Reading The Athletic's BTS of the Amorim sacking. Honestly, Ratcliffe sounds like a nightmare.

Loads of “he had no pressure on him when he had the shot” chat. To be clear, you actively want a centre-back who has barely played & has only had one touch in the game to have a shot from distance. I’m sorry, but you just do. The chance of him scoring was minute. But sometimes it happens.

Fuck's sake, how unlucky can you get. A point at Craven Cottage is never bad, but that equaliser was a kick in the stomach.

I don't think we've been awful at all, but clearly Fulham's plan to sit back and hit us on the counter is working perfectly. This was always going to be a really tough game.

Unlucky for Liverpool. We'd been decent until a genuinely good move by Fulham and a perfect finish from Wilson. Just have to keep calm and not panic.

It's so weird when "streamer has bad opinion" makes regular headlines. Do you know the worst people to ask for gaming takes? People who make a living playing one game for 18 hours per day and being mad about it

In short, those who like Avatar will love it, and those who don't... won't go to see it. Logical. Here's a quick overview below.

It’s easy to forget just how groundbreaking the original KotOR was, but at the time all the dialogue in any other CRPG would have just been text on a screen. LucasArts encouraged BioWare to try something new: having the speaking characters voice every line of dialogue.

Caught up with Jamie Carragher’s take on Mo Salah. Brilliantly emphatic. And to back up Carra’s point that what Salah did at Leeds wasn’t emotional - as reported by @ptgorst.bsky.social, he told journalists in the mixed zone to wait for him while he had a shower. He knew exactly what he was doing.

Slept on it and re-read the Salah interview. Its even worse in the cold light of day.

Salah’s got a cheek, IMHO. He’s been shite all season & is lucky Slot didn’t drop him before he did. It’s been for ENTIRELY understandable reasons that he’s not been at it, but to do this now is out of order.

I might be alone in this but I’m not in the slightest surprised that Salah has come out with this interview. If he believes that he has an axe to grind, he’s never been shy of grinding the fucking thing in public.
Nobody should be surprised he’d go nuclear 🤷🏻♂️ I don’t think less of him, though.
