Brilliant to have @dannykellywords.bsky.social jump on the @tfnufc.bsky.social opposition preview.

Spurs are not in a good place and as an NUFC fan that worries me!

'I love watching Newcastle now,' says former Toffee and Magpie Dan Gosling - Newcastle United
Even when full to the brim, the team bus can be a lonely spot, and at times, sat near the back on United's coach, Dan Gosling wanted his seat to swallow him whole. After an injury-ruined first season ...

I’ve spent a lot of time (too much, in fact) wondering about the life and mentality of a 3rd choice keeper.

So I went to Manchester United and spent the day with Tom Heaton to find out 👇

‘Zero regrets’: Tom Heaton on life at Manchester United after 1,029 days without a game
The former England keeper discusses his sometimes borderline deluded outlook and being proud to defend the values of the club he loves

Tom Heaton interview:

'My outlook can sometimes be bordering on deluded. I understand the optics of it … The logical side of my brain knew that coming back here at 35 was probably more to fill this role. But I have zero regrets. I’ve loved being here.'

🔵 Chelsea win 3-0 over Barcelona, with Estêvão scoring a super goal.

🔴 Manchester City lose at home to Leverkusen.

It was ok. Just. But it very nearly wasn’t & once it spills over there is little chance of regaining control.

French police being over zealous? Surely not!

We mustn’t accept it just because it’s football.

I was treated like an animal by police in Marseille – abuse of English fans in Europe must stop

⚽️ Was visiting family in Sweden recently & popped into BP Bromma - a tiny club in west Stockholm having a huge impact on the PL.

No where more so than north London - Kulusevski, Gyokeres & Bergvall all came through the academy...
