I have a radical solution to the problem. See the bloke in the middle with the whistle? Leave it to him and if he needs a bit of help he can ask his two pals with flags.
Iโm not sure everyone realises what an outstanding person and footballer
@HKane
is. We are genuinely lucky to have him in our midst. Class act on and off the pitch.
Josh Kroenke interview coming shortly to Sky platforms. Not selling to Daniel Ek, Super League rock bottom of strained relationship with fans, being more communicative, club strategy, why
@Arsenal
can compete for top trophies. Plus says he was a half decent winger in his day.
We are devastated to learn that our former striker Kevin Campbell has died after a short illness.
Kevin was adored by everyone at the club. All of us are thinking of his friends and family at this difficult time.
Rest in peace, Kevin โค๏ธ
@GNev2
seriously concerned as tomorrow we film an Overlap special where HE is the one answering the questions. Send me anything you want me to ask him!
Absolutely devastated . Canโt believe we wonโt see this โFellaโ again. A very special man in so many ways, infectious humour, impeccable manners and all round class. RIP Ray. Sincere condolences to Jackie, Ross and Jade.
At every club a select group of former players are regarded as legends. Above this group sit an extremely rare number of exalted individuals who are spoken of in even greater reverential tones . For many of the

Very sad news that John Motson has passed away. He went out of his way to help me when I was first starting out in the business. A kind man who was always good company. My condolences to Anne and Freddy. R.I.P. Motty.

Tiger King. OMG what a collection of hucksters, fraudsters, snake oil salesmen, manipulators and wrong โuns . All of them would swallow a nail and sh:t a corkscrew. A truly unedifying look at some of the flotsam and jetsam of the sewage of humanity.

had booked 2 whole carriages for their trip to โBoro. Welcomed anyone to use spare seats, chatted with them and took all their rubbish when they got off. A credit to their club.
Absolutely! Get all the clubs together and overrule it.

Sweden confirming that, even after FIFAโs latest decision, they will at this time not change their position on refusing to play against Russia.
Meaning Sweden are right now ready to miss out on a World Cup spot in order not to play against Russia
Carra I agree with you 100%. She wasnโt just โattackedโ injected and immediately passed out. Premeditated Beyond horrific to think what could have happened and what the motivation was. Yet still people focus on
@HarryMaguire93
because he is Utd captain.
If this was an LFC player youโd say the opposite! Iโm not interested who his club his, if his sister has been attacked, Harry & his brother have done what 99% of brothers would do.
Iโve been privileged to have had a 30-year career on touchlines around the world so I thought it might be time to share a few tales. How I got the job, launch of Sky, encounters with the biggest names in football/showbiz and more. Hope you enjoy.

So so sad to hear of Gerard Houllierโs passing away. As well as his footballing achievements he was a warm, generous and caring man. Privileged to have counted him as a friend, always tremendous company. My thoughts are with Isabelle and the family.
Gordon Banksโ coffin carried into Stoke Minster by 4 goalkeepers representing the teams he played for: Joe Hart (England) Joe Anyon (Chesterfield) Jack Butland (Stoke) & Kasper Schmeichel (Leicester)
My grandfather William Shreeves served closely alongside him on HMS Whelp. Said of Prince Phillip โNever flinched in battle and never asked anyone to do something he wouldnโt do himselfโ RIP.
RIP Prince Philip, 99.
A truly great Briton who dedicated his life to selfless public duty & was an absolute rock of devoted support to Her Majesty, The Queen, as the longest-serving royal consort to any British sovereign.
A very sad day for our country. Thank you, Sir.
For me Southgate made 100% right call tonight. It wasnโt about draw strategy it was players needing to play and be ready if called upon. Loss was subsequent result not target.
Several players and Gareth Southgate admitted that they let a golden opportunity slip through their hands but I say. any criticism far out weighed by progress made.
@England

@piersmorgan
I was asked a couple of seasons ago to interview
@sterling7
but told he was understandably wary/weary of the media. Lovely, smiley quiet lad who has been battered. The media does need to take a long hard look at itself.
Massively important this crap isnโt allowed to go unchallenged purely because it smells slightly less rancid than the steaming pile of shite that looks thankfully to have been flushed.
Easily forgotten in all this is that CL expansion passed yday includes those 2 places on historic results. It's totally wrong given 6th can leapfrog 5th but all too easily accepted when 15th can mean, well, anything/nothing...
Looking forward to the game with โฆ

Everybody has an opinion of Craig Bellamy. He of course shaped those opinions himself. During the course of an interview with myself and
@Carra23
he chose to open for the first time with his lifetime mental health struggles. Genuinely fascinating, revealing and brave thing to do.
"For the last three or four years I have been diagnosed with depression. Iโm a man of depression, I canโt get away from that."
As we mark the start of
#MentalHealthAwarenessWeek
, Craig Bellamy spoke to
@Carra23
and
@GeoffShreeves
about his battle with depression.
At Colney. Emery confirms his five captains are - in order - Xhaka, Aubameyang, Bellerin, Lacazette, Ozil.
- Says both Xhaka and the club's challenge is to "change the opinion" about him among his critics.
@IanWright0
I went from speechless to rage . I really hope mate you are comforted by seeing the public disgust at this vile piece of shits actions and the unconditional love from all sections of society sent to you. Xx
