Wowsers. It’s fun watching football when you don’t really care what happens!

Mo Salah completed more dribbles (5) vs Aston Villa than *the rest of his 25/26 season combined*.
5 more vs Real tonight, so 10 in 2 games matching the total from his previous 20 (twenty) #LFC appearances

Regulars will know that we publish a statspack for each game.
Using the Monte Carlo for each match we can create an xPoints model.
When you look at the 9 games in totality you can see the absolutely wild journey #lfc have taken to end up exactly where we deserve to be based on our performances

Pulp have been nominated for the Mercury Prize four times.

The second time, when they won for Different Class, Norma Waterson was also nominated.
The third time, Norma's daughter Eliza Carthy was nominated.
The fourth time, Eliza's dad, Norma's husband, Martin Carthy was nominated.

The BBC are accidentally running the subtitles to Mrs Marple over the Mercury Prize, and it’s rather wonderful. A few of lines could plausibly have been written by Jarvis.

Would quite like Mo to stop kicking it into defenders’ legs for a bit

You start well in the game, and then several bad individual decisions within the space of 30 seconds and you’re behind. We’re not being outplayed here; far from it. But it’s hard to see us coming back and that’s not a pleasant feeling

The Reds were superb second half, there. Poor touches from Mo aside, we used the space and ball really well once they’d run themselves into the ground. Excellent defending, particularly of the penalty area, and hopefully that last 30 mins will kick Wirtz on

A bittersweet listen for me. We have just lost a friend who would have absolutely devoured this, and I’m grateful to Juliet and Ed for making me smile today. Give it a listen. It promises to be an informative and funny journey through the last 30 years of British chart music
Greetings, pop fans! 30yrs ago today the outcome of this HEAVYWEIGHT CLASH was announced...Join our maiden trip through the UK Chart of 20 Aug 95 for who won, what genre of music winds Juliet up and the banger still doing it for Ed and his family down the kiddie discos of Europe! linktr.ee/ChartLife

My firm “no bigots” policy is in place for #LFC & I think someone at the club should be made to explain why they think it’s ok to sign Marc Guehí. Don’t bother with any of your weak as shit excuses for him either. He has never written “Jesus 🖤 You” on the regular armband, so why the rainbow one?

"The former Paris Saint-Germain man bettered Isak for both non-penalty xG and xG Assisted last season. That will count for a lot..."

Ekitike is a Red. I wrote about him last week, the paywall is now gone. Give it a read, tell your friends: www.andrewbeasleyfootball.com/p/alexander-...
Alexander Isak or Hugo Ekitike?
Liverpool, Newcastle and Eintracht Frankfurt are locked in something of a triangle regarding two strikers. Which way should the Reds turn?

As part of my new book on the Kennedy assassination, I’m writing a “Where were you?” chapter. I’m after interesting stories from people about what they were doing when they heard about the assassination. Reply here or DM me.

I realise most of you are ineligible, due to age, so RTs appreciated.

So it turns out my aunt is friends with the actress Pam Ferris, who famously played Miss Trunchbull in the 90s film of Matilda. I learnt this today when my daughter, whose name is Matilda, received an unexpected letter in the post, with a card attached from a very fearsome lady...
