Hot on the heels of a terrible season, marked by tragedy, injury, mismanagement, and the eventual departure of stars like Mo Salah and Andy Robertson, news that Bezos might have a stake in the club went down like a late Everton equaliser in a derby.

Would be nice if there was one aspect of my life that was Bezos free. Like next week I'm going to read he has purchased a stake in one of my kids.

Isak carries the ball into the opponent's box. There's no-one there to challenge him. So he takes a photo of the ball and leaves it there.

A lot of people getting super angry about this.
I dunno though – at least I'll finally have a RATIONAL reason to hate Liverpool, so that's a good thing, no?

Liverpool will now play with only nine players on the pitch who will be asked to do more with less.
