I hear ya! I'm still recycling while hoping it's not being shipped abroad & burned!

It seems like the established & evidenced climate situation is just being overwritten now by some! And there are no consequences for them!

Well done for sharing that. An unexpected/unwanted change like that can be a huge blow to your system, so it's good to express that whirlwind of emotions and the things you're gonna miss. Take care of yourself while you navigate these choppy waters. You've got this.

Tough viewing tonight.

#Liverpool were very poor, but I don't begrudge Wolves. They deserved points from the game, I just wish it hadn't been all 3!!

And we get to do it all again on Friday!!

I'm still hopeful we'll play in Europe next season. Chin up, keep fighting.

The Sunderland game without Dom is gona be an interesting one.

What a cracking game!

Disappointing result but we need to take our chances when we get them.

Wish Donnarumma hadn't made that incredible save as a draw felt fair.

Some really strong individual performances but not our day.

March on #LiverpoolFC
