Football Daily | Trent Alexander-Arnold and the Anfield jeers of fans who feel jilted

Sign up now! Sign up now! Sign up now? Sign up now!During last week’s video in which Trent Alexander-Arnold revealed that he would be leaving Liverpool come season’s end, he referred to the “noise” surrounding his decision and hoped it would not drown out his team’s achievement in winning the Premier League title this season. And while his unsurprising news prompted even more unsurprising online wailing, hand-wringing and accusations of treachery, the perceived wisdom was that those who feel Alexander-Arnold has some sort of weird moral obligation to remain at Anfield until such time as Liverpool deem him surplus to their requirements were simply crazies on the internet. People who couldn’t handle being jilted for somebody better. And that match-going fans would respect the defender’s decision to move on to pastos nuevos and show their appreciation for all the happiness he has brought them in his years with the club.Re: Dominic Hodgson (Friday’s Football Daily letters). Many thanks to Liverpool for carrying out his suggestion to ‘provide Arsenal with a guard of honour twice’ in the second half on Sunday. Especially the defence performing their legendary ‘House of Bamboo’ routine for the Gunners first goal. An exceptional and timely touch of class” – Dan Coleman.After years of watching mindless stat-padding possession-based, risk-averse football, a genuine doff of the cap to Hansi Flick and the Barça players for their throwback to the days of utter chaos. First the Bigger Cup semi-final first leg, then the second leg and now El Clásico” – Noble Francis.I see that among the explanatory drivel Newcastle United offered to justify redesigning their club badge (Friday’s News, Bits and Bobs, full email edition) was the sentence: ‘Its intricate design doesn’t always translate well in today’s digital world. And it’s difficult to reproduce it clearly and consistently.’ If the aim of the new badge is to minimise intricacy and increase ease of reproduction, can I suggest they pursue it to the ultimate digital black-and-white design: a QR code” – Ken Muir [who also went the distance in producing his own one that we couldn’t quite get to translate into this newsletter – Football Daily Ed].This is an extract from our daily football email … Football Daily.
