I went to the @Arsenal event last night, about the new stadium art. It was brilliant. It was really good to see the old players and some old teammates. All my drinks were soft drinks. I've been sober for over two years now and I'm feeling good.

Tierney being injured is bad for Arsenal. They'll have to do something about it, they can't be poor again. I don't know about Xhaka or Saka at left-back. I'd keep Tavares in and help him to get some confidence to play well. We need Saka to attack really, that's his best position.

I want all @CPFC fans to retweet & change their profile pictures. Following everyone that does! COME ON PALACE!

Sorry that everyone who has supported me had to see those stories in the paper, I didn't want to let any of you down. I will bounce back.

Hello everyone, I'm looking forward to the new season. Palace v Arsenal is a massive match. I'm going and I think it'll be a close game. It's hard to know who will win. It would be nice for the fans to see some goals and if it was a draw. 3-3, that would do me!

Glad all over, regardless of the result. The boys @CPFC boys played excellently out there today! Loved Pardew's celebration too.

If people are negative towards you online, they're probably hateful of themselves or jealous. Pity them, block them & move on. #BlockTrolls

What a terrible blow for football and nice people everywhere that my pal Ray Wilkins has passed away. One of the nicest people I’ve ever met.
