You read something like this and realise how embarrassingly overlooked Virgil van Dijk is nowadays. He's a victim of his own all-time greatness, and most of the time, he's playing a different sport from 99% of the other centre-backs.

Few too many wimps in this Liverpool team for my liking.

Straight up, if referees want to be the main character in a game worth billions then make them accountable the same way the players and managers are made accountable post match in front of the cameras Tell us why you were right and that we’re wrong Seriously, why not?

We are Aston Villa!! Never insult us again!! UTV pride of the midlands 💜

Trent Alexander-Arnold is considering his future at Real Madrid after growing frustrated with his lack of playing time, with Liverpool among a host of clubs monitoring his situation as the England star’s position at the Spanish giants becomes increasingly uncertain, @TEAMtalk can reveal teamtalk.com/liverpool/trent…

🚨List of everything Manchester city owners have done for Manchester and England. - Bought Manchester City in 2008 and invested heavily in East Manchester’s regeneration. - Invested hundreds of millions into the Etihad Campus and surrounding East Manchester. - Built the £200m City Football Academy on around 80 acres of former industrial land. Remediated contaminated former industrial land and transformed it into a major sports, education and community campus. - Created thousands of construction and employment opportunities, with significant work going to local and North West businesses. -Built facilities supporting Manchester City’s men’s and women’s teams, academy and community programmes. - Helped bring Connell Co-op College to the Etihad Campus, providing education for local young people. -Contributed £3m towards public swimming facilities at East Manchester Leisure Centre. Helped create the Beswick Hub, bringing together sport, education, health and community facilities. - Supported the Manchester Institute of Health & Performance, providing health and sports-science services beyond professional football. -Invested in the expansion of the Etihad Stadium and continued development of the surrounding campus. - Invested alongside partners in Co-op Live, creating a major new 23,500-capacity entertainment arena in East Manchester. Continued investing in the wider Etihad Stadium expansion and entertainment district, representing hundreds of millions in additional investment. -Supported City in the Community programmes helping thousands of Manchester residents through football, education, health and employability initiatives. -Funded community football and multi-sport pitch improvements across Greater Manchester. -Provided free football opportunities for young people through City Kicks. -Supported programmes helping young people at risk of serious youth violence. Supported young patients and families at Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital. -Created education and employability opportunities for young people through City in the Community. -Used the Etihad Campus during COVID-19 to support NHS workers, nursing training, testing and vaccination efforts. -Worked with Manchester City Council on employment initiatives, including jobs fairs connecting local people with employers. Supported elite and community sport by making facilities available to athletes and sporting organisations. -Invested in environmental improvements, biodiversity and green-space projects around the Etihad Campus. -Donated surplus equipment and furniture from the club to community organisations in Manchester. -And perhaps one of the most symbolic acts: Sheikh Mansour bought the 1904 FA Cup — Manchester City’s first FA Cup and the oldest surviving FA Cup trophy — at auction and arranged for it to remain on display at the National Football Museum in Manchester. The overall result has been a transformation of the Etihad area into a major hub combining football, education, health, entertainment, employment and community facilities.

Who is the best player to have NEVER won the Premier League? 🤔

I'd hope by now that most people realise Stefan Borson (@slbsn) is a charlatan. He's gone from telling everyone that the charges against City were so big they required a level of "cogent proof" of fraud and disguised equity that would be "nearly impossible to substantiate" 1/n

We're on the safety advisory group call tomorrow re Liverpool away. We'll be calling for extra protection for our players on arrival. 2018 saw some Liverpool fans turn the clock back to the mid80s. Current media annihilation of the club may fan those flames again.

🚧 “The two midfielders [Rice and Anderson] are limited!” 😲 “I think [Rice] might be a centre half!” Graeme Souness believes England’s midfield pairing are not as good as people make out… 📺 youtu.be/xxT3DlF900I

Spoke to @paulsaltysalt on @bbcmerseysport about @LFC and @John_W_Henry's decision to ignore @_lfcsb and @spiritofshankly and push ahead with a planned three years of price rises at Anfield.

Whenever Chelsea's murky activities make the headlines, and it’s often, I'm always reminded of Matthew Syed's brilliant evisceration of Roman Abramovich on Sky Sports... What Everton did is a million miles from this lot. They're corrupt to the marrow.

Lets just take a minute

£2.5m was bargain buy for Liverpool back in (1999) for the defender, and not talked about enough in my opinion. Sami Hyypiä Liverpool Legend 🔴
