Coaching a kids team soccer and telling a kid he had been playing too rough for the age group and then getting a nice supportive text from the parent.

You're kidding... Surprised you did not get threatened with leaving-the-club/lawsuit/tarring and feathering.

Unusual parent, that one...

I know, I was quite taken aback. This came in by email at 12.30 AM. It's ridiculously polite. The two kids are brothers and the football reference is about how one of them plays like American football and not soccer.

Coach Andy,

Thank you for saying something to my Mom about XXXX and XXX play and how they have been too aggressive. We wanted them on the same team this season but we knew there was the potential for their sibling rivalry to spill over onto the soccer field - thanks for your patience. In addition to my parents speaking with the boys after you said something while we were out of town I spoke with the boys tonight when I got home. I know what I was like at their age and I had to learn self-control on the field the hard way (by sitting out and / or getting penalized)...I'm glad XXX and XXX have a coach who cares about soccer being played the right way and wants to see boys grow into men. I fully support whatever you feel needs to be done to help them self-regulate the way they play in the heat of the action. I've asked XXX to be conscious of setting a good example for XXX by not getting chippy with him in practice, and I told XX I expected him to play soccer as a soccer player on the field and not a football player. If there is anything we can do to help, please let me know.

I have just fired off an email to MacKenzie Bezos. I explained how A) we are both reasonably attractive, B) I'm just a few years older, and C) we are now both very, very single and available.

Our planets have aligned.

Destiny summons.

Love -- and a shallow, disgustingly luxurious lifestyle -- awaits.

I expect a prompt reply in the affirmative.

3 – Mohamed Salah has become just the second player in Premier League history to score in each of his first three matches on a Friday, after Thierry Henry who scored in all four of his such matches in the competition. Freaky. #SOULIV

Watching Klopp and the lads celebrate and hug after the match yesterday. Echoes of 2013/2014 where I for the first time in my life got the feeling that we actually have a chance to win the damn thing. (I realize I just brought up the 13/14 season in the happiness thread, but you know what I mean)

It might be a bit shallow but I'm happy, Rachel Riley just liked something I tweeted to her. The amount of abuse she gets is outrageous. So I gave her a bit of support. It was nothing to do with sitting on my face.

When you look at the hourly weather forecast for tomorrow & next few days, & the forecast has the sunshine symbol in the 8pm slot, you realise sunset from tomorrow is after 8pm[7.59pm sunset tonight].

it was very much taken for granted the years under Rafa.

5 years in a row with him, 3 of them we weren't a million miles away from winning it plus the year we won it of course

That night when we murdered Real Madrid at Anfield was a special one. Casillas kept it down to 4 that night.

he has been back since, a fairly comfortable 3-0 win for real madrid that night

still cant believe how lazy balotelli was that night. i actually got a ban here the next day when i posted about it and i wont repeat what i said but it wasnt wrong

he was a disgrace
