    They said: “Take us out for a legendary season and win your trophy with OM you deserve it the best 10 in the world.”
    Payet was a fan favourite at West Ham and his performances at the club from 2015 until 2017 saw him become a regular in the French national team.
    But he left the London Stadium under a cloud after a protracted transfer saga.
    Reflecting on his decision to leave the Hammers, Payet said he looks back on his time in claret and blue fondly and asked fans to forgive his decision to leave.
    He said: “I spent 18 months [at West Ham] full of emotions and excitement after Euro 2016 but no, I don’t have any regrets. It was a choice I made, a personal choice and a family-based choice as well.
    “Since I left West Ham I have stayed at Marseille, I haven’t gone to any other club and don’t intend on going to any other club so it wasn’t leaving for the sake of leaving.
    “It was a personal decision, a family decision and yeah, it was a pretty brutal break I suppose when I left, that’s true, but I hope over the course of the years West Ham fans have come to understand why I left.
    “I would certainly like and hope to think that.” More

    FANS are all saying the same thing after footage of Steven Gerrard’s first training session as Al-Ettifaq manager emerged.The former Aston Villa and Rangers manager appeared to be suffering communication problems as he ran his players through a training drill.

    “Tell me then!”

    Fans were quick to draw comparisons with Tony Adams’ disastrous stint in charge of Granada where he similarly failed to make himself understood.
    Adams was seen struggling to get his message across to his players in training and performing a “dance” to make himself understood.
    One fan said: “He’s giving Tony Adams vibes.”

    Another said: “It’s Tony Adams all over again.”
    A third fan said: “Tony Adams breathes a sigh of relief.”
    Gerrard agreed to take the reins at Al-Ettifaq after initially rejecting an offer from the Saudi side.
    And outside of bringing Gerrard in as manager, the club have not been splashing the clash like other Saudi sides.
    The Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia (PIF) only took over the top four sides in the league, namely Al-Ittihad, Al-Ahli, Al-Hilal and Al-Nassr.
    But it appears Ettifaq are prepared to back Gerrard after making him their statement signing.
    The club are nearing an agreement to bring in Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson.
    Henderson has reportedly already agreed personal terms on a deal that would see him earn £700,000-a-week and told Klopp he would like to leave.
    It is now up to Liverpool and Ettifaq to come to an agreement on a transfer fee. More

    How Brooke and Poca compare heading into their fight this weekend
    The winner will take on either 6AR6IE6 or Elle’s sister Emily Brooke in the final.
    But how do the pair stack up against one another heading into their bout in Ireland?
    Poca, 29, has four years on Brooke – but has two fewer boxing bouts to her name.
    Brooke has three wins and boasts a 100 per cent record.
    READ MORE IN BOXING
    She stopped Faith Ordway in her second contest, but the other two have gone to points against AJ Bunker and Ola Danielka.
    Poca also has a perfect record, albeit after just one boxing bout – which came in a decision victory over Daniella Helmsley in April.
    One major advantage Poca has is she is six inches taller than Brooke.
    But the OnlyFans star knows all to well what it is like being the smaller fighter.

    That’s because her last opponent, Danielka, dwarfed her by NINE INCHES.
    They are effectively the same weight, but Polka boasts a bigger Instagram following – 1.9 million compared with less than 800,000 for Brooke.
    But that popularity will do little for either fighter this weekend as they prepare to throw leather in the Irish capital. More

    Footballers always use this secret coded message when they want to flirt on Instagram, says stunning influencer

    FOOTBALLERS use coded messages to flirt with women they fancy online, a Spanish model has claimed.Raquel Reitx, who has over 500,000 followers on Instagram, says the athletes use the same tactic when trying to speak with her and others.

    Footballers will typically delete the flame emoji comment when they’re not approached for a chat, Reitx claimsCredit: https://www.instagram.com/raquelreitx/
    And she assumes it is something the footy stars have agreed upon.
    Reitx told El Podcast de Druni: “I reckon that in the dressing rooms they have openly agreed how to do it.
    “They all do the same thing. They send a ‘fire’ emoji, but they don’t react to the story.
    “They send it. If you don’t answer them, they delete it. Always the same.”

    She added that she believes there are a couple of reasons for the tactic.

    One would be that footballers don’t need to work too hard to get a response due to their celebrity status.
    And the other is that the fire emoji can be interpreted in a number of different ways and doesn’t necessarily give away their intentions.
    But Reitx says that she herself has never been with a footballer, and that she finds these attempts to chat on social media “uninteresting”.

    She commented: “I have never been one to get with people from social networks.
    “In fact, those who I’ve been with, I’ve met them before in person than on networks.
    “I’m not good at it. In addition, it is difficult for me to answer on WhatsApp, how difficult is it going to be for me to respond to direct messages.
    “I have never had anything with a footballer. They don’t attract my attention.
    “Especially with these uninteresting attempts to get women to talk to them. Not for me.”
