New on Always Liverpool. "There's such satisfaction to be taken from Wirtz rocking up and telling the rest of the football world “I saw myself in the best hands at Liverpool”, that the decision to come to Liverpool was an easy one."

This country is about the continuity of privilege and keeping people without it down. Looked into an online MA for something I’d like to retrain in. Either I don’t do it or I’m saddled with a mortgage worth of debt. American Dream? Joke of a place. All it ever had was good PR. The reality stinks.

Well, it took him a year but he achieved the impossible. He drank Bordeaux dry. Well done, Andy.

The rest of the Premier League...

Just putting it out there. I'm not the biggest fan of Milos Kerkez' face. It might not be bothering me so much if I wasn't so upset about Robbo potentially moving on.

Igor Jesus is a magnificent name.

This would be Inter Miami's finest day if they can see this out. A big win against a major European power like FC Porto. A perennial UCL team that have won it in recent memory. They've been excellent here.

Some evening reading on Always Liverpool. Protect Andrew Robertson at all costs.

The referee camera at this CWC fiasco is pretty cool. The PMOGL would never, ever sanction that. They can't have us knowing precisely what they've seen. Opens them up to too much criticism.

Calling Bullshit. No way this can be good.

Hello...Hello.... YEAH! YEAH! YEAH!

*Severance S2 SPOILER ALERT* But this was too apt.

Brad Marchand continuing the Ray Allen tradition of ditching Boston and coming to South Florida to help a team go back-to-back.

That modulation in Landslide's chorus combined with the lyric itself ("Well I've been afraid of changing because I've built my life around you..." and Stevie's haunting delivery makes me well-up every single time.

This is super cool from the NWSL team Angel City FC, which is based in LA. They distributed these tshirts at last night’s game.

What's the most embarrassing thing to happen in the United States this weekend? The Trump Birthday Parade? Or absolutely everything about the FIFA Club World Cup?

The actual World Cup never saw a 10-0 in 95 years, despite infamous discrepancies between teams over the years. Took two days at the Club World Cup.

I have seen so much AI used for beer day Britain/national beer day. As someone who spends every working hour just trying to make stuff that makes you feel *something* about beer and beer culture, well, I hope you’re ashamed, because you’re a fucking embarrassment, and you’re decimating my industry.

Bayern so wounded Wirtz told them to do one they have to put 10 past a bunch of part timers. Tournament is an absolute embarrassment.

The end of Severance Season 2 was ace.

The Dude minds.

Whoah! This changes everything. I’m definitely going to start watching Tory man grapple now!

Oooooh SO pumped to read this! Let's go INSIDE THE AI HIRING SPREE!

I promise this is the pettiest, saltiest thing you’ll ever read on Always Liverpool. Shares and subs greatly appreciated.

That bloke with the Israel 'Trump 47' hockey jersey and MAGA hat combo in front of Tkachuk's dad has me cheering for the Oilers now.

Trent: I've been learning Spanish a month or two Also Trent:

Stood grinning in front of European Cups won against his team. A few months with that Spanish? Eat me.

Making my BBC Radio debut tomorrow for Toast on Radio 4. Talking about the demise of the discontinued Nike Fuelband and reflecting on whether it could have lived if Nike went all-in on tech hardware. Airing at 12:30pm Thursday. Available on Sounds app shortly after. Really enjoyed recording this.

Gotta love Thomas Tuchel's mum. I'm all in favour of hearing about what footy manager's mums think of their players. Mums rule.

Spending a little more time on LinkedIn lately as I look into some new opportunities and I've gotta say LinkedIn is worse for my mental health than Twitter ever was, Facebook ever has been and Instagram ever will be. It is a misery pit.

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence. They are in charge.
