Is the Pope a Liverpool fan? In answer to the second question, one of them definitely was!
My former team-mate Jerzy Dudek met with Pope John Paul II at the Vatican, and was told - genuinely - he was a massive Red, after falling in love with the city on his visit in 1981.
Regarding the biggest question in football at the moment - let's call it the Salah saga - well, watching the situation unfold over here in Saudi Arabia, it is PAINFULLY obvious that Al-Ittihad are not going to give up just yet.
There's still a week left in the Saudi transfer window, and I can tell you Salah WILL be ending up here.
Maybe not in this window, but some time soon, because of who he is, and just how many people here want it to happen so desperately.
There's no doubt he's by far the most famous footballer in this part of the world and, as I said last week, they want him to be the face of the Saudi Pro League.
Also as we've seen elsewhere, what the Saudis want they usually get.
The money Liverpool have already turned down is truly mind-boggling.
But, honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if that is DOUBLED before the end of this week.
Think about what a coup it would be for the Pro League to have him as their ambassador.
