EPL: Man United Beat Liverpool 2-1
Manchester United scored once in both halves to overcome Liverpool 2-1 in their English Premier League (EPL) clash at Old Trafford on Monday night. In a match involving two sides who are winless in the three-week-old season, it was Man United that secured their first win, thanks to goals from Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford. Mohamed Salah, however, scored Liverpool’s consolation goal. Manchester…

Sunsets and footballers (Part 21)
Lucy Bronze x Reader (21)
Masterlist (other parts here)
(*Mentions of mental health, suicide and domestic abuse. Take care with this chapter please x *)
Much to Lucy’s amusement, YFN was driving her car for the first time. YFN had first suggested that she drive to Birmingham to get used to the car and roads in the UK, and because Lucy had done all of the driving thus far. The first 20 minutes had been stressful, but eased with Lucy’s amused support.
“It’s just a car, little one. I don’t care what happens to it as long as you’re okay..” She’d said. That and how calm she was explaining the differences in the roads made YFN feel much, much more at ease.
When she was comfortable enough, Lucy insisted they ran through some of the information that was emailed through by Lumos, Lucy testing her knowledge.
“I only briefly skipped through that email, Luce.. it was our third date.” She groaned.
“Don’t think I don’t know you’ve been doing research since the girls first told you about this job..”
YFN looked guilty. “I like to be prepared.”
Lucy chuckled. “I know. It’s one of the things I love about you.. and you might as well use me while I’m here, right? We’ll start slow.”
YFN groaned. “Okay, I’ll try my best.”
“Okay, talk to me about the different tiers of women’s football in England.”
“Starting off slow, hey?” She pouted. Lucy was challenging her. “Okay… okay. There’s the top tier, Tier 1, the Barclay’s FA WSL. It has 12 teams, bottom team gets relegated to Tier 2 which is the FA Women’s Championship. Also 12 teams, the winners going into the WSL for the next season, while the bottom-placed team are relegated Tier 3, the FA Women’s Nation’s League. Then it gets a bit complicated because there’s the northern teams against each other and the southern teams against each other with the top northern and southern team in the final FA WNL Championship Play-Off, the winner moving up to Tier 2, FA Champions League.”
She looked over at Lucy who was grinning at her proudly. “I knew you’d been researching.”
YFN blushed under her gaze. “It’s important to you.. so it’s important to me. Regardless of the job.”
“God, you’re so cute.” She kissed her on her little cheek dimple, her face reddening further. “Try name the 12 teams in the WSL for me..”
“Okay… okay I can do it by location, might be easier. Around Manchester you have 2 teams, Man United and Man City. Around Liverpool there’s Liverpool and Everton. Around Birmingham there’s Aston Villa. Close to them there’s Leicester, in Leicester.. then there’s Bristol City by itself, and around London are the other 5 teams, Brighton and Hove Albion, Chelsea, West Ham United, Arsenal, and… Tottenham.”
“You’re so sexy when you’re talking football..” Lucy commented as she fed YFN a Malteser.
“Why do I feel like I’m being rewarded like a dog?”
“Who’s a good girl,” Lucy cooed and patted her head. YFN rolled her eyes. “Who are the current WSL Champions?”
“Chelsea, they beat Man United.”
“Do any WSL teams play for other titles?”
“Uh.. there’s the Continental Cup? Conti Cup.. it’s the Tier 1 and Tier 2 teams together, so WSL and The Championship.”
“And the current Conti Cup Champions?”
“Arsenal.. they beat Chelsea.”
“Any other titles?”
“The UEFA Women’s Champions League.. it’s basically the WSL of Europe. It’s where all the fun happens and there’s a chance for a team like Arsenal to go up against a team like Barcelona.” She turned to Lucy. “Is it your favourite?”
“My favourite is definitely playing for England… but when playing with Barca then yeah, I love playing against the UK teams.”
“Is it hard playing against friends?”
She shrugged. “It was at first.. but then I found it’s much easier if you just go at players like opposition and don’t look at who they are. Just do your thing. I always want to win so it’s easier for me, but I know some of the girls struggle with it.”
YFN nodded and stole another Malteser. “Barcelona are the current Champions, obviously because they have the best right-back in history… and it was against Wolfsburg. Aaaand I believe that was your… fourth Championship title? 3 with Lyon, 1 with Barca?”
Lucy looked impressed. “You really have been doing your research, you sneak. I’m really proud of that too. Almost missed the one with Barca though.. I had surgery on my knee about 5 weeks before the final.” She trailed off, getting a little into her own head.
YFN put her hand on her knee, stroking it to console her. She knew there wasn’t much to say about it. “I can’t wait to see you play for Barca.”
That worked. Lucy smiled. “Tell me again why you can’t live in Spain, if you already have a team for you to work with? And once you get a good schedule going, they’ll be going to the games for you.. There’s…” she took YFN’s phone to read the email. “…Samantha, Bridget and Emily, Ethan, Daniel, Ruby…” She trailed off as she kept reading. “Okay so they’ve hired 4 videographers and 4 photographers, then there’s your IT guy Noel who is an all-rounder..”
“Yes, love, but I need to make sure they’re all comfortable editing because a lot don’t have the experience. We also need a specific style to create so it helps to build our brand and keep it all homogenous almost.. and then what if someone is sick and can’t cover a game?”
“It’s only 2 hours from Barca to London.” She offered.
YFN let herself look at Lucy for a second. She needed to get her scepticism across. It worked. Lucy was intelligent, she knew that YFN would be busy in the UK for the next 6 months at the very least.
YFN patted the steering wheel. “I think we’re going to be doing a lot of driving! I should name him… any ideas.”
“Miles?”
“Ohhh.. like Miles Morales?”
She could tell from Lucy’s expression that she had no idea who that was. “Who?”
“Spiderman… never mind, I’ll add it to our movie list. Eminem? After Miles Morales? No… no I like Miles. Let’s keep it simple.”
“We have a movie list?” Lucy looked excited and longing, almost. “Miles it is. Also, Spiderman is Peter Parker.”
“How dare you.”
Lucy wiggled her eyebrows. “Well I still think when you get more comfortable and all fall into a good rhythm covering games.. you can maybe work from Spain…” She gave those big eyes of hers as she sat sideways in the seat, admiring her girlfriend.
“Well I am mainly working on my laptop. But it’s such a small company right now, so they’ll expand quickly with all of the coverage if we do it right. Plus, they have so much money. What they’re offering pay-wise and then expense-wise is ridiculous.” She stopped herself, realising she was getting excited about the job again, and eased Lucy’s worries. “I’m sorry.. I’ll let us live in a little happy bubble for now, hm? We don’t know what could happen.”
Lucy sighed and reached out, her hand finding YFN’s pocket. “Who knows, maybe I’ll end up back in the WSL.”
“Or maybe I’ll be fired on my first day.”
Lucy scoffed. “Not a chance. They’re lucky to have you.”
YFN could tell Lucy was struggling with her emotions a little. She assumed the dread for their goodbye tomorrow was creeping up on the footballer also. She saw her fall into that little Lucy space and she left her there for a few minutes before she spoke. “Tell me what you’re thinking. Right… there.” The took her hand off the steering wheel to poke her in the middle of the forehead. “I can see it sitting there.”
Lucy came back with a little smile. “I was trying to decide if I was a bad person or not by thinking that I’m partially hoping Martin can’t get that working Visa for you..”
YFN laughed. “You know he will have it approved by the end of the night. And also… no, it’s not a bad thing. It melts my heart because it makes me feel wanted and needed by you. So, thank you for the honesty. And I..” She stopped herself, eyes widening at the fact that three words almost rolled off of her tongue. Before Lucy could question it, YFN’s phone rang.
“It’s Ridley.” Lucy said, shaking the phone for her to see. Before YFN could say anything, Lucy answered on loudspeaker.
“Hey baby Blue, I miss you.” Ridley drawled, flirty as usual.
YFN looked over at Lucy, expecting her to be jealous and she wasn’t disappointed. She’d spoken to Lucy about Ridley before, but only the bare minimum, like she had with Jordan. Ridley was an enigma, and one of her favourite people on the planet. She knew it wouldn’t take long for Lucy to pick up her personality and understand.
“Hey Riddles, I miss you too. What’s happening?”
“Sitting in an airport, wishing it were a beach. Waiting for a man, as usual. I swear, you let men into your life, and you get this. Constant irritation. Must be so hard to drag your little dick around that you end up late for everything.”
Lucy chuckled beside her at that.
“I can guarantee you’re 15 minutes early. And by the sound of your irritation.. waiting for your coffee I’m assuming?”
“It tames my demons. And you are, as usual, correct on both counts.” She began speaking to who YFN assumed was the barista. “Thanks baby, I’ll definitely call you.”
YFN felt like she could hear the wink from across the phone. Lucy raised her eyebrows in question and YFN shrugged. This was normal.
“Okay I’m back. Fuuuck, that’s a good coffee.”
“Are you going to call her or were you just being polite again?”
“Did the ‘definitely’ give me away again?” She asked sheepishly. “She’s cute but very much the relationship type. You know I don’t do that.”
“Mmnhmn. Lucy’s here by the way, we’re just driving to Birmingham.”
“Ah, Lucia Roberta, we finally meet. Kind of. Hold up…” She switched to Facetime as she walked through the airport, coffee in hand. Ridley was drop-dead stunning. She was the only person who had more confidence than Lucy, and it was obvious with the way she spoke and carried herself. She liked to keep herself fit and tidy, besides the alcohol she always slammed when she was at a festival or picking up. Her jawline was godly, her hair was the perfect dark, dark brown shaggy bob, and she had a noticeable scar on her face that started on her cheek and rose to the bottom of her left eye. Typically, it made her even more attractive.
“Hey there, I’ve heard a lot about you.” Lucy said, trying to control her jealously that rose as she saw how fucking stunning she was.
“If any of it is good, then she was lying. She does that to be nice.” She chuckled and got a little closer to the camera. “But she wasn’t lying when she told me about you though. Fuck, you’re sexy.”
Lucy was caught off guard and looked at YFN. Yep, she understood now. Ridley was just… Ridley. Lucy grinned at the compliment and turned back to the camera, her cockiness coming out.
“What can I say… I’m built different.” Lucy quoted and Ridley got the reference, the two sharing a laugh and flexing biceps. YFN rolled her eyes. Of course they’d get along. She could only imagine what they’d be like in person together, egging each other on to do things.
“Little dick appears to be here and… lost.” She brought her fingers to her mouth, whistling loudly.
“Don’t scare the boys, Riddles.”
She grinned at her friend. “My therapist says I should do what makes me happy. Besides, I’ve already had two men tell me I’m intimidating today.. three for the hat-trick, right Bronze?”
Lucy chuckled. “I believe in you.”
“Anyways, I called to see when you’re coming to Spain.. I miss you.”
“I miss you more, and I’ll be there in 13 days. The day before Lucy’s Liga F match if that helps.”
Ridley liked specifics. “It does. Okay, Blue, I’ll see you then. Bronze, don’t be a stranger. Adiós!”
The call ended and there was silence for several seconds. YFN tried to hide her smile and looked at Lucy who was already looking at her.
“Well?”
“She seems fun. And…”
“…an aquired taste.”
“I like her. You weren’t lying about the flirting.”
“No, love. Luckily I’m already pretty obsessed with a woman anyways.”
“Did you two ever..?”
YFN knew it was coming. “No. Never. That was never us, our relationship is more like… shared trauma. I think she’s the best person, but we’ve both been through quite a bit.”
Lucy was silent and so she continued. “We were neighbours growing up. Her family was even more dysfunctional than mine, but instead of not having a mum, she didn’t have a dad. She grew up fast and took it upon herself to look after her mum, a bipolar, and her brother who was autistic who was always getting bullied… really badly. She took my brother and I under her wing also.” She choked, getting a little emotional, knowing what was coming. “One night after school her brother was… beaten to death. To be more specific, beaten and left for dead. He was supposed to be picked up by their mum who was ‘trying to get better’. She got drunk and forgot about him. Ridley found him and held him until the cops arrived. She begged them not to tell her mum, because she was so erratic when she wasn’t well, and especially worse when alcohol was mixed. They didn’t listen because she was only young, and they called her anyways. She’d killed herself by the time Ridley was dropped home. She’d expected it to be honest. I… Ridley and I used to sneak into each other’s rooms at night to hang out, play games, read books, talk. I snuck into her room and she wasn’t there. I found her in the bathroom with her mum.” YFN couldn’t help the tears streaming down her face as she remembered. “There was so much blood, Luce. And Riddles… it was almost like she didn’t feel the grief at all. She was so prepared for it. She was forced to grow up too young.”
She looked at Lucy who was also crying, eyes closed and shaking her head. She continued. “That scar on her face? From my dad. After what happened, her Aunt moved in and started taking care of her. They stayed in that house because they couldn’t afford to sell it with the debt they were left. She’d stay in my room as much as possible to avoid the memories in her own house. She’d usually already be in my room by the time I came up there. I told you my dad was abusive..”
“He didn’t… touch you, did he?” Her voice shook, nervous for the response.
“Not in the way you think. He hit us. He’d have good days and bad days. On one of his worst days, Ridley heard it from my room and came down. He was going at my brother with a knife and I was trying to stop him. Ridley saw red and jumped in to save us. We were only young and my dad was a lot stronger, so he’d managed to still cut her face as she fought him. She got it off of him eventually and knocked him on his ass. He left the next day and never came back. Nan looked after us from then on. She.. she probably saved our lives. He wanted to kill us. I could see it on his face.” She sniffed, wiping the tears away with the cuff of her shirt. “I remember holding her hand when she got her stitches.. so you see, she’s one of the most important people in my life, and she always will be. We grew into such different people after all of that. Both of us really haven’t dated much. Riddles has dated one person I think? And she sabotaged it. I let myself date a few but none of them have understood me or what I need.” She took a deep breath in. Might as well tell her everything, right? “One of the biggest changes we noticed as we grew up was sex. Riddles doesn’t have sex for love, she does it to hold some form of control. If she can control herself and somebody else, and especially their orgasm, then it satisfies her. She doesn’t let anyone close except me because I was there. We’ve had long conversations about this. Whereas me… I was so much of a passenger in my life, always scared of my dad that I just want to be loved. And protected. Supported. I want that unconditional fucking hopeless romantic, Heath Ledger love. And when it comes to sex… my body craves someone that I can put my absolute trust in. Someone who I can give all of my control, my thoughts, my opinions to. Someone who will literally hold me down and fuck me for both of our benefits. I don’t want a choice.” She was so far in, that her admission scared even her. “I’ve never had that before. Saying it out loud like that… scares me. I’ve never been so honest about it and I’ve definitely never let myself give up any of my trust until I met you.” She looked at Lucy who looked in awe. She reached a hand out as if to strangle her. “You, and your pretty fucking face. You, and your inability to pronounce ‘th’ in a sentence. You, and that fucking grin that lights up a room.”
Lucy pointed outside. “Pull over. Right there.”
YFN sighed as did as she was told, knowing that whatever came of her confession she’d accept. She pulled over and took her time, putting the car into park, handbrake on.
Lucy unclipped her seatbelt and leaned over the centre console, her hand finding YFN’s face as she pulled her towards her. Their lips met passionately. Then needily. Then desperately. Gasps for air and desperate breaths filling the air.
“Luce..” she whimpered against her lips in between the barrage of kisses she was receiving. Lucy took a little while to respond, distracting herself. “You’re mine. I will always keep you safe and make sure you’re loved. Do you understand?” She pulled YFN’s head to her collarbone and held her tight. Of course, the tears started up again. She can’t believe she’d told Lucy.
Lucy held her tightly, her hand stroking her hair, whispering sweet nothings, and reassuring her. Giving her everything she needed.
The emotions settled down eventually and YFN mumbled into Lucy’s shirt. “You know, I’m still really embarrassed about how forward I was when we started texting..”
Lucy vibrated under her, laughing softly. “Oh, I definitely encouraged that. It was perfect.”
YFN leaned back so she could see Lucy. She assumed her face reflected her girlfriends. Puffy red eyes and tear-stained cheeks. She cheekily tapped her cheek and Lucy took the hint, leaning in and kissing it with lingering lips. She kissed it a few more times and sat back in her seat. And then, they were off again.
They arrived at Jordan’s after dark, the little blonde bouncing up and down in the driveway as they pulled up. Jordan jumped on the closest person, Lucy, her legs wrapping around her waist. Lucy wrapped her in a tight hug.
“Alright, Jords?”
“I missed you too!”
“We missed you more, mate.” YFN said as she rounded the car. Jordan dropped off of Lucy and tried to do the same to YFN, though they were both a similar height and weight and ended up sprawled on the ground laughing.
The house was a cute little stand alone and inside was modern and fresh. It was a wide open space with its kitchen, dining and living area all sharing the same room which led out to the patio. It was a 2 by 2, with a bedroom either side of the large entertainment area. YFN found her bedroom, it was much larger than she imagined and had an ensuite. She turned and glared at Jordan. “You didn’t.”
“You have Lucy.. and my bathroom is perfect.” Just as she saw YFN about to argue she continued. “I originally picked that room, I promise! It doesn’t get the morning light, and I like being on that side.”
YFN pouted, wanting to argue but knowing it would be useless.
“Yay, shower sex.” Lucy said as she opened YFN’s suitcase on the bed. It was the most unhinged thing she’d ever heard Lucy say and her mouth dropped open. This was obviously the same for Jordan who was caught off guard. “Joking.. but not really. Go and have your little chat, I’ll unpack.” She insisted as she pushed them both out the door.
“I can’t believe she never said that to me…” Jordan whined. She was getting teary eyed as she looked at YFN. “Why didn’t she tell me?”
“I think she was scared... and torn… and trying to justify the unjustifiable. She knows she messed up.” She hugged Jordan a little tighter.
“She’s coming tonight.”
“What?!”
“I think tonight has gotten just a little bit out of hand..”
“How out of hand are we talking about?”
“Um.. I don’t know the exact number but I know the restaurant had to order more chairs.”
YFN’s eyed widened. “Wait… what?” Lucy walked out of the bedroom then and she directed her next question at her. “What am I walking into?”
Lucy tilted her head with an innocent look and shrugged. “The girls love a catch up, and as far as I know, no one has organised anything like this before so I think word spread around pretty quickly. I think between me, Jords, Katie and Caitlin, we managed to get quite a few different nationalities interested… we have no idea how many are coming though. Katie was organising that.”
“Oh, they’ll be here soon actually. We should get ready.” Jordan said, wiping her eyes.
“What are you going to do about Leah tonight..?” YFN asked gently.
Jordan shrugged. “As far as I’m concerned, this doesn’t change anything. She still hasn’t spoken to me. I need some time to process and maybe I’ll let her say what she needs to. I don’t want to talk to her tonight, though.”
"You know the safe word.."

Face The Music
player: trent alexander-arnold words: 530 warnings: blow jobs, brief mention of ejaculation on tiddies. 2 requests merged: 250 - 500 words - she / her - Smut -  enemies to lovers (reader is a man utd fan and dislikes liverpool but somehow it goes around like that idk)
Idea for Trent: You’re the daughter of a Gary Neville and he finds out you are dating Trent by seeing you at a Liverpool game in #66 shirt❤️‍🔥
Tumblr media
“Don’t fucking say it,” you say through gritted teeth when you see the size of his grin. You’re down on your knees, the towel discarded on either side of you as the water droplets from the shower air dry on your skin. He doesn’t need to say it, his face does it for him as you flatten your tongue along the underside of his shaft and lick him from base to tip before sinking your lips down over the first couple of inches, stopping before he can hit your gag reflex.
You shouldn’t be here and you certainly shouldn’t be on the floor before him giving him another “a world class blow job” as he put it. You’d told him after the first time that you wouldn’t do this again. Manchester United was in your blood and if your dad knew you were texting Trent let alone fucking him, you wouldn’t be allowed to his for at least a month. Then again, you probably wouldn’t be able to look your dad in the eye after this for worry he’d just know.
But Trent found it amusing. He loved how a little flirting had turned into sexting and taken further in the last month. He loved how, in a twisted way, Gary Neville’s daughter, a long term United supporter, is sucking not only a Liverpool player’s cock, but his. You thought having him once would sate your sexual appetite for him but that hadn’t been the case and you needed him more than ever. You’d tried to ignore it, not wanting to give in but it didn’t work. The harder you tried to suppress the urge, the stronger it became and now here you are.
Your hand grips his shaft while your mouth takes as much as you can in, whilst being torn between wanting to keep your eyes open and looking up at him and closing them to savour this as much as possible. Your legs clamp together, trying not to let your pussy wet anywhere other than the tops of your thighs when you mostly want his cum dripping down your thigh instead of just your own wetness.
-
“Thought you weren’t gonna wear it?” Trent asks, snapping the waistband of his boxers back into place as you tie his jersey in a knot at your waist. The bold 66 on your back remains there, unlike something else that was spurted over your tits before being thoroughly cleaned off.
“Not where people can see, I’m not.” You comment and fill your hands with a United jersey that you intend to cover it with.
“Then why wear it at all?” He asks, looking down at his body to make sure he’s looking ok before holding open the door for you.
“Thought you might like knowing I’m wearing it. Even if no-one else knows.”
“And why would he like that?” the distinct voice that you’ve grown up with sounds and just like when you were a child, you feel your shoulders raise as your head dips low at the question which serves as a reprimand. With a grimace twisting your features, you turn to look at your dad and face the music.

Tumblr media
You'd only made things official just under two years ago, but it still felt like the two of you had been together your entire lives; there was no one who you felt more at home with than Trent, who was watching you carefully as you remained zoned out, staring at the carpet in front of you.
You were both in bed, him scrolling through his phone just about to go to sleep as you sat up next to him, reading but not currently interested in the book because your mind was else where.
'What are you thinking about?' He asked, as he noticed you staring into space.
'Hmm?' You asked, wanting him to repeat himself.
'You've been frozen for a few minutes, what's on your mind?' He repeated, patting his lap for you to fall into it, slotting yourself between his legs as he placed the duvet over the two of you for you to talk; one of your favourite parts of the day was the conversations you'd have late at night.
'I was just remembering the day we met.' You revealed, smiling as memories flooded back to you instantly.
'Do you remember the day?' He questioned, curious.
'My memory is a little rusty, what about you?' You wondered, making him laugh as he nodded.
'Like it was yesterday to be honest.' He told you, truthfully.
'Enlighten me then.' You demanded, finding it admirable he could recall something like this.
'Well.. It was that day of the match..' He started, getting you to picture the day, knowing instantly exactly what he was talking about.
————————
You'd known Marcus for a while now; since before he turned pro due to you attending the same school.
Not only that but you got along great with his girlfriend, who in this case had begged you to accompany her to the United Vs Liverpool game, forcing you to sit in Rashy's box even though everyone was aware you supported Liverpool.
You were happy to cheer Marcus on too however, who managed to score a goal even if the game ended up being in Liverpool's favour, allowing them to win 2-1.
You were over the moon, hoping to hide your enthusiasm when you went to see Marcus after the game, spotting him chatting away to presenters whilst you both patiently waited for him to finish, stood incredibly near to the Liverpool players who were still celebrating with each other.
You noticed one of the players also giving an interview after a Man of the Match performance from two assists, and you recognised him to be Trent Alexander-Arnold from all the times you’d seen him play before.
It wasn't until you were nudged by your friend to get going that you realised you were gawking directly at him, which he must have noticed too as he gave you a cocky wink before you looked away, embarrassed.
You noticed Marcus go into the tunnel, with the Liverpool player closely following behind as you both also made a move for it, mainly so that Marcus' girlfriend could give him some words of encouragement post match.
You stepped to the side, noticing Marcus deep in conversation with Trent, congratulating each other on their achievements in the game as it was the first game of the season, all whilst you waited for them to finish.
'You played amazing.' Your friend told Marcus, comforting him as you approached them and said pretty much the same, Trent still stood there too.
'Bet you're buzzing.' Joked Rashy, noticing you trying to hide your grin.
'Of course I am, you did play great though.' You assured him, with a smile.
'Why is she buzzing?' Trent asked.
'Liverpool fan that's why.'
'I see, you support the best club then.' Smirked Trent, and you tried to contain your smile, noticing how much more attractive he was in person.
'Well I'll see you soon mate, well done on the win.' Rashford said, going in to hug Trent as he walked away with his girlfriend, leaving you unknowingly alone with each other.
'Enjoyed the game then?' Asked the right back, trying to break the ice and start a conversation, causing you to nod in return, staying unintentionally silent.
'You gone shy on me?' He teased, and it took everything in you not to blush in front of him right now, although he could probably sense how nervous you were.
'It was a good game, that was some pass.' You praised, pointing out his footballing ability which contributed to the goals.
'It’s what I do best. How do you know Marcus?' He asked you, suddenly looking you up and down.
'We went to school together, you think you can win the league for us this year?' You asked, changing the conversation back to football as it was the only thing that would keep you from going as red as a tomato.
'I'll win the league for you don't worry.' He replied, making you question whether he was flirting or not.
'You have a nice smile you know?' He told you, his eyes fixated on our mouth - confirming your suspicions.
'I guess we have that in common then.' You laughed, focused on his perfect teeth and the lines that formed around his lips when he smiled.
'Oh?'
'Oh!' You responded.
'I'm in Manchester for the weekend, you doing anything tonight?' He asked you, and you were sure you'd heard him incorrectly as there was no way he'd be that blunt with you already.
'I'm free, why?' You answered, wanting to know exactly what he was getting at.
'You fancy coming for dinner with some friends? Rashy will be there too as a matter of fact.' He proposed, and you were suddenly aware of what he was talking about, as Marcus and his girlfriend had previously been trying to convince you to go - to which you declined as you didn't have a reason to and certainly didn't want to third wheel them all night; but it was different now if someone else was asking.
'Okay.' You simply said, as he passed you his phone, getting you to type your number in before winking at you a final time.
'I'll see you then.' He said, walking away, leaving you to wonder what had just happened and how he had you under such a spell so fast as you went to navigate your friends.
Eventually it was late evening, and you were perched in front of your mirror wondering if your outfit was okay; not wanting it to be too formal as it was a casual event with friends, but also not too scandalous either,
You opted for a plain tube top with some jeans and a jacket over it, leaving your hair out as you anticipated Marcus' arrival to pick you up, finally receiving the all clear as you stepped outside and spotted his car with your friend sat inside too.
'You look stunning!' She said, as you both admired each others' looks.
You hadn't even told Marcus or his girlfriend about your little interaction with Trent from earlier, and you planned on keeping it quiet until you got to the restaurant, where you found yourself seated opposite to him.
After ordering you watched as everyone spoke over one another, and being a generally quiet person you kept your mouth shut, something you noticed about Trent too who wasn't being the most sociable at the moment.
Unknown: You look good.
You wondered who that was, and it only took one glance to the man sat before you to realise it was Trent, messaging you from under the table whilst you waited for your food, grinning as he saw you read the message.
You: Just good?
Trent: Okay you look stunning then.
You: I'd really prefer it if you used your words, I'm right here ;)
He silently chuckled seeing your message, mouthing a simple 'You're stunning' quietly as everyone else was too consumed in their own conversations to notice.
'Trent, you're single aren't you?' Asked Rashford, causing everyone's attention to turn to him as he nodded in response.
'Take Y/n off my hands will you? She's like the third person in our relationship.' He joked, making you sarcastically roll your eyes as Trent and everyone else burst into laughter.
He simply ignored the comment, as did you as you both felt awkward in front of everyone, but continued to message each other as the night finally came to an end.
You got up to join everyone else who was leaving as the night coming to an end, following after Marcus as he was your ride.
'Let me take you home.' Pleaded Trent, catching up to you as Marcus waited.
You hesitantly nodded, unsure why he had taken an interest in you, but not mad at it as you were just as interested in him.
'Y/n let's go.' Called Marcus.
'I'll find my own way back don't worry.' You told him, watching as he looked confused.
'What are you on about? Get in the car.' He told you, clearly exhausted and just wanting to get home.
'I'll take her home Rashy don't worry.' Trent interjected, whilst Marcus rubbed his eyes laughing.
'You? I was only joking before mate.. but go for it.' He chuckled, catching on before he left.
You were thankful for his music choice, something you both had to bond over as he blared Adele through his car, and you had to say you didn't take him as a guy who listened to Adele.
'I need to go to an Adele concert badly.' He told you.
'I went this summer, she was amazing.' You told him, as he couldn't help but display his jealousy more obviously.
You hadn't even known the guy an entire day and felt so comfortable with him, almost disappointed when the journey came to an end and he stopped outside your home.
'Thank you.' You told him, before getting out.
'Don't worry about it.'
'And Y/n?' He called, stopping you in your tracks.
'Yeah?' You answered.
'I wanna take you out properly soon, just the two of us?' He revealed, looking hopeful.
'I'd like that.' You smiled, as he leaned closer to you.
You didn't want to be the one to kiss him first, fearing his reaction as you'd only just met him today, even though you wanted it badly. Instead he did the hard work for you, pulling you in for a simple yet fulfilling kiss, breaking it off shortly as you told him you had to go.
You couldn't quite believe so much had happened in such a short time, and although you barely knew each other you instantly felt that spark, curious to know if this could become something serious..
------
'How on earth do you remember all that?' You teased, listening in carefully as your boyfriend remembered all of the tiny details.
'How can I not remember how I met you?' He backed.
'I remember the date after that, you took me to that sushi place but we both hated it and opted for a McDonald's instead.' You recalled, laughing.
'Then finally you asked me out a month later when you were back in Manchester.' You added.
'Best decision ever.' He said, as your eyes began to shut.
'Goodnight, love you.' You muttered, falling asleep still laying between him.
'Night, I love you too.' He whispered, kissing your forehead contently.

↳ You were his fan, of course you were you were his girl but your true loyalties lied with your club so when he decided to put on a performance against them seemingly to piss you off, you can't help but be furious with him - not matter how hot he looked doing it
↳ Trent really know how to piss his rival girlfriend off.
↳ After a glorious home win, you finally get some retribution against your rival boyfriend.
Fatal Attraction*
↳ Trent is in love with you and he believes he's the best fit for you. He's always there for you and shows you love through friendship but he won't admit to his true feelings. He'll do everything but that, including sabotaging your potential relationships.
Flame to the Fire*
↳ When together, the chemistry was undeniable but ultimately the fire that burnt between the two of you was dangerous. He wanted you but he couldn’t keep adding flames to the fire that burnt him. He thought he would be better off moving on but moving on wasn’t that simple.

The Daily Mail
LIVERPOOL AND MAN UTD LEGENDS JAMIE CARRAGHER AND GARY NEVILLE REVEAL GAY RELATIONSHIP?
Former rivals turned co-pundits posted Valentine’s day messages on their Instagram accounts which appear to show an intimate relationship between the two men, who were both married to women for over ten years. Neither has responded for comment.
Comments:
> they’re the worst pundits on sky anyway they don’t even try to hide the bias for their teams
> gary neville’s always trying to bring politics into everything rishi was right he should stick to football!
> well I will be getting my commentary from MOTD moving forward. wish I could cancel sky sports but can’t afford to miss all the match coverage so they will be getting a strongly worded letter from me instead.
The Guardian
OPINION: IT’S 2024. WHY HAS THE FOOTBALL WORLD NOT CAUGHT UP?
There are still no openly gay players in the top tier of the men’s game. Now that two retired premier league footballers have come out, we have to ask: why is this headline news?
Both Liverpool and Manchester United football clubs have posted messages in support of Neville & Carragher, and so have many current and former players. But it begs the question why they thought that support might not be implicit, or why the two pundits had to publicly “come out” at all.
Comments:
> tbh I didn’t even know who they were until I saw Beckham’s ig story 💀
> surprised Gerrard’s not said anything, thought he and Carragher were mates >>> probably can’t if he wants to keep his manager contract $$$
> the guardian: why is the media making a fuss about two ex-footballers coming out? the guardian: is part of the media making a fuss about two ex-footballers coming out…
Twitter
Sports - Trending Gary Neville 264k tweets
Jamie Carragher 151k tweets
@.1111 they’ve been obsessed with each other for years is anyone really surprised
@.222 ngl I thought Gary Neville was already out as gay? You’re telling me people have believed he’s straight this whole time??
@.333 it’s giving slow burn enemies to lovers 150k words…
@.444 sky already wheels the two of them out together whenever they need to promote ANYTHING I bet it’s gonna get 10x worse now

You and Alejandro had been going out for around 3 months now. Since that day on the training ground you’ve gotten close and really connected. You two even live together.
Marc skinner had still been treating you horribly, sometimes taking you off when you had been playing well. For example, last week you had just scored a goal in the 50th minute, then two minutes later he took you off.
You had even gotten upset about it when you got home, crying to your boyfriend.
“Pensé que jugué bien!” You had said crying into his shoulder. (I thought I played well)
“lo hiciste mi amor él es simplemente cruel” He had replied, kissing your head. (You did my love he is just cruel).
Today you were in the stands of Old Trafford, with your best friend Ella Toone. You and Ella had become very close since you moved to the women’s United team. She was the first person to help you get settled in.
The two of you were here to watch Man united vs Liverpool. You knew it would be a tough game, but you believed in them.
Mams you were right to because in the final minutes of extra time, Amad Dialli had scored making united win 4-3. The entire stadium was buzzing with happiness.
You and Ella made your way out of the top stands, and you walking out to the car park so you could meet your boyfriend, you bid Ella goodbye.
Once you turned the corner, you saw Alejandro walk out with Kobbie, the two with huge smiles on their faces.
“Ale!” You called out running up to him.
“Mi amour” he smiled, you ran up and jumped into his arms.
“Jugaste tan bien!” You said kissing his cheek.
“Hey y/n” Kobbie said, smiling cheekily at you.
“Hey Kobbie we’ll done today you deserved the win” you said as he left.
“ven vamos a celebrar” Alejandro whispered with an eager look on his face.
You laughed but it was cut off when he leant down and kissed you passionately.
“Te amo ale” you whispered leaning your forehead against his.
“Te amo” he whispered back, before wrapping an arm around your waist and leading you to his car.

I know you've all been waiting eagerly for it, and here it is: the first Wikipedia poll of the new year! Links and summaries below the cut as always.
On 29 September 1940, a mid-air collision occurred over Brocklesby, New South Wales, Australia. The accident was unusual in that the aircraft involved, two Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) Avro Ansons of No. 2 Service Flying Training School, remained locked together after colliding, and then landed safely.
On 11 May 1812, at about 5:15 pm, Spencer Perceval, the prime minister of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, was shot dead in the lobby of the House of Commons by John Bellingham, a Liverpool merchant with a grievance against the government. Bellingham was detained; four days after the murder, he was tried, convicted and sentenced to death.
The Dorset Ooser (/ˈoʊsər/) is a wooden head that featured in the 19th-century folk culture of Melbury Osmond, a village in the southwestern English county of Dorset. The head was hollow, thus perhaps serving as a mask, and included a humanoid face with horns, a beard, and a hinged jaw which allowed the mouth to open and close.
The Ediacaran (/ˌiːdiˈækərən/; formerly Vendian) biota is a taxonomic period classification that consists of all life forms that were present on Earth during the Ediacaran Period (c. 635–538.8 Mya). These were enigmatic tubular and frond-shaped, mostly sessile, organisms. Trace fossils of these organisms have been found worldwide, and represent the earliest known complex multicellular organisms.
John Rykener, also known as Eleanor, was a 14th-century sex worker arrested in December 1394 for performing a sex act with John Britby, a man who was a former chaplain of the St Margaret Pattens church, in London's Cheapside while wearing female attire. Although historians tentatively link Rykener, who was male, to a prisoner of the same name, the only known facts of the sex worker's life come from an interrogation made by the mayor of London.
Norwich Market (also known as Norwich Provision Market) is an outdoor market consisting of around 200 stalls in central Norwich, England. Founded in the latter part of the 11th century to supply Norman merchants and settlers moving to the area following the Norman conquest of England, it replaced an earlier market a short distance away. It has been in operation on the present site for over 900 years.
Olive Elaine Morris (26 June 1952 – 12 July 1979) was a Jamaican-born British-based community leader and activist in the feminist, black nationalist, and squatters' rights campaigns of the 1970s. At the age of 17, she claimed she was assaulted by Metropolitan Police officers following an incident involving a Nigerian diplomat in Brixton, South London. She joined the British Black Panthers, becoming a Marxist–Leninist communist and a radical feminist.
Paul Palaiologos Tagaris (Greek: Παῦλος Παλαιολόγος Τάγαρις, c. 1320/1340 – after 1394) was a Byzantine Greek monk and impostor. A scion of the Tagaris family, Paul also claimed a somewhat dubious connection with the Palaiologos dynasty that ruled the Byzantine Empire at the time. He fled his marriage as a teenager and became a monk, but soon his fraudulent practices embroiled him in scandal.
The Royal baccarat scandal, also known as the Tranby Croft affair, was a British gambling scandal of the late 19th century involving the Prince of Wales—the future King Edward VII. The scandal started during a house party in September 1890, when Sir William Gordon-Cumming, a lieutenant colonel in the Scots Guards, was accused of cheating at baccarat.
In a protracted conflict during the Spanish colonization of the Americas, Spanish colonisers gradually incorporated the territory that became the modern country of Guatemala into the colonial Viceroyalty of New Spain. Before the conquest, this territory contained a number of competing Mesoamerican kingdoms, the majority of which were Maya.

The Basics of the Premier Leauge (TOP tier of English Football.)
A small post explaining basic aspects of the PL! I tried my best to cover as much as I could. If I miss anything/Or if I'm Incorrect, let me know!
-> How does it work?
Well, there are 20 teams in total. In the Prem, Every team plays each other twice. Once at a team's home stadium, and one time at the other teams home stadium. (Lets say, Man City vs Chelsea. They would play each other once at Stanford Bridge (Home Stadlum of Chelsea), and once at the Etihad (Home stadium of Man City).
So that makes... 38 Matches in a season!
In a match, Teams can get 3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, and None if they lose.
-> How do you win?
Simple, the team with the most points is awarded the PL trophy!
However, if 2 teams finish with the same number of points, then Goal diffrence is used to determine a winner!
Goal diffrence is the number of goals scored for through the entire season, minus the amount of goals conceded AGAINST your team.
-> Note: The Bottom 3 teams face what is known as Relegation, which is being demoted to the Championship, the second leauge of English football.
The top 4 Teams qualify to the UEFA Champions Leauge, which is a competition for Europes top football clubs to face each other!
5th (and I think 6th?) Qualify for the Europa leauge, which is a secondary Competition for Other Europe clubs to participate in (At a bit of a smaller level.) Note: Not 100% confident in this answer, so do your own reaserch with this if you wanna be sure!
---
-> What Players to follow?
Well, theres a lot to choose from! But here are a few of my personal favorites to watch.
Dominic Solanke (Bournmouth- he helped with a AMAZING comeback against Luton Town. from losing 3-0 to winning 3-4! Overall he's def shining this season)
Martin Odegaard (Arsenal- he's captianing them to a amazing and mabye even historic run in the Champions leauge so far. and I must give him that!)
Mohamed Salah (Liverpool- I don't think words describe how I love this guy. He's perhaps scored the most goals for Liverpool during our time. Overall he shows up for his team when they need him.)
Tumblr media
Of course, Any of the Liverpool players are worth watching. Our younger players such as Quansah, Danns, and Bradley are all SHINING this season and stepping up when senior players are Injured.
Alisson Becker and Caominh Kellher (Liverpool)
Our two amazing Goalkeepers, Alisson is one of the very few GKS to SCORE for liverpool. That should tell about how world-class he is by itself. Kelleher has also been amazing to step up when Ali is injured. Both of them are very good keepers i'll say.
---
-> Rivalries
Some of the popular rivalries you'll hear about between clubs are...
Manchester Rivalry (Man United vs Man City)
London Derby (Tottenham Hotspur vs Arsenal FC)
Merseyside Derby (Everton Vs Liverpool FC)
That's just to name a few, but overall if two clubs are in the same area of the uk, chances are they have a rivalrly more than not. or if they are locked in a title race! (Those teams are Liverpool, Man City, and Arsenal at the moment.)
@see-u-space-cow-boy hope that explains a few things! lmk if theres any more questions!

Footballers as pokemon trainers, pt4!!!
Today's edition: Rashford, Mbappe and Haaland!
tags: @addictivewhispering @liverpool-enjoyer @lonely-salamander
Marcus Rashford
I believe Rashford has a hard, yet laid-back approach to battling. He definitely uses his favorite first, not the "best" and he doesn't push his Pokemon to their limits, he just lets them play to their best. But he doesnt have mercy on his opponents, that's for sure.
Tumblr media
Houndoom
His starter. It's a devil dog (Man United) and Rashford actually has a dog that looks just like Houndoom. I also think it reminds me of how he plays, because he's just...powerful ig? Also it can mega evolve, which is alwas cool.
Tumblr media
2. Volcarona
Volcarona is an almost mythical Pokemon, and I feel like Rashford was approached by a Larvesta (baby form) when he was young, because it sensed his pure soul (lets not act like Marcus isn't one of the purest footballers out there) and joined his team. It's also a fire type, as well as it represents the Sun, much like how Ten Hag builds his team around Rashford and planets revolve around the sun.
Tumblr media
3. Delibird
And then Rashford just carries around this fucking thing. Because it's a cheerful giver.
Kylian Mbappe
One word: Speed. Mbappe plays for Speed and nothing else. His Pokemon are trained for speed as well. They're fast and that's all that matters to him. He likes them too I swear
Tumblr media
Squirtle
Yeah I had to. This is 100% his starter. France blue and gold, it's a turtle, it's a prominent Pokemon, and it's the fastest out of all turtle Pokemon. It learns Shell Smash, a move that doubles your speed and attack in return for halving defense. Which sounds like something Mbappe would do, let's be honest. I think this is legit perfect for him lol.
Tumblr media
2. Persian
A very speedy and expensive Pokemon. You know how supervillains are always petting a cat in their lap? Yeah that's Persian. I think it's funny to give this to football's biggest cartoon "supervillain".
Tumblr media
3. Jolteon
Mbappe definitely would own an Eeveelution. It's just such a...main character Pokemon to have? And Jolteon is very, very fast, just like him.
Erling Haaland
Attack. All out attack. Push your opponents to the ground and attack.
Tumblr media
Baxcalibur
A big buff attacking Pokemon with one strat only (Dragon Dance with no fear of burn because of Thermal Exchange) that's an Ice type from the mountains is the perfect starter for Erling. Baxcalibur is also my least favorite pseudo legendary so Haaland gets him because fuck haaland bro
Tumblr media
2. Mega Ampharos
Look at that hair.
Tumblr media
3. Garganacl
Haaland plays Minecraft. I love that. This is the minecraft blocks Pokemon.
