Emirates stadium snub
The UK and Ireland have had their bid to host the 2028 Euros confirmed today.
But some fans have raised questions over why some of the most famous venues in English football have been rejected from hosting games in the esteemed tournament.
Anfield and Stamford Bridge are missing out due to the fact that their respective pitch sizes do not meet UEFA regulations for international tournaments.
Meanwhile, Arsenal's Emirates was rejected in place of Tottenham's brand new arena as the capital's chosen site – alongside Wembley.
And Manchester United's iconic Old Trafford will not be included after the owners discussed plans to renovate the stadium in the off-season with the FA.
The Glazers are yet to conclude their strategic review as they wrangle over the sale of the club to either Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al-Thani or Sir Jim Ratcliffe.

G-really funny moment
Arsenal ace Ben White appeared to be laughing at Manchester City star Jack Grealish following a melee at the end of Sunday's Premier League clash at the Emirates.
Several City stars were involved in tussles with the Gunners' bench as they made their way towards the tunnel.
Grealish was involved in an altercation with the home side's players and staff and had to be dragged away by security personnel.
White appeared to laugh in reaction to his England team-mate's behaviour as the incensedwinger headed down the tunnel.
It was not entirely clear what tickled the versatile defender, but he clearly found something amusing and could not help but snigger to himself as the situation unfolded.

Shak's a fan
Shakira has taken another brazen swipe at her ex-boyfriend Gerard Pique by showing her support for Arsenal on social media after fans remixed her Waka Waka hit.
The pop star took to Instagram to send her encouragement to the Gunners during a heated Premier League match against Bournemouth.
Gooners remixed the hot hit to craft a new chant for the north Londoners' latest signing, Kai Havertz.
The chant swept through the Vitality Stadium during Arsenal's 4-0 triumph, earning Shakira's endorsement.
The 46-year-old took to Instagram to share a video on her story of the cheering and chanting fans while captioning the post "Go Arsenal!"

More on bust-up
Manchester City sources revealed why Kyle Walker was unhappy with Arsenal's set-piece coach Nicolas Jover.
City won the two games against the Gunners in February and April to take a huge advantage in the Premier League title race last season.
Yet Jover – who spent two years working under Pep Guardiola at the Etihad – stood with his hands behind his back at the end of those games.
The coach made it clear he would not be shaking hands with anyone from City back then – yet he was only too keen to do so after an Arsenal win.
Walker felt this was unacceptable and told his team-mates in the dressing room afterwards that it was the reason behind his angry reaction.

Heated bust-up explained
The heated touchline row between Manchester City stars Erling Haaland as well as Kyle Walker and the Arsenal bench was caused by a handshake.
The Gunners' set-piece coach Nicolas Jover – who used to work at City – sought out Walker after the final whistle on Sunday after the North Londoners’ 1-0 victory and offered his hand.
The Citizens' captain reacted angrily because Jover had refused to shake hands with his former pals at Man City after BOTH Premier League games against his current team last season.
A largely forgettable game between the title rivals on Sunday exploded as the teams left the pitch at the end with Walker squaring up to the 41-year-old coach near the tunnel.
Haaland then waded in to keep the pair apart before other players and backroom staff also piled in.

The star striker replied: "I don't know, I didn't think too much about it."
While the Norway international was still giving his answer, the reporter interjected by asking: "Is that the right mindset?"
Haaland finished his answer by saying City would aim to play their own game.

Piers pressure for Mikel's Gunners
Piers Morgan has revealed the changes he thinks should be made for Arsenal to be title challengers.
The TalkTV star said: “I’m not convinced by [David] Raya in goal, I think he was very jittery for much of the game.

Gunner do it
Piers Morgan believes Mikel Arteta must make two key changes in order to make Arsenal title winners.
Aaron Ramsdale has been Arsenal’s No.1 goalkeeper for the past two seasons but he has lost his spot to on-loan David Raya over recent weeks.
And that would be the first thing that Morgan would sort, as he told TalkSPORT: “I think we’ve still got issues.
“I’m not convinced by [David] Raya in goal, I think he was very jittery for much of the game.
“I don’t think he’s an upgrade on what I’ve seen so far of [Aaron] Ramsdale who must be feeling sick as a pig sitting on the bench every day watching this stuff.”
