Why is Premier League punditry so crap?
If we know the stuff they’re saying about #LUFC is Grade A Waffle, Calum Archibald wonders, is what they’re saying about everyone else the same level of nonsense?

Ahead of the Milan derby on Sunday between #Inter and #Milan, you might want to read the story of Paddy Sloan.
It's almost 80 years since he scored in the derby for Milan, yet not many people know about the Lurgan man.

While anxiety exists over what the future may bring, looming large over our football club is a brand that already overshadows and undermines much of what #LUFC is, and the great work that it does.

Recruitment: definitely came up short in attack, if not overall.
Board: quite happy for Farke to take the fall. If they sack him, they can be seen to take action.
Farke: not playing the best hand with the cards he's been dealt, especially away from home. #lufc
