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.”

Ah no this has killed me off

[Mohamed Salah @MoSalah]

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.

Glad we're seeing such high standards on the pitch and not just in the gym

🚨🎙️ Thierry Henry on Liverpool.

🗣️ “In my whole career, I’ve never seen a club spend over £500M and become this bad…
You invest that kind of money and expect progress, structure, identity… but what I’m seeing is the complete opposite.

There’s no clear system, no consistency, no fear factor anymore. Teams don’t respect Liverpool like they used to.
From one of the most feared sides in Europe… to a team everyone looks at and believes they can beat.

That should never happen at a club of this level.
I’m sorry, but this is unacceptable. This isn’t a rebuild… this is a collapse.”

Don’t mind us. Just getting all misty-eyed over Fernando Torres at Liverpool.

Liverpool have lost nine of their last 12 games. Meanwhile, Jurgen Klopp is on Instagram blind ranking American foods 😅

[Peter Bolster @peter_bolster]

On the eve of the new season without Diogo, it’s hard not to think of all we’ve lost.

He’d just gotten married. Just lifted a Premier League title. Just scored the kind of derby goal that seals legacies. He wasn’t slowing down. He was entering his prime. Stepping into a new chapter under Slot, with creativity ready to reshape the attack. Imagine how many more chances he’d have had. How many he’d had taken. And now he’s gone. Alongside his younger brother André. A crash. A loss. A silence.

And somehow, a song.

In the days since, it hasn’t stopped playing in my head. His chant. That melody. That feeling. That rhythm we sang for him - not because we were told, not because the club hyped it, but because he made us want to. Because he earned it. Because he never asked.

There’s a type of footballer Liverpool fans adore. The ones who don’t chase headlines. Who get knocked down, get back up and get on with it. Who don’t beg for love, but get it anyway because they show up. Jota was exactly that.

Not the most followed on Instagram. Not the most marketable. Not the flashiest boots. But he turned up - in the big games, the tight games, the moments where others went missing.

Think about it. Spurs at Anfield. Wolves away. City, Arsenal, United. Forest in the Cup. Forest away in the league with his first touch. He didn’t pad stats. He changed outcomes. When we needed a goal, needed a break, needed a bloody miracle, Jota was there. Half a yard. Back post. Low finish. Boom.

He wasn’t loud. But he was always heard. That’s what made the chant perfect.
Most songs are for stars. Jota wasn’t that. Didn’t want to be. But we sang. And it stuck.
Born out of love, but also joy. A happy song with a bounce, a rhythm, and unmistakably his.

He sang it too. Remember that moment? One arm in the air, laughing, half-shouting the words back to the fans. Not a man obsessed with his own brand, just someone overwhelmed that people cared.

That’s the thing. He didn’t need the adoration, which made us give it more freely.
He had a knack for goals that felt bigger than they should - ones that didn’t just change the scoreline but shifted the mood. Not always the opener. Not always the headline. But the one that tipped the balance, cracked the tension, made you believe again. That was Jota. The one that tilted everything.

He played like a man who knew the value of time. That urgency. That snap. It makes a grim kind of sense now. He didn’t waste minutes. He squeezed them. Like they mattered. Like he knew.

My favourite Jota goal is also my least favourite, because I took it for granted. I was so caught up in the relief, in the emotion. We’d kept the gap to Arsenal. The title was on the brink. The derby was being won. That was what mattered - the result, the breathing space. Number 20. Not Jota.

I thought I had time. Thought I’d see it again and again. That’s the thing - we take things for granted. We plan them like certainties. Assume there’ll always be a next time. But there isn’t.

That goal sums him up. Liverpool were flat. I was convinced we might not score. It felt like Goodison two months before, tension clinging to everything. But Jota shifted it. His will to win, that tenacity, that instinct, dragged the ball into the net. That was the difference. That was Diogo. A real winner. A match-definer.

His brother André, who wasn’t just family but his best friend. Diogo once said André was his favourite player to watch. That says everything.

And Rute’s words - “One month of our ‘until death do us part’. Forever, your white girl” - have broken the entire fanbase. Because the love was real. And the loss is total.

You don’t retire numbers for just anyone. Liverpool never had. Until now.

There are tribute programmes and the banners and black-and-white images of him lifting the Premier League trophy. But what hits hardest is that the chant doesn’t stop.

It’s on loop.

And that’s how it should be. And we’ll sing it now for a hundred years. For Diogo.❤️🇵🇹

Our lad from Portugal. Forever ❤️

🖤 Diogo Jota - The Whistle's Blown Far Too Soon

Finding it hard to write these words, fingers trembling as I type. Diogo Jota is gone. Just days after marrying the love of his life, standing proudly in a church with his new wife Rute and their three young children, he and his brother Andre are lost in a road accident in Spain. A family torn apart, futures stolen in silence.

Jota was 28. A player in his prime, a Premier League champion, a Nations League winner, an #LFC forward who played the game with bite and purpose. But that’s not why this hurts so much. It’s because he carried himself with quiet dignity, a humility rare in modern football. He didn’t shout for attention, he earned respect by how he played, how he worked, how he made you believe.

He scored goals that lifted stadiums, but he never chased the spotlight. His joy seemed rooted not in fame, but in the chance to play, to contribute, to belong. And so we embraced him. Because we saw something of ourselves in him. Not the talent, not the trophies, but the effort, the heart, the sense of duty.

This morning we wake up in a world that makes less sense. A young father gone, a brother gone, a family grieving beyond words. And we grieve too, from afar. Because somehow, through the screen and the songs and the match days, they became part of our lives.

You never knew us, Diogo, but we knew you. And we will never forget. #YNWA #RIPJota #DiogoJota

NEW: @UNHumanRights NY Office Director @CraigMokhiber resigns in protest over timidity of key parts of #UN system on issues pertaining to Palestinian Human Rights. In letter to @volker_turk he says: "This is a text-book case of genocide. The European, ethno-nationalist, settler colonial project in Palestine has entered its final phase, toward the expedited destruction of the last remnants of indigenous Palestinian life in #Palestine."

one of the more abject interviews I’ve seen. to talk so heartlessly to someone who discloses losing family members and still has to maintain civil in the face of such belligerent agenda is utterly depraved

One year ago, Shireen Abu Akleh was murdered by Israeli forces in broad daylight.

She was killed because she gave a voice to Palestinians in pursuit of the truth.

We cannot — and will not — stop until we have justice.
