Why are Liverpool signing Mamardashvili now?

Why are Liverpool signing Mamardashvili now?

Look, I love Georgi Mamardashvili as much as Mama Mamardashvili, but the timing of his move to Liverpool seems a bit odd. He’s a fantastic goalkeeper, but so is Allison and he’s only 31. And then there’s Caoimhin Kelleher, he’s as trustworthy as any number two in the league. What’s going on, James Pearce?


And what’s all this about Ilkay Gundogan returning to Manchester City? He only left last summer, why’s he leaving Barcelona?


And I know that I said we’d watch one of the U21 EFL Cup games, but it turned out that I couldn’t access United or City, the next on the list was Spurs, but given that their own official website hasn’t even mentioned this fixture, we just felt that the potential audience for that sort of granular coverage was probably limited to the parents of the players, so we gave it a miss and did a great big stats rundown instead. No, wait. Don’t go. It’s more interesting than I’ve made it sound.

Spurs lose at hands of free-scoring Everton (Man Utd lose too, but that’s hardly news)

Did anyone expect David Moyes’ second coming to be quite this much fun? They tore Spurs to shreds in the first hour of their clash at Goodison Park, blotting their copybook only slightly by allowing A...
