Exactly.
Saw Superman tonight. Enjoyed it! Funny that the right-wing lunatics thought the actor looked too weedy. It was significantly more fun than the Zack Snyder version. The introduction of Krypto dog was also excellent.
Just remembered it's less than seven weeks since I wrote an 'Isak or Ekitike' article, while also suggesting Rodrygo should be the man Liverpool should go for either way. What a summer. No paywall, have a read www.andrewbeasleyfootball.com/p/alexander-...
Wow I hate this and it’s probably true
😂
This looks like the start of a buddy movie.
#LFC have won all three games, even though they haven't looked great in any of them. With Alexander Isak now arriving, the Reds can only get better. They deserved to win against an Arsenal side that just didn't want to lose. Read more here: www.andcouldheplay.com/a-performanc...
For #LFC, the thing that mattered most yesterday was walking away with all three points. That being said, the solid defensive display after the last two matches was heartening & supporters can get excited about the arrival of Alexander Isak. Read more: www.andcouldheplay.com/a-performanc...
At Anfield, the #LFC manager wanted to win whilst the Arsenal manager tried not to lose. That is the difference in the mentality of the two clubs, even if a Szoboszlai screamer was needed to settle the matter. As Isak arrives, fans should be excited. More: www.andcouldheplay.com/a-performanc...
It’s because Reform know it’s the platform they win on, so they want to keep banging the drum. They know people who turn up at hotels & whatever aren’t voting Labour no matter what Starmer does, so they just want to talk about it all the time. It’s depressing af.
#LFC's win over Arsenal was the performance of champions, putting in a solid defensive display against a side that had no threat apart from at set-pieces. The rest of the league should be worried as Alexander Isak arrives. Read my latest piece here: www.andcouldheplay.com/a-performanc...
Spot on, Julia. No chance this gets ignored if he’d done something anti-Muslim, say. Sad that it looks like it’ll just be completely ignored by the club.
Me neither. I think the club needs to tackle it head on. Burying heads isn’t acceptable.
Others have explained well why it’s homophobic, so I’d just add this. If, as he claimed, it’s just a message of inclusion, why has he never written such a message on his non-rainbow armband?
Fuck, and I can’t say this often enough, Keir Starmer. A spineless prick who is so terrified of far-right racists that he thinks the best way to beat them is to join them. Farage must be laughing his froggy face off.
People say the Tories are dead. Strange, when they're essentially still in government, just in red ties. Absolutely grim.
I WISH I was good enough at Photoshop to put you in a kit of some shit non-league team.
My latest. Includes a bit about Isak’s behaviour and the hypocrisy of football fans.
Just as well, given I said “what a think”
That’s fair. I didn’t *love* it, but I also didn’t hate it.
Haha, we’ve posted very different takes. Elizabeth, Ibrahim & Chris all worked for me. Joyce not how I pictured her and let’s not even talk about Ron. Totally agree on skinny Bogdan. I didn’t hate it though.
Watched The Thursday Murder Club tonight. Just like the books, it felt like a warm bath of loveliness. Not everyone was well cast, but some of them definitely were. Really enjoyed it.
Rachel said she doesn’t think Szoboszlai’s handsome earlier, so it turns out I fancy him more than my wife does. Although in fairness, it’s pretty self-evident that she’s got terrible taste in men.
Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal seem like an experiment to answer the question of whether managers like Tony Pulis & Sam Allardyce would actually have won trophies if they had more money.
Interesting. I’ve definitely heard them used interchangeably in recent times.
Rylan.
When did we start calling a Buck’s Fizz a mimosa?
Now *this* is how you display patriotism on a mini roundabout.
Sadly I did not get to meet Sir Paul, but it was pretty cool seeing all the people warming up before the various stunts/Cirque du Soleil style bits that took place in the gig itself. I also got a press pack.
When I was a student in Sheffield, we set up a radio station. I had tickets for Paul McCartney’s gig in the city so called his agent & asked if I could chat with him. It was when he & Heather Mills announced they were pregnant, so I was part of the press gaggle & got taken backstage before the gig.
If he thought the booing was bad when he played for us…..
It’s certainly good that we’ve arguably got the hardest games at home. Fair to say these sorts of matchups are exactly why UEFA changed the format!
Totally, and I lost respect for him because of it. But my point is that I don’t want us to sign someone who has been active in his attitude towards the community.
Really?! Crikey. We don’t have to travel half the world away I guess….
No, but he’s the only one who has made public his feelings. I also think it’s a slippery slope to assume that just because someone is religious they’ll naturally be homophobic. Klopp is very religious but did loads of great work with the community.
Just seen the Champions League draw. I believe the phrase is “oof”.

Google Guehí & Rainbow armband.
Obviously football specific. I’d also like to win the lottery.
That’s fine coz my birthday is the 17th.
My dream end to the summer window: -Isak -A centre-back who isn’t a homophobe -Another player for the front three
Let’s clear up some facts. There is no such thing as an “illegal immigrant”. The UK DOES NOT grant asylum visas overseas, except for very limited schemes (except large schemes for Ukraine and Hong Kong).Refugees can only claim for asylum when in the UK. So their fate can only be decided, once here.
Someone buy that headline-writer a drink.
United out before Liverpool are in.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
His dad said it was. Plus, why only write this “message of inclusion” on the rainbow armband and not his regular one?
😂😂😂
Sharing this from Instagram, as it appeared in my feed, and I've hurt myself laughing at this. From KellyCooksWhat on Instagram.
It tastes of Brexit & divorce.
'Immigration doesn't bother me but it seems to bother everyone else' – Everyone. This is what happens when the media runs away with Hard Right narratives.
More set-pieces FC than Arsenal.
Yep. Such a bizarre take on what’s actually going on. They came out to be thugs from the off and got a referee who was happy to let them.
😂
That’s because that didn’t happen, you massive weirdo. Imagine thinking way of defending having human rights abusers as owners is to make up a lie about a tragedy in which people lost their lives. Oddball.
Remember though, they were unlucky & deserved more according to the Sky narrative.
Hooper is an atrocious referee. Shouldn’t be anywhere near Premier League games, let along given one that was always going to have a big atmosphere like tonight.
An orange card 😂😂😂😂 It’s as red as they come!
So far….
We definitely need a defender, but I’d rather we didn’t sign a homophobe, personally.
Very much so. It won’t be painted as that, but it was.
That was a cowardly performance from Saudi Arabia FC, who turned up determined to be physical & not caring if they injured our players. It was aided and abetted by a weak referee persistently kowtowing to the crowd. Delighted to emerge with three points & hopefully no injuries.
It’s not hard to be when the referee lets you roughhouse throughout & barely gives a free-kick against you.
Obviously the Sky story will be all about brave Saudi Arabia FC, ignoring the fact the referee let them be violent throughout the game & needed VAR to send Gordon off.
He’s on upgrade on his age. Otherwise, it’s worrying how weak he’s been.
GET IN!!!!! Surviving an horrendous refereeing by performance & some poor decisions from Slot. Emerging from that with all three points could be massive. Heads will roll in Newcastle no doubt.
RIOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!?!!;!!;!!,’dncnenxnnejxjd
From the moment it went 2-1, we’ve looked like the team with 10 men. Really poor game management from Slot IMO.
That equaliser has been coming. So predictable.
If someone can send me the FA rule that says Bruno G can foul as much as he wants but if he gets fouled it’s a yellow for the opposition I’d appreciate it.
Can’t apologise for the Saudi Arabian ownership if you don’t go into the Director’s Box every now and then.
Honestly.
Simon Hooper has just given them a free-kick for Joelinton overstretching.
Mildly concerned by how poor Salah’s been so far this season. Especially considering he’s always poor when he comes back from AFCON.
Rule nothing out.
Wish Sky Sports were as obsessed with showing us the match as they are with constant replays.
Made this really uncomfortable for ourselves when the game was dead. Very similar to Bournemouth. Only ourselves to blame.
Weak from Kerkez
I can understand Saudi Arabia FC’s frustration with Hooper there, given he gave them fucking everything in the first-half.
YES HUGO!!!!
Yep. Well done boys, good process should’ve been the end of his career, but here we are.
If I were you, I’d be placing a bet on #LFC getting a red card in this second-half because Hooper will absolutely crumble under the crowd.
Yep.
Totally agree.
Me “what are you doing?!……GET IN!!”
“Premier League, corrupt as fuck”. Grow up, you sportwash supporting pricks. Hope we win 200-0.
Beheaddie Howe sent them on fired up, throwing themselves into everything & that’s the result. Just pure luck van Dijk hasn’t been injured. Now we find out what Slot’s #LFC are like against ten men because they were shite at it under Klopp!
The only right decision.
Fuck me, he actually got the decision right!
Glad we didn’t sign Gordon. He’s such a shithouse. Could’ve done van Dijk some serious damage there. He’s a coward of a footballer. That would be a red card if the officials had any bollocks.
Boo that you human rights abuse supporting pricks.
He’s such a poor referee. Buying everything they’re selling. Too big a game for him.
Two terrible fouls by Newcastle, no booking. One poor foul by Liverpool, booking.
Foul number 1 from Joelinton.
Ha! State of the plastic flags! I used to have a soft spot for Newcastle United, but they’ve become such a plastic club even without talking about the murderous regime that owns it now.
You’re going to be severely disappointed.
My main hope is that we don’t have the shortest fella in our team marking their tallest fella at corners.
Not much off the bench if we need it.
There were more people taking part in protests against the board of Sheffield Wednesday than there were people protesting against all the Asylum Hotels in all of the UK this weekend. Don't mainstream bigotry!
So many mad things in this. Firstly, the complete denial of the murderous regime that owns your club. Secondly, the personal attack on me, as if I’m not aware I’m bald. Thirdly, the poverty reference to a city that has far more in common with Newcastle than your Tory attitude realises. Do better.
