I’ve had a blow out at about 50 and you would be surprised how easy it is to control and and stop. Not saying it was reckless driving but overtaking in a Lamborghini I doubt it was at a low speed. Still sad all the same!
Just won the league, just won the Nations League, just got married to his lovely wife, 3 beautiful children, probably at his peak happiness professionally & privately.
Life is feckin horrible sometimes, my thoughts go out to the family, can't imagine what they are going through.
I did say possibly we all know some cars are easier to control than others plus more factors will come into play than just the tyre, like speed, road conditions, driver experience and car model being just some. Either way it is an unfortunate accident which has robbed a family of two young men.

I need to stop reading things my dinner here or I will completely break down
Heads completely gone trying to work since this devastating news broke earlier. As we know more than most, football really matters little in the great scheme of things.
28 man. No life.

Arne Slot statement - Liverpool FC
What to say? What can anyone say at a time like this when the shock and the pain is so incredibly raw? I wish I had the words but I know I do not.

So touching.
I just can’t process this right now.

Its amazing how the death of someone you have never met, can have such a huge effect on you
Cried several times already today. I cant even begin to think how his family feel, and everyone who actually knew him and was a part of their life

I still feel sick to my core reading the tributes and knowing all the stuff that goes unnoticed behind the scenes, you can tell he was genuinely a good bloke above all. Robbos tribute to him was so heartfelt and you can tell how much he meant to the squad.
From a selfish point of view looking forward to pre season and the season to come but it goes to show none of this matters in the grand scheme of things but more importantly to tell our loved ones how much they mean to us.

Not a big fan of retiring numbers, but proper fitting the club have done the right thing with Jota’s.

The tributes the past 96 hours or so, from not only the wider football community, but from most every walk of life and aspect of society, has been truly humbling and an awesomely beautiful thing to see in our dark sadness with the tragic passing of the Jota brothers.
I still am struggling to process and rationalise our loss personally. Going to the ground yesterday, as emotional as that was, helped enormously in just being around people sharing the same struggles with our collective grief. Coming together to honour and remember one of our own. And support each other, as families do, in their darkest hour. But it was the amount of opposition messages on flowers and cards, that has been echoed the World over, from the highest levels of Governments, through artists paying tributes at gigs; footballers, current and past; the sporting community at large; non-football fans et al, that truly blew me away and put a smile on my face through the sadness. Restoring your belief in the good in people. But within all that, as much as we are hurting as Liverpool supporters, as much as the wider football community has been so visibly touched by last Thursday’s tragedy, as much as the great Nation of Portugal is in National mourning for one of its best loved sons and his brother, it all pails when you consider the unimaginable pain Diogo’s parents must be going through having lost two sons in the blink of an eye. And his newly married wife now without her life partner. The father to their three young kids so cruelly robbed of a father ….. So I’d like to pay a special tribute to the one thing that ties us all together as family. Liverpool Football Club.
You’ll Never Walk Alone. Four little words so freely thrown around without thinking of what they stand for by many. But four little words that have always held deep meaning for many of us. Not a flippant slogan or chant. Because YNWA isn’t just a thing we say. It’s a thing we live. A way of life in taking care of your own and standing up for what you believe to be right. And rarely have they felt more pertinent than right now.
And Liverpool FC have lead the way in showing that ethos the past 4 days. They have been nothing short of sheer, utter class in stepping up to the plate with no fuss or ceremony. Doing what’s right to take care of one of our own and showing everyone how you should conduct yourselves at a time like this. With the utmost class and compassionate dignity. People are oft very quick to jump on Fenway. But they really have been exemplary in the speed of their reaction here and deserve all the respect going.
From retiring his number. Which they are effectively doing even if they haven’t used that exact terminology as yet. In fact, I couldn’t think of a more distinct way to describe that than they will be ‘immortalizing’ Diogo’s number. Ensuring his legacy here for eternity. Beautiful and fitting.
Then, with no fuss or publicity, honouring the remainder of his contract so his family is taken care of financially. And adding to that by establishing extra education funds so his kids will have the best possible opportunities in their academic life. To set them up for life.
Putting back the start of pre-season to allow the players and staff to properly grieve and be able to attend the funeral.
YNWA really does mean more and is the entire ethos of what this magnificent football club is built on. Our club, our fanbase, is built on empathy. We care, we feel, we show up. We look after our own.
God rest Diogo.
You’ll NEVER walk alone.
FOREVER our Number 20!

First day of pre-season. First day of getting back to it and starting to heal. Probably the best thing for everyone.
Seems to me, as if any more were needed, we use this as extra motivation to go retain it for # 20.
We go again …..

Preston’s on Sunday. Good to be getting back to normality slowly
Not having it ITV were always showing it BTW before last weeks tragic events. They never do pre-season and there was F all mention before 2 days ago.

All the best Chelsea Sunday.
I think we may need a new abacus for the Super Cup.

If Diaz going leads to Gordon arriving, I’ll write the transfer request for him.

I never really have had more than a passing interest in pre-season friendlies. I always caveat anything I write after one with something along the lines of it ‘just being an extended training session kick-around …..’ So there’s a reason I wasn’t just up the road at Preston today for the first of L’pool’s preparation games building up to our title defence.
But today was different.
Today was FAR more than just a fitness exercise/ slowly regaining match sharpness/ team cohesion. Today was FAR more than a mere game of summer football prep. Today was our first emotional return to action since Diogo’s sad passing. So there’s little need to talk on the actual game/ Liverpool’s win/ Rio, Trey and Nallo looking PROPER players/ seeing all the new signings in Red for the first time et al.
Today was the next step in the healing process nobody at, or concerned with, LFC, should ever have to go through. But here we sadly are again. Today was about the next step forward for players, staff and fans alike to start to play again whilst the passing of the Jota brothers is still so raw with the grieving process on-going. Football never pauses. Even for death. And today was the next step in moving forward.
The first step in beginning again.
I would imagine the viewing figures on ITV are records for a friendly. As this has hit all levels of society hard. Today was FAR from a mere game of football. It was a shared, collective emotion for the tragic loss of two young lives that have affected all social spectrums like I honestly can’t remember.
Today hasn’t brought closure. We aren’t a club or fanbase that EVER forgets our own. Today was the first step in reconnecting to what Diogo represented so perfectly. To start to make sense of something that makes no sense at all. To return to football. The very thing Diogo lived for.
Nothing could possibly prepare anyone for this. But today was the first collective step in getting back to some normality. A massive, heartfelt thank you to all connected with Preston North End for the dignified, respectful way you helped set us on the journey again.
Today was a big step in the healing process. Although I’ll defo be a proper mess the CS and Bournemouth openers if that before today was anything to go by. I was totally gone again. And then seeing the players gone at the end in front of the support …..
#20. Forever in our hearts.

On the day the dance to Isak returning to Newcastle wearing Red BH Monday officially started, not sure why Diaz doesn’t want to be a part of this? But sound. Tra’ lad. All the best.
And Konate needs sitting for the season too if he won’t extend. Madrid can’t keep getting away with this disgrace.
