have to rise above it. Otherwise keep in close touch and we’ll play some more soon!!!!”"

😉 (fixed now)

Sorry, Win. 🐾

Ah man. Ffs. No, in Spanish unless you’re very deliberate about it, nothing to gender the dog (he/she verb endings the same, and no he/she used). All my fault.

🇪🇸 The usual suspects seem poised to do battle for La Liga glory once again.

🇮🇹 Five juggernauts of Italian football head up Serie A.

🇩🇪 Bayern Munich ominously sit top of the Bundesliga.

the thing that's so fucking infuriating about this is how much more that matters for the bottom 10%

$1200 can be life or death at that level of income

top 10%? $13K is nice, to be sure, but it's "maybe we'll take another vacation" nice not "oh good now we can afford to eat this month"

Nuno Mendes gets PSG party started in Super Cup shootout win against Spurs * Paris Saint-Germain 2-2 Tottenham (4-3 pens) * PSG score two late goals to set up shootout It turns out the DNA of serial winners cannot be developed within three months. Tottenham should have been able to announce themselves kings of the continent here, flimsy though any grand statements after a Uefa Super Cup win might be. For long periods they overpowered a lethargic Paris Saint-Germain and it looked, until the final 10 minutes, as if Thomas Frank’s playbook had been perfectly imprinted on the lilywhite half of north London. Spurs had pummelled PSG in the air, deserving to lead through Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero. They had rarely been under threat but the Champions League winners perked up after Lee Kang-in’s crisp drive and levelled deep in added time when Gonçalo Ramos glanced in. Such recourse to old ways meant Tottenham were compelled to suffer the torment of penalties, Van de Ven and Mathys Tel both missing and letting Nuno Mendes inflict the clincher. Continue reading...
