Martin Samuel wrote this in the mail -:

It has been alleged that Liverpool paid Manchester City £1m in 2013, following a complaint that City's scouting system had been hacked.

Strangely, the story flickered and died in little more than 24 hours. No outraged commentaries, no follow-ups, no widespread condemnation.

Michael Edwards, who was said to have accessed the Scout7 database, is not only still at Liverpool but has since been promoted, from head of performance and analysis to director of sport, where he does a brilliant job. Yet imagine if that had been reversed.

Imagine if City had been accused of hacking Liverpool's private files six years ago, shortly after Roberto Mancini landed their first title. It's fair to say we wouldn't have heard the last of it.

Good on him for putting it out there

Sky this morning. "VAR call hands Arsenal draw at United". WTF

Making out that Arsenal were lucky? Both teams were utter shite but a draw was a fair result.

Hope he doesn't play. We can beat Zagreb without him. We need him fully fit and 100% in more important and difficult games

Indeed. Reckon there is a bit of mileage in the injury story though. Hope its nothing, KDB is on fire this season

This report should actually go in the Laughing thread because it's so ridiculous.

Apparently, we are nailed on for Mbappe from PSG next summer with the following five (5) players going the other way:
Leroy Sane, Gabriel Jesus, Riyad Mahrez, Ilkay Gundogan and Benjamin Mendy

3 out of 5 of those would be alright.
