This was arguably the Gunners’ finest performance of the season, Kim Little was metronomic, Leah Williamson elite, Mariona Caldentey hungry, Alessia Russo clinical and Chloe Kelly unplayable, as they utterly dominated from start to finish in front of a record quarter-final crowd of 22,517 fans.

This game is no different. I think the work that we’ve done, you can see the direction that we’re going in. We need to make results matter and count for us always, as a football club, so the focus never shifts. But we can’t think about those sorts of things. We just focus on the task at hand in the next game. And we’re always trying to win, obviously.” Continue reading...

Rebuild job was always waiting for Arne Slot and expected exit of homegrown star to Real Madrid marks its start To make an end is to make a beginning: the end is where we start. Wise words there from TS Eliot, who, to be fair, never had to rebuild a high-end Premier League team while also dealing with closing out a title race, natural era-wastage, and losing your most successful homegrown player since the glory days of Phil Thompson waving the European Cup around in the pub and all that. For Liverpool supporters it seems likely the next month will bring a wildly varying emotional register. Departures and farewells. Winning the league in front of actual non-quarantined humans. The sense, even through the veil of commemorative red smoke, that the team that got you here is finally starting to become something else. Spring is always a time of reckoning up in football, April the cruellest month, all new shoots and final blooms, memories and desires, cheers but also sometimes jeers. So yeah. Let’s see how that pans out for the lads. Continue reading...

Defender’s expected transfer will put him alongside Owen and McManaman as Reds unable to resist the Bernabéu That Liverpool to Real Madrid is a regular trade route will do little to douse the rage Trent Alexander-Arnold’s expected move to the Spanish capital has caused. That Madrid are Liverpool’s nemesis in terms of European Cup/Champions League wins and, in recent years, two finals of that same competition, will hardly sweeten the pill, either. If Steven Gerrard resisted such temptations, feted forebears and contemporaries were tempted and succumbed. The aristocratic hubris of Madrid has regularly robbed Liverpool of its prime talents. Not just those loved and lost. Jude Bellingham might be two years into his Anfield career by now, such a plan mooted in Liverpool’s front office, only for him to opt for the Bernabéu.

Real Madrid hope to agree five-year deal with English player  Leer

Five-year deal being finalised for Liverpool right-backAlexander-Arnold’s Anfield contract expires in summer Real Madrid are close to completing a deal to sign Trent Alexander-Arnold on a free transfer this summer. The Liverpool right-back has long been a target for the European champions and there is now a widespread expectation that he will join Carlo Ancelotti’s side when his contract expires at the end of the season. The move has not been finalised yet and an agreement will need to be communicated to Liverpool when it is sealed. But sources in Spain have indicated that Madrid have put a five-year deal on the table for Alexander-Arnold, paving the way for him to bring an end to his association with his boyhood club. The 26-year-old has been crucial in Liverpool’s recent success and has largely been excellent this season. Continue reading...
