weekend
News
- RB Leipzig No newly-promoted side has ever gone their first six #Bundesliga games unbeaten - until now! Fantastic work, lads! 👍 #RBLFCA breaking records
- CONMEBOL has announced that from 2019 onwards, clubs will only be allowed to play Libertadores/Sudamericana if they have a women's team too. Progress, right?
- The Telegraph's latest #football4sale allegations concern Harry Redknapp. Full story on http://telegraph.co.uk soon knew his players bet on their match, it's illegal, iirc. As in, football players and coaches aren't supposed to do that
Matches
Premier League
Everton 1- 1 Crystal Palace
The tale of two Belgian strikers
The first half of the match was turgid. I think I fell asleep, tbh. Anyway, Lu-lu- Lukaku! scored
Second half, Benteke responds with this powerful header
It was always a head scratcher why Rodgers wanted him for LFC, since Benteke didn't suit our style at all, so it's nice to see him thriving
Koeman at Everton still astonishes me, tbh
Social Media
Cholo has ANOTHER kid?
Ms Aranburu's shoes are sooo tacky. Like, everything else is polished (even though the silver purse and accessories are a bit matchy matchy) the shoes are a record scratch in this harmony of matchyness
Headline reads: Former German International and Real Madrid and Juventus Player Turned UNESCO Champion for Sport Sami Khedira
Sentimental Saturday
Because in topflight football, the world is too small, Pochettino and Guardiola meet again. They've had previous meetings in La Liga. When Pochettino headed the small, struggling side of Espanyol vs Guardiola's sleek Barcelona outfit
Get Poch's barnett!
A headline from one of their first meetings. It's a clever play on words, the portmanteau of their names translates to 'handsome' in Spanish, iirc (that's the closest word in English I can think of, please correct me if I'm wrong). So it's going to be a 'handsome derby'
Football confessions
Huh. Sounds like a certain Portuguese football fan I know. BB, is this you, boo?
Fair dues
OP: done! Cheers, jeers, corrections and commentary pushback - you know the drill!
