What I'd give to be back on that terrace with that crowd
The mighty Emlyn (Crazy Horse) Hughes. Nov. 1979. And his first game back at Anfield after his move to wolves. A player who gave everything for the shirt. https://xitter.cf/t.co/nKYHNa8est #LFC #YNWA #Liverpool
It's got nothing to do with ignorance; that's the problem: all these right-wing accounts are using the Trump playbook with every electoral defeat to instill doubt, hatred, and division in their base.
I've personally got no time for the Ballon d'Or; however, Harry Kane is a deserved winner, which isn't always the case with that strange award.
Does anyone care who came 42nd at the Ballon d'Or I fucking hate modern football and all the bollocks around it
It's amazing how surprised many of Utds online fans are that the owners are a bit shit, it's not like there weren't massive red flags in the way all of them do business, "successful" or not
It doesn't matter what he thinks, we won and got 3pts that's all that matters, too many people obsess about all these weird fucking stats. Saw a Liverpool content creator doing it this morning, it's boring l, just use your eyes and enjoy when we win
Burnham basically saying he hasn't got the bollocks to call another referendum on the EU in case the gobshites Labour have pandered too for the last decade get pissed off
I've loved Araujo's performances but find the clamour to offer him a contract a bit premature. There are lots of questions to address around the CB/RB situation long-term: van Dijk, Leoni, Jacquet, Bradley, Frimpong, and that's before any possible targets. I love the lad, though
The Ballon d'Or has become irrelevant for most; for almost two decades, two players won regardless of if they deserved to. Factor in the Barcelona/Real Madrid bias and dependence on a player's club's CL performance, and the problem is obvious.
The Premier League is home to six of the top 10 richest clubs in world football and since the start of this decade, 17 of the 21 biggest transfers have been paid by clubs from England's top flight.
Yet there are just five players from the Premier League on the 30-strong men's Ballon d'Or shortlist.
Why is that? Does the Premier League, for all its money and strength, lack stardust?

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.
