CRAIG HOPE IN PARIS: At least he 前線d up to the マスコミ for a few minutes, which is more than he had done in the previous 90 on the pitch. Ballon d'Or? Kylian Mbappe is the balloon 長，率いるd for the door, and what a deflating 出口 this was, beaten 2-0 over two 脚s by Borussia Dortmund, the fifth best team in Germany. Big players - the best, the very best - they turn up on nights like this, and not just to whisper a few words to the 圧力（をかける）. Subdued just about 逮捕（する）s his 業績／成果, too. For all the noise inside Parc des Princes, Mbappe was 静かな, so 静かな it 叫び声をあげるd 支援する at you. He was gagged, in part, by Mats Hummels and Nico Schlotterbeck. But there was something about his own 団体／死体 language that seemed 制限する - there were 早期に 苦しめる signals in the form of a pass straight to a yellow jersey - and he reserved his most expressive 活動／戦闘 for a roll of the 注目する，もくろむs when asked by the 圧力（をかける） if he would be supporting Real Madrid on Wednesday evening, the club he will join this summer. With that, Mbappe left. It was as if he had never been there at all.

JACK GAUGHAN: March, 2024. City 0-0 兵器庫. Erling Haaland - the 首相 League's 最高の，を越す scorer, the best striker in the world - is 二塁打-示すd by William Saliba and Gabriel for 90 minutes. He is afforded just 23 touches all afternoon, 登録（する）ing four 発射s. A 淡褐色 game. 兵器庫 sit in for a point, one they hope will インチ them closer to a first 肩書を与える in two １０年間s. In the Sky Sports studio up in a corner of the Etihad Stadium, one particular 空気／公表する kick of Haaland's at the 支援する 地位，任命する is discussed. と一緒に Micah Richards and Theo Walcott, Keane - the 中立の 選ぶ on the punditry パネル盤 - sits and 配達するs his 判決.

LEWIS STEELE IN ROTTERDAM: After a 週末 immersed with 観察するing Arne Slot up の近くに, it is （疑いを）晴らす his methods can be adaptable for the seismic step-up he 直面するs in Liverpool. It is a 見解（をとる） 株d by Dutch football legend Marco 先頭 Basten, which, as far as 言及／関連s go, is a strong start.

MATT BARLOW: Bromley were once so bad they 奮起させるd a feature film. It was based on a delightful 調書をとる／予約する by Dave Roberts, called 'The Bromley Boys: The True Story of Supporting the Worst Team in Britain'. Published in 2008, the story 回転するs around the （選挙などの）運動をする of 1969/70 when they were relegated from the Isthmian League and the simple charms of に引き続いて a club 一般に 苦境に陥るd in 悲惨, flirting with 絶滅 as （人が）群がるs dipped under a hundred, while growing up. Yesterday, Bromley （警官の）巡回区域，受持ち区域 Solihull Moors on 刑罰，罰則s in 前線 of more than 23,000 at Wembley Stadium to 安全な・保証する 昇進／宣伝 from the 国家の League and next season they will compete in the EFL for the first time in their 132-year history.

JONATHAN McEVOY: 選ぶing the best in any sport is difficult. Times change. Perceptions alter. Nostalgia plays tricks. The here and now is uniquely vivid. In モーター racing, the 仕事 is even harder. While a football is still essentially a football (if made of different 構成要素s), 決まり文句／製法 One divides between the 時代 of 即座の 危険，危なくする and one of more distant 危険，危なくする. It is still dangerous and always will be but the change 混乱させるs 正確な 査定／評価 between one 時代 and another. It is a personal 名簿（に載せる）／表（にあげる）. 許す me.

OLIVER HOLT: In one of the 回廊（地帯）s in the main stand at 乗組員 Alexandra's Mornflake Stadium, there are pictures on the 塀で囲む 充てるd to some of the club's famous alumni. Bruce Grobbelaar, Steve Holland, Geoff Thomas, David Platt, Dean Ashton, Robbie Savage and Danny Murphy are just a few of the 指名するs who have spent 早期に 行う／開催する／段階s of their careers here, all of them symbols of the symbiosis that once 存在するd between the lower leagues and the 最高の，を越す flight. That 関係 is broken now. 首相 League intransigence over a six-year, £900million New 取引，協定 for football has 確実にするd that.?

OLIVER HOLT AT THE ETIHAD: Gary O'Neil, the Wolverhampton Wanderers 経営者／支配人, was serving a one-match touchline 中断 at The Etihad. As he sat in the 親族 anonymity of the stands, watching his 味方する 存在 破壊するd by Erling Haaland, O'Neil may have 反映するd that it was probably the best place to be. City were 簡単に majestic as they swept Wolves aside 5-1. If they were feeling any 圧力 after 兵器庫 had beaten Bournemouth earlier in the day to move into a four-point lead at the 最高の，を越す of the （米）棚上げする／（英）提議する, they did not show it. There was no 調印する of 神経s at all. If anything, they seemed even more relaxed than usual. The truth? This felt like a carnival. It felt like a 行う／開催する／段階ing 地位，任命する in a 肩書を与える 行列. It felt like the 肉親，親類d of occasion that takes place when a team has already won the 肩書を与える, not when it is in the 中央 of a 猛烈な／残忍な fight with 兵器庫.

CHELSEA 2-0 TOTTENHAM - MATT BARLOW AT STAMFORD BRIDGE: Tottenham's 飛行機で行くing start to life under Ange Postecoglou already seems like a fading memory. They took 26 points from the first 10 games in scintillating fashion and were five points （疑いを）晴らす at the 首相 League 首脳会議 after （警官の）巡回区域，受持ち区域ing 水晶 Palace one Friday night 近づく the end of October. It was Chelsea who brought that sequence to a shuddering 停止（させる） next time out and, last night, another （警官の）巡回区域，受持ち区域ing at the 手渡すs of former boss Mauricio Pochettino left Postecoglou ガス／煙ing on the touchline.

KIERAN GILL AT STAMFORD BRIDGE: Goals from Trevoh Chalobah and Nicolas Jackson earned Chelsea a 2-0 victory over London 競争相手s Tottenham Hotspur in the 首相 League on Thursday, 取引，協定ing a blow to 刺激（する）s' hopes of qualifying for next season's 支持する／優勝者s League. Former 学院 defender Chalobah 長，率いるd the ball expertly into the 最高の，を越す corner from a Conor Gallagher 解放する／自由な kick 35 metres out in the 24th minute. Senegal's Jackson 静めるd home 神経s against the run of play in the 72nd minute when he was on 手渡す to 長，率いる home after a 解放する／自由な kick from Chelsea 最高の，を越す scorer Cole Palmer 攻撃する，衝突する the 妨げる／法廷，弁護士業 and bounced 負かす／撃墜する.

NASSER HUSSAIN: We're used to seeing cricketers have good days and bad days on the field, but what we don't get to see are the ups and 負かす／撃墜する off the pitch - the X-rays, the 操作／手術s, the rehab, the mental 強調する／ストレスs and 緊張するs that are part of a long-称する，呼ぶ／期間／用語 傷害 like the one Jofra has had with his 権利 肘. He spoke recently about 存在 自信のない he had another 'stop-start' year in him, but 略奪する 重要な knows his value.

NOTTINGHAM FOREST 2-0 MANCHESTER CITY - IAN LADYMAN AT THE CITY GROUND: We probably would have 推定する／予想するd a result like this but we would not have 予報するd it to come about やめる this way. Nottingham Forest were 十分な of energy and menace and ambition while Manchester City were probably as 不振の and out of sorts as we have seen them for やめる some time. City won, though, and did so with something to spare in the end. And why? Because the Forest centre 今後 Chris 支持を得ようと努めるd made the art of 得点する／非難する／２０ing goals look 猛烈に difficult while Erling Haaland of City arrived as a 代用品，人 to make it look so devastatingly 平易な.

The last time Harry Kane reached this 行う／開催する／段階 of the 支持する／優勝者s League he was 負傷させるd and unable to 与える／捧げる in the usual way. With Tottenham 追跡するing 3-0 on aggregate at Ajax, Kane made his way 負かす／撃墜する from his seat in the stands to the dressing room to 配達する a half-time pep talk. Whether the inspiration （機の）カム from him or boss Mauricio Pochettino, who also spoke, or neither of them, Lucas Moura 答える／応じるd with a hat trick. 刺激（する）s went into the final in Madrid and Kane, after two months out, 宣言するd himself fit. Moura went 支援する to the （法廷の）裁判. Liverpool won 2-0. Heartbreak for Tottenham who did not 推定する／予想する to 勝利，勝つ the 支持する／優勝者s League but were beginning to wonder if their 指名する was on the cup. It wasn't. It rarely is these days. Five years on, Kane is still waits for the major トロフィー nobody will begrudge him after a １０年間 of pure excellence.

RICHARD GIBSON: Of all the 発射s, it is the 署名 pull 一打／打撃 that most 需要・要求するs the 二塁打 take: 長，率いる dipping as the muscular でっちあげる，人を罪に陥れる swivels, 負わせる transferring の上に the 支援する foot as the 前線 one 解除するs わずかに awkwardly from the turf. It is an image from that iconic summer of 2005 事業／計画（する）d through a new レンズ. Ball 存在 belted through the Birmingham 微風 and into the stands. Not on the television 審査するs of a nation infatuated with the Ashes, but on the social マスコミ pop-ups of curious 郡 cricket aficionados. Andrew Flintoff has 試みる／企てるd to mute the noise around his two cricketing sons, but the 活動／戦闘s of Rocky, 16, at Edgbaston last week 叫び声をあげるd for attention.

MAN UNITED 1-1 BURNLEY - JOE BERNSTEIN AT OLD TRAFFORD: Old Trafford 訪問者 Usain Bolt would have admired the breakneck pace on show that helped produce 43 goal 試みる／企てるs. いっそう少なく so the 無（不）能 to get over the finishing line. Manchester 部隊d made Burnley 支払う／賃金 for 行方不明になるd chances by taking the lead through Antony after 80 minutes に引き続いて a mistake by Clarets midfielder やすりを削る人／削る機械 Berge. Even then, Erik ten Hag's 味方する couldn't put the relegation 候補者s away. Goalkeeper Andre Onana, had a 急ぐ of 血 with three minutes left and careered into Zeki Amdouni who gratefully 変えるd the resulting 刑罰，罰則.

OLIVER HOLT IN IMOLA: There is nothing to 示唆する, from the outside, that there is anything different about Room 200 at Hotel Castello on the 郊外s of the pretty little spa town of Castel San Pietro 称する，呼ぶ／期間／用語, a few miles from Bologna. The bedroom door is as plain and unremarkable as every other door in the modest hotel. Its windows do not have a 見解（をとる） to speak of, because there is nothing much to see out here on the 辛勝する／優位 of town. But inside, the 控訴 of three rooms has been 保存するd - with the 新規加入 of a flat 審査する television - the way it was when Ayrton Senna, the man who many still believe to be the greatest racing driver ever, walked out of that door on the morning of May 1, 1994, and never returned.

IAN LADYMAN: Now that it feels like it's almost over, it's hard not to think 支援する at what made it what it was. Jurgen Klopp's (left, and main) eight-and-a-half years at Liverpool have left an indelible 示す on the 首相 League in a way that goes beyond what was, after all, just a 選び出す／独身 肩書を与える. For me, the story has often been told in the 直面するs of the 対立. It may be that, more than any individual game, トロフィー or goal, that will ぐずぐず残る the longest. Some of the best players in the world have 苦しむd through it. That feeling of 存在 投げ上げる／ボディチェックするd about mercilessly and endlessly in Klopp's Anfield washing machine. A feeling of helplessness, a sense that the size of the challenge is just too 広大な／多数の／重要な, the 軍隊s pinning you 支援する too irresistible. At times it has felt as though it has been as much about 態度 and ferocity as it has been about football or 策略. And this, looking 今後, is what makes the challenge 直面するing Klopp's 後継者 at Anfield so 広大な／多数の／重要な and so daunting. It has been 示唆するd since news broke of Liverpool's 成果／努力s to take the Dutch coach Arne Slot (権利) out of Feyenoord that the 45-year-old is favoured because he will be able to continue Klopp's work, that he will be able to lead, coach and direct the team in 概して the same way.

DOMINIC KING: It was the afternoon when a mighty blow had been （打撃，刑罰などを）与えるd to Liverpool's 肩書を与える challenge, the day 水晶 Palace had 動揺させるd Anfield's 創立／基礎s. Those who work at the stadium have seen many guises of Jurgen Klopp (left) 地位，任命する-match: the ebullience and energy that follow big victories, the outpouring of emotion that followed when things hadn't gone to 計画（する）. Liverpool's 経営者／支配人 is an 課すing 人物／姿／数字, 肉体的に, and you always know he's there. But after that 1-0 敗北・負かす to Palace on April 14, Liverpool's first at home in the 首相 League for almost two years, Klopp's demeanour was noticeably different. Before you would have characterised him as a 火山, 十分な of 解雇する／砲火／射撃, now it was 平易な to see he had become a lighthouse.

EVERTON 2-0 LIVERPOOL - IAN LADYMAN AT GOODISON PARK: The only なぐさみ for Jurgen Klopp was that he didn't have far to go home. 安全な by the water in Formby to 反映する on the night his final 広大な／多数の／重要な 肩書を与える challenge in English football may 井戸／弁護士席 have been washed away on a blue tide of 願望（する） and yearning. Is this really it for Klopp and Liverpool? 井戸／弁護士席 the league （米）棚上げする／（英）提議する has them just three points behind leaders 兵器庫. But Liverpool are hurtling 急速な／放蕩な in the wrong direction and the 統計（学） tell their own story. Four points from their last four league games has left them needing 奇蹟s that 簡単に don't tend to happen when Manchester City are 伴う／関わるd.

'If you thought that tweet was strong, you should have seen the 初めの,' says one source at Nottingham Forest, with the 軟化するd 見解／翻訳／版 結局 agreed upon attracting more than 44 million 見解（をとる）s on Twitter since 圧力（をかける）ing send from Goodison Park on Sunday. It is understood the order to publicise their fury （機の）カム from the very 最高の，を越す, the patience of owner Evangelos Marinakis having snapped after seeing his 味方する 否定するd three 刑罰，罰則s at Everton.? Insiders say the 56-year-old Greek will not care about the fallout that followed. He had a point to make and he made it, utilising the 壇・綱領・公約 that 供給するs him with 接近 to tens of millions. It is not the first time Marinakis has 勧めるd the communications team at Forest to 地位，任命する something about 審判（をする）ing in the?首相 League either. Sunday was 簡単に the tipping point and there was to be no 説得するing him さもなければ.

INTERVIEW BY IAN HERBERT: Occasionally, Ruud Gullit feels the （警官の）巡回区域，受持ち区域 of time on his 支援する these days and the need to 掴む life's every moment. 'I'll spend half an hour in the gym and think 'that was half an hour that I no longer have left,' he relates, a 抱擁する grin playing on his 直面する as always. He says he remembers the first 選び出す／独身 he ever bought - Marvin Gaye's 'Let's Get It On', 選ぶd up from a 記録，記録的な／記録する shop in Suriname, from where his father emigrated to the Netherlands - and can't やめる feel the same about Taylor Swift, when she, a 重要な new presence in NFL, いつかs gravitates into Mail Sport's 数字表示式の realm. 'I have a subscription. I read the Daily Mail every day. The only thing that I didn't understand is what has Taylor Swift has to do with the sports pages?' he asks. 'Can you just put it where it belongs and I can read my sport?!!'

IAN HERBERT:The headline plastered across the 前線 of the Madrid daily, As, 布告するd 'Campeon 事実上の' - '事実上 支持する／優勝者s' - but the …を伴ってing image spoke far louder. It 逮捕（する）d Jude Bellingham in what has become his trademark 姿勢, 武器 outstretched on the Bernabeu turf, wearing a look which 叫び声をあげるd 'imperious after the goal which takes Real Madrid within touching distance of the 肩書を与える. 'Hey Jude', part of the soundtrack of this city now, was 存在 hollered out of the Madrileno squares and the 妨げる／法廷，弁護士業s 深い into Sunday night and broadcast far beyond. 'Madrid has crossed 国境s,' As columnist Tomas Roncero wrote, when the dust had settled on the 3-2 勝利，勝つ. 'My phone is 十分な of ビデオs of Madrid fans across the 惑星, singing that song.'

OLIVER HOLT: There was a time when we could say, without much 恐れる of 存在 否定するd, that the 首相 League was the best football league in the world. Unless things change, and change 急速な／放蕩な, it is becoming ますます obvious that that time is coming to an end. There is still much that is beautiful about the football our 最高の，を越す flight produces. The 1-1 draw between Liverpool and Manchester City at Anfield last month was a spellbinding 陳列する，発揮する of やめる sublime 技術s from two teams that are の中で the best on the 惑星. There have been many other 衝突／不一致s this season that have 解除するd the soul, too. But, にもかかわらず the 広大な 財政上の advantages our clubs enjoy over their competitors, there are no English 味方するs in the last four of the 支持する／優勝者s League, there are no English club 味方するs in the last four of the Europa League and only Aston 郊外住宅, who are having such a 罰金 season, have made it to the 半分-決勝戦 of the Europa 会議／協議会 League.

Manchester 部隊d 敗北・負かすd Coventry City in a 刑罰，罰則 shootout after letting a three goal lead slip in the FA Cup 半分-final at Wembley.? Erik ten Hag's 味方する looked to be in 支配（する）／統制する, with first-half goals from Scott McTominay and Harry Maguire, before?Bruno Fernandes 追加するd a third just before the hour. The Sky Blues left it late to （警官の）巡回区域，受持ち区域 Wolves?in the ４半期/4分の1-決勝戦, and started their 復帰 at 3-0 負かす／撃墜する, with?goals from Ellis Simms and Callum O'Hare getting them 支援する in 論争 before Haji Wright's 停止 time 刑罰，罰則 took it to extra time. Man 部隊d won 4-2 on 刑罰，罰則s. NATHAN 戦力兵器制限交渉 供給するs ratings.

GRAEME SOUNESS: Never in my 50-半端物 years in this game have I heard a player say he had to come off the pitch because he was too tired. So I was surprised to hear Pep Guardiola say that Kevin De Bruyne, Erling Haaland and Manuel Akanji had asked to be 代用品，人d against Real Madrid the other night because they 'could not continue'. That's something I've never 証言，証人／目撃するd. I can only 推定する that Guardiola was 保護するing De Bruyne and Haaland, that they were feeling something or carrying knocks, as that's the only explanation surely for taking off your most creative player and 最高の，を越す goalscorer when chasing the game in a 支持する／優勝者s League ４半期/4分の1-final.

OLIVER HOLT: The 首相 League 発表するd the scrapping of FA Cup replays on Thursday, although of course that is not how the エリート club owners 現在のd it. They do not like to be candid about their greed.? They do not like to be honest about their disdain for the 残り／休憩（する） of the football pyramid, the eco-system that is the kernel of their success but which they are hell-bent on destroying. So they tried to hide that part away. They told us that, 現実に, this was a good thing. They told us that they would be putting £33m more into grass roots football without 説 that many 多重のs of that 人物／姿／数字 would be lost to grass roots football through the death of replays that are often the difference between 利益（をあげる） and loss for lower league clubs.

LEWIS STEELE AT STADIO DI BERGAMO: If you are going to fail, then make sure you fail beautifully. That was the 決起大会／結集させるing cry of Jurgen Klopp before Liverpool 試みる／企てるd to 令状 another 一時期／支部 into the 調書をとる／予約する of inspirational 復帰 勝利s in Europe. In the end, this will have to go 負かす／撃墜する as a 失敗. It was not やめる beautiful, but it was a valiant 業績／成果 that has 傷をいやす／和解させるd some of the psychological 負傷させるs of the last fortnight and given fans hope that the Jurgen Klopp 時代 can still have a magical ending. Winning on the night, 経由で an 早期に Mohamed Salah 刑罰，罰則, stopped the rot after two losses and a draw in the weeks before 脅すd to derail their season. Liverpool ended this tie with their 長，率いるs held high but the 損失 had already been done and they left with nothing.

KIERAN GILL: Cole Palmer's calmness まっただ中に 大混乱 has earned him the 愛称 '冷淡な Palmer' this season. Who has changed the 審議 from whether he should be 含むd in the England squad for Euro 2024 to whether he should be starting. Who will be looking to 構内／化合物 Manchester City 's 悲惨 after their 支持する／優勝者s League 出口 to Real Madrid on Wednesday when he 直面するs them in the FA Cup.

SIMON JORDAN: Social マスコミ has become a 有毒な cesspit that often enables the worst of society to surface.? It is pretty much uncontrolled and 許すs anonymity, enabling cowards and 産む／飼育するing hate, discontent and divisiveness. Those that run and 支配（する）／統制する social マスコミ know that 衝突 and 分割 生成する traffic, 非，不，無 of which is for the good of society.?It drags people into unwelcome spaces, enables delusion and people of a very strange thought-過程 to connect with one another in a way that creates an echo 議会 and gives people 発言する／表明するs that perhaps they shouldn't have.

PETE JENSON: It was the most astonishing 復帰 in 支持する／優勝者s League history. It cost Unai Emery his 職業, sent striker Edinson Cavani into therapy, and meant 審判（をする） Deniz Aytekin never got to officiate another ノックアウト match. Tonight it could serve as the perfect inspiration for Paris Saint-Germain. Now it's the French who need a 復帰, 追跡するing 3-2 from the first 脚. 支援する in March 2017 they had won the first game 4-0 only for Barcelona to do what no team had ever done before and overturn a four-goal 赤字 with a 6-1 second-脚 victory. 妨げる／法廷，弁護士業?a put their 復帰 負かす／撃墜する to three factors: the leadership of Luis Enrique, who was 妨げる／法廷，弁護士業?a coach then and is PSG's now; the raucous （軍の）野営地，陣営 Nou （人が）群がる; and a 最高の，を越す secret game 計画（する） hatched on the flight 支援する to Spain after the first-脚 敗北・負かす. によれば PSG there was also a fourth 決定的な factor - the 審判（をする）.

There is a 広大な／多数の／重要な stigma 大（公）使館員d to the idea of 'choking' in sport.? It is used as an 侮辱, an 告訴，告発 of 証拠不十分 that 暗示するs 欠如（する） of character and absence of moral fibre. Academic papers, a whole raft of them, have been written about it. Maybe one day, they will 令状 one about 兵器庫 and the end to the 2023-24 season. But have 兵器庫's 信任状 in this delicate 事柄 really been fully 設立するd yet? I don't think so.

INTERVIEW BY DANNY MURPHY: For a country of only ten million people, Portugal has had one hell of an 衝撃 on our football. Jose Mourinho and Cristiano Ronaldo left 大規模な imprints of course. Now we have the likes of Bruno Fernandes, Bernardo Silva, Ruben Dias, Marco Silva and Nuno Espirito Santo 与える／捧げるing to our 首相 League. I met up with another of their countrymen, Joao Palhinha, this week. 運動ing to the Fulham training ground at Motspur Park brought 支援する happy memories of my own five years at the club.

LIVERPOOL 0-1 CRYSTAL PALACE - JOE BERNSTEIN AT ANFIELD: Once again, Liverpool gave their 対抗者s a headstart but this time there was no （死）刑の執行猶予（をする）. As a consequence, it looks very ありそうもない that Jurgen Klopp 's emotional 別れの（言葉，会） 小旅行する will end by 解除するing the 首相 League . Liverpool have 回復するd a remarkable 27 points from losing positions this season but failed to learn the lessons of 手渡すing out 早期に gifts. 最近の history 示唆するd normal service would be 再開するd even after Eberechi Eze 偉業／利用するd 不振の Liverpool defending to 得点する／非難する／２０ after 14 minutes - the fourth time in five league games Klopp has seen his team 譲歩する first at Anfield.

KIERAN GILL AT THE VITALITY STADIUM: Bruno Fernandes 得点する／非難する／２０d twice to 救助（する） an unconvincing 2-2 draw for Manchester 部隊d at Bournemouth as they dropped to seventh place in the 首相 League （米）棚上げする／（英）提議する on Saturday. The Portuguese （機の）カム to the 救助（する） after Bournemouth had deservedly led with goals by the in-form Dominic Solanke and Justin Kluivert and although the 訪問者s 圧力（をかける）d for a 勝利者, it would have been undeserved. Bournemouth created a host of 早期に chances and led through Solanke's 臨床の finish before Fernandes levelled against the run of play in the 31st minute.

DAVID COVERDALE AT ST JAMES' PARK: In a whirlwind afternoon at St James' Park, Newcastle carved through Tottenham to 安全な・保証する a 4-0 victory.? A blockbuster first-half saw Alexander Isak and Anthony Gordon strike within 95 seconds to 手渡す them a lead.? The Magpies 二人組, along with Harvey Barnes, ran 暴動 in Tyneside and things 選ぶd up where they left off in the second-half as Isak 選ぶd up his second.?

IAN HERBERT: A 関係 支援する to home (1)偽造する／(2)徐々に進むd an 利益／興味 for me in Billy Meredith, a footballer whose 指名する is now unknown to most yet who was a 軍隊 of nature in his day, rising from a North むちの跡s 炭坑，オーケストラ席 village to become a 世帯 指名する at the time of the sport's first 商業の 爆発. Meredith 地雷d the same 黒人／ボイコット Park Colliery, at Chirk, where my grandfather later worked, and it was with a firebrand's belief in the 権利s of working people - be they footballers or colliery 労働者s - that he became football's first superstar; the match-勝利者 for both Manchester 部隊d and Manchester City when each landed the first of their many トロフィーs. He fought for a fair player 行う and the 権利 to 移転 between clubs, taking on a powerful Edwardian 設立 決定するd to 限界 the money 労働者s took from a game the aristocracy had invented.

CHRIS SUTTON, MARK CLATTENBURG AND MARTIN KEOWN: It's the new 飛び込み. Throw out a 脚 as the defender moves in for the ball, make first 接触する and then find yourself in a heap. To the naked 注目する，もくろむ, it is a 刑罰，罰則. Cast アイロンをかける. When Bukayo Saka raced toward goal with a chance to make it 3-2 against Bayern Munich in a 支持する／優勝者s League ４半期/4分の1 final, it seemed that nothing could stop him. Out （機の）カム Manuel Neuer, the 退役軍人 German of some repute. On first look, as Saka was sent sprawling, it was no 審議. 刑罰，罰則 kick, the German took his 脚 away.

JONATHAN McEVOY: It flashed across the International Olympic 委員会's skyline like a bolt from the blue on Wednesday morning. And so 128 years of Olympic tradition 消えるd with news that World 運動競技のs would 支払う／賃金 競技者s for winning gold メダルs at this year's Paris Games, and beyond. Starting in the summer, 勝利を得た 陸上競技 competitors in each of the 48 disciplines will walk away with $50,000 (nearly £40,000). World 運動競技のs have その上の committed to 延長する cash prizes to silver and bronze medallists in Los Angeles in 2028. IOC 大統領，／社長 Thomas Bach, a German gold-メダル winning 失敗させる／負かす fencer from the financially ruinous Montreal Olympics?of 1976, an event that stacked up $1.5billion 負債s through 汚職 and mismanagement that took the Quebec city 30 years to settle, was blindsided.?

OLIVER HOLT AT THE EMIRATES: 兵器庫 had 譲歩するd two goals in their last ten games before this tie. Against Bayern Munich, they 譲歩するd two goals in just 14 minutes. Bayern are European aristocracy and instead of laughing at how frayed their 式服s have become, for much of the game, 兵器庫 屈服するd to them. They took an 早期に lead through Bukayo Saka in the first 脚 of their first 支持する／優勝者s League ４半期/4分の1-final for 14 years but were soon pegged 支援する by a 罰金 Bayern equaliser from Serge Gnabry. Harry Kane, who had 得点する／非難する／２０d 14 goals for 刺激（する）s in his previous 19 外見s against 兵器庫 and is the 記録，記録的な／記録する scorer in north London derbies, made it 15 in 20 with a first half 刑罰，罰則. It was his 39th goal of the season.

NATHAN 戦力兵器制限交渉: John Murtough is a studious character who, for the most part, has liked operating in the 影をつくる／尾行するs. 'The Fixer' was the 愛称 affixed to him by some staff at Carrington. From when he joined the 学院 始める，決める-up in 2013 through to his 決定／判定勝ち（する） to step 負かす／撃墜する later this week, he had a knack of getting things done. But there are no hiding places at 部隊d, no 影をつくる／尾行するs in which to mask shortcomings in. Not when Ineos walked into 部隊d with a 有望な bulb flashlight to scrutinise every インチ of the football 操作／手術. He leaves as a figurehead of 部隊d's 最近の demise; a 大混乱／混沌とした 新規採用 戦略 that has seen £518million spent on his watch as director of football, leaving a team left on the pitch that 欠如（する）s both an 身元 and the 十分な talent to 勝利，勝つ the biggest トロフィーs.

LEWIS STEELE IN LISBON: Flumes of fluorescent green smoke and whiffs of Bifanas 汚染する the breezy 空気／公表する outside Estadio Jose Alvalade. The 最高の Bock is flowing and thousands of 冒険的な fans, 行為／行うd by the Brigada ultra group, are 追加するing their 発言する／表明する to a war cry. Given the league 肩書を与える has ended up in the green half of the Portuguese 資本／首都 just once since 2002, a sense of trepidation is in the 空気／公表する and the cacophonic noise feels rather 部族の. The leader of the tribe, then, is former Benfica midfielder Ruben Amorim. His 直面する adorns a t-shirt of one 年輩の fan, と一緒に the phrase 'e se corre bem?'. Asked by Mail Sport for a translation, the gentleman 申し込む／申し出s little more than: 'Ruben? I love'. In this corner of Lisbon at least, and in the ivory towers of several European clubs, that 感情 is 株d.

RIATH AL-SAMARRAI: There was a solar （太陽，月の）食／失墜 over Augusta at 3.08pm on Monday and it 招待するd a thought: the alignment of sun and moon could be 予報するd to the minute, but knowing when Rory McIlroy will escape his own 影をつくる／尾行する is a far trickier 商売／仕事. For all the mysteries around ゴルフ in 2024, the riddle of McIlroy's 10-year wait for a fifth major is arguably more perplexing than anything else in this strange and captivating game. He 再開するs that 追求（する），探索（する） at The Masters on Thursday, which is both a 使節団 to stop a ticking clock and one to find the final piece of a career 激突する 完全にするd by only five male golfers.

PETE JENSON IN MADRID: 観察者／傍聴者s at Real Madrid's Valdebebas training コンビナート／複合体 can be forgiven for wondering if there is something wrong with their 審理，公聴会 when shouts of 'Crouchy! Crouchy!' come 追跡するing across the training pitches. The cries, that seem to be coming from England midfielder Jude Bellingham, are directed at Joselu the rangy centre-今後 who once 株d a dressing room with Peter Crouch but has somehow gone from Stoke to the Santiago Bernabeu where he will 直面する Manchester City on Tuesday night. 'Crouch was an incredible guy, very funny,' says Joselu. 'He helped me a lot when I moved there. Jude started calling me that and others followed. I'm a tall striker and I like to get on the end of crosses but Crouch was two メーターs tall, I'm only 1.92!'

KATHRYN BATTE AT THE TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR STADIUM: After a mediocre attacking 陳列する，発揮する in their midweek draw at West Ham, Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou said he would have loved a joystick to put his players where he 手配中の，お尋ね者 them. It is doubtful he would have placed two of his 支援する four inside the Nottingham Forest box on Sunday night when their goal-得点する／非難する／２０ing 適切な時期s arose. But where his 今後s failed, his defenders 勝利d. Two lethal piledrivers, the first from centre 支援する Micky 先頭 de Ven, the second from 権利 支援する Pedro Porro, saw 刺激（する）s take 支配（する）／統制する of the 戦う／戦い for the 最高の，を越す four. In a week where Tottenham had 地位，任命するd an £87million 年次の loss, Postecoglou had said it is not his 職業 to worry about the 財政上の 圧力 of qualifying for the 支持する／優勝者s League. At 十分な-time he laughed that he could not care いっそう少なく about the race for fourth. His 支持者s certainly do - and so do his 雇用者s. After Aston 郊外住宅 and Manchester 部隊d dropped points for the second time in seven days, it was 決定的な 刺激（する）s took advantage.

MATT BARLOW: No club will 計器 the health of its 学院 on a successful year in the FA 青年 Cup but for the casual 観察者／傍聴者 the prestigious 競争 is always a useful 晴雨計. 物陰／風下d 部隊d have reached the final for the first time this century and 直面する Manchester City, a 一貫した 軍隊 since the Abu Dhabi 引き継ぎ／買収. They are エリート 学院s, の中で 26 in English football bestowed with 部類 One status, but this season's 青年 Cup will go 負かす／撃墜する as something of a 勝利 for those fighting for 承認 in the undergrowth.

It was during an interview with Sir Ben Ainslie recently that I noticed the compass 残り／休憩（する）ing against a 塀で囲む in his office. It was the INEOS one created by Ainslie's boss, Sir Jim Ratcliffe , and by now you are かもしれない familiar with its 名簿（に載せる）／表（にあげる） of 条件 he likes and those he does not. Erik Ten Hag will be because Ratcliffe 分配するs them around all his 商売／仕事s.

BRIGHTON 0-3 ARSENAL - MATT BARLOW AT THE AMEX: This time last year, 兵器庫 got the April shakes. 圧力 on, minds 不明瞭な, all their good habits forgotten as precious points started to slip from their しっかり掴む. They drew three in a 列／漕ぐ／騒動, before a 4-1 敗北・負かす by Manchester City and 崩壊（する）ing against Brighton at home, beaten by three goals as their 肩書を与える challenge imploded.? Twelve months on, and the 調印するs are that Mikel Arteta's team will not go the same way again. Call it a lesson learned, or 簡単に the 利益 of experience but they do not look anything like a team about to 落ちる apart again.

FULHAM 0-1 NEWCASTLE UNITED - DOMINIC HOGAN AT CRAVEN COTTAGE: Away trips have been trying for Eddie Howe's 味方する, and their three 勝利，勝つs before Saturday's 1-0 victory at Fulham will have been a point of 関心 in the Magpies' continued 企て，努力，提案 to 安全な・保証する European football. But にもかかわらず their 現在進行中の 傷害 危機 後部ing its ugly 長，率いる once more to 埋め立てる Joe Willock, Howe was delighted not so much by his 味方する's 業績／成果, but by the result they earned in spite of it to stay within a point of West Ham. It was not a vintage 陳列する，発揮する, and as such it is impossible to ignore the 衝撃 that the ever-現在の spectre of 傷害s has had on Newcastle - a recurring 主題 for the Magpies this 称する，呼ぶ／期間／用語, but no いっそう少なく important for that fact.

MIKE KEEGAN: 'There's only one thing 首相 League clubs have in ありふれた,' one 最高の，を越す-flight (n)役員／(a)執行力のある recently told me. 'They're all in it for themselves.' It should, then, come as little surprise that 協定 on a new system to 取って代わる the 現在の 利益（をあげる） and Sustainability 支配するs (PSR) remains, によれば another, 'a million miles off'. There is, however, one point on which most agree - when these 規則s were brought in, nobody thought the likes of Nottingham Forest and Everton would be the 犠牲者s.

In football, like politics, a week can be a long time. 'Me realising I am going to Milan on Sunday,' read the caption on a photo 地位，任命するd by grinning Newcastle 部隊d 支持者 Eddie McKay as he raised a 瓶／封じ込める of beer to the camera. 急速な／放蕩な-今後 seven days and in his next Facebook update, the 58-year-old told how he was in hospital - having been stabbed three times with a machete in the Italian city. 'Me, my son and a friend were attacked going to our hotel,' he wrote. 'It was an unprovoked attack. Thankfully my son and his friend were ok.' Gruesome photographs taken in the 影響 of the 強襲，強姦 show how lucky they were.

ARSENAL 2-0 LUTON - SAMI MOKBEL AT THE EMIRATES: The pendulum of 力／強力にする has swung in 兵器庫 's favour again. But for how long? Liverpool will have the answers later on Thursday. But, at least for the time 存在, the Gunners are 支援する sitting pretty at the 首脳会議. 支援する in 有利な立場（位置）, where many believe they'll finish. に引き続いて Sunday's reserved 陳列する，発揮する at Manchester City , normal service 再開するd here against Luton. Two goals and a clean sheet. It could easily have been more. But Mikel Arteta will take this victory and move on. At this 行う／開催する／段階 of the season that's all that truly 事柄s

WEST HAM 1-1 TOTTENHAM - MATT BARLOW AT THE LONDON STADIUM: Tottenham have not warmed to the Olympic Park. The last time they won here was the 開始 game of Jose Mourinho's 任期, with the アマゾン cameras rolling behind the scenes to see if his special 力／強力にするs might 延長する to 再燃するing Dele Alli's 炎上. Turned out they did not. And four years and three 経営者／支配人s 負かす／撃墜する the line, with Adam Peaty 主要な a parade of 希望に満ちたs for the Paris Games up and 負かす／撃墜する the pool in the nearby Aquatics Centre, they made the short 旅行 to Stratford once again. This time hoping the advent of an Olympic year might work in their favour, 解雇する／砲火／射撃ing 刺激（する）s 支援する into the 最高の，を越す four and turn up the heat on Aston 郊外住宅 as they went up against Manchester City on Wednesday.

IAN HERBERT: Just when there seemed no room for anything but noise in the all-消費するing world of football - no still, small space for those who might struggle with the game's sound and fury - an introduction to Gate 12 at Wrexham's ground, and what lay beyond it, told me さもなければ, last Friday. It was a profoundly 影響する／感情ing experience. The gate, and the area of seating it leads to, is the 見通し of a woman I first 遭遇（する）d a year or so 支援する, when 令状ing a 調書をとる／予約する about the 変形 of Wrexham - both club and town - after the arrival of 略奪する McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds.? I called the 調書をとる／予約する Tinseltown, though Kerry Evans' work began long before Hollywood descended, at a time when the club could not afford to 支払う／賃金 her a 行う as its first disability 連絡事務 officer, nor 基金 away travel for fans who, like herself, were in a 車椅子. She raised the money herself.

NATHAN 戦力兵器制限交渉 AT ANFIELD: Liverpool have returned to the 最高の，を越す of the 首相 League after a 2-1 勝利，勝つ over Brighton at Anfield, thanks to Mohamed Salah 's second half strike. The Reds got their first 勝利，勝つ over a Seagulls 味方する managed by Roberto De Zerbi , but were dealt an 早期に blow with the 訪問者s took the lead. Danny Welbeck 粉砕するd home the opener inside the first two minutes of the game, before Luis Diaz pounced to draw the hosts level before the break. Jurgen Klopp 's men 開始する，打ち上げるd a second half 猛攻撃 on the Brighton goal and were 結局 rewarded when Mo Salah slotted home the 勝利者 to send Liverpool 支援する to 最高の，を越す 位置／汚点／見つけ出す. Here, Mail Sport's Nathan Salt has given his 専門家 player ratings...

CHRIS FOY - WORLD OF RUGBY: How sad it is to see that another of the mighty has fallen. Phil Vickery has been 宣言するd 破産者／倒産した - 軍隊ing the former England captain and World Cup-勝利者 to stand 負かす／撃墜する from several 商売／仕事s. The '激怒（する）ing Bull' is said to 借りがある almost £100,000 to his 管理／経営 consultancy, Vix Ltd, which has gone into liquidation. There were also 報告（する）／憶測s of 未払いの 税金 法案s, に引き続いて the news that the 2011 Celebrity Masterchef 勝利者's No 3 restaurants had been 軍隊d to shut 負かす／撃墜する earlier this year, 予定 to the cost-of-living 危機 which has 大打撃を与えるd the 歓待 産業. At 48, Vickery appears to be struggling with his health, 同様に as his grim 財政上の predicament. Late last year, it was 明らかにする／漏らすd that the 広大な／多数の／重要な 支え（る） idol had joined the group 訴訟 against さまざまな rugby 治める／統治するing 団体／死体s, on に代わって of ex-players 苦しむing from the after-影響s of repeat 長，率いる 傷害s.

MATT BARLOW AT TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR STADIUM: The clock had ticked into the 86th minute when Heung-min Son collected the ball 深い in his own half and 召喚するd the energy for another 今後 run. Tottenham had 大打撃を与えるd away at Luton for most of the second half, having gone behind 早期に in the game and then equalised soon after half time. Son 解放（する）d Timo Werner and kept on running. Werner 設立する a change of pace and crossed the ball low from the left. Brennan Johnson poked it 支援する and the 刺激（する）s captain arrived to find the 逮捕する with the help of a deflection.

The 首相 League returned with a bang and then some as a seven-goal thriller at St James' Park got the 週末 活動／戦闘 進行中で, that ended with the hosts 調印（する）ing a 素晴らしい 4-3 victory. Harvey Barnes has seen his Magpies career 妨害するd by 傷害s this season, but the 26-year-old finally got his 解除する-off moment after striking twice in the final 10 minutes to turn the match on its 長，率いる. Mail Sport's Craig Hope gives his 専門家 player ratings from St James' Park.

RIATH AL-SAMARRAI: It's ever so 平易な to be wise after the event, which is why there's a clip 広まる on social マスコミ of an unwise yellow card Sandro Tonali 選ぶd up when the going was good. It's a 混乱させるd scene - the fourth 公式の／役人 手配中の，お尋ね者 him to hurry up and Elliot Anderson was ready to come on. Tonali? He stood still for a moment or two and then took a step に向かって the sidelines, before pivoting 支援する again in the direction of the 審判（をする）, Andy Madley. Why so hesitant and agitated? Only he knows but it was やめる unusual at 5-1.

IAN LADYMAN: We care first and 真っ先の about what these lads do for us on the field. We want them to 勝利，勝つ. We have waited a long time and once again we feel as though England have an 適切な時期 this summer in the European 選手権s. We don't 推定する／予想する these young men to live perfect lives. It is unrealistic. There will be blemishes. But they have been placed on the 権利 path. That's the important bit and as the 首相 League continues to grow and 押し進める 今後 as a 国内の 競争 of unrivalled 質 and 演劇, it is impossible not to be heartened by the fact that our own young players remain at the heart of it.

It may not be in his nature to sit out a 選び出す／独身 race, but I can see how he might be tempted. And there is a precedent for such a move. It goes 支援する to 1979 and the 拷問d season Niki Lauda 耐えるd at Bernie Ecclestone's Brabham. Lauda 苦しむd 11 退職s from 13 races, and enough was enough at the Canadian Grand Prix. The 広大な／多数の／重要な Austrian's mood matched Montreal's 哀れな 天候. After practice, he told Ecclestone he was 'tired of 運動ing around in circles' and was retiring on the 位置／汚点／見つけ出す, not from races but from grand prix racing (later to return, in 1982). Ecclestone 受託するd this, albeit with some 不本意 given there were two 一連の会議、交渉／完成するs of the 選手権 remaining.

IAN HERBERT: It いつかs seems that those who 見解（をとる） our football from beyond these shores have the greatest 評価 of the cathedrals, once central to the game's history, which have been bulldozed now. When a 主要な 文書の photographer, Stuart Roy Clarke, 手配中の，お尋ね者 to create a 調書をとる／予約する he called 'The Homes of Football', 逮捕（する）ing his 1990s 旅行 around our 国内の game as it stood on the cusp of a modernisation, the only publisher willing to （売買）手数料，委託（する）／委員会／権限 it was German - 'Spielmacher'. The finished 製品, published a few years ago, is beautiful, though the text is in German, with English translation tucked away at the 支援する. Some of those 広大な／多数の／重要な stadiums - packed with fans when Clarke 描写するd them - remain as iconic as ever to those who remember them, a point 証明するd by the 返答 to Mail Sport 新聞記者／雑誌記者 Ian Ladyman's 旅行 支援する to the centre of the old Maine Road centre circle, in south Manchester, last year.

OLIVER HOLT: Any 名簿（に載せる）／表（にあげる） - your 名簿（に載せる）／表（にあげる） 同様に as my 名簿（に載せる）／表（にあげる） - can become 支配するd by those who are not on it. But really, it should be about the players who are on it. This 名簿（に載せる）／表（にあげる） is meant as a 祝賀 of them and of football's rich, rich history and of what the game means to all of us and of what players mean to us and why they 逮捕（する） something in us. I know you'll 同意しない with some of the 指名するs on the 名簿（に載せる）／表（にあげる） and you'll be 権利 to. One man's trash is another man's treasure. The depth of our feeling for the game and the intensity of our opinions about the players are just some of the things that make football so beautiful.

JONATHAN McEVOY: A 無作為の snake is the last thing 決まり文句／製法 One needs 権利 now. But Zak Brown, the McLaren boss, waves me over and 勧めるs me to take a seat. I hope for some high-level gossip as he sips his 有望な blue energy drink. I pull out the 議長，司会を務める, and where I would have sat lies - coiled up, tongue out - a spineless, carnivorous reptile. Thankfully, it was a 偽の - a joke snake, a welcome levity, and an 輸入する that 要求するd Brown to 申し込む／申し出 an explanation at airport 安全 for its introduction into the country. And next day the plastic impersonator was 運命にあるd for driver Lando Norris' helmet. For giggles. 'Who would you most like to have that snake 毒（薬）,' I wondered aloud.

IAN LADYMAN: It hasn't been a 特に 広大な／多数の／重要な week for football's 伝統的な 支払う／賃金ing 顧客s. A VAR 延期する of almost six minutes at West Ham, price 引き上げ（る）s at Manchester City, OAP 譲歩s scrapped at Tottenham. At Chelsea, 一方／合間, relations between the club and its fanbase continue to 悪化する. It's a grim picture, for sure, and it's one painted on a landscape already pockmarked with 現在進行中の and ingrained 無視（する） for match-going football fans. Prices, kick-off times, public 輸送（する） challenges. The direction of travel has been 始める，決める for some time and shows no 調印する of turning 一連の会議、交渉／完成する. It's やめる shameful.
