I've written one or two (or 500) words on the divisive 'National League Cup' for @talkSPORT and how I'm pleased to see @EastleighFC turn their back on the competition. It's an ill-thought-out attempt to make up for FA Cup replays being binned... (1/2)

@FBAwayDays A real kick in the teeth to lower and non league clubs, many of which have been built on the strength of giant killings and replays. I'm sure this will happily suit the elite but for many (including me) it's a sad day and another dent in what was once a magical trophy. #FACup

Took my five year old to his first @wokingfc game today. To say the experience was pure magic would be quite the understatement. Sure, we lost 3-0 to an already relegated side (😬) but for him it was mesmerising and it was AMAZING to introduce him to Kingfield. #COYCards ❤️🤍

HUGE point to cap a MASSIVE week for the mighty Cards. Pretty sure I can hear the dulcet angelic beckoning of League Two drifting in over the Surrey Hills. #COYC ❤️🤍

Another terrible bit of news from the world of football this weekend. Life indeed is indeterminably cruel. A club man who did so much for the mighty Cardinals. His presence -particularly his voice- will be sorely missed. Thoughts with those close to Andy. Forever a Card ❤️🤍

Some really curious traffic on here today. If I’m really coming under fire for reporting a story based on a verified source, and with the green light/initiative coming from above me, then dare I suggest football journalism in general has a big problem with its methodology.

As lovely as it is to see Kingfield in all its rustic glory, it terrifies me to think how long it’ll be empty for. Bankrolling football long term isn’t going to work. Fans quite simply need to be let back in and fast. 1.5k-2k inside a 6k capacity stadium is not a tall order.

Small football clubs are feeling the toll of the pandemic. Without crowds coming in, cash isn't coming in either. @wokingfc manager Alan Dowson told #5News if the government doesn't do more to help, he believes more than two-thirds of football clubs will fail within the year.

Over the moon for Michael Doyle. Inherited a pitiful situation at @wokingfc and has made huge strides in the last 9 months or so. A long way to go but a really encouraging start to the season. (LOVELY to get one over Darren Sarll as well) COYC❤️🤍

Me telling the @talkSPORT production floor this afternoon about why #Euro96 was so good and why Terry Venables was such a bona fide LEGEND. Another of life's great lights has gone out. What an incredible legacy he leaves behind.

0.8%. Most people I spoke to were expecting anywhere between 5-15% positive results so this is an absolute peach of a result for the Premier League (I guessed 70). It goes without saying we should wish ‘the six’ a speedy recovery -and it’s early days- but this is great news.
