The Artful Dodger

Twitter is an open sewer. It is human beings with the power to be heard. Human beings are nearly all appalling.

Superb move by Corbyn, has exposed the Lib Dems as the Tory-lite opportunists that they are. Brilliant seeing all the 'liberals' squirm on this.

I don't think so. As far as I'm aware the central contract means that the players are paid by the ECB and not the county club, who only pay them by appearance?

Just finished the first series of derry girls. It was very good, as a bit of comedy snob I was pleasantly surprised. Some genuinely very well written bits.

Pogba's been saying he may leave again today, good timing

She's made a bit of a fool of herself here. Despite occasionally voting Green, I'm yet to be convinced that they are actually the allies of working class people they proclaim to be. There is a strong whiff of the middle class liberal about them, focus on stuff that makes them look 'right on' but their backgrounds are generally privileged.

60 grand, 60 grand seamus Coleman. He'll be well remembered at Everton in yesrs to come.

Definitely cause for hope this season. Maybe the Zaha thing wasn't such a bad thing, I just think anything Arsenal produce is bound to be bollocks so I'm very doubtful on Iwobi. I'd like to be proven wrong. I rate silva though so think it'll be a better season than last, I really hope he takes the league Cup seriously and goes all out. Also, just best Liverpool once. It's been fucking 10 years.

Is Tom Davies good enough?

There's something to be said for keeping the same team together, only thing you worry about is injuries. Last year everything went right for Liverpool, none of their better players missed any significant periods of the season. Will they cope if one of them goes out for a long time this year? Shaqiri or Origi replace Salah or Mane?

Why do people bother arguing about American gun laws? It's never going to change. They can't change.

Is Wilder ducking Joshua? Joshua has enough to worry about before focussing on anything Wilder/Fury related.

Edgbaston was a good choice for the first Test, England traditionally do better here than Lords and the pitch usually gives a lot.

Warner gone early, was hoping he'd get 100 to wind up the sanctimonious England fans.

A video has emerged of him mocking the way Harry Kane speaks done when he was at Fulham. Might make things a bit awkward if he ever gets in the England squad, we're all tits when we're 16 and got to wonder who has stored that and kept it waiting for the right moment to sell it.

The drive to get rid of 'counterfeit' stuff is nothing to do with a care for quality but just to try and make as many people as possible pay the rip off price they sell the official merch too. Many of the stalls you see around town or by anfield will effectively be made illegal, is that what they want? I see the spirit of shankly have come out against it and quite rightly.

'Tinpot' or not, City of Liverpool are a club which cater for those Liverpool and Everton fans who cannot afford to go to those games and to those just sick of the rampant commercial side of top flight football. They've risen through the leagues fast and I wouldn't bet against a similar trajectory to someone like FCUM and them being in the upper echelons of the non-league system within a few years. They are a Liverpool club for the people of Liverpool, to have the greedy, grasping behemoth Liverpool FC try and snatch that away from them for a few more pennies sums up that club's arrogance and pure contempt for the general public. It also means small local businesses won't be able to sell non-official goods around the ground or city, meaning fans will have to shell out in the overpriced, shitty club shop. Awful club and no fan should defend this cuntish move.

Liverpool are attempting to copyright the name 'Liverpool' now, their greed knows no bounds.

Everton are a big club with a big fanbase, people forget that.

Liverpool have announced that they are set push their capacity above 60k, rather than settling for 58k. Coincidence it's on the day Everton's plans will become more clear? Anyway, good news and it should be as close to 70k as possible. Liverpool shouldn't be piddling around with the same as Arsenal, Spurs and Man City, who with all due respect, don't have anything like the same fanbase.

Always gets a big attendance and it's literally 17 miles away and costs only a few quid. Usually packed with scallies.

Also, Maradona was the greatest footballer of all time. Stokes is, er well, a fairly decent player.

What happened to his wife battering case? You just don't hear about the multiple crimes of the Mancs at all, Manchester's media foothold the main reason.

Bit close to Manchester there, I don't see that going well.

I'd love someone to give Rees-Mogg a proper dig.
