@Arkaylaband Phenomenal supporting the Lathums, brilliant tonight in Liverpool. Great to see the band at both gigs in person. Excited about what’s next… 👌🏽🎸🙌🏻
"I assume Iraola's gonna use him in a '10' and has, throughout his time at Bournemouth pressed with the '9' and '10'."
"I think he's a potential Footballer of the Year type of footballer but I do think that we need to see a bit more personality."

Jürgen Klopp on Divock Origi retiring from professional football:
🗣️ “When people talk about great Liverpool players, they often talk about the biggest names, the Ballon d'Or winners, the captains and the superstars who played every single week.
But Divock Origi was different. He created a legacy in a completely different way and became one of the most loved players this club has ever had.
He had a special gift for appearing exactly when Liverpool needed him most and turning impossible moments into unforgettable memories. Somehow, whenever the pressure was at its highest, Divock found a way to make something extraordinary happen.
The goals against Barcelona, the goals against Everton, the Champions League moments — these are not just goals. These are pieces of Liverpool history that supporters will remember for the rest of their lives.
What made Divock special was not just his quality, but his mentality. In modern football, many players become frustrated when they are not starting every week, but he was never like that.
He never complained, never created problems, and never stopped believing that his moment would come. Every single day in training he worked with the same hunger and professionalism.
Some players need to play every week to feel important. Some need constant attention and recognition.
Divock could wait for months, step onto the pitch for ten minutes, and change the course of a season. That mentality is incredibly rare and something every manager dreams of having in a squad.
The dressing room loved him, the supporters adored him, and his teammates trusted him completely because they knew he could deliver when it mattered most.
Football will remember trophies and statistics. Liverpool will remember the man who always seemed to arrive when history needed a hero and when miracles were required.
For me, Divock Origi will always be a Liverpool legend, not because he played the most games, but because he gave Liverpool some of its most unforgettable moments.”
Former Bayern Club President Uli Hoeness on the club's season ticket prices:
"We could charge more than £104. Let's say we charged £300. We'd get £2m more in income, but what's £2m to us?
"In a transfer discussion you argue about that sum for five minutes. But the difference between £104 and £300 is huge for the fan. We do not think the fans are like cows, who you milk.
"Football has got to be for everybody. That's the biggest difference between us and England."
The words are years old but the sentiment has never been more relevant. While Bayern keep their season ticket prices amongst the most accessible in European football, clubs in this country continue to price ordinary supporters out of the game. Some are charging five, six, seven times what Bayern ask of their fans.

But not himself, of course.
Isn’t it mad how you could hear chants of “The Sun was right, you’re murderers” today quite clearly and there’s just zero mention of it in the national media. Just an accepted thing at this point. And you can’t even write that off as a few bad apples. It’s a significant %.
🚨🎙️Jamie Carragher blasts Liverpool players for playing a game of one-touch in the old Trafford tunnel.
🗣️ “One-touch in the Old Trafford tunnel? Honestly, I’m embarrassed watching that. This isn’t a school playground, this is Manchester United away. You’re there to fight, not show off your first touch like you’re on YouTube.
That tells me they’ve got it completely wrong upstairs. No aggression, no seriousness, just a bunch of players enjoying the moment. And then they walk out and get slapped in the first 20 minutes. You reap what you sow.
When I played, you’d be staring your opponent down in that tunnel, ready to go through him. This lot? Smiling, flicking it about, acting like it’s a testimonial. It’s weak. Proper weak.
And don’t give me quality; this isn’t about ability, it’s about mentality. You can have all the talent in the world, but if you’re treating Old Trafford like a kickabout before kick-off, you’re already beaten before the whistle’s gone.”
I once said something mildly critical of Ferguson to Dalglish. Kenny pulled me up. ‘He’s the first one on the phone offering help if you’ve got a problem. He was first on the phone after Hillsborough.’ Don’t be like Neill
All for respect & good manners - not enough of either anywhere. But….. may I respectfully suggest that if you don’t want your badge walked on, don’t paint it on the floor where people walk. Football really is overdoing (fake?) upset at the smallest things
All the talk about the handball Everton were denied, but somehow that are conveniently ignoring this. Not only a blatant penalty but reckless in the extreme. (And we all know he has previous)
