@mattyo67 @KopEndFracas Class response to a disheartening defeat 👏🏻Newcastle were tactically outstanding . It’s not easy to do what they did to Liverpool with a man less. The home crowd was unreal as well. Best of luck with the season ahead!

What’s your take on Isak with days of the window left?

[Lee Wheeler-Tomes @Leetomes]

@bareejeste Why are you even bothered about Liverpool? Seriously question. EVERY premiere league club buys players EVERY summer. It’s football.

@FabrizioRomano Insane?
In the French league?
Mo Salah with 57 contributions in 52 games. (34 goals and 23 assists) Premiere League winner.
But ok. This is “insane” from Ousmane.

[Lee Wheeler-Tomes @Leetomes]

@ESPNUK That’s because there’s an agenda over Mo Salah. He’s consistently one of the best players in the league season on season. Even in an “off season”. 🙄

12 Reasons Why Cities Need More Trees:

1. Temperature Control

One large tree is equivalent to 10 air conditioning units, and the shade they provide can reduce street temperature by more than 30%.

2. Noise Reduction

Trees can reduce loudness by up to 50%. In urban areas filled with the sound of cars, construction, sirens, aeroplanes, and music, trees are essentially the best way to block noise and keep cities — along with the homes and workplaces in them — quieter.

3. Air Purity

Trees remove an astonishing amount of harmful pollutants and toxins from the air. In urban areas air quality is often disastrously bad — with severe consequences for our health. Trees make the air we breathe much cleaner.

4. Oxygen

And, while absorbing all those pollutants, trees also put more oxygen back into the urban environment. Oxygen levels are significantly lower in cities compared to the countryside; trees help to solve that problem.

5. Water Management

Trees do more than just shelter us and our buildings from rain — which is, in fact, extremely important. They also absorb huge quantities of water, reduce run-off, neutralise the severity of flooding, and make flooding more unlikely altogether. Not to forget that their roots absorb pollutants and prevent them from feeding back into a city's water supply.

6. Psychological Health

Studies have proven what we instinctively know to be true: that human beings are significantly happier when surrounded by nature rather than sterile urban environments. Our emotions, behaviour, and thoughts are shaped by the places we spend time — and trees have a profoundly positive effect on our psychology. The consequential benefits of being happier and more peaceful — as individuals and as a society — are immense.

7. Physical Health

Beyond all the other ways in which trees improve air quality and the urban environment, much to the benefit of our health, they also encourage people to go outside. Cycling, running, and walking are all more common in urban areas with plenty of trees. A knock-on effect of people spending more time outdoors is also social integration and stronger communities.

8. Privacy

A simple point, but not inconsequential, is that trees provide privacy.

9. Economics

The total economic benefit of urban trees is hard to calculate. There are costs, of course, including the repair of infrastructure damaged by roots and maintaining the trees themselves. But the total economic benefit — a consequence of everything else in this list and more — far outweighs the expenditure. Trees make cities wealthier.

10. Wildlife

Trees are miniature cities all of their own, serving as a habitat for hundreds of different species, including birds and mammals and insects.

11. Light Pollution

Trees don't only block the light shining down, therefore keeping us and our cities cooler — they also disrupt light shining up, from street lighting, cars, houses, and billboards. Skies are clearer in cities with more trees.

12. Aesthetics

And, finally, trees are beautiful. They break up the potential monotony of urban environments — the sharp geometry, the greyscale roads and buildings, the endless rows of cars — with their trunks, boughs, canopies, and flowers.

Just think: the gold and red of falling leaves in autumn, the white and pink blossom of spring, the vast green canopies of summer, and the branches lined with hoar-frost in winter. Every single tree is a myriad of intricacy and texture, of colour and scent, of dappled light on the pavement, mottled bark, knotted roots, of clustered leaves and delicate petals and stern boughs.

Few streets would not be improved by the kaleidoscopic aesthetic delights of a tree, not to mention the many different species of tree, all over the world, whether willow, oak, lime, cherry, aspen, maple, birch, horse chestnut, dogwood, hornbeam, ash, sycamore... the list goes on.

There are some drawbacks to urban trees, most of them context-specific, and they are not — of course — universally appropriate. But it seems fair to say that many cities would benefit from at least a few more trees here and there.

@Lfc__vision Wonder if there’s a player in the world with the surname Saga? Sign him? 😜

[Lee Wheeler-Tomes @Leetomes]

@DuttySZN @TheVVDRole @JBWHU02 It will be for the promos you see on sky sports / BT. They’ll be editing it together to that song with different players saying it. Seems daft looking at it like this but it won’t when the edit is done.

@JHenderson don’t go mate! 😭😭😭
The reds still need you.

@TheRedmenTV Reckon Madrid would let us have Bellingham for £120 million? 😉👀

@McDonaldsUK I think I speak for the entirety of planet earth when I say the double chocolate pie should be a permanent fixture on the menu. Make it happen! Thankyou, please. 🙏🤤

@TheRedmenTV If Liverpool do end up finishing runners up this season it would be the 5th time we’ve finished 2nd in the Premiere League era. (2002, 2009, 2014, 2019, 2022). What would your “runner up 11” team be? You have to pick a minimum of 2 players from each year.

@SonyUK what on earth is going on with the @PlayStation 5 stock in the UK? It’s getting ridiculous. 7 months since release and it’s near on impossible to buy one. Any updates?

[Lee Wheeler-Tomes @Leetomes]

@JHenderson Can’t wait to see you life the league trophy Jordan. You’ve been immense this season. Delighted the injury isn’t serious 💪🏻 #YNWA

[Lee Wheeler-Tomes @Leetomes]

@TheRedmenTV Yeeeeeees Red men!!! That’s more like it. Filthy performance. Absolutely superb.

@TheRedmenTV Our best 90 minutes of the season!! An absolutely outstanding performance. At 2-0 everyone outfielder was getting nines and tens. Adrian... It’s not all his fault. But that first one knocked the stuffing out of us at a critical time. Our response was embarrassing though.
