Piers is actually right here though, someone came in the pub the other day and said she’d been watching her son play rugby that morning. I said oh did he win, she said they don’t even keep score. I mean what? 🤣🤣

Can’t see Man United? 👀
Not being an arse but Hull and Ipswich are coming straight back down. And if Coventry don't do a Sunderland so are they.

Scrap the points system, scrap a ballot as well… Just put 3000 tickets in the centre circle of the MKM 1 person per ticket and you’re only allowed to choose 1 weapon. A carrot, cucumber or a banana. Easy. Job done 👍

A statement on yesterday….. Everything I said in that interview was true. However, rest assured I’m doing my best to turn things round. I have been in a mental health clinic for the last 10 weeks, finally discharging so I could attempt to play in Belfast I owed that to my family, in particular my daughter to see me play for what could be the last time….. I also owed it to the fans who have supported me throughout my 21 years on tour I also owed that to World Snooker who have been amazing from day on in all this, in particular Simon Brownell and Neil Tomkins who have remained in touch regularly, even Simon paying me a visit in the clinic itself I’m not ok, but I’m ok in that itself. I’ve been much worse in the last few months than you saw yesterday. I literally didn’t see a future in anything….. My daughter kept me going, the therapists, staff and all the other patients were amazing and helped me through some really dark days I see the light now that I couldn’t see before but I do now. I also know it won’t happen overnight. I’m a work in progress!!! My fight and determination on the table has always been there for ones to see. I need to show those same fighting qualities off it now for a while Please don’t detract anything from Jordan yesterday, he’s been aware of my struggles and that can’t have been easy to play in but he handled it with grace and skill as I knew he would. Im proud to call him a friend I hope the rest of the event is a success and I will continue my treatments going forward and then see what’s ahead Thank you to every single message I have received on here, instagram, Facebook, text messages and WhatsApp’s, I’ve seen them all but a bit overwhelmed to reply right now. Just know that they have helped me a lot but I’m not going anywhere just yet!!!! I have so much to live for and this is only the beginning of my new journey Also, I was not made to do any interviews, I was simply given a choice and felt I owed it to everyone to speak. The media team at WST have been incredible through all this too Thank you all x

Of all the shite performances I’ve seen in my life, that one’s right up there. Absolutely stunk the place out. Disaster. Massive 2 games at home now. We go again 🖤🧡

Newcastle Weekender complete, not the result we wanted but what a place, Newcastle have some fanbase. Outnumbered in the boozers pre match but all so welcoming and chatty. Newcastle shirts all over the place last night. Great night out 🍻 #hcafc 🖤🧡

Mega that, any normal City Fan knows it’s still going to be an almighty tough season. 2008 taught us that. But fuck it, enjoy every second! Still waiting for “this is the best trip” to get belted out though. #hcafc

Acun Ilıcalı’nın kamera önü rahatlığı müthiş sempati yaratıyor İngiliz medyasında. Her kulüp sahibini böyle yayınlara almazlar ve böyle sıcak karşılamazlar. “Egzantrik yabancı sahip” etiketiyle değil kendi haliyle sunulması da az iş değil. Çok popüler bi isim olmaya doğru gidiyor

Just laid in bed trying to work out if that’s in my top 5 greatest games ever! It’s up there, unbelievable away day, great atmosphere on the 🚂, even better in the pub pre match and definitely one of the best away ends I’ve ever been in. All timer away day. Enjoy the ride 😎
