Webber: for some players it is ‘potentially jail or something else’
Raheem Sterling among the players Webber listed
Stuart Webber, the former Norwich sporting director, has been accused of “racial profiling” and “lazy stereotyping” after suggesting a group of black footballers he worked with might have ended up in jail had they not forged careers in the game.
In an interview with Norfolk local newspaper the Pink Un, Webber, who has also been the sporting director at Huddersfield and worked as head of recruitment at Liverpool, said: “We want to help the guys who really need it, not the ones w ..read more

Winger, who like Raheem Sterling grew up in Wembley, could be in the Premier League next season even if his club are not promoted
When Norwich last played Manchester City in the Premier League, in February 2022, Jonathan Rowe sought out Raheem Sterling in the tunnel. “I showed him where I was from, and it turned out we had a lot of ‘mutuals’,” Rowe says.
Like Sterling, Rowe grew up in the shadow of Wembley Stadium and he wanted to pay his respects to his neighbourhood’s most famous son. “He’s the person that everyone looks to as someone that made a way in my area,” Rowe says. “He’s set the wav ..read more

George Elokobi inspires Maidstone while Tottenham’s forwards fail to fire in loss against Manchester City
Eight of the 20-man squad selected by Jürgen Klopp against Norwich were graduates of Liverpool’s academy. One of those, James McConnell, was making his first start for the senior team. The 19-year-old from Newcastle slotted in front of the defence, sitting behind Curtis Jones and Ryan Gravenberch. While progressing through the academy, having joined aged 15 from Sunderland, McConnell was a more attacking midfielder and his eye for an assist could be seen when he saw Jones in space at the b ..read more

Jürgen Klopp raised a smile after You’ll Never Walk Alone with more fans than usual waiting for him in the players’ car park
“I feel the same way as when Bill Shankly left, I am devastated,” Ken Buckley, a Liverpool season-ticket holder for 50 years, says of Jürgen Klopp’s impending exit. “It is hard to take in, it really is. It is like losing a family member.”

Jürgen Klopp’s long farewell began with a comfortable victory at Anfield as Liverpool maintained their hopes of a quadruple
How do we feel about draws taking place before all the teams have played? Personally, I don’t like it. It adds a bit of narrative, I suppose, but somehow it feels a little disrespectful. To what or to whom I’m not sure, but something doesn’t quite feel right.
Am I making a mountain out of a molehill ..read more

Maidstone magic, Black County bragging rights, and Barkley and Porro putting boots into their former clubs
In an era when it seems there is a strange appetite to diminish cup competitions at every opportunity, it was heartening to listen to the Bristol City striker Tommy Conway discuss what it meant to him to score the goal that edged out West Ham in their FA Cup third-round replay. Conway was a fan in the Lansdown Stand the night his boyhood club beat Manchester United in the Carabao Cup in 2017 and seven years on it was his goal that earned another tie against Premier League opposition. Seb ..read more

Leeds climbed to within two points of the Championship’s automatic promotion places with a 1-0 win against Norwich at Elland Road.
Patrick Bamford scored the game’s solitary goal with a thumping first-half header and that was enough for Leeds to secure their fifth successive win in all competitions and keep the pressure on their promotion rivals. Norwich were not without chances – Gabriel Sara’s first-half effort was the best of them – but they slipped to their first defeat in six games and failed to climb into the playoff places ..read more

3-1 victory breaks 103-year-old Southampton record
Norwich secure hard-fought 2-0 win over West Brom
Russell Martin has warned his players that Southampton’s new unbeaten club record will not carry as much weight if the club fails to return to the Premier League. Southampton broke a 103-year-old club record by extending their unbeaten run to 21 games with a 3-1 victory at Martin’s old club Swansea, lifting them to second place in the Championship, above Ipswich on goal difference.
First-half goals from Che Adams, Will Smallbone and Flynn Downes – his first for Saints coming on his 25th birt ..read more
