Nothing but Irish around me. We really drove on the two Irish boys in red on the pitch. Taxi man reckoned that 80% of Liverpudlians have Irish lineage.

86% of Liverpudlians have irish heritage. Itās believed now that the scouse accent is more irish influenced than English

Atmosphere came across well on TV judging by the highlights. Hard to fully gauge where Liverpool are at so far this season. I wouldnāt say they were good today but they got the job done again and Arneās tweaks in the second-half helped turn it. A winnable league if City donāt replace Rodri in the January transfer window. It looks as if the points tally required to win it may drop below 90 points this season. Arsenal will be kicking themselves with the points that theyāve dropped recently.

Yes, Liverpool was heavily involved in the transatlantic slave trade, particularly during the 18th century. The city became one of the main British ports for the slave trade, alongside Bristol and London, due to its strategic position and economic infrastructure.
Liverpool merchants financed and organized voyages that transported enslaved Africans to the Americas, where they were forced into labor on plantations. Ships from Liverpool would travel to West Africa, where they acquired enslaved people, then journey to the Americas to trade them, and finally return to Liverpool with goods like sugar, cotton, and tobacco produced by enslaved labor. This brutal trade brought immense wealth to the city, which fueled Liverpoolās development and the construction of many of its grand buildings.
The legacy of this period is still visible in Liverpool today. Many streets, buildings, and monuments are tied to figures who profited from the slave trade. In recent years, Liverpool has taken steps to address this history, including the establishment of the International Slavery Museum, which educates the public on the history and impact

Patrick Honeybone on the Scouse dialect is worth a read. A real immigrant dialect, mainly influenced by the Irish.
But I suppose the anti immigrant crowd on here wouldnāt like that at all.
If liverpool is 86% irish (that came 150 years ago) that would suggest its way less diverse than the rest of england. Even dublin isnt 86% irish.
Abu Dhabi Blue Huns have a fairly hoorish run of fixtures coming up. The way to win this league is to win it early.

That is vintage Salah there, why didnāt the hipster coach tell the left back he was going to do that. @ChairmanDan is right
If Evan has a career like Danny welbeck heāll have done very well
