@knoxharrington.bsky.social just listening to the Transfer Committee Rules show (really looking forward to the game this year) and thought I'd chime in on Branthwaite. He's completely two footed. Played the full season at right centre half for PSV on loan, apparently.

Just thinking about the lyrics to Englishman in New York. Who likes their toast done on one side? No one. Not Englishmen, not anyone. Sting's been making people think we're weird all these years.

Loads and loads of classy stuff from LFC and our supporters about Goodison. Some even seem to have a real affection for the place. Not me. Went there 3 times in the '90s. Twice to watch Liverpool and to watch Brazil v Japan. Shithole. Looking forward to battering them at The Dick, though. #LFC

I don't think Liverpool will end up signing Florian Wirtz, but I believe the message we're sending to him and players like his is, "Utd are gone. Guardiola's on his last legs. Chelsea don't know what they're doing and Arsenal don't win things. We're setting up to dominate in England. Join us." #LFC

I don't believe in booing Liverpool players. No one around me booed, I must say. I can understand booing Trent onto the pitch, but not his every touch. Badly affected the atmosphere which had been great. He shouldn't play for us again, though. He's made his choice and has to deal with it. #LFC

That new fella in the Vatican might think he's God's man on earth, but I fixed my tumble dryer this evening, so who is it really?

Cracking this open to toast the Champions. I've had it a while, so it might be off, but never mind. If I die, I'll die happy. #LFC

Back home now. Telling my kids all about it. It was some day.

I haven't worn a footy shirt to a game since I was a kid, but if Big Virg tells you to wear red, you do it. So I'm wearing this. Signed by Carra himself. It's getting worn once and then framed as it should have been years ago. Let's bring it home. Up the fuckin Reds. #LFC

Today's the day. #LFC

Trying to find something red to wear to the game because Virgil said so.

Chris Eubank v Nigel Benn on Sky Sports Main Event right now. The proper one, not the clown show that's on tomorrow. If you've never seen it, get on it. If you have, get on it again.

Going to be hard to concentrate on anything between now and Sunday. Going to be some day. One more point. #LFC

Turned on the Utd game and saw they were 2-0 up. Rather than turn it off, I thought that if I watched for long enough they'd do something stupid. Bingo!

Losing Mo Salah would've been a big blow, but we could have had a go at replacing him with 2 belters (may not have succeeded). Virgil van Dijk is irreplaceable. The captain that he is, the defensive colossus that he is. We needed him to re-sign and he has. Made up. #LFC

Remembering the 97, their families, the survivors, and all those affected by the Hillsborough Disaster. Today and always. #HillsboroughLawNow #JFT97 #LFC

Why can't my brain just let me be happy that Mo's signed an extension without worrying about 2027 when him, Robbo and Alisson are set to leave? Potentially van Dijk and Slot, too. Sorry, everyone. #LFC

Gave ourselves too much work to do after a disastrous 1st half. If they think this title is already won, they've had their eye wiped today. #LFC

Well that was abysmal. For too lackadaisical. They'll be getting a massive bollocking in there. Could take any one of them off and they'd deserve it. #LFC

What the fuck are we doing at the back today?

Get in Macca! What a goal. #LFC

Thought the Reds were good 2nd half. Made up for Jota. Gravenberch looked back to his level, and as for Curt at right back, maybe we should've gone with it in the final. Hindsight is 20-20 and all that. 4 more wins and we're champions. ##LFC

Apparently, we trained with Curt Jones at right back the week before the League Cup final. Slot decided against it. So this has been on the cards, we should be prepared. Up the Reds! #LFC

Big, big one tonight. Feels like months since Wembley. We're not normally at our most fluent following a break, but it's a Derby, so fluency can fuck off. We need to fight and win. #LFC

My thoughts on Trent are many: The best right back I've seen at #LFC. So often the out ball, so often the final ball. A huge loss. He should've had a new contract 2 years ago. We didn't have a proper DoF and it didn't get done. That's on the owners. But he's been offered and turned it down. 1/2

Me opening Bluesky to find there was football being played tonight...

Back home now. Knackered. Up again in 6 hours. No footy for a couple of weeks and then we've got to get stuck right into that Everton. Good night, all. Up the fuckin Reds.

Oxford services on the way back from Wembley. A day that was going so well ruined by the football. Ah well. 5 more wins and we're champions. We're all OK with that aren't we? #LFC

A lot of people are downhearted after tonight and I can't blame them. Not me though, not yet anyway. I thought we played well but PSG had all the luck. Their goal particularly, but getting choice of ends and going 1st on pens. Everything went for them, nothing fell for us. We'll come again. #LFC
