WHAT A GOAL!!!
Graeme Souness' 1st goal for Liverpool against Man Utd in 1978. #Liverpool #LFC #LIVMUN #YNWA
We've got some annoying ex-player pundits—I won't name them—but Utd are a different level completely.
Post-Ferguson Utd remind me of Liverpool in the 1990s: a fan base and club-friendly pundits coming to terms with football after an unbelievably successful dynasty. We were fortunate to get Klopp, but even that was 25 years later; ownership is another matter entirely.
Have Manchester United become the unmanageable club? Michael Carrick is the latest in the firing line but what about those above him like Ratcliffe, Wilcox & Berrada? What about years of decay and rank bad decision making bbc.co.uk/sport/football/art…

Pelé will always unquestionably be one of the greatest footballers of all time, as is quite clear from the incredible numbers on his graphic. His name will live on as a legend for generations to come. Today would have been his birthday.
It's very sad; the lad had his head turned by certain individuals, including his brother, but needs to realise the mistake he's made. I'm not sure, as a right-back, he'd fit that many systems.
It is still too early to call Trent Alexander-Arnold’s Real Madrid move a failure, or a mistake.
But it is not working out.

I stopped reading when I saw that Messi had almost 500 votes 🤣
Who should win the men’s Ballon d’Or?
That's the question our reporters asked 100 people in football — players and managers, past and present, coaches, sporting directors, scouts, presidents and other executives from around the world.
There were some slightly eyebrow-raising selections.
A current Bundesliga sporting director voted for Declan Rice in second place.
A former international player and manager picked Marc Cucurella in third.
A former Premier League coach chose Marquinhos in third place.
The winner? Harry Kane. By some margin.

Seeing some posts from pundits and journalists asking why anyone would want the Utd job; well, apart from them potentially being a huge football club, I've no idea. Do you have to be guaranteed success these days? It's a good thing Fergie had more about him.
I remember the European Footballer of the Year mainly from when Kevin Keegan left Liverpool and won it for Hamburg; however, the recent obsession with forwards and the link to whoever wins the Champions League has totally devalued it for me.
To quote @rioferdy5: "Ballon d'Or ... Ballon d'Or ... BALLON D'OR!"
How social media, the Messi-Ronaldo rivalry, tantrums and tiaras turned a prestigious but relatively low-profile individual award into something that now dominates minds in a team sport.
Thanks to @Pasferre and Vincent Garcia, France Football editors past and present, for their insight #ballondor

I'd love to know how that much pyro gets into the ground; I've been to quite a few European grounds as well as those in England, and the search process is usually pretty rigorous.
🚨🚨 L'UEFA OUVRE UNE PROCÉDURE DISCIPLINAIRE CONTRE LE RC LENS !!! 🧨
Les jets de fumigènes et l'interruption du match à Bruges vont coûter cher.
Déjà en sursis, le club s'expose à une lourde amende et une suspension de parcage.

I'm always fascinated to know how these directors of football get to that role, it appears Wilcox reputation was made predominantly from building City's academy and making it "profitable" 🤣
INEOS are fully behind Jason Wilcox and will support the Manchester United director of football if he decides Michael Carrick’s time as manager should come to an end, and with the club making a huge decision on the manager in the wake of their Como thrashing, sources have confirmed to @TEAMtalk .

That's two senior players who have had a go at the club management, whatever form that takes after the last two defeats. I think there's a problem that needs more than a new captain, if I'm honest 🤣
Always in the discussion when considering my all-time eleven at both right and left back, which is some achievement.

If you watched Liverpool in the 80s, there was no question you were seeing Ian Rush scoring goals. An incredible career worth checking out on his birthday today.

Ian Rush turns 65 today 🎉
Here he is taking the absolute piss out of Everton in 1982
I'd love to know how a journalist, if that's what these people are called, could back up these clickbait claims; journalism really is on its arse.
Trent Alexander-Arnold is reportedly considering his future at Real Madrid, with Liverpool monitoring the situation 👀

I'm 62 next week and Rushie was the superstar who didn't really feel like a superstar in the glory days of the 80s when we followed the Reds all over the country and beyond; his numbers before moving to Juventus were phenomenal.
Our best wishes to Ian Rush who turns 65 today! Born in St Asaph on 20 October 1961, the Welshman spent a total of 15 years at Anfield across two brilliant spells, scoring 346 goals for Liverpool FC, a club record. He's not a striker. He's THE striker. Happy birthday, Rushie!

Probably my favourite title win at Anfield, everything about the game, being 1-0 down, Clem's amazing return at the start of the 2nd half and a full standing Kop. Just edges 2025, certainly in the ground, nothing beats the last one outside though.
Exactly, the obsession with analyzing everything in modern football dilutes so much of the enjoyment we used to get. Back in the day, you'd have a pint before the game, enjoy the late winner, have a chat and a pint after, then move on to the next game. Better days.
We can dissect the performances all we want, but being fair LFC’s win at Brentford deserves much more credit.
Here are Brentford’s PL home results since last losing there on 21 Feb:
16 Mar: Brentford 2-2 Wolves
11 Apr: Brentford 2-2 Everton
18 Apr: Brentford 0-0 Fulham
2 May: Brentford 3-0 West Ham
17 May: Brentford 2-2 Palace
22 Aug: Brentford 3-0 Spurs
5 Sep: Brentford 1-1 Sunderland
18 Sep: Brentford 3-0 Chelsea
17 Oct: Brentford 1-2 LIVERPOOL 🔴
First away side to win there in almost 8 months. Massive 3 points! Couldn’t be more proud of the team.
