2d ago Khaosod

Mohamed Salah, Liverpool's star forward, has posted on social media expressing his desire to see Liverpool return to their aggressive, dominant style of play—what he calls their "heavy metal" approach—despite the painful defeats that come with it.

Under manager Arne Slot, Liverpool has underperformed significantly this season, failing to win any major titles and currently sitting fifth in the Premier League table, uncertain whether they will secure a spot in next season's UEFA Champions League. The team suffered a crushing 4-2 defeat to Aston Villa on May 15, prompting Salah to share his feelings ahead of what appears to be his final match with the club this coming weekend.

"I have seen this club transform from doubters to believers, and from believers to champions," Salah said. "It took hard work, and I did everything I could to help the club reach that point. Nothing has made me more proud than that."

"Losing again this season has been painful, and it's not what our fans deserve," he continued. "I want to see Liverpool return as that heavy metal attacking team that opponents fear, and return as champions. That's the football I know should be played, and that's the identity that needs to come back and be protected. There can be no compromise, and everyone who joins this club should adapt to it."

Salah emphasized that inconsistent results fall short of Liverpool's standards. "Winning sometimes and losing sometimes is not what Liverpool should be. Any team can pick up wins," he stated.

He concluded by reaffirming his commitment to the club's success: "Liverpool will always mean a great deal to me and my family. I want to see it succeed long after I'm gone. As I've always said, qualifying for the Champions League next season is the minimum target, and I'll do everything I can to achieve that."

Luang Pho Yai of Wat Dang Chachoengsao Brings Luck Again as Lottery Numbers Hit, Over 20 Villagers Win 10 Tickets Each

Over 20 villagers in Chachoengsao Province won lottery prizes after receiving blessings from Luang Pho Yai at Wat Huay Soop, with winners hitting the three-digit number 298 and two-digit number 08.

2d ago Khaosod

At 6 p.m. on May 16, 2025, a reporter visited Wat Huay Soop in Namatum Subdistrict, Panasnikorn District, Chachoengsao Province, where over 20 lucky winners gathered with flowers, incense, candles, and firecrackers to pay respects to Luang Pho Yai. The winners had struck it lucky with the two-digit ending number 08 (10 tickets each) and the three-digit front number 298 (10 tickets per set), each receiving tens of thousands of baht in winnings. They brought over 3,000 firecrackers as offerings of gratitude.

Ms. Toom, 58, one of the fortunate winners, revealed that she came to make merit at the temple and request blessings from Luang Pho Yai. She saw the numbers 298 and 45 written on the abbot's board. Initially planning to buy the two-digit ending number 298, she discovered only the three-digit front number was available, so she purchased 10 tickets of that instead. When the lottery drawing occurred, she was delighted to have won over 40,000 baht through Luang Pho Yai's blessing.

Many other villagers also won the two-digit ending number 08 with 10 tickets each. Luang Pho Yai is known for regularly providing blessings to villagers regarding employment opportunities and land sales, with many having achieved their wishes. Following the ceremonial firecracker lighting, the numbers 32, 164, and 114, 34 were drawn as lucky numbers that villagers plan to play in the June 1, 2025 lottery drawing.

Celtic Thrash Hearts at Home in Final Match to Clinch Scottish League Title

Celtic clinched their 56th Scottish Premier League title with a dramatic 3-1 comeback victory over Hearts in the final match of the season, breaking Rangers' previous record of 55 championships.

2d ago Khaosod

Celtic accelerated past Hearts of Midlothian in the final match of the season to capture their 56th Scottish Premier League title, surpassing Rangers' previous record of 55 championships. Heading into the match, Hearts of Midlothian led with 80 points, just one point ahead of Celtic. A draw would have made Hearts the first team in 41 years to win the league title outside of Rangers and Celtic, who have long shared supremacy.

In the final match, Hearts took an early lead through Lawrence Shankland's goal in the 43rd minute, bringing the prospect of making history closer by the minute. However, Celtic fought back decisively, scoring three consecutive goals from Arne Engels' penalty in the 45+4th minute, Daizen Maeda in the 87th minute, and Callum Osmond in the 90+8th minute.

By match's end, Celtic increased their points to 82 and claimed their 14th league title in the last 15 seasons, with only Rangers winning the championship in between during 2021. Hearts remained at 80 points, falling just short of capturing the crown. The last team outside these two powerhouses to win the championship dates back to the 1984-85 season when Aberdeen claimed the title during Sir Alex Ferguson's era.
