A comprehensive look at the Bezos situation from Chris here..
Chris Smith@bychrissmith.bsky.social · 2d agoNew on Always Liverpool | Free post on Jeff Bezos buying a stake in LFC... "I guarantee you the fans who’ll descend upon Anfield in a couple of weeks have entered his head no more than an ant hill in the garden if you or I were buying a house." alwaysliverpool.substack.com/p/bezos-owne...
That government alert went off on 5 phones in our house, all at slightly different times. I was running around the place thinking a smoke alarm had gone off! 🤣
People of Clacton! Show your support for me by putting a bin outside your house, one day this week, of a colour of Tendring Council's choice. This will be unequivocal proof of the success of my campaign.
Just been reading about the investment and it's all very depressing in my opinion. They will own around a third of the club. Bhatia (a Tory donor) & Saverin are venture capitalists. They will just want profit from this. Bezos gave Trump $1 million for his inaugural fund. He's clearly a c**t!
Good to sign an experienced defender in Araújo. I don't recall watching him play but to have played 143 games for Barca he must have something about him. A big lad at 6'3 so fingers crossed he's decent in the air. Hopefully more signings to come. 🤞
On holiday in Slovenia & I've gone native with my lunch. Ričet (barley stew) & sausage. 👨🍳😘
What is Richard Hughes playing at? Robbo talking sense as usual.. youtube.com/shorts/0v3hf...
Is Iraola Being Set Up To Fail?

Under a Binface government, anyone who doesn’t accept human-made climate change as fact will be sent back to school, from Year 1 right the way to A Levels, to see if anything goes in the second time round. #VoteBinface
Very sad news about Kevin Keegan. He lived a life most people can only dream of but at 75 he's gone too soon.
I am only still watching in the hope that someone clubs him round the back of the head with the World Cup.
Well done Spain. The best team won. It really put me off Argentina as a nation, watching that. A horrible bunch of footballers!
I photographed Wrexham's game at Hereford in 2008 which saw them relegated to the Conference. Fast forward 18 years.. Hereford went bust, reformed and lost today's friendly against Bishops Cleeve of the Southern League Div 1 South. Wrexham, of the Championship, are beating Man United in Helsinki. 🤷♂️
Micah Richards there who never played in a major international tournament. Give it a rest, son!
"Spain is a terrible partner in NATO. They don’t participate. They don’t pay. I don’t want anything to do with Spain. Cut off all trade with Spain, please, including visits. Don’t even talk to them. They’re hopeless, bad people". Trump, 6 days ago. 11 days before presenting the World Cup trophy.
There's no way Trump is letting Spain win this World Cup. Not a chance that he's willing to hand them the trophy. It feels like England are basically a shoo-in at this point.
At the Hill Dickinson, watching the egg chasing with my Dad. It's quite warm!
So a slight tug by Macallister isn't enough to give a penalty to Egypt but a slight tug at the other end of the field was enough to deny Egypt a goal 🤔
Good luck Andoni Iraola! A season of being competitive for the top 5 but playing a more exciting brand of football will do for me. I am impressed by his welcome interview, especially the talk of working with Academy and fringe players over pre-season. It sounds like he has a strong work ethic. 🤞
I normally err on the faintly pessimistic side of realistic with regards to most things. I feel quite positive about Iraola though. I think he could be a good fit for Liverpool. He's a keen cyclist too which pleases me. Looking forward to the pre-season bike pics already.
I think the changes to Liverpool FC's ticketing process is a step in the right direction on the whole. They won't please everyone and I don't think it will make much difference to me and my 2 credits. It's a very good thing that people can no longer buy their way to 13+ credits through hospitality.
The title was glorious, this season has been a hard watch. Arne Slot will always be remembered as a Premier League winning coach. It's up to the squad now to perform for his replacement next season.
Sad to hear Konate's off. He was a great signing at first. Defensively solid and popped up with a few goals. He's got progressively worse over the years though and although I know he had very difficult personal issues to deal with he had become a liability. I'll remember him for the '22 semi-final.
Visiting Cambridge for the first time with the family. An absolute gem of a city. Easily one of the nicest city centres I've been to in the UK. I don't know why they've labelled that sculpture as being Charles Darwin though? It's clearly Terry Wogan!
