The Authentic home shirt on the Arsenal website is £120.

LFC TV I've watched a bit of it over the last few weeks and it's shite. It's actually worse than shite - it just makes me angry. Some multinational hedge fund wankers, of which we are part of their 'sports portfolio' have taken the clubs history - our history - and have packaged it up in neat little chunks to sell back to us. Just Fuck Off.

I wonder if Yvette Cooper has ever visited a dying relative in a council funded care home? Do you think she's seen first hand that without overseas recruitment that the whole sector would just collapse?

This government is unrecognisable as a Labour government. And these policies to appeal to voters not to vote Reform are just stupid. If people are attracted by the idea of reducing care worker visas by 50k, then they all Reform has to do is to say 60k. They are taking traditional labour votes for granted - and I think that’s a big mistake.

You just know they’ll bin him off at Christmas - pay him and his staff £10m, and then sack all the ticket office staff to balance the books.

"When Wataru Endo arrived in the 71st minute after Matheus Cunha’s brilliant goal, it was clear Slot was concerned. The Japanese player is Slot’s specialist closer, with Liverpool yet to concede a goal in the league this season once Endo has been subbed on. His talismanic run continued here." https://www.theguardian.com/football/2025/feb/17/premier-league-10-talking-points-from-the-weekends-action

this from the Guardian report today; "Núñez doubled his league goal tally for the season. He resembled, as ever, and at all moments, a footballer being chased around the pitch by a swarm of invisible bees."

I don't get it - Dyche has hung on for the takeover and the "werlds best stadium," and now it's happening he's decided he's had enough? I think they've told him to sell Branthwaite or something and he's fucked it off...

His career is done - and there's a wider question about whether the PGMOL were aware of these allegations years ago. But, this desire to see him humiliated and publicly shamed doesn't really sit well with me. And as for journalists at that shitty rag getting on their high horse about someone taking cocaine? Really?

Zoe's Place has raised the E5m it needed to keep operating. Respect to Home Bargains who raised £2.5m of it. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/nov/08/liverpool-baby-hospice-zoes-place-saved?CMP=share_btn_url

Irish-language sex and drugs and more drugs. Very good. 9 bags out of 10.

i always found Dublin to be like any other big city. Don't take the piss or be a dick, and you'll be fine. It's not as if england fans will make a show of themselves singing 'no surrender' and all that shite......

I think most people will have to pay more than that to get tickets. When i got Taylor Swift tickets for Anfield (for my kids, honest) they mysteriously had sold out of regular tickets, but did have some vip bullshit that came with a lanyard and a couple of photos for like £70 more. i bet they have lots of these going….

probably not my favorite songs, but just take me straight back to specific memories… bizarre love triangle - new order real gone kid - deacon blue quiet life - japan slippery people - talking heads river - king trigger

Slot is going to need some cash to bring his players in, and Mo probably brings in £60-70m..? But I do think some of the criticism of him is bollocks. People compare him to 20-21 Salah (when he was probably the best player in the world) instead of comparing him to Diaz, Gakpo or Darwin
