Those assists from Pascal Gross and Georginio Rutter by the way. Ooft! 🤌🏼 #bhafc

What a sensational performance with ten men. We never looked like conceding in over half-an-hour after going down to ten men. The red card was soft but we’d have been calling for it at the other end of the pitch. A different kind of win to the Arsenal game, but very impressive nonetheless. 🔵⚪️ #bhafc

What an honour to go on the Chris Evans Breakfast Show today. As a kid watching The Big Breakfast, I never thought that one day Chris would be interviewing me about my book! What a dream! You can hear the rest on Virgin Radio’s app & buy the book here: www.amazon.co.uk/Long-Way-Tog... #bhafc

📖 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

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

Robert Townsend @bobbysix.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

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!

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.

I think it will be available as an ebook when it’s published, yes. No plans at this stage for paperback, but maybe that will change if the hardback does well 🤞🏻 🔵⚪️
