RIP Larry Brooks. The Hall-of-Fame hockey writer was tenacious and fearless in pursuing a story. He also was a great guy. Brooksie embodied the best qualities of the sport he covered. #NYR

Masterclass from City. Doku ran thru entire #LFC side. Reds have become a dreadful road team. So passive — as highlighted by 1st goal when Liverpool had City trapped in corner and 22 passes later it was in the net. Konate w/ another nightmare performance.

#LFC getting their asses handed to them by City, but that’s a brutal offside call to wipe out Reds goal. Robertson was not in the eye line of keeper.

Fantastic series. Sucks to lose it late, but Hell Is Real lived up to its billing. #Crew96.

oh that was a lush. #Crew96

This tweet did not age well, but I’m still backing Arsenal to win league.
Yes, Arsenal made some big additions in the offseason, but as importantly they didn’t sell anyone of significance. Tossard being a prime example. They’re gonna be runaway Premier League champions.

Happy to see Stephen Warnock getting bigger Premier League assignments. Best color analyst going.

#LFC follow best game of the season w/ their best game of the season, 1-0 over Real in CL. MacAllister, who embodied Liverpool’s early struggles w/ second excellent effort, including winner. Take a bow Conor Bradley. Terrific against Vini Jr. Wirtz very good. Courtois only reason RM kept it close.

The Bengals defense looked buttoned up today compared to Cincy’s MLS outfit tonight. #Crew96
November 3, 2025 at 1:27 AM
#Crew96 have been relentless. They have contested every ball, been first to virtually every 50–50 ball. Could have sat back up two goals and a man. Nope. They have put their rivals to the sword.

When Cincinnati FC saw Wilfried in that white turtleneck, they should have just got back on the fucking bus. #crew96

Max Arfsten, you magnificent bastard. Nice finish off a great hustle from Rossi. Finally capitalizing from all that possession. #crew96

I’m a subscriber, and am loving Mike’s columns, reporting and musings.
We’re about 40 minutes from kickoff for Game 2 of first-round MLS playoff series between #Crew96 and Cincinnati. Cincy can end Darlington Nagbe’s career tonight. Look to thedisrespected.com for coverage.

The Bengals are the Great Entertainers of the NFL. They aren’t very good, especially defensively, but you can’t take your eyes off them because of the crazy shit that happens in their games.

Give Slot his flowers. Decision to rest majority of top players in Carabao Cup loss to Palace pays off in 2-0 win v Villa. Best #LFC performance in Prem League by a mile. While I want to see Wirtz starting, there’s no denying they are a better pressing team w/o him. Nice to see Mo score again.
November 1, 2025 at 10:03 PM
Slot is well within his right to sacrifice the Carabao Cup, but he’d better hope all the vets he sat in this loss to Palace show up Saturday against an in-form Villa side. Against Real Madrid next week. #LFC

Death, taxes, Sarr scoring against #LFC for Palace.

A championship performance today from Arsenal against a good Palace side. Gunners are on a mission. They have the front-line talent and the depth to lift multiple trophies come spring.
October 26, 2025 at 4:46 PM
Don’t let the penalty controversy provide cover for a piss-poor #LFC effort. Outmuscled & out-hustled by Brentford. Fourth consecutive PL loss.

Slot banked lots of credit for winning title last season, but he has no answers, and this season is rapidly spiraling out of control.
October 25, 2025 at 9:13 PM
Have lost track at how many set-piece goals #LFC have conceded.
October 25, 2025 at 7:09 PM
Even in good times, Brentford away has been a tricky fixture for #LFC. Hopefully Wirtz can build on his last three halves, and Salah can look a bit like his old self.
