I don't like to ask the community for things but I really need Amazon reviews. My target is 100 by 1st Nov. Who wants to help? Every reader who posts a review of the book will get a shoutout in the next book!

Overheard on the Marylebone-Wembley Stadium train
Fan 1: “2 pints before, 4 pints at the game, 2 pints after. Probably leave the stadium at 9.30”
Fan 2: “9.30? But I thought an NFL game was an hour?”
Fan 1: “Um…”

FAO Rugby fans who don't follow the NFL. Please understand that the Louis Rees-Zammit 'deal' with the Chiefs is basically an extended trial. It's great news, don't get me wrong (I'm excited!) but the Chiefs will have 90 players soon and will cut that to 53. They all have 'deals'
There is no Premier League team where the players care more about the shirt than at Cardiff City. And no club’s board is more in touch with the fans. An absolutely remarkable turnaround considering where CCFC was a few years back

40 years ago today history was made when
@Channel4
broadcast the UK's first ever NFL highlights show. The sporting landscape would never be the same again. Thank you, C4!

I hadn't heard of her so I wanted to know more. I can't imagine my first thought being "I've not heard of her so why is she in my newspaper?" Weird
Ken Choo and Mehmet Dalman have been an absolute credit to
@CardiffCityFC
during all this. I simply don't know how they get on with their lives and their jobs now
Considering Cardiff City were meant to be the worst Premier League team ever I think they did rather well. Who knows how it might have gone if certain things hadn’t happened. They’ll start next season with a much stronger squad than the one that got promoted a year ago
Does anyone think Devante Adams would’ve pushed:
Roger Goodell
The ref
Uniformed police officer
If the answer is ‘no’ then the push wasn’t a ‘a reflex’. It was Adams taking out his frustration on someone he thought was less powerful than him
The thing to realise about all this ‘Welsh rugby passion’ and ‘hatred of England’ is that the vast majority of the Welsh fans frothing at the mouth on Saturday will be wearing English club football shirts the following weekend and don’t attend local rugby
If LRZ makes the Chiefs 53 and kids in the UK are watching him on TV you have to assume youth rugby participation is going to take a hit. Got the skills for rugby? Why not take up American football where there’s a clear path, more money and less off-field chaos. Bad day for rugby
Welsh lad ripping down the plastic in a supermarket. We need more heroes like this, instead of the idiots in the senedd making ridiculous country destroying rules.
Jubilee school picnic today. My daughter decided to wear a Wales football shirt and is carrying a St David’s flag. Pretty militant for a girl who was born in England, has only ever lived in England and has an English mother

An EFL Spokesperson said: “Following the abandonment of this afternoon’s Sky Bet Championship fixture between Rotherham United and Cardiff City, the circumstances surrounding this will now be considered in-line with EFL Regulations.”
You literally heard it from me first but here’s the actual deal.
Hats off to
@SkySports
and
@ESPNUK
.
And to the fan community in the UK and Ireland for showing there was plenty of demand

Welsh children were beaten by teachers for the crime of speaking Welsh for many years. I appreciate you we’re probably unaware of this but some of us have a little bit more knowledge of the situation. It’s not really about being offended or not
Tell me one thing you miss about the
#NFL
…
For me it's Super Bowls at the
@RoseBowlStadium
. It's all about the beautiful natural light. The game would kick off in sunny conditions and you'd get a sunset in the 2nd half. Just wonderful. Five were held there in a span of 16 years
First thing I noticed about the covers of these official World Cup books: they’ve been designed so that every Nike Swoosh is obscured while every Adidas logo is on display. You can guess which of the brands is a World Cup sponsor
@UniWatch
@darrenrovell
Thrilled to see/hear
@greggrosenthal
and the amazing
@AroundTheNFL
crew talking about The American Football Revolution. The team always show so much love to the UK fan community. If you don't already subscribe get on it - unmissable podcast
No matter who you support, if you’re getting really upset or angry about who your club has or hasn’t signed/sold take a minute to remember that the subject of one of the biggest transfers of the window is still missing. Have a bit of perspective
I know a bit more about the deal now but I think Sky has earned the right to shout about it themselves tomorrow.
The deal took a while to come together but it’s match made in heaven between
@ESPNUK
and
@SkySports
.
I will no longer be directing people to games on YouTube obvs!
I like how they didn't mention the fact that his dad already had £42m and set him up. Anything is possible if you work hard... and have a parent with tens of millions in the bank. Truly inspirational 🙏
And assuming this is a deal via ESPN it’s worth sending thanks to the fine folks at
@ESPNUK
. The closure of ESPN Player and the lack of games on TNT wasn’t their doing and they wanted to get CFB back for fans in the UK and Ireland. Shoutout to
@tomkingham
and his colleagues ❤️
If you’re an NFL fan who is really missing the Premier League/EFL/SPFL etc today may I suggest college football? I guarantee you’ll love it. Games on
@espnplayer

@btsport

today. Any questions just ask
@JBaileyNFL
Brees was the key element in turning around a franchise that had never even sniffed success. Rodgers is much more talented than Brees and has had more talent around him
Some final thoughts from yesterday at
@wembleystadium
1. The
#NFLUK
community is fantastic. They showed the best of themselves on Sunday. It doesn’t go unnoticed
2.
@Jaguars
+ Wembley has become a tradition that I don’t want to go away. That franchise does so much
Aaron Ramsey has informed Cardiff of his desire to return to his boyhood club, with a medical booked in for today.

#CardiffCity
Ralph Hasenhüttl: "We have two weeks now with no game, so for two weeks now we have this result in our mind and it’s the most horrible situation you can imagine. It’s a disaster."
I dunno, Ralph, I think Cardiff City's situation has been a bit more horrible. An actual disaster
I was one of those dads who does a pitch invasion with their small child on their shoulders today. Thank you,
@CardiffCityFC
for giving this little girl such a memorable first game
🤯 Incredibly, Gareth Bale is the bookies favourite to return to his hometown club Cardiff City...
Aside from the wages, would Gareth Bale play Championship football? 🧐
My hope for an Easter miracle is that I don’t have people trying to explain to me how the NFL works like I had yesterday. A glance at my bio would suggest I am reasonably familiar with it
📣Announcement 📣
The wheels are in motion for a potential new book! 🎉
I can’t give any details yet but if sales of The American Football Revolution go well enough you could be seeing yet another NFL book by a UK author. There aren’t many around so I appreciate the support!
It’s mad to me there’s a Cardiff kid (yeah, Penarth is Cardiff and we all know it) with a shot of playing NFL regular season football in 2024. Thrilling news
Every time BBC Wales puts up a story about Cardiff City almost every comment is from a supporter of one particular club. And it's not Cardiff City. Such odd behaviour
Half time of every World Cup match on BBC: Let’s talk about England’s next match
Half time of semi final on BBC now England are out: Let’s catch up with the England team
Classic
Brilliant. This morning I joked that a Korean team was called the Fisters and somehow it was considered so believable that it is being reported as actual news
Prime Minister Boris Johnson accuses Labour's Keir Starmer of wanting to "cancel Christmas" and adds that there is "unanimous agreement" across the devolved nations that "we should proceed in principle with the existing" festive plans.

Oh wow,
@JaguarsUKandIE

@Jaguars
! I’ve been credentialed for every single NFL game in London up to this point and now - after I write a book about the growth of the NFL in the UK - you don’t want me to cover the games any more?! Really?!
As usual I’ll aim to ensure everyone in the UK and Ireland who wants to watch college football is given that opportunity today. A couple of good games at 5pm but my word the 8.30pm slot looks incredible. Put notifications on for my tweets and you hopefully won’t miss a thing
Things to note:
1️⃣The Chiefs clearly rate him and don’t want other teams near him
2️⃣Players can still get cut or released after signing multi year contracts in the NFL. Happens every offseason
3️⃣I think we’ll see a lot of him in preseason but could still be practice squad
Welsh rugby star Louis Rees-Zammit will be in Kansas City today to sign his three-year contract with the
#Chiefs
, one that includes some guaranteed money and a signing bonus.

So 25 years ago today my mum died. My wife just bumped into DJ Premier – easily my favourite person in the world of music – and he wrote this. My mind is blown and the world is crazy
At no point have Cardiff City said they won't pay Nantes the money that is owed. However they made clear they wanted an investigation. This should have all been kept private. Some of the comments on here are unsurprisingly embarrassing
Wrexham basically have the most expensive season tickets in Welsh football. They are a non-league side! Cardiff City fans will pay less to watch Gareth Bale play for them next season. Dread to think what Wrexham’s prices would be like if they had got promoted
We are pleased to confirm our ticket, season-ticket and membership pricing and packages for the 2022/23 season - all of which go on sale on Tuesday June 7.
