People who have come to the United Kingdom legally, played by the rules and made it their home do not need to “go home”. This is their home.

I've written to Kemi Badenoch to give her the chance to reject these divisive calls from her frontbencher Katie Lam.

Alexander Isak has had just one shot on target for Liverpool in the Premier League and he's missed four big chances. The Reds, at the minute, are failing their £125m signing but it'll click soon. Words for @fotmob.com. www.fotmob.com/en-GB/topnew...

Alexander Isak’s struggle to get going part of a wider issue at Liverpool

Liverpool’s dream summer transfer window has turned into a bit of a nightmare.

Even if it hurts me seeing us not be at our best, I'd rather have a match on than an international break.

Steve Nicol became a Red on 22 October 1981, signing from Ayr United for £300,000 - that was quite a lot of money for a 19-year-old back then. But it paid back. Liverpool managers could rely on Steve as he made 468 appearances between 1981 and 1994.
Great and underrated.

A fantasy novel. Part of 14 book series I think. Set in a fictional fantasy world. Exploring the nature of destiny versus free will,
the corrosive nature of power as well as hope and sacrifice. It has interesting mythical themes of reincarnation and an interesting magic system

Flo isn't great defensively. Even up top

Midfield a bit exposed by playing two attacking midfielders. I know Szobo does a decent job as no.8, but still

Barcelona-Villarreal in Miami is off for now.

Official statement: “Relevent has informed LALIGA of the need to postpone the planned match ... Given the current uncertainty in Spain, there is insufficient time to properly execute an event of this scale."

That's an interesting perspective from a fan of another team and you are right IMO

Glad you are okay. I was wondering as you posted something a few days ago as you were having a bad day with your health? So I was wondering if you were okay today. Sorry if it's a bit personal. 😬

I'm fine, thank u
