News about James Milner

Liverpool's academy follows a stringent set of rules for its young players, as shown by academy director Alex Inglethorpe. These policies include a salary ceiling, a peculiar car policy, and the temporary confiscation of phones during training hours. Player salaries are limited to £50,000 a year as a result of these laws. In addition, a 'car clause' requires that players' vehicles must not exceed a 1.3 litre engine capacity.

Two ancient rivals clash once more. Mighty founders of the Football League with their rich pasts and whelming recent histories, as well as an intricate storyline that made their match the most controversial of all top-flight fixtures. They are in Liverpool today for the 212th time in all, and their records are so close that they barely have four victories and three goals to distinguish them over 135 years. They have 34 major trophies between them, with at least one in each decade from the beginning of organised football to the start of this millennium, minus the 1940s when war intervened.

This match between two of the Premier League's most awaited teams was not particularly exciting, but it did have enough talking points to warrant it. James Milner made his 632nd appearance in the Premier League. Will he catch Gareth Barry and beat his record? Meanwhile, Brighton's goalkeeper earned its first clean sheet since May, while fans were punished by Storm Henk's machinations both before and during the game...

After taking the field against West Ham on Tuesday, James Milner joined Manchester United legend Ryan Giggs in second on the Premier League's all-time appearances list. Milner has been playing in every single season since 2002-03, when he made his debut for Leeds United aged just 16 under Terry Venables. Following two with Manchester City, the former England international won the competition on three occasions so far, most recently with Liverpool in 2019-20.

James Milner, according to Roberto De Zerbi, has the passion, attitude, and energy to keep playing until he becomes the Premier League's all-time record holder. Milner, who turns 38 on Thursday, will face Gareth Barry's tally of 652 appearances against West Ham and leapfrogs' 632 on 632. His Brighton contract comes to an end in the summer, but the agreement does include an option for an additional 12 months, which, if activated, could allow Milner the opportunity to smash Barry's record.

MATT BARLOW, THE AMEX STADIUM : They will treasure 2023 in Brighton. They reached new heights last year, finishing sixth and heading to Marseille and Amsterdam. They partied into the early hours with Fat Boy Slim in Athens in the early hours. Seagulls supporters may have wished the year didn't come as they coasted into a four-goal lead against Tottenham Hotspur. Nonetheless, by the time the visitors reduced the deficit to spread anxiety through nine minutes of stoppage time, everyone must have been drained and ready for a lie-down. Two penalties were correctly converted as ever by Joao Pedro, a popular goal by fit-against Pervis Estupinan, and then a late wobble.

JAMES SHARPE AT THE AMEX STADIUM: Brighton defeated Tottenham 4-2 on Thursday night, beating Tottenham on Thursday night as the Seagulls revolted during a fiery night at the Amex. After Jack Hinshelwood, Perpetunian, and Joao Pedro discovered the back of the net, Roberto De Zerbi's team came out on top during the six-goal thriller. Tottenham attempted to stage a late comeback through Alejo Veliz and Ben Davies, but it was too little, too late for Ange Postecolou's side.

Jamie Carragher has confirmed that Liverpool are surpassing his hopes this season, but there are concerns that they will have enough to lift the Premier League crown. Liverpool changed their squad over the summer, with the likes of Jordan Henderson, James Milner, Fabinho, and Roberto Firmino all leaving the club, while Dominik Szoboszlai, Wataru Endo and Ryan Gravenberch joining Anfield. The Reds have stepped back into title contention this time around after finishing fifth last season, only one point behind leaders Arsenal.

IAN LADYMAN AT ANFIELD: In their draw against Liverpool, only Manchester United were encouraged on the afternoon. A number of the questions they were asked before were answered by Erik ten Hag's players. Liverpool, for all their excellence, has only won the Premier League once. There are reasons for this, and Manchester City is the most notable one. Nonetheless, it is an anomaly that will follow them into the post-Klopp years if they do not have to add to the name they won in the Covid-decimated season of 2019/20.

After a summer overhaul, the pundit, who was formerly a Liverpool player, has been put back by how quickly Klopp has positioned the Reds as title challengers. Jordan Henderson, Fabinho, and Roberto Firmino were all poached by Saudi Arabian clubs, but others were denied free transfers, such as James Milner. Dominik Szoboszlai, Ryan Gravenberch, Alexis Mac Allister, and Wataru Endo have all revived the midfield, and Redknapp expressed his admiration.

HORSE POWER: Rivals: They make the sport such a compelling spectacle. It's what it's all about, isn't it?Pick a side, nail your colors to the mast, and invest yourself emotionally as it pans out. Nobody watches the Wimbledon final and says they aren't bothered who wins; you don't spend the last day of a major ambivalent about which golfer will come out top. If you're lucky enough to see greatness being tested to the limit - or not - even better when old adversaries clash. Rivalries persist. It's why we use Seb Coe and Steve Ovett as reference points 43 years after their fiasco in the Moscow Olympics for what sport should be: pushing yourself to the limit, fighting back, and never shirking a challenge.

After having announced his retirement from international football, James Milner has revealed why he decided against an England recall from Gareth Southgate in 2016. After conversations with then-manager Sam Allardyce, who had promised him he would be a back-up player in the squad, the Brighton midfielder, who had amassed 61 England caps throughout his career, decided to step away from international football in 2016. Milner played just three minutes at the tournament after the 37-year-old was part of England's Euro 2016 squad, which was knocked out of the tournament in the round of 16 by Iceland.

James Milner has slammed a former Liverpool youth teammate for their attitude before lauding the unidentified actor for turning it around. After leaving the Reds after an eight-year suspension where he made 332 appearances, the midfielder, who can also fill in at full back, joined Brighton in the summer. Despite being 37, he is still playing in the Premier League 21 years after his top flight debut.

During his eight-year Liverpool career, James Milner has admitted that Jurgen Klopp had a tumultuous chat with him in the dressing room. Milner left the Reds in the summer after a trophy-laden spell, winning the Champions League, Premier League, FA Cup, and Carabao Cup on his time on Merseyside. Klopp was largely prepared to receive feedback from players during his time at the club, according to the 37-year-old, who served as Liverpool's vice captain.

MATT BARLOW IN ATHENS: Roberto De Zerbi's diplomatic skills were certainly enhanced by simmering tensions between the British and Greek governments over the Elgin Marbles. The Brighton boss arrived in Athens for a critical Europa League match against AEK, who says he trusted Premier League referees only after saying he does not like 80% of them. I believe in the people,' De Zerbi said.

Trent Alexander-Arnold: Trent Alexander-Arnold: Trent Alexander-Arnold must have felt he's spent his entire career trying to silence critics, so it was an instinctive reaction to celebrate Saturday's equalizer by gesturing 'Ssshh...' directly in front of the Manchester City supporters. It's likely that it's a sign of his increasing optimism that he didn't even try to mask the dramatic finger-to-the-lips gesture that followed. 'It's always good to celebrate in front of away (opposition) supporters,' he said joking about it. 'You get to see the faces, and it's funny.'

Even Jurgen Klopp wasn't sure how Liverpool would react after losing their two main dressing room voices, Jordan Henderson and James Milner, in the summer. So far, so good. Liverpool hasn't lacked leadership at all this season, with a winnable match at Luton on Sunday to keep the heat on. Virgil van Dijk has been wearing the armband for the rest of his life, assisted by his deputy Trent Alexander-Arnold.

FINAL SHARPE: When you're deciding on a trainee to replace Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola, the king of overthinking ambiguous and spectacular tactical tactics, it will be tempting to do something strange. Roberto de Zerbi started James Milner, 37, right-back for Brighton against City winger Jeremy Doku, one of the Premier League's fastest players, on cue. As you might have predicted, the competition went as planned. Doku was on the ball at any opportunity, and he tore Milner to shreds, and the city was stunned. Doku only took six minutes to set up City's first goal from that region, while Milner was disqualified at halftime.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has shared more of his departure from Liverpool this summer, revealing that he was never told he would not be getting a new deal until days before his departure was announced. After losing his job at Anfield for six years at the end of last season, the 30-year-old retired, and the fans bid him farewell. Oxlade-Chamberlain's departure was hardly unexpected considering he made just nine top flight appearances this season, but the England international has said that manger Jurgen Klopp never asked him about his future during the final months of his stay on Merseyside.

Following a brief debut off the bench at Burnley on Tuesday night, Sofyan Amrabat could make his first Old Trafford appearance against Manchester United in Tuesday night's Carabao Cup match against Crystal Palace, but it's been revealed that the Moroccan was only hours away from becoming a Liverpool player this summer. Jurgen Klopp said to have called the 27-year-old midfielder specifically to try and convince him to move to Anfield from Fiorentina to help with the missing holes left by Jordan Henderson, Fabinho, and James Milner. Klopp was a whisker away from winning his man until a last-minute snuggling contract, and Liverpool opted Ryan Gravenberch from Bayern Munich for £34.2 million instead.

Inside A PREMIER LEAGUE CLUB's Nick Harris remained unrivalled access to Brighton and Hove Albion during the club's historic week, which saw them defeat Manchester United and play their first-ever European game. Nowhere was off limits as the Seagulls lifted the lid on an operation that took them from a newly promoted squad to a club that is challenging English football's top flight, from the chef to the board room to the dressing room. Mail Sport reveals how Roberto De Zerbi's side persisted each day as they pummelled United at Old Trafford and welcome AEK Athens to the south coast.

Liverpool made their first Europa League appearance since being in the final seven years ago. As the Reds return from a disappointing previous season, no one who appeared in the final five years ago remains a member of the first-team that has travelled to Vienna. Mail Sport looks at where Liverpool's last Europa League team is now located.

After Liverpool's proposed transfer for midfielder Andre fell through this summer, Fluminense president Mario Bittencourt has revealed the details of his discussion. In the newest transfer window, the Reds expressed interest in Andre but were unable to reach an agreement due to the Brazilian club's inability to lose the 22-year-old during the Copa Libertadores. Bittencourt has now reported that Liverpool did reach out to him regarding a potential transfer, but that wasn't right for Fluminense.

Premier League clubs will now have to make do with their current squads until January as the high-intensity drama of the transfer window begins to fade. The big boys in the division have been bolstered, the middle of the road sides have increased, and the teams that were supposed to face it out at the top of the table have also been increased. Transfers can make or break a team's fate during this 38-game marathon, with some teams wishing they didn't get a big contract because of the line, or ecstatic that their brand-new signing has come well. Supporters of each Premier League team will have their own minds already made up about their activity, but how does Mail Sport rank your team's dealings? Here are our A-E transfer ratings...
