‘The hard right hates London – it proves their politics wrong’ | The News Agents Right-wing politicians and activists will tell you London is a dangerous place, overrun with crime and migrants, and is slowly collapsing. This isn’t true. So why the lies and anger directed at the…

“We are presented with the idea of a dystopian hell, as if London is a terrible city."

“The truth is that most of it is complete bollocks.”

The hard right say London is no longer safe. They're lying

Lots of Barcelona match squads will include Toni Fernández and Guillermo Fernández this season. The two teenagers are cousins, born less than a month apart. The really weird thing is that not only are the players two fathers brothers, but their two mothers are sisters too.

Genoa's new away kit launch looks like someone showed Suella Braverman how to use AI

I’m gutted for Crystal Palace and their supporters. Shafted.

Another former Man Utd, Everton and England player takes the reins at Argyle.

Tom Cleverley. Exciting young coach.

The man who should have been England’s first black footballer – immortalised at last Jack Leslie was black. He was called up by England in 1925. Then he was deselected. His legacy, however, has now been commemorated...

This is Jack Leslie’s story - an important tale

In 2022, Leslie was immortalised with a statue at Home Park and, in 2023, his family received an honorary England cap from the FA at Wembley ahead of England’s game against Ukraine.

Historic England have today unveiled a blue plaque at the home of Jack Leslie - the first Black captain of a Football League club (Plymouth Argyle). Leslie was due to be England’s first black player when he was called up in 1925, but was deselected due to his race.

I love a new kit as much as anyone but are yearly releases tone-deaf in this economic climate?

Increased prices of tickets
Increased prices of TV subscriptions
Increased prices of kits/merch

Sunderland - wow. Amazing scenes.

Dan Ballard:
40 clearances across both semi-finals
1 unbelievable header

Mbappe has scored a hat-trick in arguably two of the biggest games in world football and has twice ended up on the losing side

This is going to boil a lot of urine until May 21

Evangelos Marinakis went onto the pitch and looked very animated as he spoke to Nuno Espirito Santo after Nottingham Forest's draw with Leicester City.

So, United vs Spurs in the Europa League final. Spurs the favourites, IMO, having beaten United 3x already this season with an 8-3 aggregate. And all the pressure on them to win after the manager’s #SecondSeason boasts.

It’s not a farmer’s league at all. So much quality there. Yes PSG have dominance but a lot of top young players in Ligue 1

A team from so-called Farmer’s League beat three Premier League teams in a row. No flukes.

The Taliban ruined the dreams of female Afghan footballers. In exile, their struggle to play continues Female soccer players fled Afghanistan, but from around the world they are campaigning to be able to represent their country again

Afghanistan's women's football team is not recognised by football's authorities. Their players live in exile. The Taliban ruined their dreams, but hasn't broken their spirit.

Their struggle to play together again continues.

Inter’s old limitations are beginning to look like new frontiers - next stop, Munich

You can straitjacket the crazy Inter. You can sedate it. But when they’re mad for it, they can reach a second Champions League final in three years. www.nytimes.com/athletic/633... Inter’s old limitations are beginning to look like new frontiers – next stop, Munich

3-3 x2. A truly incredible tie

Club had a chance to sell him in Jan and they refused. So not TAA's fault that LFC not getting a fee.

What dance did he spin? He just got on business as usual as far as I can see

He kissed the badge because he is a fan, and Liverpool are his boyhood club. You can still love a club and want to move on for a new challenge. For all he's done, he should be wished well.

Exactly

That's fine, but the anger doesn't make sense to me

Find the anger towards TAA very odd. Club legend; should only be wished well.

Liverpool legend Trent Alexander-Arnold. Premier League loses another world-class talent.
