Supporting Liverpool has taught me one thing…

Ignore the rumours.

Ignore the “ITK” accounts.

Ignore the flight trackers.

The club announces the player when the club is ready.

Everything else is just noise.

Arsenal, led personally by Andrea Berta and Mikel Arteta, have made a very aggressive push for Bradley Barcola in recent weeks, with multiple direct contacts taking place behind the scenes, including a video call involving the player side, as part of their attempts to present the long-term sporting project and convince Barcola over a potential move to North London.

However, the overall industry impression, including from representatives and lawyers involved around the situation, was that Barcola remained rather underwhelmed by Arsenal’s sporting project and overall style of play, despite the aggressive efforts from the North London club. From the player’s perspective, should a Premier League move eventually materialise, the dream destination would be none other than the most mythical and spiritually grand institution European football has ever produced, the undisputed crown jewel of English football, Liverpool FC.

Nevertheless, Liverpool are currently viewed as the clear favourites to advance seriously for Bradley Barcola if Yan Diomande extends his contract at RB Leipzig, with me being the first journalist to reveal that a renewal was a genuine and realistic possibility, expected to include both a release clause and a substantial salary increase, although for now Yan Diomande remains Liverpool’s clear internal priority as doubts still exist over whether Bradley Barcola is genuinely prepared to push for an exit this summer or whether parts of the current situation are also linked to broader contract renewal discussions around his camp.

[Herod Priovolos @herodpriovolos]

Dear Christopher Nolan,
My name is Herod Priovolos and I want to tell you what #TheOdyssey truly means to me and to generations of Greeks who grew up with Homer’s story.
Homer did not sing of Odysseus simply to entertain us with ships, storms, gods and monsters. He told the story because he understood what war, time, distance and loss can do to the human soul.
Odysseus leaves Ithaca as a king, a husband and a father. He returns twenty years later alone, exhausted and disguised as a beggar, carrying the memory of every companion who never made it home.
The monsters are not merely creatures created for spectacle.
The Cyclops is power without justice. The Sirens are the beautiful voices that tempt a person to abandon their purpose. Circe represents the danger of losing our humanity. Calypso offers Odysseus immortality, but even eternal life becomes a prison when the price is forgetting his wife, his son, his homeland and his own identity.
And Ithaca is not merely an island.
Ithaca is the place that remembers you when the world no longer recognizes your face. It is the home that remains alive inside you after everything else has been taken away. It is Penelope growing older while she waits. It is Telemachus becoming a man without his father. It is Argos surviving long enough to recognize his master one final time.
Odysseus is not great simply because he defeats monsters. He is great because he is proud, frightened, wounded, clever, imperfect and deeply human. He loses his companions, his youth, his name and twenty years of his life, yet he refuses to forget who he is.
When he finally returns, Penelope does not recognize him through strength, glory or appearance. She tests him. Odysseus proves his identity by remembering the bed they built together around the roots of a living olive tree.
That is the heart of The Odyssey.
Not the battles.
Not the ships.
Not the monsters.
Two people standing before each other after twenty years, asking whether love, memory and identity can survive everything time has done to them.
That is why this poem has survived for almost 3,000 years. Every human being is trying to return to something: a home, a person, a lost part of themselves, or the life they had before the world changed them.
So use Homer’s seas, gods, heroes and monsters. But please understand what you are touching.
The Odyssey was never truly about how far a man could travel.
It was about how much the world could take from him before he stopped being himself, and whether, after losing almost everything, he could still find his way home.

Bukayo Saka’s Premier League career:

226 games
⚽️ 60 goals (26.5%)
🎯 50 assists (22.1%)
📈 Goal contribution every 2.05 games (48.7%)

Mohamed Salah:

328 games
⚽️ 193 goals (58.8%)
🎯 94 assists (28.7%)
📈 Goal contribution every 1.14 games (87.5%)

But they try and compare?

[Rob @Kethamz]

@Corballyred I agree.

Likes of Villa, Assna , City and even United are moving those who have reached their limits or not good enough while we again coddle sentimentality

[Rob @Kethamz]

@AnfieldLounge If players don't realise that they need to be quicker and move the ball quicker, they will not start or be sold or loaned.

[The Black Opinion @opinion_black]

If I were Cole Palmer, Phil Foden, Kobi Mainoo or Trent Alexander, I would refuse a call up to England squad under Tuchel in the future.

In the meantime, Kane should retire, Pickford should be replaced by James Trafford.

Quansah, Konsa and Nico O’Reilly and Livramento are not England class and should not be picked again.

Fast track Dowman from Arsenal and Rio Ngumoha from Liverpool into the England team. Bring in Lewis Mills from Newcastle, Adam Wharton from Palace.

Keep Rashford and Ivan Toney who should have been selected yes 3 years ago.

Bring in Eddie Howe or Frank Lampard or as a wild pick choose Kieron McKenna. Just get rid of Tuchel.
