But Virgil is the captain surely, that is why he speaks more than most?
Jamie Carragher via Sky Sports : After all these defeats, it's always Van Dijk who comes out and speaks. You only ever hear Mohamed Salah speak when he gets man of the match or when he needs a new contract.

The long and winding road: Stuart Maconie on why our opinions about the Beatles keep changing
Fans and historians have spent 60 years debating what the band means – and which member is greatest. Will the returning Anthology project and Sam Mendes’s planned biopics create new arguments?

Labour are done. They haven't got a clue. They are pandering to the Reform voter and have long since forgotten their working class roots. This is exactly what the Nazis did to Jewish people. It's inhumane. Immigration does need to be sorted out but humanly.
Govt minister Alex Norris is asked if the govt will take jewellery from people [fleeing war and persecution]. Norris says the govt won't be taking peoples wedding rings but they will seize assets.

Happy 423 years of us! 🎉 📚
The Bodleian Libraries opened for the first time on 8 November 1602...
This means, we're older than the refracting telescope (1608), the publication of Shakespeare's Hamlet (1623) and Sir Isaac Newton's apple (1666)! 😅

If you vote for Reform and have children then you really are stupid. Our kids who work don't get a lot as it is, companies are always looking to exploit them. If these charlatans get in then what kind of future will they have? It's bad enough now. Wake up before it's too late.
YOUNG PEOPLE. LISTEN UP.
