If you want to know if Fede Chiesa is fit and firing, keep a close eye on his left foot. Seriously. Here's why: www.andrewbeasleyfootball.com/p/the-ballad...

How conman Kenny Huang nearly bought Liverpool, then scammed Hollywood sportingintelligence832.substack.com/p/how-conman...

Can’t do all comps but in the Premier League on record since 2006-07 we have three players sent off for a second yellow for ‘excessive celebration’: Younes Kaboul 2009 for Portsmouth v Sunderland Frédéric Piquionne 2011 for West Ham v Everton Raheem Sterling 2017 for Man City v Bournemouth

I see Prime Video have the Liverpool Champions League games on 30/09, 4/11 and 9/12. Nicely spaced apart for months of subscriptions, you ballbags. Recommendations for good TV shows on Prime are hereby welcome.

Chiesa’s just heard I’ve got a newsletter out about him this afternoon.

The people they are talking about deporting include, to pluck one example from the air, my 59-year-old sister who has lived here since the age of six and is on a low income due to being a nursery school teacher. These plans are utterly scandalous and anyone who supports them is a disgrace.

I don't need an ID card. I need the NHS to work.

Please stop spending money with this company

Liverpool can't keep getting away with scoring late winners apparently. Perhaps not, but will they keep conceding goals when 2-0 up? I've looked into it for my Wednesday newsletter: www.andrewbeasleyfootball.com/p/liverpool-...

Liverpool defender Jenna Clark said her side “played with a lot of emotion” in their first game since the death of Matt Beard. Clark, who captained the side, said the squad “pulled through together” to produce a performance Beard would have been proud of. ✍️ @charpur.bsky.social 🔗 bit.ly/46oWBTS

Liverpool have drawn Crystal Palace in the league cup because the clubs won’t have played each other enough in the last six months.

Forgot League Cup started early for LFCW - very good first half by the look of it. Could do with a good morale boosting win.

Can’t help wondering if this is the sort of attacking line up fans would prefer in the league rather than at Port Vale.

Danny Thompson RIP He's played with The Pentangle, Kate Bush, Everything But The Girl, ABC, Nick Drake, Talk Talk, Rod Stewart, John Martyn, David Sylvian, T.Rex, teh Thunderbirds theme, Peter Gabriel oh god all sorts

From something so innocuous looking. Gutted for him, played well.

Disappointing to read this but book five was comfortably the weakest so feared the worst.

I'm working on a preview of Palace vs Liverpool and I read a stat which reminded me how ridiculous Mohamed Salah is.

Is this the only credible solution to the global climate crisis?

Crystal Palace are in sensational form. Currently on a 17-game unbeaten run, they could equal their all-time club record sequence this weekend. Is this the best that they've ever been? @alitweedale.bsky.social analyses their qualities ahead of their game vs Liverpool: theanalyst.com/articles/cry...

Creating four big chances will be very rare (as the very best teams average fewer than four per game). Played, Fede.

How many Manchester United managers do you think tactics YouTubers will be able to fit in the thumbnail before they start considering other possible explanations

Liverpool have now won 6 consecutive games by exactly one goal - the longest ever run of one-goal wins in the club's entire history. #LFC

Leoni great, Chiesa better, Ekitike stupid. Up the Reds.

Hugo Ekitike is the first Liverpool player to both score and be red carded in the same game at Anfield since Steven Gerrard v Aston Villa in September 2001. #LFC

Danns, Downs and Downes all on the pitch

Hugo you idiot

I feel like Liverpool score that exact goal every time they play Southampton.

Leoni and Gomez is now Liverpool's second most used centre-back pairing this season, 12 minutes!

Debuts, veterans, hot young thing and a record transfer needing minutes. It’s a Milk Cup line up alright, Clive.

Theory I intend to investigate: the days of really dominant xGD stats from top teams are over because the standard of the Premier League is better than ever. Or maybe the top teams aren’t as good. Probably both.

This charity shop is prepared.

Just finished this. Recommended.

BBC News

People used to moan about the lack of goals and assists from Liverpool's midfield. After Ryan Gravenberch's Merseyside derby, they won't be grumbling any more. Here's my look at Liverpool 2-1 Everton: www.andrewbeasleyfootball.com/p/the-match-...

This is such a painful time for everyone who knew Matt Beard. If friends or supporters wish to ease the burden of funeral costs, etc, here’s a practical way to support Matt’s wife Debbie as she and the kids attempt to process the sudden loss of this lovely man 💔 www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding...

I quite like immigration.

May we all never have to watch a game that ends with nine center backs on the field ever again.

that point could end up being the difference between arsenal finishing second with 81 points and second with 82 points

I approve.

It’s just going to be a very funny seasons with Arteta and Pep doing various weird versions of struggle ball control while Liverpool YOLO it out of their ears.

Liverpool’s defensive midfielder Ryan Gravenberch has been directly involved in three open play league goals this season (scored two, one assist). So have Arsenal.

That was a great angle replay, the Arsenal players running after Haaland and getting nowhere near.

LFC memory came up this morning. 15 years ago today my husband snapped this pic of Hicks and his son on Park Avenue, going hat in hand to banks, trying to keep his claws in LFC. I posted it to Twitter and meltdown ensued. Dark days. But look at our club now! ♥️

One of those wins was against relegated Leicester, the other was 3-2 against Fulham despite only having four shots. West Ham bad. Real bad.
