Imagine being Man United

Please tell me they announced the Barca v Real Madrid score at halftime at Anfield. #LFC

Partidazo de nuevo. #UCL

Why would you leave all this to go to all that? #LFC

Chelsea won 3-1 without even being very good. They continue being Tories though and we continue being the Champions. Up the Reds. #LFC

Chelsea fans should spend more time applauding the Champions than singing their little Tory songs. #LFC

Good job Arsenal decided to stop trying in the Premier League to focus on the Champions League instead.

Back on our fucking perch. #LFC

1 point. A chance to win it all at Anfield. Perfect. Up the Reds. #LFC

No Championship today but a big step closer and relegated Leicester. Good riddance. Up the Reds. #LFC

I finished this today. Booker International shortlisted slow sci-fi (slow-fi?). AI goes from benevolent to indifferent to hostile. If that makes it sound exciting… well it’s not. But it is deep, moving & thought-provoking. I really liked it. Under the Eye of the Big Bird by Hiromi Kawakami.

VIRGIL VAN DIJK 💥 Captain. Leader. Liverpool. #LFC move one step closer to the Premier League title.

What a fucking let off after that goal. More of that please Liverpool. #LFC

In a bit of trouble here aren’t we. The subs haven’t really helped and our pressing isn’t working. We’ve stopped finding each other with passes. What is the plan here? #LFC

Something tells me the Ev don’t really want to win this one. Nice one lads.

A proper Derby that one. Not pretty but a fighting win. I hope they’ve played themselves into some form and we can win this title in style. #LFC

I don’t know who’s the biggest clown between Pickford and the referee. #LFC

Have that

Having said that, I’m buying a new #Barça shirt as soon as it’s confirmed. #LFC

I moved to Spain but I don’t see why Trent Alexander-Arnold should as well. /s obvs #LFC

They are just normal men, just innocent men.

Liverpool went out of two cup competitions in a week thanks to two oil-state sportswashing projects. Never forget that. Up the Reds. #LFC

National anthem eh?

16 years ago yesterday. Cocky European giants turned up at Anfield after losing 1-0 in the first leg. ‘This is Anfield, so what?’ They said. Got battered 4-0. Up the Reds #LFC

‘Liverpool only win because of Alisson Becker’ is so funny because have you all forgotten why Alisson plays for Liverpool? In 2017 PSG were trying to play Billy big bollocks and wasted €222 million buying Neymar from Barcelona. #LFC

Tell you what, all I heard in the lead up to that game was about how good PSG were and Liverpool haven’t played a team like them. Well they were alright but we won. They’ve never played a team like us. Up the Reds. #LFC

Have that. #LFC

Two of Zinedine Zidane’s sons played against each other today. Theo for Córdoba and Luca for Granada. It finished 5-0 to Córdoba with Luca scoring a late own goal to help his brother out. It puts Córdoba only one point behind Granada in 9th place. Both in with a good shot of making the playoffs.

Here I react to the shameful encounter between American leaders and media and the Ukrainian president. No doubt there were more, but I saw five failures on our side: of hospitality, decency, democracy, strategy, and independence. Please watch and share. snyder.substack.com/p/five-failu...

This is truly astonishing. Just when you think you’ve seen the worst of Trump he goes one step further. www.bbc.com/news/live/c6...

There’s been a lot of whining from the ‘neutral fans’ recently and I have two thoughts. Firstly, there aren’t any truly neutral fans, there’s only Liverpool fans and everybody else. Secondly, who cares what people who call themselves neutral fans think.

How beautiful is football. Up the Reds. #LFC

Sky love Doku dribbling past Trent. Here’s Doku’s shots and chances created in the first half.

Well the only statement was how easy it was. We are on another level to them and everyone else in this league. Up the Reds. #LFC

“DJT's approach to Latin America is reminiscent of the manner in wh he & his father ran their bldgs in Queens. They put a big C [for “coloured”] on any application from a family that was Black or Hispanic. And not surprisingly, those people didn’t get apartments. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Have Forest absolutely shat themselves?

Need a statement win tomorrow Reds.

That’s the clearest red card you’ll ever see.

Wait, I thought the Ev liked 2-2 draws. Why are they booing?

That’s a dive.
