It's all go at Anfield, with Cannon having a fall. Meanwhile, Man Utd's Gary Bailey finally succumbs to this mad trend of goalkeepers wearing gloves - the big wimp. @themagicofthecup.bsky.social & @scraggy74.bsky.social report back

Some time ago, I wrote a blog about this dreadful 'ITK' micro-industry of football.
Forgive my parochial contribution to @sportingintel.bsky.social's post, but I think it chimes with some of the things he mentions. (Published in summer 2025)

A brilliant take down of one of the industry's biggest charlatans - the poster-boy for every kid in a bedroom who wishes to 'break' transfer news to masses.
Brilliant journalism from an actual journalist, about someone who isn't a journalist.
Hopefully will help wash away the ITK transfer culture
Happy World Book Day. π

Yay more football!
I've got a radical idea. Maybe we could do it for all 23 teams? And they could each play each other across two legs, though spread out for some variety. Then, at the end, the teams with the most wins and draws could go up. Maybe, say, 3pts for a win, 1pt for a draw. Nah, bit much
It's happening then...
