Omg I just read about this, but had never seen what it actually looks like! What a coincidence of a tweet.
As a side note, it reminds me a lot of one I have seen in person:
When Jürgen Klopp got an offer to be Liverpool manager he then told FSG who he wanted to bring in as a coaching staff & it was more than they’d budgeted for. He took a pay cut.
When he signed an extension, he did not get more money, no increase in pay. The coaching staff did.

Really loving the individual photos of lone protesters, many who are elderly, immunocompromised, are front line workers, or are otherwise unable/worried about joining in crowds just...standing alone in solidarity. 😍
We should really talk more about how Divock Origi, who is Belgian, set up a scholarship for local kids from Liverpool.
I consistently forget he did that and I’m glad The Anfield Wrap chatted about it today.
TW: rape
Just listened to audio of the alleged Mason Greenwood incident and honestly, don’t listen.
This website is not someplace to litigate domestic violence and intimate partner rape on but I do want to emphasize a couple things.
Liam Gallagher tweeted about Liverpool and Scousers eight times since his team won the league.
Guess how many positive tweets he’s sent out about his own side?
Very odd man ML x
Trent Alexander-Arnold was lazy there, played him onside — inexcusable. Those lapses are what you get for playing someone with his upsides, they’ll tell you, but you do miss defensive fundamentals at times.
Hearing I got the name wrong there
The Agüero touching thing isn’t bad bc it was intended to be harmful or caused active harm. It’s bad because it’s not isolated from its cultural implications: that it’s okay to touch women in ways that one would not touch a man. It’s important to read “harmless” sexism as sexism.
Imagine watching £100m signing Jack Grealish (£200k/week) not starting for any of the three (final EPL day, Raal Madrid both legs) key games in the run-in — let alone the full season — and thinking Liverpool’s wage structure is the problem with football today. Imagine.
Martin Tyler has twice mentioned Leicester fans making noise and 'supporting their side', yet just before you could audibly hear Hillsborough chants. If you're going to talk about the support you absolutely have to call that out. I do not understand the pundit silence on this.
Anyone know why they didn’t tour the US for such a long time? They last came to the US in 2018, but also in 2017, 2015, 2014…so curious that they just…stopped. A conundrum.
I also need a Liverpool win this weekend because one of my students is a Manchester United fan and I don't think I can cope with a 19-year-old chatting shit to me honestly
If the only thing Gini Wijnaldum ever did for Liverpool football club was Barcelona (H) that would frankly be enough.
The fact that he effectively stabilized the midfield and shaped opposition possession in a way that allowed us to play the football we played for two seasons? 👏
The chat is weird. Gini Wijnaldum is one of the best ever players I’ve seen play for Liverpool. He’s a boring player in a good way. The two trophies over the past three years exist bc of not in spite of Gini. He’s incredible. Legend.
The new managerial and back room staff contracts did not get Klopp any more money (he simply got more time), but the back room staff's new contracts earned them an additional £2 million. I love this.
It’s wild to me that teams like Villarreal can come to Liverpool & bring banners to honor the Hillsborough Disaster, yet in England, in stadia permanently changed due to the Taylor Report and amongst support whose parents & grandparents dealt with the same treatment, it’s banter.
Ignore the result, it’s just noise after all of that. This Liverpool side are the absolute business.
That’s what it takes to get points off us now that we’ve settled. That’s what it takes.
Bring on the absolute world.
Will miss him terribly but won't miss this type of nonsense.
Sadio Mané made a "special request" to not publicly celebrate the AFCON win at the club out of respect for Salah.
This type of drivel dishonors the type of man Sadio is: the best of us.
Liverpool fans never treated him like a Legend, never allowed him celebrate his AFCON win, always the easy target whenever the team isn’t playing.
I’m happy Sadio Mane is finally going to a club he will be truly loved..
My man deserves to be celebrated 💪🏾.
Just imagine if a Liverpool player tweeted at another fanbase for making jokes about them I just.
Gerrard had to deal with the slip meme for over 5 years. Incredible scenes.
Harry Kane lied about his tackle, which clearly did not win the ball & only ended innocuously bc Robbo was in the air, softening the contact.
Robbo didn’t lie about his, because he’s a better person.
Footballers who don’t respect their fellow professionals are the worst for me
It takes a lot of courage to go public about either of those things. You feel you need a lot of evidence and the amount of evidence you have never feels like enough.
Waiting to get evidence (you probably don’t hit record the first time it happens, for ex) creates other critiques
@joe_weller_
I will not be signing this petition because doing this would have a disproportionate impact on marginalized people who rely on anonymity to safely exist online authentically.
I’m not having twitter trying to convince me that Liverpool under Klopp are not good actually bc they lost the league by a point etc etc. English football tribalism online is so tiring. Klopp’s Reds have been the most fun I’ve ever had watching this side bc they’re incredible.
Leaving an abusive partner is dangerous. This is something that’s never mentioned when people flippantly ask “why didn’t they leave?” When you hear about spousal murders, know the most common time for them to happen is in days following someone leaving an abusive spouse.
A lot of clubs’ social media teams tweeted to honor Hillsborough yesterday.
Start holding your fans accountable then. When they sing “always the victims”.
It’s that easy.
Not being funny, but I’m so grateful that Endō is the midfielder we get to root for and watch this season. Of course there’s something to be said for the “you’d hate him if he didn’t play for you” players, but this fella is absolutely built for us, heart and head. Immense again.
Hahahaha an American, Clint Dempsey, just asked Jamie Carragher if he’d rather see Liverpool win the league or England win a World Cup. Man just laughed at him and said “that’s not controversial” and Dempsey was FLABBERGASTED.
Andy Robertson laughing at Pickford trying to look hard and it riling up the entire team is one of my fave moments in some time. These have completely lost the plot.
Struggling to cope with the fact that a football manager can articulate why you should get a booster shot — and be vaccinated in general — better than an actual government.
This and the fact that Joelinton mimed brandishing a yellow card twice in view of the central official — all going unpunished — is an issue. You simply cannot have a crackdown on a type of action and apply it unevenly *within the same game*.
Never noticed at the time but having watched the game back, around 20 seconds after the Trent booking, Gordon commits a foul and then kicks the ball away as we went to take the free-kick. Ref seen it and ignored it 🤷🏻♂️
Small reminder that Leeds are the ones who broke Elliot’s ankle and then their fans sang about it with glee when he got stretchered off.
Right into these the Wednesday.
🗣 "I thought it was a strong tackle but I won the ball."
Harry Kane defends his potential red card saying in the manner of the game you see strong tackles
Liverpool banged in five goals to secure two wins out of two in the Champions League group stage, but unhinged Liverpool FT are whinging that they can't enjoy the sport because the squad depth is too thin.
What do these people do for fun? It's certainly not enjoying the footy.
I don’t want anyone who has experienced the violence I mention to listen to the audio. I would like people who haven’t, especially straight men, to listen to it. Because it’s an extreme example of what happens when you (often unconsciously) think your partner owes you sex.
I’m just a girl, standing in front of pundits, absolutely begging them to not treat chances rendered null by a late offside flag as though they’re defensive errors.
10+ - Mohamed Salah is the first player to score or assist in 10 consecutive appearances in the Premier League since Mohamed Salah between August-December 2021 (15 games in a row). Priceless.
In another direction, I’m tired of complaints that women are claiming rape to get money and/or status. Both men and women are raped at alarming levels and there’s very little legal or financial restitution for victims at any financial level, just trauma.
As a female football fan I’m going to be absolutely delighted to ask men who complain about the Mané goal being called onside if they understand the offside rule.
Might just start explaining it to them unprompted.
Everton fuming that Konaté has stayed on, but I was told that we shouldn’t dwell on bad officiating — even when it rises to the level of “gross human error” — and instead should move on immediately: it’s part of the game.
What have I got wrong?
@SusanSarandon
Hello Susan. let me Guess: you are also a
@LFC
fan, and think that Steven Gerrard was a better player then Andres Iniesta.
My friend
@james_bb25
was right about you...
Honestly that P*ki on the Salah mural needs to be spoken about more than it is rn. Livid it wasn’t mentioned in the statement.
Not in a tribal way: Deeply shameful for the city of Liverpool that anyone would think that’s remotely something that can be done and be alright.
I am, to be clear, not suggesting this fella (if it is him) was going to kill his partner. I’m mainly saying this to stop the very tired “just go or your complaints aren’t real” shout. Very often people feel they’re more in danger if they do go.
I know it’s easy to get lost in the happiness of it all, but I don’t want anyone to overlook the fact that Everton got absolutely flattened by Southampton without managing a shot on target.
“He’s been allowed to criticize the human rights record of Qatar on the BBC; why, then, is he not allowed to criticize the human rights record of the country he lives in?”
Wild that Sky Sports is now the best political outlet in UK Media
If a little booing is shockingly disrespectful to the extent that it dominates the sports pages I’m sure it’s not unreasonable to suggest that tragedy chanting — which is fundamentally more disrespectful than any protest could be — should take up the same space. Always.
The sooner you realize that Trent Alexander-Arnold’s primary job is not to “be a steadfast and formidable defender” — and that Liverpool’s tactical system reflects that fact — the sooner you will know true peace.
Honestly, the more power the person has the scarier it is to report. Why lie about something that’s going to ruin your life, because the person you’re accusing will probably win given there are no witnesses and they can afford big lawyers? These views are holding us back.
“Cannot believe Liverpool are upset about an incorrect decision when my club were denied a goal due to a correctly called offside once!!!!”
Men who don’t understand the offside rule shouldn’t be allowed to speak on it on twitter imo
Show Dida’s penalties in that same final you cowards
Cite the referee saying that if the ghost goal wasn’t given it would’ve been a pen to Liverpool and sending off
Don’t worry about facts though when you can just do Liverpool Bad tweets from almost 20 years ago Lmaoooo
The decision for Liverpool on Saturday was wrong and an apology made.
However, the entitlement complex has kicked in again and you’d thing they’re the only club to have a decision go against them…
A phantom goal got them in the final and Dudek 6 yards off his line won it.
“My team lost after a match official added time to reflect time wasting and I, as a person who understands why extra time is introduced as ‘a minimum of x minutes,’ truly and deeply believe that this is the same thing as a goal being incorrectly not registered due to an error”
If Liverpool want to overturn a score affected by VAR then I am fully behind them. I think we should right the wrongdoings in all past games, starting with getting our point back from this game, which incorrectly overran by a few minutes which affected the result.
To help those who don’t seem to understand how LFC have been able to afford big signings: if you sell a lot of players—or sell a player for a lot of money—you get money! Money you can spend!!
This is different than having unlimited money to spend because you’re backed by a state
I love Liverpool Football Club for many reasons, and a new one I will add today is that the Reds never embarrassed me with this type of league double when we were shit and these were good.
Respectable outlets trying to stir up controversy about a pretty routine called foul massively contributes to the dire state of officiating discourse here and on panel chats, and it’s not spoken about nearly enough.
Engagement tweets with eyeball emojis from BBC Sport lmao
I don’t particularly care about how you feel about R*naldo, but what I will say is that you don’t actually *have* to send tweets in support of him (if you’re a Manchester United fan). Like there’s no real need to go on long threads about what “innocent until proven guilty” means.
So what many don’t seem to realize is that if a keeper clips the attacking player like he did to Jota there it is, in fact, a foul. Doesn’t have to be dramatic or on purpose! It did affect his ability to run
Anyway, we don’t dwell on officiating decisions & move on I understand
