There needs to be a conversation about Salah and Alisson. An uncomfortable one, maybe but that’s not good enough and it hasn’t been for a long time. Mac Allister and Konate too. Gakpo shouldn’t even be considered a starter.

I’ve moved to an ambivalence on the manager rather than ‘out’ but those players are a disgrace to the shirt. Your bottom line is fight and effort. Time and again they’ve shown neither.

If one moment summed up this season it’s Konate thinking he can get back in on their first goal and thinking that he’s done enough. Complacent and he’s not the only one.

Get off the pitch. Don’t talk to the press, fuck off with your cute training ground videos and start your coaching badges. Done.

I can forgive a transitional season but these lads are trying to win games without intensity and cute flicks. They’re absolutely done.

The keeper included.

Gang of shithouses. We’re wasting our time here. Living off reputations, all of them.

Been at more crime scenes than Columbo

Ah, the crime scene …

Time for you lads to write your books now.

‘Early March, Coisty, and the daffodils are very much in bloom.’ ‘Aye Fletch, it’s good to see the wee yellow fellas after the winter we’ve had.’ ‘It just shows how much Liverpool have struggled.’ ‘Great shout!’

I got into writing for the riches it brings.

Always knew he was a gobshite.

I’ve never considered jail time before. It’ll be a badge of honour or, at the very least, a moral duty soon.

Sake

As for this gobshite ...

I had a hate page dedicated to me in the old forum days. Also, I was told that I would make Ray Kennedy's death 'all about you' by one enlightened reader. For balance though I could have been nicer to one lad who is largely unpopular here and he called me out. He's right. Not proud of that.

Big shout out to the lad who posts 'Karl Koppack talking his usual shite' after every TAW piece I write. I'll miss it if it isn't there. Bless.

Is Jimmy Carr safe?

A gentle reminder that there is more content in an article than a pull quote.

These two women are suing Andrew Tate, alleging he raped them. Here they visit the social media companies that created Tate. Please share. *one voice altered to disguise identity

Know what I miss? Businesses answering phones without using an automated gatekeeper to keep you away. Just bought my mum a chippy tea as she’s out of hospital today. Left something off the order so rang up. Voicemail.

Never ever book a holiday with TUI, they may cancel your holiday weeks because of flight issues, despite other flights being available. They also removed the loyalty bonus we received for rebooking after Covid from our refund.

Might apply for the Head of Morality role at NUFC. Oh.

Presumably Piers would like to hack the kids phones before they get bombed to perdition by an alleged paedophile.

Not being keen on bombing schools is now ‘extreme.’ Weird how everything is divided between right and left wing. Like it’s a team who’s views you just can’t hear without spitting. He is a prick, mind.

How do you block on here?

Never ever ever book a flight through eDreams. They love a hidden payment and subs clause.

Maybe he meant Bored of Peace?

If you’re wondering who the Reform (though they’ll be called Nation Number One or something) big wigs will be in two years, look at the government big wigs now. Start with Mahmoud.

Genuine question Why wasn’t Soucek booked?

Still no idea if we’re good, alright or shite. I think the answer is all three, often in the same minute.

Long give up on the idea of a controlled 2-0 home win. Just a mad game and that’s alright sometimes.

Bad management to point out that he’s at the scene of the crime again, apparently.

Had a message from someone who knew my sister.

‘Who wants to hear about my goal for the Mooby Blues v FC Twente Sausage Rolls last week?’

Subliminal voting suggestion.

Nice article. It’s about 4000 days for me. We gave up in exactly the same way. We didn’t give up, we just took a break and never went back. I do feel better for it. No hangovers and all the time not drinking frees up. Seeing how dependent our culture is once you’re not is eye opening. Well done.

Fair

‘The second time the reward was all his apart from what he had to share with the travelling contingent who got to give the biggest of big ones to a set of supporters who have made despising the best city in the country central to their essence.’ - @knoxharrington.bsky.social Not happy but …

Think the title race sums it all up. Do you want the human rights abusing regime to win? Or the one that actively supported & continued to play a known rapist & is sponsored by Rwanda, a country where “enforced disappearances” aren’t uncommon? AND IT’S LIVE.

Final weekend. One last push. This is about whether you want local plumber Hannah Spencer or the extreme Reform candidate. It's hope vs hate. It's Greens vs Reform. Hope can win.

Yep

Don’t think I’ve ever wanted a team to win based on their challenger’s human rights abuses. I don’t like Arteta but to the best of my knowledge his bosses haven’t sanctioned executions.
