Former footballers Jamie Carragher and Rio Ferdinand have engaged in a heated Twitter feud over their differing opinions on players signing for clubs in Saudi Arabia.

Carragher has been critical of players joining clubs in Saudi Arabia, while Ferdinand defended the move and called out Carragher’s silence on the matter when his former teammate Steven Gerrard joined Al-Ettifaq as manager.

The exchange escalated as Carragher accused Ferdinand of refusing to criticize his “paymaster” in Qatar, referring to his alleged rejection of hosting the winter World Cup opening match.

Ferdinand denied the claim and emphasized his acceptance of different cultures, pointing out that other leagues, including the Premier League, have also attracted top talent from other leagues.

So Ferdinand said in a social media video: “Jamie. Jamie Carragher. Where are you, man?

“I heard a lot of talk, a lot of negativity about Saudi. Oh, Bernardo Silva, I can’t believe it. It’s a disgrace, it needs investigating, this league, etc.

“Steven Gerrard’s gone. You used to carry his boots and his bag at Anfield to games.

“Your boy’s gone over there and I’ve not heard a peep out of you. I’ve not heard how disappointed you are.

“I want to see him say, ‘I can’t believe Stevie’s gone there’. I’m actually buzzing for any of the guys that have gone out to Saudi.

“Because it’s Saudi, people are going mad, but all these other countries and leagues over the years have done exactly the same thing.”

It sparked a Twitter feud between the pair, who spent years rivaling on the pitch for Liverpool and Manchester United.

Carragher responded: “Never criticized Silva, Benzema, Neves or SG, I don’t like Saudi trying to buy football like they have Golf.

“I knew you’d be all over it @rioferdy5 like you were in Qatar!
Thats why you refused to do the opening game for @BBCMOTD didn’t want to criticise your paymaster!”

Ferdinand then denied ever being approached to host the winter World Cup opening match, where Gary Lineker criticised the Qatari hosts.

He replied: “Fake news @Carra23 I’m a man that embraces all cultures – join the club, no need to fabricate James !

“I was never asked to do the opener. I never saw uproar from you and others when the PL, serie A, PSG, Barca, RM, Russia etc we’re plucking the best talent from other leagues…keep the same energy!!”

Carrahger wrote back: “I wasn’t fabricating I was told that by a few people, probably what happened with you over the Qataris buying Man United a few weeks ago!

“If you think the Saudi league buying players is the same as the other leagues we will have to disagree!!”

Ferdinan hit back: “The facts are…. You disrespected the league / country / culture but kept (quiet) when ur 2 boys Stevie / Fowler went 10 days later.”

Ending the argument, Carragher posted: “You’re going back to tweet one! You’re so desperate for a gig out there.”

JUST IN! Vet center sue Chelsea's £2bn stadium redevelopment (Details)

Military veterans have reportedly taken legal action to halt Chelsea’s £2 billion redevelopment of Stamford Bridge.

The club’s plans got approval in July after offering £50 million for the site adjacent to Stamford Bridge, where approximately 100 military veterans and their widows reside.

The veterans, angered by the prospect of being displaced, have escalated their efforts to thwart the sale.

They have sought an injunction to prevent the Stoll Charity trustees, who oversee the apartment block, from selling the property to Chelsea.

The veterans’ argument centers on how the sale would negatively impact the local community and harm residents, including vulnerable individuals who have served their country.

One resident, Matthew Bignell, 36, expressed his support for the injunction and his intention to stay in his home to show solidarity with fellow tenants.

Bignell stated that residents are prepared to face eviction rather than leave voluntarily.

This legal action by veterans is a setback for Chelsea owner Todd Boehly, who envisioned a significant stadium redevelopment that would increase capacity from 42,000 to 55,000.

It is another challenge following the club’s previous proposal to move to Battersea Power Station in 2012, which faced fan opposition and ultimately collapsed.

The host of the Manchester United star has urged Jadon Sancho to put an end to his feud with Erik ten Hag and issue an apology.

This comes after reports that the England winger has been banned from the club’s first-team facilities.

The dispute between Sancho and Ten Hag began on September 3 when the manager accused Sancho of inadequate training, leading to his exclusion from the matchday squad against Arsenal.

Sancho responded on social media, describing himself as a “scapegoat” and implying that Ten Hag was being dishonest.

Sancho has not played for the club since and was banned from first-team training. However, some teammates, including Marcus Rashford, Luke Shaw, and former captain Harry Maguire, have tried to intervene and encouraged Sancho to apologize to the manager.

They believe that apologizing is the best way to resolve the situation and get Sancho back on the pitch.

They sympathize with his feelings but recognize that some of his social media posts went too far. Sancho has been training and eating with academy players, but there’s no set date for his return to the first team.

While Ten Hag is reportedly willing to welcome Sancho back, it’s contingent on the winger issuing an apology. A source emphasized that resolving the situation hinges on Sancho taking this step, as the coach’s stance is firm.

During the match, Carragher sarcastically applauded a save made by Ramsdale’s replacement, David Raya:

“I thought it was like the Oscars, you know when someone loses the Oscar and they start clapping and smiling for the other person. I was laughing when I saw that.

“He’s absolutely devastated with that really.”

Ramsdale’s father expressed his displeasure with Carragher’s comments, highlighting the importance of supporting players rather than mocking them.

After the match, father Nick Ramsdale replied to a Tweet about Carragher’s comments:

“You are a Disgrace!! Show some class!! My lad has.”
