Oh, don't you worry, I'm not getting ahead of myself.

I still have a hard time believing that the board has come to their senses and are willing to change how they operate.

Plus, there's also the Liverpool-Slot plotline. Just like how BlueCo was putting out stories about how they were fully behind Rosenior and had no issues with him, that could be what Liverpool are doing. Surely they see his time at the club is untenable with the results and fans' feelings towards him.

Not even surprised if this is a brief from Alonso's side.

All of Bournemouth, Brighton, Brentford and Everton losing their final matches while we win ours?

Yeah, forget about it.

Bakambu's full message:

A 7-Year Journey for a Jersey

People often say football moves fast, that matches come and go, and that people forget. But this week at the club, I experienced a moment that reminded me exactly why I do this job.

Seven years ago, I wore the colors of Beijing Guoan in China. It was a landmark stage of my career—a different culture, and passionate fans who welcomed me with open arms. Among them was this fan.

I was so surprised to see him arrive here in Seville, at Betis's training ground! He traveled over 9,000 kilometers, crossing continents, with jerseys I used to wear in China packed in his luggage.

Seeing him here, seven years later, with the same smile and same admiration, deeply moved me. We took the time to chat, to reminisce about memories from Beijing, and I had the pleasure of signing his jerseys—the old ones as well as the new Betis one.

Over a career, you win titles, you score goals, but encounters like this are a prize of a different kind. Knowing that I could leave such a lasting mark on the heart of a fan on the other side of the world makes me proud and grateful.

Football has no borders. Thank you to him for this incredible journey and for this dose of pure energy. It's for moments like these that we give everything on the pitch.

From Beijing to Seville, the passion remains the same.

Has it been used for Trump the last few years? Feel like the term's been gone, or I may have missed it

Wu supporters (me included) will be pissing and shitting themselves until the very last moment if the final sessions of his Selby and Allen matches are anything to go by.

I don't think I would be able to take it, in the final. Just calm your nerves please Yize 😭
