Just been for a drive around Liverpool

[Tim Adams @TimAdams76]

I thought that next year's London Marathon would be popular but the figures released this morning are pretty astonishing:

- A world record 1,338,544 people have applied for the 2027 London Marathon
- Over one million from the UK and 300,000 international applications
- Almost two percent of the entire UK adult population entered the ballot
- More than double the applications for the 2024 London Marathon (578,304)
- Almost 100k people from the US (92k) applied
- Highest number of UK applicants were women aged 20-29 (179k)

🗓️ On This Day | 2004

Liverpool 3-1 Olympiacos | Wednesday 8th December

⚽️ Florent Sinama-Pongolle 47'
⚽️ Neil Mellor 80'
⚽️ Steven Gerrard 86'

"Mellor... lovely cushioned header, for GERRAAAAAARRRRRDDDD!!!!!!"

[Luke Reddy @LukeReddy]

First time watching Merthyr in 20 years. Brilliant game of football. Had been told by a colleague the full-back has a wand of a right foot. He did this at 2-0 down. The chest down gives it the Mellor to Gerrard Olympiakos vibe. Several rainbows followed this hit. Rightly so.

Fantastic from Brighton, this. A massively important message delivered very well.

[Luke Reddy @LukeReddy]

@ptgorst Alisson has also only made one save - a tame one - in 190 minutes.

@cmckennasport The quality of the work on Hatton is super pal. You’re superb at what you do and I’ll look forward to see what is next in line. Hope you’re all good.

[Living Liverpool @Livin_Liverpool]

There’s no midfielder like Steven Gerrard, look at that collection of strikes 🚀

[Vyber(fan) @_Mac_lfc]

The most aesthetically pleasing goal you’ll see.

[Killi 🧉 @KM_243_]

The goal, the celebration, the crowd, the ball boy… this is one of the most beautiful goals ever…

Boss

[Watch LFC @Watch_LFC]

This is the sort of thing we should have done to announce our signings this summer.

Well done @adidasfootball 👏

[Reverry @EfranAlexander]

Insane line breaking pass by Van Dijk. One of the best progressive passes I’ve ever seen. Fizzed it on the ground like Gerrard used to.

[Liverpool FC @LFC]

The view from the Kop 😮‍💨🎥

[Opta Analyst @OptaAnalyst]

Every single Liverpool player on the pitch was involved in Rio Ngumoha's match-winning goal against Newcastle last night.

The only involvement that Ngumoha had in the move was the shot - his first in the Premier League.

[Luke Reddy @LukeReddy]

“Newcastle were undressed…”

@mprwilson Defo going to need the options as it wears on. There’s a lot to be said for players in a squad who keep covering grass when it’s not going well. Sometimes those guys turn your luck or shift the flow. As well as he did at RB, we missed his legs in middle in that battle I felt.

[Luke Reddy @LukeReddy]

Two weeks in a row he’s kept plugging away when things got ugly. Massive contributions flying under the radar.

[ESPN FC @ESPNFC]

Liverpool, who were without any fully fit right backs vs. Newcastle, had to play midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai at RB.

He put in a shift playing out of position and capped it off with an incredible dummy to set up the winning goal 👏
