Jurgen Klopp's last game as Liverpool manager is Sunday. 😰 Danke schön, Jurgen. In your own words: "[We] will never forget you, and [we] will miss you like hell." And well said, Barney Ronay: theguardian.com/football/blo…

Jürgen Klopp’s Liverpool rescued the league from brand-busting monotony

No manager has combined heart and soul with details and hard maths like the German, no wonder he has run out of energy

Poor bastard! I watched this happening in real time, and felt so bad for Kohles. To be THAT close to your first PGA win and completely choke, ugh …

What's a time you've come close to a personal ⛳️ victory (winning a tourney, breaking 100/90/80/70, etc) but came up just short on 18?

Brilliant piece from Barney Ronay as always: “ …Fellaini had been available earlier in the window, but ended up being bundled in through the saloon doors at a panic-buy price, the football equivalent of petrol station flowers on Valentine’s Day…” 😂😂 theguardian.com/football/202…

Ten years on from The Fellaini Window, United’s age of waste goes on | Barney Ronay

A lingering inability to fill a giant hole at the team’s heart sums up the club under the Glazers as inertia, muddle and lethargy goes on

So now I have to be happy for Patrick Reed? I have to love hokum, shotgun start, no-cut, clown-car three-day glorified member-guests starring guys in shorts and team NASCAR shirts? I have to like the bloody Saudis hanging out at the Masters? No. Never.

I visited K’gari several times when I lived in Australia … it is a beautiful place. “ … K’gari’s official name change corrects a historic wrong …” theguardian.com/australia-ne…

Good luck, Ange … you deserve it. I’m not a Spurs fan but, with you at the helm, Spurs can definitely become a genuinely big club again. Melbourne should be proud tonight. Australia revels in rise of its first Premier League manager | Joey Lynch theguardian.com/football/blo…

An impending appointment at Spurs has been met with near universal acclaim in his home country, although the coach is not without faults

What Jack said to Rory: "We need to sit down and talk sometime." What he meant: At some point I need you to walk me through how you can miss so many greens from 97 yards away.

Well said, Paul McGinley. Clear-eyed commentary, based on the facts, from a great guy. “You’re leaving to start a rival competitive tour to the one you’re already on, and if you do that, there’ll be repercussions…” irishgolfer.ie/latest-golf-n…

MCGINLEY - Ryder Cup legend here to set the record straight - Irish Golfer Magazine

Paul McGinley discusses misinformation around the LIV Golf debate, resigning from the European Tour board, online abuse and factual inaccuracies distracting from a bright future for the DP World Tour

This is a disgrace. Mourinho needs to come out and aggressively condemn this disgusting violence (which he stoked) towards a referee (and his family ffs)! If not, Mourinho should be banned from football for life.

I get that it's usually a few scumbags who do this kind of thing in club fanbases but since the Sean Cox incident in 2018, I don't have much respect for Roma fans, this is far too frequent with some of their supporters, horrible to see, not a nice experience for Anthony Taylor and his family.

Best World Cup song ever. And what a World Cup 1990 was. Ancient history now sadly, but the happiest of memories. And Schillaci is still a twat!! How could he …??

Caroline Elkins' excellent critique of the history of the British Empire in "Legacy of Violence" is a must read. Britain’s use of systematic violence in Ireland, Palestine, India (and everywhere they claimed "empire") is horrific & can never be forgiven: newyorker.com/magazine/2022/…

Congrats to Man City! Now, who did the 3-peat best? Huddersfield (20's)? Arsenal (30's)? Liverpool (80's)? MU (00's)? or MC (20's)? Liverpool (no rich clubs)? MU ($$ from commercial heft)? MC (state-backed enterprise of bottomless wealth)? Discuss! nytimes.com/2023/05/20/sport…

City claimed its third straight Premier League title on Saturday. But admiring its excellence is not the same as accepting its methods.
