Keep thinking of when Disney tried to sue the BBC when Alexei Sayle’s Stuff parodied Snow White and the BBC legal person was heard to say, ‘Fuck Disney, we’re the BBC.’

Could have done without *this* game today. Could have used a banker just to keep the little run going and build some confidence. The type of fixture United always seemed to get when they needed it. We're so fragile. Any hiccup, we crumble. And absolutely everything went against us today. Miserable.

We've been mugged right off from minute one here. Haven't helped ourselves, but what a fucking miserable half of football.

Just heard a lady on the bus:
"I just went to Costa.... and that Costa lotta money, I'll tell you."

New on Always Liverpool | At the final whistle, there was only one right back worth talking about.
Against Real Madrid, Conor Bradley ensured Liverpool left the past behind
Conor Bradley made his predecessor an afterthought with a relentless display against Real Madrid. It was a page-turningly great performance from the Liverpool fullback.

Really enjoyed this! James has some brilliant and quite touching stories about his time following the Reds. Going on a hunt for the print paper in Shrewsbury today!
Had a good chat with @bychrissmith.bsky.social about @thecoral.bsky.social and LFC for Blood Red. Pick up a copy when you’re out and about.

Most enjoyable @theliverpoolway.bsky.social pod I've helmed in a while, with Dave and Jules. Nice to come on feeling really positive. Brilliant from all the lads. Hopefully a springboard into Sunday. Repeat that level and intensity and we'll snot 'em.

Alexis Mac Allister's second half header finally broke the resistance of Thibault Courtois and secured an impressive win for the Reds in what was clearly their best performance of the season so far.

Updated my Mac to macOS 26 and the cheesy Liquid Glass design feels so much worse on the desktop interface. It's like Junior's Baby's First Operating System with all these rounded bubbles and UI elements.

Steven Warnock, you are absolutely the worst pundit to ever hold a microphone at a football match.
"I don't think Mac Allister has needs to get involved, look at his arms!" after Onana fucking chokeslams him and then executes a picture perfect DDT a la Jake "The Snake" Roberts.
Knobhead!
