'Why Liverpool's PL title will be forever entwined with my daughter's birth' Read here.

Good morning, I'm starting the day with a nice bit of wholesome content to brighten things up. It's a personal story from last season & why #LFC's title win has an extra special meaning for me:

After a week of travelling between three different countries, time for a Daddy & Daughter day🩷

And I think I’ve somehow managed to master celebrating a winner wildly without waking up my wife and five-month old daughter…

One day, Liverpool Football Club will do me a major mischief.

Just heard some really loud bangs in Doha. Hope everyone stays safe & looks after themselves🙏🏻 🇶🇦

Football. Christ on a bike.

Back on the airwaves tonight from 18:00. Do tune in if you like 📻

Took Cece on her first visit to the home of the champions today and she looked very impressed with the shiny big thing that they won❤️

Back to asking myself the question of what will come first: my unborn child* or Liverpool winning the league.

*Due this week.

Didn’t think anything could be harder than a Glastonbury ticket sale until I tried to buy 110’s this morning💀

And that, ladies & gentlemen, is Liverpool FC’s 100th win against Everton at the game of association football.

Don’t know why, but every time I hear Strand Larsen’s name I think of Brian Potter shouting ‘STRANRAER’ in Phoenix Nights.

If only I’d watched it before last July…

(Only joking)

You just know that “The House of Bamboo” is now going to become a staple in Scouse parties & a regular request on the Croc karaoke.

I’m not sure if anyone else has made this point yet, but is it fair to say that Gakpo’s injury has been a defining moment in recent weeks? I know Diaz through the middle wasn’t perfect, but Gakpo’s form negated that set-up to a degree & he eased the goal scoring burden on Salah.

If any good comes from this week then it’s that whatever happens between now and May, Slot has got a massive summer ahead. The end is nigh for many in this team.

*Includes UEFA Super Cups & Club World Cup. Does not include Charity/Community Shields*

On the morning of the 1974 FA Cup Final, Newcastle (11) had won more trophies than Liverpool (10). Since then, Liverpool have won 41 trophies.

Maybe, but I just thought it was a strange tactic if so.

Most baffling aspect of last night is why did Van Dijk win the toss before kick-off but chose the ball over which end to attack?

Currently mentally preparing myself for a weekend in April where I become a father and Liverpool are crowned champions…

Not a bad way to mark 8 years in the current job…

As my Grandad used to say: “If you can’t be good, be lucky.”

Up the Reds✊🏻

Hands up if you think Liverpool are going to win the league…

Liverpool have won away against both Man City & Man Utd in the same season for the first time since 1989-90. Omen?

Ah well, if there’s an omen that I’m clinging to after tonight then it’s this…

Gutted👎🏻Only discovered this show during the Euros & it became a valuable source of info that helped me in the day job. Hope the show comes back some day & best of luck with whatever comes next for you!
