Alexander-Arnold leaves as modern Liverpool great - but fans will feel hurt

Trent Alexander-Arnold's announcement that he is leaving Liverpool at the end of the season confirmed what had seemed an inevitability for months.

And even though his next destination was not mentioned in his emotional farewell video, it is an open secret that he will join his friend and England colleague Jude Bellingham at Real Madrid.
He's a good young player and any team would miss him but good luck to him with a new club and a new language to learn

Stevie. G would have signed for Chelsea if the scouse mafia hadn’t stopped him.  Some of these Liverpool fans slating Trent. Good on him he could have been comfortable at Liverpool but going for a new challenge.

Real Madrid are a great club but leaving the best club in the UK will be a challenge for him and I hope he does well over there.   Real used to insist on all their team speaking Spanish so I hope that Scouse is not his only language.
Mind you Beckham went there and I don't know if he ever spoke Spanish

Amorim admits he may have to leave if poor form continues

United's appalling finish hit another low note at Old Trafford as they lost 2-0 to a West Ham side that had failed to win any of their previous eight games.

As well as questioning his own future, Amorim said: "We are losing the feeling that we are a massive club and it's the end of the world to lose a game at home.
He has also said that this is the worst ever United team and he is right.     They are rubbish and he is being honest but it can't inspire confidence in his team to hear him saying that

Goodison Park to become home of Everton's women
Goodison Park is to become the home of Everton's women after the club scrapped plans to demolish the 132-year-old stadium.

The Blues will move to their new 53,000-seater arena at Bramley-Moore Dock this summer.

During construction of the new facility on the Liverpool waterfront, Everton's previous ownership group announced plans for an £82m post-demolition renovation project at the Goodison site, which was set to include housing, a care home, retail units and a park.

'Maybe the thought of taking a penalty at Wembley was too muc but it was a good game  to watch and well done to Crystal Palace.    It's quite refreshing to see the underdogs winning for a change
