• Man City at pricing crossroads amid Man United and Liverpool fans’ protests

  Manchester City has a strategic opportunity to strengthen fan relations by freezing ticket prices as rivals Liverpool and Manchester United face significant backlash over rising costs. ​Manchester City is approaching a critical decision regarding 2026/27 season ticket prices as the North Stand expansion nears completion. While Liverpool fans launch the “Not a pound in the ground” campaign and United implements a five per cent hike, City could buck the trend. Fan group Spirit of Shankly stated, “Liverpool FC has chosen to ignore clear, overwhelming opposition from its own supporters.” ​The club previously won praise by freezing costs following local pressure, distinguishing itself from other Premier League giants. However, uncertainty regarding Pep Guardiola’s future and recent ticketing changes have fueled the launch of The Citizens Trust. City now has the chance to prioritize loyalty over marginal revenue, especially as they integrate the 1894 group into the official fan board.

• Steven Gerrard identifies dream Mohamed Salah replacement at Liverpool

  Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard has identified Bayern Munich star Michael Olise as the ideal candidate to replace Mohamed Salah following the Egyptian’s confirmed summer departure.  

  Liverpool icon Steven Gerrard has identified Bayern Munich winger Michael Olise as the “dream” candidate to succeed Mohamed Salah at Anfield this summer.

  With Salah officially confirming his departure after nine trophy-laden years, Gerrard believes the Frenchman is one of the few players capable of replicating the Egyptian’s prolific output.

  Speaking on the challenge of replacing a legend, Gerrard noted, “Olise would be one, I would say, but I don’t think he’d be available.”

  ​Despite Gerrard’s endorsement, any move for Olise appears unlikely following a stern rebuttal from Bayern Munich’s honorary president, Uli Hoeness.

  Hoeness dismissed reports of a €200 million deal, taking a swipe at Liverpool’s recent spending and league form.

  He stated, “Liverpool spent 500 million euros this year and are having a very bad season. So we won’t be contributing to them playing better next year.” Olise remains central to Bayern’s long-term plans.

• Aaron Ramsey ‘curse’ ends as he retires after ‘killing off’ celebs from Bin Laden to Pope

  Arsenal and Wales legend Aaron Ramsey has officially retired from professional football at 35, concluding a 20-year career defined by major trophies, international heroics, and a bizarre internet “curse.”

  The footballing world pauses today as Aaron Ramsey announces his retirement at 35. The Welshman’s journey, spanning two decades, reached its pinnacle at Arsenal, where he became a legendary figure.

  Over 369 appearances, he netted 64 goals, including iconic FA Cup final winners in 2014 and 2017. His departure marks the end of an era for North London and Welsh football fans alike.

  Ramsey’s influence extended far beyond the Emirates. A cornerstone of Wales’ “Golden Generation,” he earned 86 caps and orchestrated their historic semi-final run at Euro 2016.

  Despite a career often hampered by injuries—including a horrific leg break in 2010—his resilience led him to Serie A glory with Juventus and a brief managerial stint at Cardiff City, proving his tactical depth and enduring quality.

  While his on-pitch achievements are undeniable, Ramsey retires with a unique pop-culture legacy: the “Ramsey Curse.”

  The bizarre phenomenon saw high-profile deaths coincide with his goals for years. From political figures to Hollywood icons, the trend fueled a decade of internet memes.

  As he hangs up his boots, the world of celebrity finally breathes a sigh of relief as the myth concludes.

• Arne Slot gets worrying message ahead of PSG clash in Champions League

  Liverpool manager Arne Slot faces a season-defining test against Paris Saint-Germain, with experts warning that another heavy defeat following the Manchester City disaster could result in his immediate dismissal.

  ​Confidence at Anfield has hit “rock bottom” following Liverpool’s 4-0 thrashing by Manchester City. Analysts Dave Davis and David Lynch warn that manager Arne Slot’s tenure is under unprecedented pressure ahead of the Champions League quarter-final against PSG.

  Lynch noted the daunting nature of the fixture, stating, “The idea that a team that is so bereft of confidence and quality is going to go there and somehow perform better, it does feel a little bit far fetched.”

  ​Tactically, Liverpool are expected to adopt a “low event” defensive approach to avoid further humiliation.

  Experts suggest Slot may “pack the midfield” to prioritize control over ambition.

  The stakes remain remarkably high for the manager; as Davis cautioned, “If it’s another four nil defeat, then I can’t even see Slot making the end of the season.”

  A positive result is now essential to restore faith in his leadership and the squad’s mental resilience.
