Holy water cannot help you now
See, I've come to burn your kingdom down
And no rivers and no lakes can put the fire out
I'm gonna raise the stakes
I'm gonna smoke you out
To be honest, most of Florence's work is genius level, but this is the chefs kiss
See, I've come to burn your kingdom down
And no rivers and no lakes can put the fire out
I'm gonna raise the stakes
I'm gonna smoke you out
To be honest, most of Florence's work is genius level, but this is the chefs kiss
What’s the best song lyric in history?

It's a young man's game.
Except if you're Leeds.
Can't help but think the sliver of green for Brighton is pretty much Groß and Milner too.

Everyone talks about the size of a club's transfer expenditure - but how often do we compare what it was spent on?
For @theathleticfc.bsky.social, I've had a look at 2025-26 Premier League teams' spending by age, and what it tells us about those teams:

How is that not Haaland getting sent off? He's clearly pulled Szoboszlai's shirt and nothing.

I've taken a deep dive into how much dominance my Bayer 04 showed over a Bundesliga season when winning our 14th consecutive title.

Bayer Leverkusen 2043-44 – Domestic dominance, defensive brilliance or downright luck?
After winning the Bundesliga for the fourteenth (14th) year in a row, by a total of 12 points, I wanted to see how dominant we'd become over the course of this season to get a sense of how far ahead of the rest of the league we are. Sure the points difference tells a story, but it's a simplified one.

Is there an irony that a club once run by a host of The Apprentice is run like a soap opera where they keep going through managers and actively want the board to keep doing the same, whilst simultaneously having low approval rating of said board?

Wirtz is the 32nd different Liverpool player Salah has assisted.
Since the start of the Klopp era, only five other players have even got at least 32 assists for the club.

Contextually, Ibou Konaté is PoM tonight (and would have been actually if that had gone in), but in reality it is Wirtz
Also, how nice is it to end the game fizzing rather than wondering whether we were going to inevitably concede again from a set piece?!

Florian Wirtz has a goal or assist every 93 minutes across his last 11 appearances for Liverpool 🔥🔥🔥

So you're saying the Liverpool players won't fall off a cliff fitness wise in the second half?

Ball was in play 22 mins in a 50 min half. Eddie Howe and his team should be fired into the sea.

Notice now how much faster they are moving the ball and more direct they are being

Liverpool cannot play this slowly and short and win. They will get caught, run through and eventually Newcastle will find a meaningful shot on target
Watch how many times Liverpool players don't bring the ball under control properly with their first touch. Far too often
