If today was Ancient Rome, at what point would someone in the inner circle be assignating the fascist dictator that's clearly lost the plot and isn't acting behalf of his populace?

Hugo Ekitike and Florian Wirtz are the first pair of substitutes in Liverpool's history to both assist each other after coming on in the same match. #LFC

Frimpong isn't much of a defender, is he? Completely leaves his man alone in an acre of space by not chasing back, then can't clean the ball out when given a chance to do so.

She’s rather a smart cookie is Harriet. Using evidence logically, well spoken, not pushing too hard to raise suspicion & get herself banished or murdered
Playing the perfect Faithful game

Imagine the boost in the polls Labour would get if Starmer banned Twitter and told Trump to do one.
Musk and Trump must be two of the most hated people in the UK.

My wife, who is easily bored by scoreless draws, wanted to come up with a different method of points allocation in football.
Here's her rules and the outcome for the PL this season:
Loss = 0 pts
0-0 = 1 pt each
Score draws = 2 pts each
Wins by 1-2 goals = 3 pts
Wins by 3 goals or more = 4 pts
Here's her rules and the outcome for the PL this season:

I said Man Utd and today just reinforces that
Struggling to think of a club that have thrown away unrivalled domestic success and descended into chaos as quickly as Celtic.
This isn’t a club struggling for form or a few bad signings. The club are falling apart at every level. And it feels like it’s only going to get worse.

Not entirely sure it matters who is in charge of Man Utd.
They're more or less unmanageable because they've got a fanbase that demands first place, an ownership that will settle for fourth and a squad that would struggle to break into the top six.

Pretty much sums up Liverpool. Take the three for granted and put no pressure on someone outside the box (not for the first tie this season) and he scores a blinder.

Absolutely dire
In home games this season against Nottingham Forest, Sunderland, Wolves, and Leeds, Liverpool have generated 4 Opta-defined big chances in total. One per game.
77 shots, 6.9 xG (0.089 xG/shot) from average possession of 69.4% in those games. #LFC

Genuinely tiresome display from Liverpool. No ideas, no movement, no offering for each other, no belief, and no hope of winning a game when you play like that.
