News

• Terrible news for Liverpool, Loris Karius will miss the start of the season, the German goalkeeper could be out for up to two months. No, no, no, no, no, no. NO! *weeps brokenly* Somebody hold me. I wonder if Migs worked some voodoo for that one. I just T_T
• Claudio Ranieri tells @beINSPORTS he is "100 percent sure" @Mahrez22 will stay at #LCFC. End of. *Kanye shrug*
• Journalist = parrots
  No deal done between Clubs
  Its a game between Italy press and UK press who announce it first and who is worse. Mino Raiola's twitter. I wish Manchester United would walk away, but they've already jettionsed nine players (including a number of their youth players in that nine) for him
• Balotelli’s future: between Raiola’s call to Napoli & the Ajax option: the latest LFC would give him away if they could. Ah Mario, I still hope you can turn it around

Pictures


Messi and co are training at St George's Park. Nice to see it being used, because Roy Hodgson hated it, and preferred using Watford's and Hotspur's training centres instead


Supposedly Barcelona are on the hunt for another striker


Tottenham Hotspur are doing their preseason tour down under. A part of their tours have been goodwill gestures, signing shirts for fans, doing hospital visits and engaging in local culture, such as Christian Erikssen here


Tommy Carroll


Ryan Mason. Supporters are in two minds re: Carroll and Mason. They don't think they're good enough for where Spurs are looking to go, but Pochettino likes them, enough to make them stay whilst Pritchard and Bentaleb have been moved on. There's been dissent among supporters, raning from 'In Poch we trust' to 'You what, m8?'


Man United's third kit.


White design, black trim with shoulder details. It's simple and striking


GQ did a write up on Ronaldo, calling his style Batman meets Elizabeth Taylor. I dig it

£100 m player?


What does £100 m buy?

Social Media




The fear of immobility, and not being able to fit into my wardrobe. My wardrobe is small, but lovely

Football Confessions


We'll see! All this at Dortmund


For real, Dortmund bought some good players in this window

International Champions Cup (ICC)
Tottenham Hotspur 0- 1 Atletico Madrid


Spurs had the better first twenty minutes, Godin scored the only goal 40' from a set piece


It was a good set piece


The first time a few Spurs players ever encountered such play! Under 21 games don't have this sort of talent. Go, Torres!


I was impressed at Lamela's play. Pretty dangerous from the wings. To think that he was going to be sent away on loan last year


Joshua Onama is another Spurs midfielder from their academy. He's more AM than DM, strong on the ball, not shy, and might be giving Ryan Mason something to think about. Please


I like ATM's kit - and the fact that it's so good, Nike can't mess it up


I can't find a picture of ATM's Jan Olbak, but he was the MOTM for me. Saved four(!) Spurs shots at goal. Legend!


It was a genuine love in before and after the game. Pochettino exchanged warm greetings with Torres, Simeone and Simeon's assistant both before and after the game

OP: right, gotta dash. Cheers, jeers, corrections and commentary pushback, you know the drill!
