The saddest thing about society is that people seem almost surprised by Robertson’s post-match interview. That’s the reality of this world we live in - you can be walking around broken inside, fighting like hell to keep it together, while everyone else carries on with their expectations sky-high as normal.
It’s no different from any other walk of life, except this is happening at the highest level, on camera, with nowhere to hide. Robbo’s interview is a timely reminder that these “superstars” are human beings first.
🚨🇸🇦 More on Darwin Nunez and Al Hilal exclusive story. The agreement club to club with Liverpool is 100% done.

How can Liverpool afford all these signings?
Ranking of net spend across the 5 completed seasons prior to this summer 2020/21-2024/25 (according to @TMuk_news)
1) Chelsea: -£770m
2) United: -£547m
3) Spurs: -£472m
4) Arsenal: -£468m
5) Newcastle: -£365m
6) West Ham: -£274m
7) Man City: -£270m
8) Liverpool: -£252m
9) Nottingham Forest: -£220m
Liverpool's net spend in this time is over £200m less than Spurs, they've spent less than West Ham...
Across this period, Liverpool won a Premier League title, 1 FA Cup, 2 League Cups and reached a Champions League final.
They won that Premier League title, having made a net PROFIT of £4.4m on transfers across that season.
Even if they do sign Isak, they are likely to make at least £130m from the sales of Diaz, Nunez and Elliot.
Don't be angry, it's not unfair. Liverpool are just smarter than your club.
I really don't like the narrative around Liverpool.
They went 26 League matches unbeaten, longer than Pep's Man City have ever gone in a single season.
Your club's disappointing season doesn't invalidate Liverpool's title win.
So, just to recap, here are ALL the records that Mohamed Salah set vs Manchester City tonight:
◉ Mo Salah is the first player in Premier League history to register 40+ goal involvements in TWO different seasons.
◉ Mo Salah is the first player in Europe’s top five leagues to be directly involved in 50 goals across all competitions in 2024/25.
◉ Mo Salah has now scored AND assisted in 11 Premier League games this season, the most by a player in a single season in one of Europe's big five leagues since Lionel Messi for Barcelona in 2014/15 (11).
◉ Mo Salah has provided more assists in 2024/25 than any other Liverpool player has in a single Premier League campaign (16).
◉ Mo Salah is the first player in Premier League history to score AND assist in both games against the reigning champions in a season.
◉ Mo Salah is the first player to score 25+ goals and register 15+ assists in a Premier League season.
Is this the greatest individual season in the Premier League... ever?
Mo Salah is on pace for 58 Premier League goal contributions this season 🤯
Where does he rank amongst the best Premier League forwards of all-time? 🤔 #MCILIV

Arteta joined Arsenal 5 years ago. His peak was an FA Cup behind closed doors.
By the five year mark, Klopp had won us a Champions League, our first Premier League in 30 years, a Super Cup and a Club World Cup. Throw in the Barca comeback too.
Never, ever compare them.
