More mayhem in #Madrid !
After Athletico put Spurs to the sword last night, their cross-city rivals #RealMadrid are doing the same to #ManCity - courtesy of a #Valverde hat trick.
Can Pep inspire his men to bounce back in second half?
Big 45mins to come at the Bernabeu..

My latest for Football 360 features exclusive quotes from
#BrisbaneRoar striker Nick D’Agostino on his plans for a return from injury in time for World Cup selection.
Have a read if you like! 😀⚽️

What the hell is going on at #Spurs?
4-0 down in 20 mins away at Madrid in tonight’s #ChampionsLeague tie, Igor Tudor must be regretting taking the interim role.
Could he be the third manager sacked from Tottenham this season? 😳
#ATMTOT #THFC
#WestHam hold their nerve to score all five penalties in shootout at London Stadium.
Neither team will have wanted the extra time that preceded it, but Hammers prevail to reach last 8 of #FACup for first time in a decade.
Back to the race for Europe in the Prem for #Brentford
#WHUBRE #WHUFC
We’ll see. Draw tonight (UK time) before the Brentford v West Ham game!
After a procession of #FACup wins by Big 4 clubs on Friday & Saturday, today did not go to plan for Premier League teams.
Second tier #Southampton beat #Fulham away, while the shock of the round saw #PortVale humble #Sunderland.
The magic of the Cup lives on!

We need to talk about Mo #Salah ..
Yes, he scored last night in #Liverpool ‘s 3-1 #FACup win at Wolves, but it was a back post tap in & he did little else.
The swagger of last season is gone, possibly forever imho.
Would love to hear Reds fans’ opinions.
#WOLLIV #LFC

Massive game for #Spurs tonight at home to #Palace, and new coach Igor Tudor has made a statement with his team selection.
Xavi Simons & Conor Gallagher both benched, and 19yr old Brazilian Souza makes his first start at LB.
Brave?
#TOTCRY #PremierLeague #THFC
Crosses into the box for Kerr’s head. Best way for the Tillies to best the inevitable low block Iran will deploy.
Would be nice to see KCC too!
#Matildas #AFCWomensAsianCup
My attention switched to #AFCWomensAsianCup today, with an appearance on @roundballaus.bsky.social ‘s Dubcast podcast to discuss the latest games & preview #Matildas game.
Big thanks to host @itspoletti.bsky.social for inviting me. 🙏
Have a watch if you like. ⬇️

Bad news for #BrisbaneRoar fans today, with BOTH their key strikers confirmed out for 6 weeks due to injury.
Socceroo hopeful Nick #D’Agostino & Englishman Chris #Long both left the field injured last Saturday v Perth.
Look out for my exclusive interview with Nick in coming days..👀
#ALM #BRFC
Big night of #PremierLeague football tonight, particularly for relegation threatened #LeedsUtd , who play #Sunderland at Elland Road.
Interesting team selection from the visitors, with no #Xhaka in midfield or #Roefs in goal.
Are they prioritising Sunday’s FA Cup tie instead?
#LEESUN #EPL
If you thought the managerial merry go round in the Premier League was out of control, check this out from #Brasil ! 😳

Big win for #Boro , and Australian Riley #McGree gets another start under his belt to help his side get a vital 3pts & remain 2nd in #Championship .
On loan defender Matt #Targett the hero with 2 first half goals, but still no sign of fellow Aussie Sammy #Silvera for ‘Boro..
#BIRMID #EPL #MFC
That’s true of the Philippines squad too though..
Can someone tell me why #Arsenal still have “Visit Rwanda” on their shirts? 🤷♂️
I get it’s sponsorship but not exactly on point from a messaging point of view - wasn’t that a failed policy of a previous government?! 😀
#ARSCHE #PremierLeague #AFC
Which #PremierLeague teams will qualify for next season’s European competitions?
It’s complicated..
Big chance England gets 5 Champions League spots for 26/27 & Carabao Cup final is Arsenal & City (both almost certain to qualify for UCL ).
So #Brentford & #Everton right in the mix..
#EFC #BFC
With all that is going on in the world today, i’m just wondering what happens with #Iran ‘s participation in this summer’s #FIFAWorldCup?
And this game in Seattle - Iran’s second fixture in Group G - is likely to be a tinder box now.
Let’s hope football conquers hate..
#WorldCup2026
Massive news for #BrisbaneRoar - their captain Jay #O’Shea returns to starting line up for their crunch home tie with Perth tonight.
O’Shea has missed the last 3 games with a hamstring injury, and wasn’t expected back until mid March.
A gamble by #Valkanis? We’ll see..

My latest for @roundballaus.bsky.social on an issue close to my heart. ⬇️
Big thanks to @fundfooty.bsky.social & Roar Supporters Federation for their quotes. 🙏
Let’s get this done #Brisbane !

Team news is in for tonight’s #PremierLeague game at Everton, with #ManUtd centre back Lisandro #Martinez missing out due to a calf issue.
Still no starting spot for summer signing Benjamin Sesko, who remains on the bench despite scoring 3 goals since the turn if the year..
#EVEMNU #EPL #MUFC
Brilliant analysis for @skysportpl.bsky.social ‘s Jamie Carragher on the #Forest v #Liverpool game yesterday.
Some interesting points on Forest’s midfield three - “one of the best in the PremierLeague” - and Liverpool’s use of young winger Ngumoha…
#EPL #NFFC #LFC
youtu.be/U86C_JcJX-k?...
It’s official, #Spurs are in trouble.
After getting thoroughly outplayed by North London rivals at home, they are just 4points from the relegation places.
Another London derby away at Fulham next weekend looms as another massive game for new coach Igor Tudor…
#TOTARS #EPL #THFC #PremierLeague
First time #Long & #D’Agostino start up front for #BrisbaneRoar since the latter signed for the club in January.
Kiwi LB James #McGarry is a big out for the Roar - young Matt #Dench replaces him.
Big game for both clubs - #SydneyFC can stay in top 4 & Roar can rejoin finals picture..
#ALM #BRFC
This is worth a watch for any #Spurs & #Forest fans - #Ange ‘s tale of how an Greek immigrant from #Australia rose to manage one of England’s big clubs is inspiring.
Seems a genuine ‘good bloke’ & his story on Kenny Dalglish (my hero as a kid & his it seems!) is gold..
youtu.be/ablhEjnRj2I?...
Ex Rangers strikerAlly McCoist seems impressed with #Forest ‘s away win in Turkey tonight.
Forest look like making it two English teams in the last 16 of the #EuropaLeague , with Aston Villa already qualified.
Second leg in Nottingham next Thursday..
#FENNFO #NFFC #UEL
Er, yeah right.
See you at the World Cup? Trust me, we wish it wasn’t in America either..
Harsh headline from BBC Sport, but they may have a point (as do #Wolves).
Another night of drama in the #PremierLeague - great goal from Bueno, handbags at the final whistle & a last minute equaliser that could shape the title race.
Have #Arsenal blown it?
#EPL #AFC
www.bbc.com/sport/footba...
Big win for #Newcastle away in Azerbaijan , as the Geordies demolish #Qarabag in their #ChampionsLeague play-off 1st leg.
Four first half goals for Anthony #Gordon too - when’s the last time that happened in the #UCL ?!
An opportunity to rest players in 2nd leg as well now..
#QARNEW #NUFC
My latest for @roundballaus.bsky.social looks at the international prospects for 5 English based #Socceroos in light of the recent #EFL transfer window.
Who is your money on to make Poppa’s next Aussie squad in March?
