@BrianDurand56 There was a period of 18 months under Benitez when Carra was the best stopper in Europe. Obviously subjective but I’ll die on that hill. We all dream of a team of Carraghers was loud and frequently sang back in those days

Jamie Carragher never pretended to be a cultured defender. But he was a hugely talented, effective defender.

People watched Thiago run around in an exhibition match and decided he’d be great as our next assistant coach. Sound 👍

I’m so glad that Jurgen is a red…

@HendrickD82 @danlfcynwa_ Ivan Leko is another name doing the rounds which I find totally weird

@danlfcynwa_ Farioli is a name I heard yesterday but not sure how clued in the person who said it to me is.

It will most likely be between: - Alonso - Hoeness - Someone 95% of us haven't even thought/heard of I think we know who the manager/head coach will be by June 1st. #LFC

@Mobyhaque1 €150m though!! Not a chance

Space always bringing us inside scoop on Bayern Munich. He reports there is a release clause framework built in that LFC is aware of

We know that trophies are what count and we will do everything possible to make that happen next season. Our fans deserve it and we will fight like hell.

@monhlx @itsolelehmann The winters are - sadly - not wet enough in Cyprus. Not questioning your ‘lived’ experience but perhaps it’s the air con issue or the fact it’s too hot for a couple of months or the year to even allow air circulation by opening windows

@itsolelehmann It sounds like a really nice place. Do the pros outweigh the cons? Would you enjoy life there 10-20 years from now?

i've lived in cyprus for the last 5 years here's my (more nuanced) view of pros and cons: the pros: 1. people are insanely friendly. people genuinely talk to you in cafes and everyone is SUPER sweet to our baby 2. tax status is the best option in europe, both in terms of tax rate and flexibility (you only need to be there 60days/year) 3. weather is elite from april - june and september - december 4. there are few distractions, it's a great place to lock in, work out and work (but more in the cons section..) 5. living costs are decent (though been rising A LOT). 6. growing expat community (mainly germans in paphos, more russians in limassol) 7. slowly growing availability of organic food sources (still in its infancy tohugh) 8. pro business mindset (compared to other european countries, not to US lol) 9. I love the sea in cyprus (great colour and very clear!) , and they also have mountains too hike in troodos mountains 10. easy and fast to get any doctors appointment (and cheap!) 11. very safe, I would always leave my backpack with my car keys out in the open while swimming etc. low crime rate is awesome. 12. everyone speaks english! and very well. now let's get to the cons: 1. it's very hard to maintain friendships with the expats because MANY of them will be traveling outside of cyprus for 70% of the year. I personally want a place where most peopel stay permanently, not only a couple of months. It's ok if your 24 and nomading (which im not). 2. the sun is extreme in juli, august. especially with a small child thats kinda fucked and hard to navigate (UV index 12...) 3. it often still feels like 2018. in a good AND a bad way. there's not much to do compared to other places where I lived before. 4. you need a car (despite what people been telling you on X). sidewalks are often times fucked up, especially if you are pushing a stroller around 5. culture, music, art scene is extremely small. I love these things so it does matter to me. 6. there is no real big city in cyprus. something i'm genuinely missing 7. there's close to 0 significant companies here, no good events, tech ecosystem is very very small (despite what people try to tell you on here). on a world scale, cyprus doesn't matter at all 8. a lot of "entrepreneurs" coming here are coaches or actually employed to someone. I have met 10x more interesting entrepreneurs in big european cities in a days vs in 6 months in cyprus. there are some but it's far from a "tech hub". might be skill issue on my end lol 9. there's a lot of dodgy shit going on with casinos, russian money in cyprus. but I guess that happens in many countries 10. its an island, so everything needs to get imported. many shops don't ship to cyprus. there is no amazon (only if you order from a different country + pay the shipping 11. cyprus is very far away from the pulse of culture, it mostly feels like every trend is happening 5 years later here 12. lots of mold in almost EVERY house. cheap build quality and a lot of cookie cutter ugly investment properties 13. very close to the wars in the middle east 14. there no great architecture in any city my tldr: we're looking at other options in europe right now, but we might stay here and just move to limassol but a kind of house I want is probably 6-9k/month so it's expensive af there (over 2x-3x from paphos) personally, I mainly miss the vibe and drive of a more metropolitan city but that's just me! the main factor I don't like is how so many people only stay a couple of months in cyprus, making it hard to compound and friendships but people like @marclou moving here def make me want to stay more :D

@ChampionsLeague As the Kop used to sing, a team of Carraghers

If you had to build a team with 11 copies of the same player, which player would you pick?

Most #lfc fans (and perhaps also coaching staff also bemoan) would say this season has been affected by injury. Yet, objectively, the club is below average in terms of lost days. So that implies the roster was too thin.

Tonight at the Isla Gladstone Stanley park 6pm before the @LFC match 4300 lights 1 for every man that has committed suicide since 2024 #yourlightmatters ❤️

@SimonBrundish Everyone’s fixating on their favourite frontline combination when the issue lies in CM. Can’t win anything with G and M anymore.

@SimonBrundish McAllister is washed. Another case of the Fabinhos. The average NFL career lasts 3.3 years. In the Premier League it’s 7.5 years. The two will converge in the next 10 years. McAllister has been playing in the prem for >7 years

The team everyone expected when we began the season Played 18 mins together so far Been available for 15 games

@GuillemBalague @OllieHolt22 This….

@GuillemBalague @OllieHolt22 Mainly football snobbery. His attention to detail seemingly upsetting rival fans by becoming reliant on set pieces instead of free flowing entertaining football. In tbag sense he’s outperforming Tony Pulis and Dave Bassett / Bobby Gould with that brand of football.

Brilliant piece from @OllieHolt22 👇 This bit keeps coming back to me. "Many are still consumed by a strange kind of naked desperation for Arsenal to fail. That desperation seems to centre on Arteta more than any of his players, as if he has become a lightning rod for the schadenfreude of opposing fans and they cannot bear the idea that he is going to have the last laugh." Help me understand why the dislike (apart from the fact that winning gets seen often as suspicious in the UK, and that fans from other teams would use any stick available, no matter how flawed, to diminish a win from other clubs) But don't give me partisan lines, I would like some kind of sociological/psychological explanation (if possible)

Man City are being investigated for 115 charges of financial fraudulence between 2009 and 2018. Chelsea have been found guilty of financial fraudulence between 2011 and 2018. These two sides won 4 of the 9 Premier League titles in the period they are being investigated for... It's surely got to be considered the most corrupt period in Premier League history? It's also interesting to think of the impact that these titles had on their positions in 2026.

Chelsea fans are understandably delighted with the PL punishment while fans of the majority of clubs just see it as further proof that the competition is effectively rigged. In a PSR/SCR era, Chelsea continue to benefit from the success the players in question contributed to.

You don’t get to shit all over our allies and then expect them to help clean up YOUR fucking mess!

✍️ Just a fine for Chelsea’s cheating — no wonder some rivals are angry @martynziegler says the scale of blatant rule breaches during period in which the club won six trophies under Roman Abramovich is jaw-dropping ⬇️ #Echobox=1773689594" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">thetimes.com/sport/football…

I think any progressive and ambitious Premier League club should now spend whatever they like and push the boundaries way past compliance. Because if you only receive a paltry fine for adding players who materially helped you win trophies then it's worth it. Was massively pro spending rules but clubs illegal spending prior to PSR isn't being punished at all and I bet those clubs are pissing themselves, all while clubs with the money to compete with them today are having to audit every fucking toilet roll, with promising home grown players being horsetraded like meat in order to comply with PSR. Clubs and supporters should always support rules which protect our clubs from themselves at times, but dishing out fines that some clubs can find from the back of the boardroom sofa while directly profiting from the players "illegally" purchased makes a mockery of the system.
