A vote without a vote: the Saudi World Cup is an act of violence and disdain | Barney Ronay The shamelessness of Fifa’s process was fully on show in Zurich during a display of contempt for governance, democracy, love, hope and good sense

My favourite source for history, lots of other great podcasts out there, the Rest is History etc, but for the amount of quality content this is easily the best subscription I've got 👏👏

It's pretty obvious what Slot's views are on selection, so I can only assume certain accounts persist with the lots of changes narrative for engagement, he even said he'd go strong in his interview yesterday

Some fantastic teams in the 70's, Liverpool, Leeds, Arsenal, Derby, Forest, Ipswich and some big ones like Spurs and Man Utd getting relegated

1974: The KOPITES of Liverpool FC | The Kop | Classic BBC sport | BBC Archive YouTube video by BBC Archive

Well worth a watch for anyone not old enough to stand on the Kop in the 70's and 80's

youtu.be/g8zpu6yukyM?...

It's on YouTube somewhere, biggest crowd I ever saw at the South

Some of my tickets from around then, I'm sure the Bayern Munich semi final at Anfield was the first time I'd paid £2 in the Kop and the final in Paris was 25F about £2.50

That's right, I was on there as well, probably just off the left of that photo, Emlyn is looking right at the old South ground

I agree, it's a shame because Slot seems quite prepared to give good answers when he's not fed up of the idiots

The next month will be spent looking at the tv with the reflection of the Xmas tree in it 🤣

Timeline is much more enjoyable after I got rid of loads of stupid accounts that were in those LFC starter packs, still a work in progress, but a lot better

I can only assume these journalists have no self awareness to just how stupid their questions are, to both the manager, players and audience that would like to hear something remotely insightful

Quite happy that Slot doesn't seem as obsessed with making changes as some of our fans and content creators

I've finally, for now at least, worked out a way to get the best from all the twitter like platforms, I post pretty much exclusively on here, because it feels more friendly, I occasionally pop into Threads and enjoy that timeline, but use X for real time stuff and the accounts that don't post here

Let's see if anyone in the media will be able to find out what exactly Coote has been sacked for, lots of allegations, many quite serious, some that put into question the integrity of the PGMOL itself, but I won't hold my breath

Not been a bad weekend of football considering we got postponed, quite like the fact teams are dropping points, like a proper title chase, unlike the madness of recent years

Garston, Liverpool and since the 1971 FA Cup final, although my first live game was v West Brom at Anfield in April 1973 #lfc

The great Ron Yeats

Lovely meal in Elif on Lark Lane with Mel and then a couple of pints in what was my favourite pub in the Lane back in the late 80's

Brisk walk for a coffee in Crosby and can confirm that Storm Darragh hasn't deterred the local pensioners from their Saturday morning shop 🤣

As someone who uses Bluesky, Threads and Twitter for different things I really appreciate content creators who post across all platforms 👏👏

Because people want to believe those who amplify their hopes, fears or prejudices, that's why social media is both brilliant and dangerous

Haven't taken him seriously for a long time, he's a product of the Sky, Gary Neville money making model of football, where controversy drives engagement, sadly too many enjoy their content and believe the shit they spout

In fairness to Mo he's playing a blinder in these non contract negotiations, I'm guessing the stats men are running every model possible to try and justify their position 🤣

I really like Slot's interviews, sometimes I find coaches comments a bit embarrassing, especially after games, but this fella always hits the right note

Reality check for those who think if we play like that again we won't be challenging in May, maybe that's true, but I'll guarantee we will, that's what football is about, look at City, Arsenal and so many others over the years, you can't win every game, that's why 100 pts has only been done once

Sadly the media in this country, both social and mainstream swings wildly based on minor changes, these stats companies who give percentages on title chances don't help, but drama generates engagement and $$$

I can still remember walking out into the old Main Stand for my first game against West Brom in April 1973 and looking over at the Kop, where I'd spend the next 20 years seeing us win everything over and over, we were very lucky

They were great days mate
