Been a few players over the years who have just missed their peak when at the club, the likes of Babbel and Litmanen spring to mind, but this fella was the one I'd have enjoyed the most, an absolute artist #LFC

Been fortunate to change my devices recently, S25 has replaced the larger S24 Ultra, love the smaller phone, like the old days 🤣 Bought a S11 Ultra 14.6 inch tablet with keyboard case which integrates perfectly with the phone. Finally a Garmin Fenix 8 51mm watch which is perfection

Why would any Liverpool fan care what Alan Shearer thinks about anything that involves his club, Newcastle. It's the same with all the ex Utd pundits and ex Arsenal players who spout shite about us to appeal to their clubs fan base #LFC

Alan Shearer slams Alexander Isak with damning verdict on £125m Liverpool star

Alexander Isak's failed to make much of a mark at Anfield since completing a British record £125million move to Liverpool from Newcastle United, and Alan Shearer has wasted no time in calling him out

Another day, another triumph for privatization! A reminder that Starmer thinks this is the best way to supply us with energy and has no intention of renationalizing the utilities.

If they get their message out to their base it will believe it, control the media, control stupid people's minds

The GOP that gave us the Jan 6 terrorist attack and then pardoned the terrorists is calling the No Kings rally a pro-terrorist rally. These are despicable people.

U.S. AG Pam Bondi has basically said anyone visiting the US is subject to arrest and incarceration at any point, if law officials deem the individual a “threat”.

Bang goes the rest of the international tourism trade!

I see loads of clips on X from accounts that show Liverpool in the 70's and 80's when I most enjoyed football, a time when sports science and the use of statistics hadn't developed levels of fitness and tactics that have increasingly stifled what I most loved about the game #football

Oliver Kay @oliverkay.bsky.social · 11h

So many people claimed to be bored by Guardiola-inspired possession football in Prem Lge — despite 📈 in no of goals.

This season? More direct play, set-piece goals up, loooong delays at corners, long throws galore — total goals significantly 📉.

Thrilling it ain’t

Is this the football you want?

Those who would accuse Pep Guardiola of sucking the fun and creativity out of the game should be careful what they wish for

Really important piece by @philippeauclair.bsky.social on how, even as Premier League clubs are supposed to be disengaging from Asian-facing bookies, they're lowering their standards to get every last drop of dubious cash.

Premier League clubs turn to hidden gambling partners to beat sponsorship ban

Aston Villa, Chelsea, Leeds and Nottingham Forest failed to respond to questions sent by the Guardian, while Sunderland refused to comment

Haven't watched any of the internationals during the first two autumn breaks, I've no interest at all, but can't wait to get back to Anfield on Sunday for one of the biggest games of the season #LFC

Well done, but I'd pretty much ignore BMI, my target weight would be about 4kgs less than when I was a pretty fit 32yo who'd just run a sub 40 min 10k, I'm now 61 🤣

All those years of attacking ‘the Brexit deal’ rather than Brexit itself have helped only Farage. It was always Brexit.

So let's just carry on with the madness because the lunatics in a few key constituencies might get a tit on if we had another referendum

Brexit has been destructive to our economy, and has cost us £140 BILLIONS already.

The sad thing is he will never win or even compete in Farage's race to the bottom, he's just destroying a viable party and splitting the centre left/left vote

It's hilarious, most of them can't even string a sentence together, but sadly another example of Starmer's Labour pandering to Farage's base

Dave Vetter @davidrvetter.bsky.social · 2d

I will bet my bike that close to zero of the British racists that this law is pandering to could pass A-level English.

Migrants will be required to pass A Level standard of English

Migrants will be required to pass tough new English language requirements under a law introduced in Parliament today.

Stop trying to over-intellectualise these people. There is no grand philosophy behind it. It’s hate, it’s as simple as that. If you’re grasping for reasons why that can’t be, save yourself the energy. You’ll need it for something else.

Musa Okwonga @okwonga.bsky.social · 2d

You can’t burn your bridges with people who are committed to racism. The bridges never existed in the first place. That’s hard to understand for people who don’t have to navigate at least one situation a week where they or their loved ones are treated as subhuman. But it’s true.

Voted Labour in every local and national election since 1983, been a member a few times, but joined the Green Party recently. Whatever you do don't let the establishment change what you believe in, the media will be coming for you more and more, stay strong

Gary Lineker made a good point on his Rest is Football podcast, there are very few work relationships where an organisation basically owns an individual for a set period of time. In real life we all have negotiable periods after which we can leave a job

Gary Stanford @garystanford.bsky.social · Sep 3

I've a friend who did a bit of work for a popular LFC content provider and he explained exactly how the relationship with clubs works, certainly for the ones with more access than most. I'd guess all the club based journalists for outlets like the Athletic have the same 'rules' they adhere to

Gary Stanford @garystanford.bsky.social · Sep 2

Being very, very rich often doesn't mean you're any good at business, especially when it was basically all a fluke of geography 🤣 After what we saw yesterday it's obvious Isak and his advisor played a blinder, football's a ruthless business, ffs they treat kids like shit all the time

Gary Stanford @garystanford.bsky.social · Aug 26

100% mate, so many enjoy being negative.

They'll hate this season unless we're miles ahead which we probably won't be. They suck the enjoyment out of the game, usually driven by the big accounts, certainly on twitter, who know what gets engagement and £££

Gary Stanford @garystanford.bsky.social · Aug 25

I guess we'll know by Xmas, while he still won't have his ideal squad coaches have to be flexible in the PL or they won't last long, all these bloody international breaks before November don't help
