I have witnessed this club go from doubters to believers, and from believers to champions. It took hard work and I always did everything I could to help the club get there. Nothing makes me prouder than that.
Us crumbling to yet another defeat this season was very painful and not what our fans deserve. I want to see Liverpool go back to being the heavy metal attacking team that opponents fear and back to being a team that wins trophies. That is the football I know how to play and that is the identity that needs to be recovered and kept for good. It cannot be negotiable and everyone that joins this club should adapt to it.
Winning some games here and there is not what Liverpool should be about. All teams win games.
Liverpool will always be a club that means a great deal to me and to my family. I want to see it succeed for long after I have moved on.
As I’ve always said, qualifying to next season’s Champions League is the bare minimum and I will do everything I can to make that happen.
We had Minamino scoring, Ox scoring as a false 9, Origi scoring as a LW I just can’t buy it’s these players.
Good managers make it work, otherwise the premier league would be pointless and every position would be decided on who has the best players
Look closely. Between these two moments, our species has performed miracles. We have mapped the blueprint of life within our own DNA. We have built “brains” of silicon that can outthink their creators. We have pushed back the darkness of disease. Infant mortality has plummeted, and millions of children who would have been lost to the earth in 1972 are today alive, dreaming, and contributing to the global chorus. We have sent robotic emissaries to the edge of the interstellar dark and peered back at the beginning of time itself through mirrors of gold.
Technologically, we are a different species. We are more connected, more informed, and more capable than any ancestor could have imagined in their wildest fever dreams.
And yet, look again.
From this distance, the borders remain invisible. You cannot see the “holy” ground over which we spill the blood of our children. You cannot see the walls we build to keep our neighbors out or the ideological trenches we dig to bury our common humanity. Despite our leap from vacuum tubes to artificial intelligence, we remain haunted by the same ancient tribalisms. We use 21st century technology to prosecute Bronze Age grudges.
We have changed the climate of our world, but we have yet to change the climate of our hearts. We are still a toddler civilization, playing with matches in a library of irreplaceable wonders.
The contrast is our great paradox. We have the power of gods, but we still possess the temperaments of the territorial primates from which we rose. We have learned to fly between worlds, but we are still struggling to learn how to walk together on this one.
When you are reading a truly great book, it immediately becomes apparent how bland, how linguistically vulgar, broken and bankrupt all political and, more widely, public speech is; how predictable and formulaic the language of newspapers has become; how clichéd most thinking truly is; how much time you squander on the endless stream of 'popular' podcasters; and, above all, how much you deprive yourself of when you neglect the riches of great literature.
The bleakest thing about screens is how they’ve destroyed the concept of pleasure. People don’t dance anymore. They don’t read. They don’t have hobbies. If Big Tech has its way, there will be no more writing fiction or making music. Everyone is entertained and no one is happy.
The smartphone era has been an extinction level event for hobbies. So many pastimes have disappeared or are in the process of disappearing into the glowing event horizon of the screen
“Why are folks getting dumber?” Because they don’t read. “Why aren’t men as romantic & poetic as they used to be?” Because they don’t read. “Why are people so vulnerable to propaganda?” “Why is everyone a conspiracy theorist?” Because they don’t read. Because they don’t read.
Hugh Grant: "It's been very, very depressing watching Big Tech kidnap their lives, and to see children really finding it very, very difficult to get properly interested in anything that isn't a screen."
This is a very good cause. The vast majority of Western countries teach history to all children until the age of 16, but not Britain. We should do better!
