If journalists were doing their job properly, it would simply not be possible for the public to be labouring under this degree of ignorance when it comes to immigration. inews.co.uk/opinion/immi...

"Arsenal have been ruthless against weaker opposition (at least in league table terms). They’ve won 17 of their 19 matches against teams currently in the bottom half of the table, taking 53 points and conceding just six goals in those games. They’ve taken an average of 2.8 points per game […]

Apple wants me to reboot my MacBook so I can access to new emojis. Not even joking.

RE: https://mas.to/@statsguy/116605356541757195 "We will always do the right thing, unless it becomes inconvenient for us." Pathetic.

You know what really burns about Mo Salah's current Spoilt Child act and undermining of Slot? It's that Mo's Indian-summer season in 2024/25 came about precisely because Slot rearranged the whole team around what Mo can still do, making other players cover for his deficiencies in other areas as […]

Where did the One of our Dinosaurs is Missing dinosaur come from? It's now fairly well established that the remains of the Krayt Dragon that C-3PO and R2-D2 walk past in an early Tatooine scene of Star Wars (1977) were re-used from the knockabout Disney film One of Our Dinosaurs is Missing […]

Please, for the love of god, stop calling mass surveillance bills "lawful access". There is no such thing as "lawful access" - once the backdoor is there, it will be used without oversight the second it's in place. There is literally not one example in all of (recent) history of "lawful access" […]

Oh god, the guilt trip defense. Come on man. Its really bad. Gomez was the best player on the pitch. Then off for Chiesa, who hasn't had minutes in months

OK, so a very disappointing match, part of a very disappointing season. But listen up, folks. This is where we earn the right to be supporters. Not glory-hunters, actual supporters. Who earn the right to enjoy the glory years by going through years like this with the club. This is when we […]

The tragedy is we're actually playing some really nice football. But it's all being undone by schoolboy stuff at the back. #LFC

Villa's shooting has been sensational, to be fair. Aside from the rebound from the rebound, which went in from three yards, their three goals have been scored from chances worth 0.05, 0.08 and 0.05 xG, a total of 0.18. Their shots turns them in xGOT of 0.25, 0.56 and 0.12, a total of 0.93 […]

Who predicted 4-1, again? So nearly right. (And yet another goal that Alisson would never have conceded.) #LFC

On one hand, a penalty there would have been very generous to us. One the other hand, if you don't give those, you are INVITING players to grab shirts in the penalty area. It's inevitable. Players who don't do it are giving up an advantage. PGMOL have only themselves to blame for the way […]

Rio has faded to absolutely nothing in this half. He's a kid. He can;'t cope with EPL intensity for 90 minutes, and that's why Slot usually takes him off. We need to be thinking about the next ten years of Rio, not the next two matches. #LFC

Well, butt-nuggets. #LFC

My oh my. We are not good at defending set pieces, are we? #LFC

Superb shot by Buendia, hits the post! #LFC

Fantastic defending there by Kerkez, alone against two Villa attackers. Now can we please not have another situation like that? #LFC

Very attacking substitutions. Which I like to see, but they have not usually worked out well for us this season. #LFC

That's a foul by Konate. No idea why it's not given. Sometimes they go in our favour, I guess. #LFC

What on Earth was Marardashvili doing with that shot? Talk about Went Down In Installments. Shocking. We're really seeing how important Alisson is to us. #LFC

Oh, how close can you get! Rio hits the post from outside the area and Gakpo (once more in an offside position) can't put the rebound away but it wouldn't have counted if he had. Good signs, though! #LFC

Only four Liverpool players have scored more goals this season than VVD's seven: Ekitike 17 Szoboszlai 13 Salah 12 Gakpo 9 #LFC

All right! My stream froze as the free kick was taken, then when I refreshed and resumed, we'd scored! I'll take it. #LFC

Bad cross from Szobo drifts into Martinez's hands. #LFC

I don't like to see Ross Barkley coming on. He's one of those players, like Richarlison, who always seems to come up with something against us. #LFC

BTW., the more I see the Gakpo penalty appear, the more stonewall it appears. There's talk of shirt-tugging but that irrelevant. The point is that the Villa player kicks the back of Cody foot as he goes to play the ball. #LFC

How could Watkins expect not to get a yellow for that? #LFC

Dominate for 30 minutes, concede one shot, and of course it's a goal. Over and over this season. #LFC

Well, crap. #LFC

This is our best game of the season for getting good crosses into the box. How typical that we do this in a match where we have no striker. #LFC

Total thunderbastard from Szobo there, with Martinez can only parry. Love to see this. #LFC

Rats. Gravenberch's shot is spilled and Gakpo puts it in, but he is unambiguously offside. #LFC

Decent shot from Ngumoha, from distance. Yes, it's over, but it keeps people guessing. I like. #LFC

JOE GOMEZ HAS A SHOT! Hit it well, too; but slipped, and it went well over. #LFC

Deliberate trip by Lindelof. No yellow card, of course. #LFC

Good to see Villa doubling up on Ngumoha. And STILL not managing to unload him. #LFC

And as I write that, some horrifying decision-making from Mamardashvili. I think we got away with it. #LFC

I don't want Ollie Watkins to be injured, because I'd like to see VIlla win the UEFA Cup. #LFC

No good work down the right from Jones results in Szobo putting in another good cross. Keep putting those in and we should be OK ... except of course that we don't have a striker on the pitch. #LFC

Great work by Kerkez down the left, overlapping run and a good cross. #LFC

Now Ngumoha sandwiched between two Villa players making absolutely no attempt to play the ball. Neither is booked, of course, because it's "too early". #LFC

Ngumoha absolutely mugged there. #LFC

Liverpool's change strip of white shirts and black shorts is much easier to confuse with Villa players (same overall contrast profile) than our proper all-red kit would be. #LFC

We're off. Some nice Hunting In Packs in the first 45 seconds. Keep that up for the next 89m15s plus injury time, please! #LFC

The voice of Karen Carney, on pre-match analysis, is not a delight. #LFC

RE: https://ec.social-network.europa.eu/@EUCommission/116571974334663481 Hmm, this seems like the kind of scheme that the UK could benefit from being part of. If only there was some kind of union of European countries that we could be a part of.
