I Saw A Plane. It Probably Has Virgil Van Dijk On It
With rabid Liverpool fans having allegedly crashed a flight-tracking website while investigating Virgil van Dijk's whereabouts, it has become clear that technology cannot be trusted at this moment. We must know where Virgil van Dijk is and what he is doing, and if technology proves unreliable to our cause then said technology must be binned.

Five English Clubs, Five Chances For Heartbreak In Champions League
