📖 It has always been a dream of mine to see a book I’ve written sitting on the shelf of a book shop. My debut book, Long Way Together is out now, so I headed to the shops… #bhafc #LongWayTogether

No matter how many times it’s explained to me, I still haven’t got a clue how the Nations League works or the point of it is 🤷🏻‍♂️ #engspa #england #eng #nationsleague

Has this been the best ever week for #bhafc? A 5-0 away win followed by an astonishing comeback cup victory at Old Trafford, and then a thrashing of current champions Arsenal at a buzzing Amex. I love this team! Their work-rate and desire is incredible💪🏻

Two more things to mention. Gomez gets a bit of stick from some fans but his brilliant dummy and then pass led to the second goal. Also, what a professional Jason Steele is. That save from Rashford! Wow. #bhafc

Superb performance from #bhafc. Even at 2-0 down, we didn’t panic, didn’t compromise our approach, and we were comfortably the better team throughout. Pascal Gross player of the match by an absolute mile. He was sensational.

Well that was unexpected! Have we ever gone 4-0 up in a league game within 31 mins before? I can’t recall it happening in the 40-odd years I’ve been watching. 🤷🏻‍♂️ #bhafc

While the front cover has pictures of five of the best footballers to ever play for #bhafc, the back of the book has two pictures of a decidedly average footballer… me!

Disappointed we didn’t win and at the same time relieved because we could’ve lost 2-0. Yep, football is well and truly back. #bhafc

Kylie joined Nick Cave onstage in Preston Park at the weekend. This is the second time I’ve been lucky enough to see them perform together. Both times it’s made me cry. #kylieminogue #nickcave

Really sad news about Kevin Keegan. I had my photo taken with him on the pitch before #bhafc played #nufc in a relegation six-pointer in 1992. Albion won 1-0 that day but were ultimately relegated, while Newcastle stayed up.

This would be brilliantly petty. I think that every team should appeal every yellow and red card for the rest of this tournament. #fifa #worldcup

So many ex-bhafc players at the World Cup. You can actually put together a decent team, albeit with two left backs: Ryan Cucurella Van Hecke Burn Estupinan Caicedo Mac Allister Trossard Adingra Undav Gyokeres Subs: Ostigard Locardia Jahanbakhsh Have I forgotten anyone? #bhafc

My first time watching #bhafc at Wembley in 91 vs my most recent visit at the weekend. Different decades, same outcome 😢. You can read all about my journey with the Albion in my debut book.

Not the result we wanted, but a performance and cup run to be proud of. Brilliant support from the Albion fans at Wembley too. 👏🏻 🔵⚪️ #bhafc

We didn’t do it in style today and it was a nervy wait for the Brentford game to end but the league table doesn’t lie and we deserve to be in Europe! I’m really excited about the Conference League as it’s a decent chance to win a trophy. Or, to put it more simply… Europe again, ole ole! 🇪🇺 #bhafc

It’s going to be one of those “as it stands…” afternoons isn’t it? But I’m still bracing myself for the Sky pundits and commentator caring far more about whether a Man Utd player gets an assist than about our European hopes. #bhafc

The only good news after that injury-time disaster is that other results didn’t go too terribly for us today and that Sunderland and Chelsea play each other on the last day of the season, so they can’t both catch us. A wasted opportunity, yes, but it could’ve been much worse. #bhafc
