@Micha_Alvez Definitely not thermals. I'd have said sweater and coat, possibly gloves!

[Alex Borg @AlexanderDBorg]

@FabrizioRomano Messi and its not even close

[Alex Borg @AlexanderDBorg]

@Ginger_Tucci It's not as good (the bacon just isn't the same) but it's a very decent copy!

@pennant83 I'd sooner Liverpool won a corner than england the World Cup.

@adamsonjon Good luck mate! No codes at all for anyone in my household ☹️

[Alex Borg @AlexanderDBorg]

@MartinSLewis Any chance they increase the personal allowance for everyone by £250?

[Alex Borg @AlexanderDBorg]

@soiree0807 @Gbemiga__A Cause 'Bradley Barcola' fits into an old song for 'Maxi Rodriguez' who used to play for Liverpool so it's quite literally just a change of the name

Apparently concert venues are having a hard time getting Millennials to fill the seats. Well, hello. Millennial here. I think I can help.

DEAR CONCERT VENUES:

🎟️ Just tell me what the ticket costs. I do not want to select a $79 ticket and discover at checkout that it is actually $146 because of a facility fee, service fee, processing fee, and a fee for having successfully paid the other fees.

📱 Stop making ticket buying a military operation. I should not need three apps, a verified fan code, a presale password from a credit card I don’t own, and 11:00 AM availability on a Tuesday to buy two seats.

💺 Assigned seats. We did our time standing shoulder-to-shoulder at shows in 2008. Some of us have mortgages now. Some of us have sciatica.

🕖 Start earlier. A 7 PM show is not embarrassing. In fact, I would like to formally recognize whoever invented the 7 PM show.

⏰ And tell us the actual times. “Doors at 7” is not useful information if the opener starts at 8:15 and the person I came to see appears at 10:07.

🚗 Parking instructions written for a normal person. Tell me which garage to use, what it costs, and whether I will spend 55 minutes trying to leave it afterward. I am willing to pay $20 for certainty.

🍺 I will buy your $14 beer. I have accepted this. But if I miss three songs waiting for it, you have broken the social contract.

🚽 Enough bathrooms. We are in our 30s and 40s. Half of us have had children. This is now infrastructure.

🔉 It can still be loud. We are Millennials, not the Greatest Generation. But some of us are bringing earplugs now and we are no longer ashamed of it.

DEAR ARTISTS:

⏰ Please go on roughly when you said you would. We have babysitters. The babysitter has an end time. This is now a logistics problem involving several adults.

🎤 Play the songs from 2004–2014. You know which ones. We know which ones. Nobody needs to pretend otherwise.

🎶 Play some new stuff. Absolutely. We support your continued artistic development. But there is a point in the evening when you need to play the song that was on our iPod Nano while we drove to high school.

📵 You can tell us to put our phones away. We secretly want someone to make us do this anyway.

🪑 An intermission would not offend us. We can use the bathroom, answer the babysitter, check whether the dog has destroyed anything, and look at Zillow for eight minutes.

And please understand: Millennials still like concerts.

We have disposable income now. We are nostalgic. We will absolutely spend irresponsible amounts of money to hear a band we first discovered on LimeWire.

But we also have jobs, children, dogs, mortgages, lower-back problems, and a very clear memory of when concert tickets cost $35.

You want Millennials back?

Make it easy to buy the ticket. Tell us when the show actually starts. Give us somewhere to sit. Play the song from 2007.

We’ll be there.

We just need to be home by 11.

Anyone want some old Liverpool programmes/fanzines before I recycle them? Free, just need to collect from Stockport! #LFC

[Alex Borg @AlexanderDBorg]

@laplfc God no.

[Alex Borg @AlexanderDBorg]

@JimmyCully Yeah was really easy. Pretty sure I got them a couple of days before the game

[Alex Borg @AlexanderDBorg]

@_melgar7 @burnersands @goal That's a different question to whether they were successful. Rush scored almost 140 goals after his return. Not bad by any measure.

[Alex Borg @AlexanderDBorg]

@_melgar7 @goal Ian Rush

@parthaskar @bmj_latest Ah, I'm so sorry for your loss Partha.

[Liverpool FC @LFC]

We are deeply saddened by the passing of the legendary Kevin Keegan and mourn his loss. His indomitable spirit and remarkable contribution will be forever etched in our history and his legacy will live on.

Rest in peace, Kevin. 1951-2026

@sonicmul @TheAnfieldWrap Same!

The number 96 has been tattooed on my wrist since 2015.

It reminds me every day that I was one of the lucky ones who came home from Hillsborough.

Today, standing in Parliament to speak as the Hillsborough Law passed was one of the proudest and most emotional moments of my life.

For the 97. For their families. For every campaigner who never gave up.

This is your legacy.
