I am no longer posting on this platform. It is still a source of news amidst all the misinformation so I am keeping my account open for now. But Twitter/X is now a toxic place urgently in need of regulation.

So - do you have to be white to be British? We have asked in the past.... answer is NO. Also clear that overt racists are a very small part of British society

@90min_Football Van Dijk. The signings of him and Alisson were the most transformative.

Who was 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙗𝙚𝙨𝙩 player of Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool era? 🤩

The fake name “Ali Al-Shakati” has been circulating online in connection with the alleged Southport attacker. @KDenkWrites has uncovered the source of this misinformation: a fake news website believed to be run by Russians. 📻 shorturl.at/hzlNO #TimesRadio

Very interesting thread

@StamfordReacts @UTD_Louie They were entirely different players - Lampard was more like Gerrard than a Souness, an attacking midfielder - but nobody controlled or dominated the centre of the park the way Souness did.

@RoryHegarty @UTD_Louie Typical old fashioned scouse. Allow the nostalgia Lampard literally record number of goals as a midfielder. He doesn’t come close

@RockNRoLL_85 It’s still Rock n Roll Suicide. Those two are great but not in top ten

Rebel rebel & Space Oddity don’t exist, now whats your go to David Bowie Song?

@UchihaSendo @KitManRamsey @Vidmufc @JDGEFC No Ardiles? Well, no. 🤣

@KitManRamsey @Vidmufc @JDGEFC Nah we utd fans watched Pogba at the academy before you rival fans knew who he was. Souness wasn't no Cruyff, Platini, Ardilles or Dalglish, never watched them but every older fan who was around for the 70s that I speak to never mention Souness to me especially b4 those names

Probably because Souness was in his prime a good two decades prior to any of the other players mentioned. Souness was the best midfielder of his generation. Dave’s point is so dumb

@Yanited1892 @KitManRamsey Keegan wasn’t a midfielder.

@KitManRamsey I mean he wasn't even close to being the best midfielder of his generation when the likes of Platini and Keegan exist. Great player but probably doesn't make top 20...

@KitManRamsey Really was. Best Liverpool midfielder of all time IMO

@Daredevil_1892 @TaintlessRed He didn’t.

@TaintlessRed It's not fake, mate. He said it.

Unless I see a non-AI video of him saying this I won't believe it as this reads like a made up parody. Never heard of the "5th official" and Keane hates doing podcasts - he literally only does TV and Overlap. I might be wrong but this looks fake.

@TaintlessRed All fake of course

@TaintlessRed There is a weird online industry in Roy Keane quotes. The Klopp statue one did the rounds but there have been loads this summer

@tizlad Where are all these made up Roy Keane quotes coming from? This is the fourth or fifth this summer.

@GenTXer2 Say Hello Wave Goodbye is way better though and also a top 3 hit?

@PeterSimmoYNWA Great pen that. Recency bias here: Trent for England v Switzerland. Context given everything he had been through in the competition was huge. And an unstoppable pen.

What’s the best penalty you’ve ever seen scored? It can be one scored by a player who showed nerve, technique or just an absolute blammer. 💥 Any era or level of the game. I’m going for Graeme Souness in the shootout against Roma in 1984. Top corner precision. 👌🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Apparently, when Gareth passed his resignation to the FA, they passed it back, he then passed it sideways to Bellingham, who fed Kane, who then passed it to the keeper.

Don’t really understand some of the stuff re: Southgate, as though he’s been relentlessly ridiculed. England were bad and boring for four games, fairly criticised, then a bit less bad, then it’s semi finals and everyone was excited, then they played well and now they are praised.
