This is good and worth a read

Rafa Benitez is a Spanish name that lends itself to chanting, but Andoni Iraola is going to take a different kind of music to come to life at Anfield. I think it’ll suit scousers once they figure out the right one or two

I’d love to hear Kerkez’s perspective on Iraola joining.

Dear FSG, Could you please stop pretending a tiny squad can sustain our ambitions and challenging schedule? Sincerely, All Reds

A Spaniard at the helm again!

This is such sad news. She was 56. Rest in peace

Remember when ICE meant “in case of emergency”?

Done haha #LFC

Do it.

Political positions considered Leftist in America are just common sense in other countries.

My god, Octavia Butler, just miss ONCE

watching the chuds turn literally everything into Gender at all times is so exhausting and stupid figuring out that You Don't Have To Do That is, I believe, the single most helpful realization a young man can make, it's such an enormous life improvement to just embrace what you actually like

If your approach to Slot’s sacking is that we need to root out who else was to blame for this season’s failures, I’m genuinely fine with you disappearing from my timeline forever. What a ridiculous way to “support” your club.

If Iraola is our next manager, he might actually give Chiesa a chance, which could be interesting. At the very least, that could give time for a new attacker to settle in. No one can step directly is Salah’s boots.

Two things can be true at once: it is right for Slot to leave Liverpool and he is a good man who was treated despicably by certain sections of the fanbase over the past couple of months. Won a title and handled the death of Diogo Jota as well as he could, so the joy of some doesn’t sit right.

All the best to Arne Slot! We couldn’t have asked for more from your debut season, and we all know there were significant mitigating circumstances for your second. I wish you the best and hope you’re remembered fondly at Anfield. Up the Reds!! #LFC #YNWA

I still don’t get why Slot doesn’t appreciate Harvey Elliott. He’s slow and technically gifted. What else could he want?

Here's the serious bit for anyone who'd rather skip the 4000 words of jokes

I'm fine with Asnl fans celebrating their title win but it's funny how many of them are expecting the world to just forget about the millions of despairing emergency podcasts last month, demanding they replace their manager whilst still being on the cusp of unprecedented glory. Wild stuff.

ICE is targeting journalists at Delaney Hall. They’re hitting photographers, breaking fingers and smashing off lenses.

If they agree to part ways, I'll support the new guy, but he'll also need the squad fixing!! Part of me wants an end to the toxic abuse so for Slot to move on, part of me worries that's the start of a trend. 🤷‍♀️

At the 1912 Stockholm Olympics, Thorpe reached global icon status by winning gold medals in both the pentathlon and decathlon. Upon presenting his prizes, King Gustav V of Sweden told him, “Sir, you are the greatest athlete in the world,” to which Thorpe reportedly replied, “Thanks, king.” /5

A man named Markwayne, let's just pause there for a minute, wants to stop international travel into several of the world's biggest international travel hubs weeks before the World Cup plays over 50% of their matches in those cities, including the final held in New York. Brilliant. No notes.

Even after winning the title, Arsenal supporters haven’t changed their tone one bit. Nothing but bile in them.

Makes you wonder what kind of lunatics are on the jury.

The defining principle of our society is that people who were lucky during the dot com boom or Web 2.0 should have vast and ever-growing individual power over the entire world. The only acceptable check on their power is their squabbles with each other.

really want to encourage people to check this article out. we're in a time of big flux on this and a long term perspective is critical imo.

Judging our reaction to the poor season based on the transfer window is obviously a mistake. Wait for the season to get underway, please. #LFC

I hope Anfield regains some of the solidarity with the players when times are rough. I do understand mounting frustration with results and Slot’s approach to getting us out of our slump, but I’ll never boo our own players. Never. #YNWA

Slot said the story of the season was the injuries. From grief to injury, I feel for the players. The style of football may have been turgid, but Slot likely viewed that as a late-season necessity. While we reached some historic lows, champions league qualification is a notable achievement. #LFC

My favourite thing about the film The Social Network is how it shows Mark is essentially dead inside and always has been. He never cared about his platform being good or safe, and he never cared about anyone else. The closest he ever came to caring about others was caring about popularity.

Since the transition to the league phase for the last two seasons of European football, premier league sides have largely dominated. This seems likely to continue for the Europa League and Europa Conference League, but I have a nagging feeling it won’t be for long…

I’m genuinely happy for Anthony Gordon, and I’m glad he was never a red (…short of him having hidden a secret preference for LFC while at Everton)

Curtis Jones is an €80 million player in the current market. The fact that Slot doesn’t appreciate him doesn’t mean we should lowball by asking for less than half of that.

“Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn’t go away.” — Philip K. Dick

"What's the first line of Moby Dick?" "Call me Ishmael" "Ok, Ishmael. What's the first line of Moby Dick?"

Letting go of Diaz last summer was obviously a huge mistake, but I kind of get how it happened. If we let Curtis leave, there’s no excuse. #LFC

A decade ago, analysts were calling Spain a cautionary tale. Too much solar, too fast! Today, Spain is rapidly on its way to having the cheapest power in Europe. Maybe this time, solar naysayers will learn... haha, jk, they'll just move the goalposts.

I followed this trial coverage periodically throughout the day, and it’s remarkable how brazen the prosecutors were in pretending protestors linking arms with their backs to ICE is an attempt to “intimidate” and trying to stay on their feet when shoved by ICE is characterized as “pushing back”

Perez: wasn't that what you meant when you said come on fucking do it to officers Mavalwalla: no Perez: wasn't that what you meant? Mavalwalla: no one wants to get shot

Of course I know Wario is evil but I always pick him because I’m able to separate the kart from the kartist

Ignorance is the parent of fear

Quote from Robbo in the Echo . . . "Getting booed at the Hill Dickinson while playing for Scotland recently was honestly one of the highlights of my year" 🤣🤣

I’m broadening my horizons in this app. All I have now is LFC, politics, and a sprinkling of humour and cute dogs. Got any great account recommendations?

Please spread anti-war messages today. Memorial Day uses our dead loved ones as tools to promote endless senseless wars—mass murder—forever at the behest of evil #Epstein class elites. War is evil.😈

One of the things I've been most annoyed about this season is people making reference to the 'mitigating circumstances' before then talking about the #LFC campaign as if such mitigation is irrelevant. It's been the season of mitigation. Read more here: www.andcouldheplay.com/the-season-o...

Can you imagine how much more World Cup hype there would be if Trump lost in 2024?

The thing is that movies with older women in leading roles like Harold and Maude, Fried Green Tomatoes, Moonstruck, Sunset Boulevard, Steel Magnolias, The Queen, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri, anything with Dame Judi Dench, are just some of the best of cinema.

What a journey. From a goal in his first game to getting a hero’s send off 9 years later. Thank you for everything
