Worried about the global economy? These prints do not need to be sent through any Strait to get to you and are safe from any shipping shenanigans, AND you can burn them for fuel when all our oil runs out ✨

I had a look at Liverpool's Anfield record in European knockout games since the 2019 Barca miracle, totting up wins, losses, draws, eliminations and progressions.

It is NOT good.

At all.

I'm still editing and tweaking this article, really excited to release it. I wrote the majority of it about four years ago and had no outlet for it, but now that I'm in love with substack it will be out Monday morning at 7am

As a Liverpool fan who is perpetually suspicious of them, particularly this season, I have a bad feeling about the spurs match, it's just too perfect a situation

and the Galatasaray match, going out at home to a team with no fans is also looking a bit too perfect

let me be wrong

Probably top three in my changes-with-the-wind list of favourite goals ever. Watched it in a packed student union that lapsed into increasingly hushed reverence with every replay.

My upcoming LFC article has 6600 words and 3 pieces of art.

'Why Istanbul is the most important trophy in the history of the club.'

It’s subjective but has been broken up into many small segments discussing minor moments in the match.

It’s out on Monday 16th at 7am.
