I’m all for supporting your spouse’s endeavours. Really I am. But by god I feel fortunate not to be one of those Insta husbands having to spend my life filming my wife prancing around in various settings constantly. While trying to enjoy a simple pint. For an audience of 9. Fuck. THAT.

NEW on Always Liverpool | “Have you heard the PL would suffer without City? Yeah, like the body misses a tumour. There’ll be a scar as a reminder it could’ve killed you, a period of recovery, more treatment to eradicate the malignancy and a mourning of the years and lifeblood it stole. But miss it?”

An extraordinary and exhausting week in the Man City cheating saga is just the beginning

I’m already tapped out. Can we get back to arguing about Florian Wirtz quick sharpish?

Kinda apt that VC is now moving into the genocide business after funding the fucking of the planet and its people non-stop for a generation.

This is an excellent summary of all the ways that City's cheating robbed us all. Sad. #LFC

"You can argue Liverpool only ever reached such levels – 110 from 114 possible points over a 38 game spell between February 2019 to February 2020, 64 consecutive home games without defeat, and 147 goals in a single season in 21/22 – because of what Klopp’s team faced" beating #MCI built by cheating

Accepts being bang to rights, says a bang to rights punishment would be “disproportionate”, talks about self-deprecation when their support has pushed back at every opportunity. Feels a little out of whack to me.

Latest great piece from @bychrissmith.bsky.social on Always Liverpool. Comparisons of Iraola’s start to Klopp’s early tenure are ones I have been feeling myself. As Chris has said previously, it’s a journey, and I for one am enjoying the start. substack.com/@homeiswhere...

substack.com

The Iraola era is a month old and all judgements are premature – I hope we can ignore the outside noise and embrace the ride

There are more parallels with Jurgen Klopp’s arrival at Liverpool than you’d think.

For all of the mediocre and sub-par sheeeeeeeite that Netflix farms, they can only muster 48 minutes for a documentary on bona fide hero like Mr. T? When the Hogan one went on for about four years? One of the best day's ever, this.

It's proper remarkable how wrong and how often Troy Deeney and Nigel Rio-Coker are wrong on Paramount+ Pair of them are clueless. Clearly don't do any research and are just happy to spout falsehoods to an entire nation. Bums.

"Now, when you look at the footage, there is that petulant kick by Bruno Fernandes into the backside of Foden. It is more petulant than violent." Bollocks. Have you ever hit your tailbone before? Hurts like fuck. Being toe-punted in it would hurt like fuck. It's far more violent than what Foden did

National outcry because a controversial goal was given against Man United in a game where one of the most horrendously adjudicated red card decisions ever gave them a man advantage for 70+ minutes. The Haaland goal didn't 'cost' Man United the game. Them being clueless against ten men at home did.

AI companies begging for the govt. to rein them could mean one-of-two things: 1) An advancement they hadn't anticipated they haven't publicly revealed yet 2) The risk of catastrophe is FAR greater than they've been letting on. Either way, the socially-inadequate soulless nerds are SHITTING IT.

That's both of them or neither of them. That is absolutely horrendous from Oliver and his lackeys. Nothing new there though. Fernandes, man. The absolute worst in the whole sport.

One of the constant follies of tech reporting is the idea of certain things being in competition with each other when they’re not. See also: Apple and Samsung phones.

Leeds vs Brighton was an absolutely brilliant game. Both teams going all out to win it, fighting tooth and nail for every ball. Both will be disappointed not to get the three points. More of this please.

Is everyone else getting spammed by Liverpool about hospitality shit at the moment? Lads, you get close to £800 a year from me and it won’t be a penny more. Refine the algorithm to target non-football fans. It’ll save you some of that ad spend.

Chris Smith @bychrissmith.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

LFC narrative is toxic. Centres around players we considered irreplaceable actually being irreplaceable. Ignores that those lads weren’t world beaters when acquired (barring maybe Ali and VVD), but coached to maximise their talent. If you have faith in our new manager, can’t we let it play out?

There's a notebook and pen at my mum's I use exclusively to write her a note each time return to the US. I've done it so many times, there's only a few pages left and the ink ran dry as I signed my name. Been saying it for years, but I'm unsure how many more times I can do it. Time to come home.

Not too peeved as I thought we responded well second half and that penalty was hideous. Good few positives to take. Isak getting a goal will help him, Munoz scoring and looking like he’ll be really useful, Wirtz demanding the ball and looking more positive. Jacquet excellent. Nil deperandum.
