I watched 2 games yesterday.

followed by
@Arsenal
vs
@ManUtd
1 game was fast-paced, exciting, full of chances and great play. The other was sterile, boring and lacking any kind of intensity. I know which one I'd pay to watch again...Non-league > PL⚽️
Took my son to watch his first

game this afternoon. Now I have to explain to him that we don't usually score four goals and win the league every week! 🏆

Please do me a favour guys and don’t feed the narrative that this is COVID related. This issue existed pre-COVID and was inevitable from about 3 years ago. Don’t let Amar off the hook that easily...
6 months of being a dad to the strongest little warrior I know. Sleepless nights, countless hospital visits and scaring us to death on a daily basis is all worth it for one cheeky smile (or even a good frown)…

@thesilkmen
Does the chairman feel that perhaps ignoring JA’s calls for the last 10 days may have impacted his decision? Or maybe it was the fact he didn’t have the final say on the retained list? Good luck finding yourself a “yes man” Mr Blower.

Anna was such a genuine, lovely girl. Always a smile on her face, this is really awful. All my thoughts go to her family who have to somehow come to terms with this devastating news. 💔
It is with the heaviest of hearts and a sense of unparalleled surrealism that Macclesfield FC can confirm the tragic passing of

This is absolutely spot on. The faux outrage across Twitter and the football world right now is doing my head in. “We must not let this happen again” - heard it all before, this has been coming for months, if not years. Don’t bring me the sympathy now.

English Football has missed chance after chance to reform and no-one comes out of this very well.

This beggars belief on so many levels. The sheer audacity of Dale to argue back for playing God with these lads lives and careers. An absolute disgrace of a man.

Bury midfielder Stephen Dawson says he’ll lose everything due to unpaid wages.

We put Dale and Dawson on-air together to clear things up.

There's definitely been a significant rise in non-league football attendances this season. I don't think it's as simple to say it's because other games were called off. Many clubs are doing a great job of making themselves the hub of their communities once again 👏🏻⚽️👏🏻

Most underrated moment of this season by miles.. The magic man Danny Whitaker comes in from the wilderness to rescue a 93rd minute equaliser against Stevenage & keep the Yeovil momentum going. God bless that man. 🔵⚪️
Maybe Steve Hitchen (former MTFC RB, now Chief Scout at THFC) can have a word with Gareth Bale tomorrow on the 19th hole about lending
