@robbohuyton @empireofthekop Think we’re just sleepwalking to the end of the season as I don’t think they wanna sack him mid season, and maybe the really fancied replacement doesn’t wanna come mid season …..

Without the eight late goals conceded Liverpool would be on 60 points, one behind City. The lack of nous in seeing games out is baffling, from the manager and coaches to the players. You’d think it would be drilled on the training ground, worked on with psychologists, something. Where’s the evidence? 🤯 The lack of fight and desire has blown a hole in the season. Eight league games left. What fixes it?

@DistanceCovered Arse has GONE

Still not over Konate. So much harder to win when one of your centre-backs keeps setting fire to the house.

@curiosityonx Skin up

You wake up at 2 a.m., look up, and see this. What are your first words?

@Lord_Sugar This puts all my troubles into perspective

Anyone having trouble opening the cap on the 500 ml bottle of S.PELLEGRINO. They are so tight it is near impossible to open.

@lespattinson1 I spoke with him a lot about your playing mate.

Absolutely gutted to hear the news about Mani, what a beautiful man and legend, I was afraid of the trouble he could get you into, he never did, true respect and gods speed Gary. ❤️

Can’t help but be warmed by all the lovely pics of Mani with people. Some people are just universally loved and he was clearly one of those. #RIPMANI

What’s the script with that Ty? He’s really fucking odd.

@LukeEdwardsTele 😂😂😂😂

Some insiders suggested, from April onwards, Isak was behaving and playing like someone who did not want the team to qualify for the Champions League, as he knew it would make it harder for him to explain to Howe and the supporters why he wanted to go #nufc

@LukeEdwardsTele 😂😂😂😂😂😂

As a high ranking Liverpool official said this summer, if you want to know what is really happening at Newcastle United read Luke Edwards in the Telegraph. I was flattered. I only ever report what I’m told and learn. I was wrong to say that Alexander Isak would not be sold this summer. But that was my information at the time. It was steadfast. But things change, situations alter, people move in a different direction and I have to try and keep up with them. When the time came, I broke the exclusive story that Newcastle had agreed a £130m deal to sell Isak to Liverpool. Forget the rest who pretend they did, they didn’t. Yes this is a boast post. It has been a long, hard summer. I’ve had to deal with a major family trauma, a major tournament with England women’s team. And I’ve had to keep track of the transfer saga of the decade. To do this job is to commit to it. I’ve spent more time on the phone this summer, talking to people, messaging people, to try and do what I do best. I love what I do but it’s not easy. My wife joked that I gave my family four days of our two week summer holiday. Four days when I wasn’t on the phone dealing with Newcastle United matters. And talking about Alexander bloody Isak. So yes, you can send me tweets about what I said earlier in the summer, but at the time everything was as it was told to me. You can call me names, I don’t care, it makes me smile most of the time. I’m wired differently to most. But when push came to shove, when the pressure was on, every single moment was worth it when I exclusively revealed that Isak was heading to Liverpool for £130m. That is the job I do. I don’t rip off other people’s information and pretend it’s my own, I don’t pretend I know what is happening. I don’t conjure up tweets out of thin air for engagement and profit on here, telling people what they want to hear. I’m not paid by agents to leak stories, I report. You can be wrong, but in the end, when you get a story 100% right, it’s all worth it. Sorry for the self indulgence, but this is a love letter to all the newspaper journalists out there who do what I do every single day and are subjected to the abuse that comes with it on here every single day. Keep smiling, we watch football for a living. Nothing better than that xx
