So proud of my son - he’s recently taken a knock in confidence with football; so we sat down and reviewed @veotechnologies clips together and played back some of his best goals and clips. It is really tough to see your child struggle but I know it’ll make him stronger ⚽️❤️

Leadership. All good leaders get tested and the human cost can be significant. Whether the wounds are physical; mental or other, being a Leader for me has always come at a cost. How we manage that is one of life’s great challenges. Be kind & most importantly be kind to yourself

Tricky time for #wafc - I don’t think many are expecting miracles post takeover. But me and my son are really struggling to get up for the games. I hope they turn it around; football is a simple game, throw caution to the wind? Maybe play a striker or two up front at home?.
FT Latics 0 Wycombe 1. As bad as the first half was, the second half was good. Could, absolutely should, have produced an equaliser. But Latics continue to struggle in front of goal and it's proving so costly. #wafc

Very interesting press conference from Eddie Howe at #nufc. Touches on subjects like utilisation of a Sporting Director & Club Finances. Press Conferences with Managers have changed so much in modern times. Everything is under the spotlight these days. Game has changed so much.

Don’t come on here often or post #wafc related things. But have to say I thought @JJordanjones11 was absolute levels out there today. To come in last minute and show that quality was class. Top, top wing play, beat his man every time on the inside and outside. Joy to watch.

Spot on.
“What you really want is for the non-league sides to have their moment in the sun!” 🙏. “I’m not interested in #AFC v #LFC in the cup. Maidstone have played 5 games to get here!”. @JeffStelling explains why the #FACup 3rd round draw should be seeded, and how. 👀

Some broadcaster @JeffStelling is. His passion and knowledge is unrivalled. Great coup by TalkSport. For many who casually listen to @TSBreakfast this will top the scales. Brilliant addition & great to see him back doing what he loves.
“It’s like the first day at school!” 👋. “I’m following in some big footsteps. ” 💛. @JeffStelling kicked off his first @TSBreakfast show in impeccable style, at 6am this morning.

Beautifully observed minutes silence by my sons grassroots football team today. Some great goals. Of course; Eccles was on the scoresheet. As an ex-serviceman it’s special to see my son and his team mates understand the significance and importance of #RemembanceDay ❤️⚽️
