There is not a single athlete greater in history than this, not a single one. I don’t wanna hear Messi (who always had it far easier in comparison when it comes to conditions), NBA players (far less physically tough) or anyone else, this man is it. The greatest of all time.
Novak Djokovic isn't just the greatest tennis player of all time but he's easily one of the greatest athletes too. How many 39 year olds could go 5 hours 15 minutes under high pressure like that? He's a freak of nature.
Virgil Van Dijk scoring in a World Cup at 34 years of age.
At this stage of their careers:
• Rio Ferdinand was playing at QPR.
• Nemanja Vidic had already retired.
• John Terry was 31 and had already played his last game for England.
Yet Van Dijk is still captaining club and country, competing at the highest level, and delivering on the biggest stage.
Longevity. Consistency. Leadership.
The greatest centre-back of his generation isn't a debate anymore.
It's Virgil Van Dijk 🐐
"Don't get us started on Hendo"
Theres so much we don't see as football fans, leadership is generally one of them.
So easy to be cynical and many will on here I'm sure, but rolling your eyes gets you knowhere. You can see how much JH brings to this group
It's a shame it had to end like this, but we'll always be grateful to Arne Slot for bringing us number 20.
The way he handled the Jota situation will never be forgotten either. Thank you, Arne. All the best in the future.
I genuinely despise Jamie Carragher and the English media for how they have portrayed Salah and how they’ve spent all season bashing him.
He is 1 of 1.
One of my favourites ever Robbo. People talk about Trent.. and rightly so, he was brilliant.. but Robbo was every bit as good on the other side. If there was one player you could always count on to run through a brick wall for Liverpool over the last decade, it was him. Legend.
🚨🗣️ 𝗡𝗘𝗪: Andy Robertson on why Liverpool's season went so bad:
“What happened in the summer with Diogo Jota… nobody could have prepared us for that. The first time I saw my teammates again after the trophy parade was on the way to one of our mate's funeral.”
"And I DON'T want to use this as an excuse, but we CANNOT hide away from this. It's been tough, and we can't hide away from this. Diogo Jota was one of our BEST mates."

I like how all of these are ignoring that like 90% of the squad have liked the post whilst they’re all away in Monaco together.
Now I dunno about you, but if somebody posted something that pissed me off, I wouldn’t go like and comment on it
Some people just hate the fact Mo Salah doesn’t just fall in line and give media trained answers, his attitude and will to win made him the great player he is, he has the highest standards of himself and the football club, if he’s speaking maybe people should listen instead of criticising him, he has nothing to gain from saying what he said, he knows he’ll get backlash, he could just get his big farewell and leave a legend but the future of the club is more important to him than that, maybe if the manager had those standards we wouldn’t have lost 20 games this season.
The most beautiful thing about Salah is even on his way out he’s trying to make sure that this club can remain successful.
Thank you Mo for helping to set the standards of this club so high. ❤️🇪🇬
I'm sorry but why the fuck are we allowing this fella to be shown the door before Slot. It's blatantly obvious he wants to stay and he still has something to offer here.
