Steve Albini has called on Joe Rogan to follow the example of Insane Clown Posse, as Rogan continues to face a backlash over the content of his Spotify podcast.Rogan recently apologised after it emerged that he had used the N-word multiple times on his show, calling it “the most regretful and shameful thing I’ve had to talk about publicly” before arguing that the clips had been “taken out of context of 12 years of conversations on my podcast”.He was already under fire after Neil Young, Joni Mitchell and more removed their music from Spotify in response to vaccine misinformation promoted by guests on his show, which has been exclusive to the streaming platform since a $100million deal was struck in 2020.On Monday (February 7), Albini shared an interview with Insane Clown Posse’s Violent J from 2020 in which the musician acknowledged problematic lyrics in the band’s music.Discussing ICP’s 2000 collaboration with Three 6 Mafia, which contains the line “sick like a diseased Ethiopian,” Violent J told Stereogum: “I was that stupid. I didn’t understand the offensiveness in that.

Liverpool may be forced to shell out a massive fee to replace Georginio Wijnaldum this summer after missing out on a readymade replacement because of concerns over the player's height.The Reds look set to lose Wijnaldum for nothing when his contract runs out, with Barcelona mooted as the Dutchman's preferred destination.Jurgen Klopp knows he'll have to recruit a replacement for the 30-year-old - but his job might have been a lot easier had the Reds pursued their interest in Celta Vigo's Renato Tapia.

Liverpool secured a 1-0 win against Wolves on Monday night.The Reds once again showed glimpses of their normal selves away from Anfield as Diogo Jota struck against his old club to nab all three points.But there was very little to separate the two sides for the majority of the first half before the Portugal international struck in the second minute of added time.Mohamed Salah twice almost doubled the lead, but was stopped by a fine save from Rui Patricio, who unfortunately went off with a serious head injury, and an offside call.So as Liverpool continue to turn the tide on their disappointing season, here’s two things Klopp got right and one he didn’t at Wolves.Liverpool’s front three looked revitalised with Diogo Jota leading the line

Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson has revealed all on the musical talent at the club, and it seems the Reds can almost form a band.Alisson has cemented his place as one of the best stoppers in the world at Anfield, helping the Kopites win the Champions League and Premier League.But it’s not just football that this successful side is talented at, it seems.Giving a nod to Liverpool and musical royalty The Beatles, Alisson has opened up on the stars who fancy themselves a bit when it comes to producing a tune.As well as his own guitar skills, the Brazilian’s fellow countryman Firmino is apparently no stranger to the piano, while Reds boss Klopp has previously revealed that he plays the drums.“On one of my very first days after joining Liverpool,

Liverpool could still be considered the second best team in the Premier League.Ahead of the trip to Wolves, the Reds sit down in eighth after a miserable run of form, especially at home.However, in the last 48 months they have lifted the Champions League and Premier League with essentially the same side Jurgen Klopp still has at his disposal.Manchester United have enjoyed a decent rise this term, and now sit in that second spot, closely followed by Leicester.But Owen, unlike Wright it seems, thinks that that presents a false narrative between his former clubs."The table obviously says that [United are second best] so you've obviously got to lean with that," Owen told Premier League Productions."I still watch them and try to fathom out 'what

Liverpool are set to pay a notable instalment to Wolves for the transfer of Diogo Jota ahead of the new Premier League season having paid only £4million up front.The two clubs agreed to a lengthy payment structure due to recent financial constraints placed on even the highest levels of football, with an additional £1million being paid last December.The 24-year-old has recently returned to Jurgen Klopp’s first-team plans following a spell on the sidelines with a knee problem, but is yet to rediscover his fine form from late 2020.Jota scored four goals across five Premier League outings between October and November as well as four Champions League goals across two fixtures during the same period.Although Liverpool will be delighted to have

Liverpool midfielder Xherdan Shaqiri has claimed the absence of supporters has made it easier for the ‘smaller clubs’ to pick up results at Anfield.The champions are in the midst of a wretched run of form, having lost six successive home games in the process.Recent results have left Liverpool’s hopes of a top-four finish hanging in the balance, eight points off the final Champions League spot.It’s now been more than a year since stadiums have been full, with clubs still adjusting to the impact of the coronavirus pandemic.And Shaqiri believes an empty Anfield has given opponents a boost, giving the likes of Burnley, Brighton, Fulham renewed hope of winning."Everybody knows how our fans are when they push us,” he told Sky Sports.
