I’m so offended some people suggested the Lookman penalty was worse than mine for Chelsea v Man City! Unacceptable slander. His reached the keeper. Surely I can keep the worst ever crown. Pleeeeeease.

I’ve just received video of vile sectarian comments aimed at the fabulous John McGinn at Stamford Bridge. Heading there now for tomorrow’s game and will talk to the club. You get vile abuse from many fans of many clubs, but this is NO excuse! I hope and expect investigations!

Above all else he was a lovely, honest and kind soul. And a true friend whose company you always loved being in. My thoughts are with his just as lively family.

Such kind sentiments re my CFC departure. Thank you all. So kind of everyone, but honestly don’t stress-others losing their jobs and now in dire financials circs are more worthy of consideration. I’m happy, busy, (promoting my recent book for Xmas and BBC work) Also RIP Shane M

I’m wary of tiptoeing into a debate that has oddly gone a bit toxic. For those who didn’t hear on the BBC 5 Live comms, I described Jorginho’s pen as the 2nd worst I’ve seen at SB! Can I please hold on to the worst crown! Love Jorginho for joining the gang though. Great player!

What a wonderful beautiful human being Pele was, it was an incredible honour to spend an evening talking to him. To be so honestly modest while being among the greatest, if not the greatest player ever, was and always will be inspiring. The world will miss you Edson.

Great response from most football lovers and hundreds of Cfc fans backing my words today. Thank you. Most Cfc fans have always backed these calls against bigotry and hatred for the 30 years I’ve been saying it. Wish all fans were the same, some still remain hateful, sadly.
