Hearing the whistle for kick off at 2am when you’ve been trying to stay awake to watch Iran v New Zealand.

[Jason Galvin @galv93]

@NeilMac555 According to Squawka it's De Paul & sometimes Alvarez. Messi when he's on the field so probably too much variation there.

[Jason Galvin @galv93]

@NeilMac555 Yeah true & not an assist for England in quite awhile but most of them for England have come in clusters.

[Jason Galvin @galv93]

@NeilMac555 Yamal's fitness is going to affect a lot of markets.

[Tom Peck @tompeck]

Well it’s a good job the football thing worked out because he’s got no future as a smuggler.

[Jason Galvin @galv93]

Slott gone - correct decision by the club

Iraola fav - love his style of play but he's never had to deal with both domestic & European football before as manager

Lets hope PSG go back to back CL's tonight & Luis Enrique has taken them as far as he can

[- @AnfieldRd96]

It's sad the way it ended, but will forever be grateful.

Thank you for number 20, Arne Slot.

[Kopoholic @TheKopoholic]

@FabrizioRomano Thanks for everything Arne Slot ❤️

[Jason Galvin @galv93]

Exactly my thoughts

[The Kop Watch @TheKopWatch]

I love Adam Wharton as a player but I feel we need legs in midfield more than anything, so if we get him, we NEED someone else too, surely, and I just can't see it.

[Jason Galvin @galv93]

@Seun_000 @Voidses123 He's unbelievably good.... the passing is world class. But the current midfielders we have won't compliment him very well. Who's going to be the athletic one doing all the running next to him?

[Neil Mac @NeilMac555]

So I built a World Cup companion type thingy, it's packed with information stats, really a lot of work went into this.

I don't want a penny from you, hope some of you find it in some way useful, dropping into my Telegram and Substack later

[Jason Galvin @galv93]

@NeilMac555 That's top class stuff lad. Everything you want.

Henderson strangely got shit for going to Saudi which was a load of nonsense. Great to see him get a standing ovation from Anfield. My captain.❤️ #LFC

Robertson open letter

It feels a bit self-important writing a letter like this, if I’m honest. But when I was asked, I didn’t want to miss the chance to say thank you to a city and a community that has made me and my family feel like one of their own from day one.

Let me start with something that probably sounds more suited to a letter in The Herald back in Glasgow.

I’m a proud Glaswegian. I always will be. I love telling people where I’m from. It’s part of who I am. It’s where I was born, where I was raised and it’ll forever be in my blood.
But after nine years here, I’ve realised there’s room in my heart for two cities.
Liverpool will forever define a huge part of my life.

Honestly, I think the reason me and my family settled so quickly is because Liverpool reminded us so much of home.

The humour, the people, the mentality — it all felt familiar straight away. At times it genuinely feels like Glasgow and Liverpool are only separated by two different accents.

Both cities have that working-class spirit. Pride. Defiance. People who say what they think. No airs and graces. What you see is what you get.

And more than anything, both places value honesty. There’s something real about Liverpool. People here can spot nonsense a mile off, and I’ve always respected that.

I know from the outside my connection to this city will always be tied to the football club and everything we achieved together. Of course I’m immensely proud of that. How could I not be?

But for me and my wife, our bond with Merseyside goes much deeper than football.

Rachel and I arrived in 2017 as a young couple expecting our first child. Like me, Rach is fiercely proud of being from Glasgow. We actually went to school together, which probably tells you how long she’s had to put up with me.

Looking back now, we probably underestimated how daunting it was — moving to a new city, away from family, about to become parents for the first time.

But Liverpool instantly made us feel comfortable. And the incredible people at Liverpool Women’s Hospital made us feel safe at a time in our lives where that meant everything.

Over the nine years, two became five. Liverpool is where our little team was built.

A lot of teammates — mainly James Milner to be fair — loved winding me up about being captain of Scotland while having three kids born in England. But I’m always quick to correct them. They’re not English. We’ve got three proper little Scottish Scousers.

And honestly, we couldn’t be prouder of that.

The kids probably sum us up best really — Glaswegians with a Liverpool passport.
My wider family feel exactly the same way about this city.

[Empire of the Kop @empireofthekop]

Trent was a brilliant player for Liverpool.

He had clear defensive flaws, but what he could do with the ball, his attacking output and his passing range made him one of the most unique players in the world.

We all loved him: a Scouser, a Liverpool fan and an academy graduate.

He was appointed vice-captain with a view to him being the man who could eventually replace Virgil van Dijk and become the new Steven Gerrard - a local lad who captained his club to great things.

Instead, he allowed his contract to run down, left on a virtual free transfer to Real Madrid and burned a lot of bridges with Liverpool fans in the process.

One of the many daggers in the back for Liverpool supporters was him learning Spanish while still at the club, clearly preparing for a move away while publicly stating that he was still thinking about his future.

Then there was his declaration that he wanted to win the Ballon d’Or, which felt like him putting himself before Liverpool, before the club, and before the people who were supposed to be his own.

Because of that, Trent was booed towards the end of his Liverpool stay and again, heavily, as a Real Madrid player.

Now, after supposedly leaving for bigger and better things, he has not made the World Cup squad in a season where Real Madrid have not won a trophy either.

It feels like Trent is getting his rewards for betraying his people and his club.

No doubt he will come back and shine again, but why did he leave Liverpool? For what? A trophyless season and to watch the World Cup at home?

And good luck with that Ballon d’Or dream. Right now, he's not even seen as the best player in his position in his own nation, never mind the best player in the world.

It hurts so much because he was a great player, but he has made a mistake.

Down 3-0 in a European Final and still singing like this… 🤍❤️

This is what real football culture looks like. 💯

[Jason Galvin @galv93]

@Only1tommo @schoudshady I'm a Liverpool fan who's been to Goodison Park 5 times in the home end for Merseyside Derbies and twice at Old Trafford in the home end for UTD v LFC.... No way can you reveal yourself. Just keep your mouth shut and watch the game or what do you expect...

[Jason Galvin @galv93]

5 points separating 19th to 8th place in La Liga.

Deportivo Alaves who were 19th at the start of the day yesterday beat Champions Barcelona 1-0 last night....

And they say only in the Premier League can the bottom teams beat the top teams.
