A football team broken beyond repair. If there isn't a change this summer, next season is a write-off already, because he'll be gone at some point during it.

Liverpool may be desperate to stick with Arne Slot, but that stance won't withstand the Anfield crowd turning against him. Today felt like that - these fans are just sick of watching a passive, toothless brand of football they have seen for over a year now.

@SHoomwitter All these deceitful billionaire pricks lying by saying that AI will mean we don’t have to work and will have a universal basic income. It’s BS. They will get richer and we will be human batteries for data centres.

Now, Meta’s 10% workforce cut is widely reported in the media. It’s a massive bet on AI at the expense of people’s livelihoods. Where is this heading?

Peter Moore@PeterMooreUSA·
This has been weighing heavily on me, and I can’t stay quiet about it any longer. I am 71 years old. I’ve been fortunate enough to attend five World Cups, starting in 1986. Those tournaments weren’t just events to me, they were life chapters. They were about connection, about culture, about standing shoulder to shoulder with people from every corner of the world, united by the game we love. But what I’m seeing now breaks my heart. The current dynamic pricing strategy for the upcoming World Cup feels completely detached from the very soul of football. Yes, this tournament is being played mostly in the United States, and yes, it’s a premium market. But football was never meant to be a luxury product reserved for the highest bidder. It belongs to the people. Always has. I looked back fondly at USA 94 and everything we did then to fill stadiums and bring the game to life for Americans who were just dipping their toes into the water of the beautiful game. Right now, it feels like the average, passionate supporter, the ones who save for years, who travel across continents, who bring the color, the noise, the spirit, are being pushed out. Replaced by a model that prioritizes revenue over reality. That’s a dangerous road because once you lose the authentic fan, you lose the essence of what makes the World Cup special. I say this not just as a fan, but as someone who has spent a lifetime in and around the game. During my time at EA SPORTS, we stood shoulder to shoulder with FIFA when they needed it most. Our game kept millions of fans connected to football and to the World Cup when trust in the organization was at its lowest. We helped carry the flame. Which is why this moment feels even more disappointing. This may well be one of the last World Cups I have the chance to attend and I find myself wondering if the game I’ve loved all my life is slowly drifting away from people like me, and far more importantly, from the next generation who deserve to feel what I felt in 1986. The World Cup should unite the world. Not divide it by price. Football deserves better. And so do the fans. Come on @FIFAcom , sort this out… It’s not too late.

🚨 Mikel Arteta: “We didn't deserve to lose the match at Southampton, but this is football and we get punished for things that are related to our identity”. “That's the thing that we need to defend. In the strongest possible way”.

@benLFC88 @JayMcKenna87 @_lfcsb I think that’s the point when the supporter board says it’s unnecessary. The revenue made from match days in comparison with other streams is a pittance. There is no need for them to price people out even further. I know you agree with all of this but I think that’s the point

I’d encourage supporters to read the below from the Supporters’ Board and the reaction from supporters involved in the discussions As chair of @_lfcsb we were clear to the club that this was the wrong thing to do. Supporters paying more and more for years to come isn’t necessary
Liverpool FC Supporters Board@_lfcsb

This is an extremely disappointing decision from the club. We were clear to them that increasing prices for three seasons in a row is wrong and unfair Here’s our initial reaction to this

@PaulSmigLFC @JayMcKenna87 @_lfcsb I just have really low expectations of hedge funds. I’ve never met one yet that would look at a revenue source and simply decide to turn it off. They’ll think that people will be a bit pissed off but not enough to not show up. Are they wrong?

@PaulSmigLFC @JayMcKenna87 @_lfcsb I don’t disagree. But price freezes will lead to bigger jumps in future, unless the club fundamentally re-evaluates the importance it places on matchday revenue. FWIW I think it should.

@johncrossmirror Their football is shit, culture fake, fans are psychotic and their manager is a LinkedIn pantomime of a thirsty loser.

For reasons I can't quite understand, Arsenal have gone from being very popular with neutrals to being, well, rather unpopular. I actually think much of this makes sense.

For many fans, 'anyone but Manchester City' has become 'anyone but Arsenal' this season. As the two clubs prepare to meet in this weekend's Carabao Cup final, @Carra23 explains why Mikel Arteta's side have their detractors 👇 telegraph.co.uk/football/2026/…

Find it genuinely mad that Adidas’ thinking of bringing back an LFC kit is to bring back one we wore when we lost to Man United in a final 🙃 What next - bring back cream suits?

@MagpieMediaX As an LFC supporting foreigner the thing I’ve never understood was other working class fan bases signing poverty chants at Liverpool supporters. Scousers have strong values and are incredibly giving. The working class needs to know its enemy.

Unai Emery on Harvey Elliott's situation: "Harvey, now I am opening the door to play with us, because he can help us. But it’s not only on my side. The other side is Liverpool. If they are taking off the clauses, they have to play matches and to buy him compulsory. (I said to him) ‘You are going to play here with us, it’s a sport decision.’ “But now it’s a sport decision and a business decision. My sport decision is still there - ‘you are deserving to play, we need your qualities in the field, you are going to play’. But in this case, the clauses are still there and now it is Liverpool, they have the key. And I told him it will be fair for him for Liverpool to take off this clause.”

@Knox_Harrington Finally some context. It all makes a lot more sense once you allow for the obvious fact that they are trying to rebuild a side without the expectation that they will win the league every single year, especially when year one of the rebuild had a preseason disrupted by tragedy

@NidgeMor @johngibbonsblog With the irony being that these ‘fans’ box themselves into a corner where their beloved team has to fail for them to be proven right. And boy do they love to be proven right.

@NidgeMor @johngibbonsblog I don’t understand what answers people expect them to be able to give? It completely misunderstands their role. If the reason why they didn’t go for Semenyo is because they’ve been working on Olise since November then they can hardly say that. If they did they’d be criticised.

@NidgeMor @johngibbonsblog If you want a Hollywood movie reference then think Moneyball. Data driven decision makers being absolutely pilloried for their decisions by those who presume to know better. They were proven right after the team settled.
