🚨 Liverpool are getting closer to signing Marc Guehi. They are in talks with Crystal Palace and the fee is likely to be in the region of £35m. This is the kind of transfer that could rapidly accelerate as discussions have been progressing smoothly

Here we go. When did I do that then?

Dominic King @dominickingdm.bsky.social · Aug 12

I had written on Saturday morning that Jack was getting closer to signing, Dr John. DM has played a blinder to get it over the line in the subsequent 48 hours. Brilliant signing.

Haven’t called anyone out for a straightener for ages, Mister Agreeable. I’m a lover, not a fighter. I do have to work quite a bit but let’s not fall out this early in the morning, this early in the week 😮‍💨

Good morning Craig, it was great to see you too. Thanks ever so much for your generosity of time - it was a pleasure talking 🙌🏻 Enjoy it today and I hope everything goes smoothly

Genuinely, I’d love to but I’m going to be at Aintree until 7pm. I might be doing the Ipswich game, if you are in the taxi club for that I’ll happily buy you a pint. I know people have an idea about me, Baz, but i’m not like that at all 🤝

Dominic King @dominickingdm.bsky.social · Apr 5

I’m trying to do my best to reply to people. That’s what you have to do - front up.
I’m also trying to work at Aintree, I can’t keep up with things, so forgive me. I’m not playing dumb on anything. I’ve told you, I stand by the comment. Seriously, what more do you want me to do or say to you?

Dominic King @dominickingdm.bsky.social · Apr 5

Come off it, Mike. I’m not playing dumb on anything and for the one millionth time, I know precisely why people take issue.
If we want to be pedantic, I said it was “a coward’s tackle”. The Arsenal game kicks off in 9 minutes. Channel your energy into that.

Dominic King @dominickingdm.bsky.social · Apr 5

Dale, I’ve reported on Everton for 20 years and it’s been a privilege. I have made many friends, covered loads of memorable games and all my mates are Blues. You’re game kicks off in 13 minutes concentrate on that rather wasting your time on someone like me.

Dominic King @dominickingdm.bsky.social · Apr 5

If I’m a shithouse, it’s a bit odd saying it on a public platform isn’t it? One in our profession. Don’t write anything you wouldn’t say to a person if they pulled you up.
Tell you what, if you’re having a pint somewhere this evening, do you want me to buy you one and we’ll talk about it further?

It was deleted because the main account’s post was deleted, so you couldn’t listen to the full discussion. If you want to listen to it, it’s on the podcast.
You’ve told me Everton are aware of it, I’ve told you I know. What do you want me to say?
The match kicks-off in 30 minutes. Go and enjoy it

Dominic King @dominickingdm.bsky.social · Apr 5

I’m just checking, though, that you’re saying it’s ok for people to abuse me because I’ve called out a woeful tackle?
I said to someone last night, I’ve called out Liverpool tackles but you won’t want to listen to that either. I’m being polite, I’m replying to you. I’ll let you enjoy your day.

Dominic King @dominickingdm.bsky.social · Apr 5

No, I’m not crying about a pile on. The people who said that to James and his family are the lowest of the low. It’s totally unacceptable.
The problem, Ed, is that on a platform like this, you have your view, you don’t like me, so you want listen to anything I say in reply.

5

Dominic King @dominickingdm.bsky.social · Apr 5

No. There is another question in another reply.

1

Dominic King @dominickingdm.bsky.social · Apr 5

Or, let me guess, is it because everyone knows I’m a Liverpudlian and it’s been a while since there has been a good pile on and this is the perfect opportunity to do it?
I know the club know about it. I’ve said it and it’s been published. Am I the one who is in the wrong?

Dominic King @dominickingdm.bsky.social · Apr 5

Hello Baz, lovely to hear from you on a different platform. As you can imagine, I’m getting lots of good wishes on all kinds of socials so it’s taking me time to reply. Let me know why you are angry, if you wouldn’t mind. Is it the word? Or do you think the reaction to the tackle is over the top?
