Watched the #LFC game this morning. Honestly, nothing much changed for me in terms of how I was feeling throughout last week, which was flat. Ordinarily I'd be a combination of angry and frustrated at various aspects of the game, and yet I mostly feel...not much at all. Because it means nothing.

European capitals should now stop talking and instead seize Russian assets in Euroclear to expedite funding to Ukraine Lots of thinking has been done on how to overcome Belgium's opposition. Those plans should now be put in place

Usually I'd be desperate for proper footy to be back after an international break, especially with a huge game up next, and yet I just feel...flat. Footy is supposed to be an escape from real life but increasingly it mirrors the cynicism, corruption and lack of accountability we see beyond the game.

Burnham's speech hasn't gone unnoticed in Brussels (where I am) Maybe Canada helped pave the way But a sense among senior officials here there's a more purposeful and political Govt in London that's willing to be clearer and more strategic about what it wants with/from EU

Ever wondered what it must’ve been like on the bridge aboard the Titanic? Check out the statements by the Man City execs. Is that an iceberg?! No, it’s 115 charges we know nothing about & are innocent of. Laughable.

Stripping City’s titles is the biggest thing, for me. It completely undermines the reason behind it all, & shames their owners. All that time, effort, & money spent for nothing. It’s a chef’s kiss.

Cowardice. That's the summary of England since they scored. Getting what they essentially willed into being. The extent to which I'd be absolutely furious if this was a #LFC performance cannot be overstated. How they didn't find a way to threaten as Argentina pushed forward is madness.

I’m not really bothered whether Hughes stays or goes, or whether he’s running the ship or not. In the end, it doesn’t matter. What matters is that Liverpool gets business done, & gives Iraola the best chance possible to right the wrongs of last season, in which those same suits were complicit.

I thought Mel Reddy put it brilliantly; that Liverpool should always be defiant. Whether it’s through Rafa’s organised belligerence, or Klopp’s in your face style, the overwhelming sense is that Liverpool should always be a challenge to anyone, & never, ever, deferential.
