❤️ My beautiful boy deserves to be remembered with love, not hate. Yesterday, a Coventry fan used a photograph of Bradley to taunt Sunderland supporters. As his mam, this breaks my heart. Behind that photo is a little boy who was loved beyond measure (pt 1)

There’s something magnificent about the pictures of Johan Cruyff with Beeston Hill in the background (I think it’s actually still Windmill Hill at that point. Beggars Hill behind McDonald’s or the Quary, then Beeston Hill round towards Tempest Road).

I always remember Sir Alex Ferguson saying how Ravel Morrison was the most naturally talented player he ever worked with at Man Utd… Yet his career was an abject failure because of his bad attitude and laziness. Kane is in no way the most naturally talented striker England has ever produced. But he is our greatest thanks almost entirely to his impeccable work ethic and mental fortitude. What a role model.
Work hard in silence. Let success be your noise. 🏆

On Arsene Wenger’s birthday, a reminder of his epic battles with his arch-nemesis. We’re not talking about Sir Alex. We’re not talking about Jose. We’re talking about that bastard zip on his big winter coat...
