Harry Redknapp opens up on… Frank Lampard…“He wants to be as big a success as a manager as he was as a player. Frank would be a perfect candidate to be England manager.” On Michael Carrick... “Like Frank, he has that steely determination. The problem with Man United is well documented. The players are not good enough.” On young footballers… “Some kids have achieved nothing - and they're getting 50 grand a week.” On missing out on the England job in 2012… “If I couldn't have won something with that group of players, I'd have been very disappointed because we had some fantastic players. Rooney, Gerrard, Lampard, Ferdinand.” On West Ham’s move to the London Stadium… “The atmosphere at Upton Park was second to none. When that crowd sung ‘I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles’, the atmosphere was intimidating, incredible. That's gone. It's not the club that I knew. The fans deserve better than what they’re getting now.” On Spurs… “They've got a really powerful, strong squad. I like De Zerbi. I think they’ll finish top six.” On recording a "Sky Blue Line" message for Lampard… “Frank, just keep doing what you're doing. If the players can work as hard as you did as a player every day on the training ground, you can't be anything but successful.” Exclusive interview @FourFourTwo fourfourtwo.com/person/coach…

Sat down with Sir Kenny Dalglish for an hour to chat about his life for @FourFourTwo, via a spell as a joiner, a debut at 14-0 up and his fear of playing at Anfield for the first time. He also explains why Andy Robertson should retire – immediately... fourfourtwo.com/team/new-iss…

Brighton vs Crystal Palace on Sunday, with both teams in European action before that. Whisper it, but these arch-rivals can learn something from each other @FourFourTwo fourfourtwo.com/person/playe…

“Without Beckham, there's probably no MLS. That said, MLS would not be the global phenomenon and not be on the hearts and minds of just about anybody in the world without Messi." Don Garber interview @FourFourTwo. And he'd love Kane to join one day. fourfourtwo.com/person/mls-c…

Liverpool's greatest ever player should have a league title to his name, and would have if Man City hadn't cheated the system. For @FourFourTwo on Gerrard's legacy and how Klopp's era should now be viewed differently. fourfourtwo.com/team/that-wa…

Jude Bellingham was written off before the World Cup, but proved his point on the biggest stage. Did Tuchel's tough love get more out of him, and will that work all the way to the Euros? Feature on the Real Madrid star in the new @FourFourTwo, out now. fourfourtwo.com/team/new-iss…

I built a game for @FourFourTwo – all you have to do is select an XI that has scored 442 goals in Premier League history. Lot of work went into this: should you keep you occupied for the long international break (or at the very least, your lunch break) fourfourtwo.com/quiz/442goal…

I'm not a one trick pony, y'know. Yes, I spend a lot of time writing about retro football but I have range. Check this piece that I've written for @fourfourtwo for proof. It's about why we should bring back the Cup Winners' Cup. Okay, I might be a one trick pony, but it's a bloody good trick. fourfourtwo.com/competition/…
