@MoSalah Egyptian 👑

@henrywinter Brilliant!

Mo Salah is leaving Liverpool but Liverpool will never leave him. He made clear as much in his emotional statement revealing he was moving on this summer. Salah has a bond with Liverpool, the club, the fans, the community and the city, that distance cannot break. Liverpool supporters and their Egyptian King have too many shared memories: some painful like his shoulder injury in the 2018 Champions League final, but many more beautiful like his nerveless early penalty in the 2019 final. Salah's return of 255 goals in 435 games is an immense deposit in the memory bank. He is so much more than a goal machine to Liverpool. Salah entertained, brought hope and joy, and how important are those qualities this season? The Premier League has been a show but not a spectacle. He won with style, often a smile. He scored unforgettable goals. Bursts of pace, changes of direction, dashes of panache and effortless balance defined one particularly special goal in 2021. Salah slalomed in from the right against Manchester City, weaving past Foden and Cancelo, then drifting away from Bernardo Silva as he dived in, finding only thin air. Salah was gone, turning Laporte inside out, before shooting right-footed past Ederson. He left a trail of tangled limbs and scrambled senses in his wake. And these were seriously good players he was running rings around. Salah, at his best, could do that. His style and demeanour, his aura, made him incredibly popular. Raheem Sterling's daughter used to send her father videos of her singing the Salah "running down the wing" song. When Raheem was at City. Salah has been a maestro capable of solo magic and a team player, too. 119 assists highlights that. Along with Mane and Firmino, Salah formed one of the most formidable attacks in Premier League history. He's up amongst Liverpool greats, behind only Dalglish. He’s up amongst Premier League greats, behind only Thierry Henry. Salah is more than a player. He transcends football. He’s a sporting role model, a cultural figure, an inspiring representative of his faith, and great ambassador for his country. Away from the game, Salah lives a simple life, dedicated to his family and his faith, and to his extensive community and humanitarian work. At one PFA event, Salah walked up to collect an award, stopping to talk to a fan in a wheelchair on the way. He walked back the same way to show the award to the fan. He's not only a class act as a footballer but as a human being, too. At 33, Salah leaves with his legacy intact, before the legs slow further, before any tensions arise with Arne Slot again. It’s the right decision at the right time for both parties, as Liverpool save a fortune on a year's wages and Salah leaves with the crowd wanting more. His farewell tour could conjure up more memories, maybe even a trophy. Liverpool will be galvanised by this news, saddened but wanting to send one of their greats off in style. Salah will want to leave on a winning note. He will certainly leave with his ears ringing with acclaim. This means Mo. #LFC

@ViktorFagerLFC @FA_PGMOL Hard to continue watching this.

Ekitike penalized for not diving. Well done @FA_PGMOL you incompetent fools. x.com/Media1414506/s…

@brettread @KP24 @malcolmconn @TheBarmyArmy Get Boh in as a batting coach.

@KP24 @malcolmconn @TheBarmyArmy No patience and no skill is the problem with modern day players. It is sad as test cricket is still the best format to watch when played correctly.

@Trickyred1 @RobGutmann @davidlynchlfc It is what it is, top D

@AJSolomon @RobGutmann @davidlynchlfc Ban + Financial. Crazy take.

There’s an unwritten rule in football that, if an attacker gets a shot away, the defender is given carte blanche to challenge them how they like. That was a really poor and late one from Micky van de Ven yesterday and this is the consequence, yet it wasn’t looked at.

@RobGutmann @davidlynchlfc My exact thoughts when it happened. Similar to Pickford on Virgil. There should be repercussions, a ban plus financial.

@davidlynchlfc It was the clearest red of the night. It’s the reckless force of the challenge. In slow motion it just looks late and clumsy, but the player knows he’s taking ball or man, in real time. It’s ruthless.

@KoulaBudler @ComradesRace Good luck Koula. Hope to see you at the Comrades start line.

As ready as I’m going to be! Hoping to get my @ComradesRace qualifier done and dusted on Sunday. 🤞🏻💪🏻

@GuillemBalague " "

Same team as in #ElClasico Xabi has found a reliable eleven for what he has to do, a structured organised team hungry to get the ball back Bellingham is finding his role and loves it. Vini has reduced his emotional volume a bit to be even more dangerous. This is Mbappe's team, the Frenchman is scoring more than a goal per game, like Haaland and Kane If Liverpool goes for chaos, they better score early as Real Madrid can manage emotions (their own and stadium's) and take the game their way. Anyway Anfield will be needed as Real likes to dominate and even submit you, live in the rivals half, till they find the way.

@indykaila @ManUtd @OfficialBHAFC Solid acquisition if it goes through.

Exclusive news 💣 coming out from our team! ⬇️ @ManUtd has reached out to @OfficialBHAFC in the last few hours regarding the talented Carlos Baleba. Sources close to the situation reveal that Baleba is eager 🤩 to discuss a move to Old Trafford. This could be the news #mufc fans 🤗 were waiting for as they look to bolster their midfield. Expect intense negotiations ahead, as Brighton will surely want to hold on to their prized asset.

@olawale2_ Two injuries and good luck .

something is missing. I know yall see it

@StephenEvans75 What's plan B? 2 x forwards plus CB?

Calling it now. I think this Isak deal is getting far too messy and I’m starting to think it won’t happen. I really Hope I’m wrong, but somethings not sitting right with it all, the way it’s all playing out in public is not usually how we do business. Good chance we walk away.

@flick_class A.Collier, D.Terry, PJ Budler. In the Bedford Street Nets.

Name a better cricket trio than this, and I’ll deactivate.

@Cricketracker Biff Smith.

Name your favourite Test captain🧢

@DominicKing_DM Big Dom, you think Nunez stays?

Liverpool believe Hugo Etikete wants to join them ahead of Newcastle and now it is a question of when a bid will be submitted. The release clause is €100m (£86m) - the money won’t be an issue.

@Adityakrsaha Crawlhall, Grahamstown.

If we are talking about the most iconic cricket stadium: England - Lord's Australia - MCG India - ????

@LFC Proper legend.

Adam Lallana paid tribute to Diogo and Andre this morning ❤️

@indykaila Pack his bags

Luis Diaz has asked to leave Liverpool unless he offered bumper contract which has not arrived at this moment. #lfc

@TheAnfieldBuzz @BILD @433 Weird decision from Diaz. Maybe Wirtz is lined up for the left role.

Luis Diaz has agreed a deal in principle with Bayern Munich reports @BILD. Bayern will now have to negotiate with Liverpool who are believed to want €80m. 🇨🇴🚨

@Max8LFC @borbely_imre @AnythingLFC_ @TheAnfieldBuzz @nickbieber @GrizzKhan @TheAnfieldTalk @TeamKopish @AnfieldIndex Depends who we buy. If we get a similar profile, younger and not as injury prone, sell cuz.

🚨 Enquiry + £37m offered 🚨 A big 6 club over the weekend contacted #LFC regarding Diogo Jota, enquiring about his availability and also put on the table a willingness to offer £37m if he is made available for sale this summer. Would you sell Jota to a big 6 rival?
