CLASSY 👏🏻 I’m 4500 miles away, but it’s clear that Sunderland fans are some of the best in the land. So many reports of positive comments and congratulations from them. It’s classy. And it’s appreciated. 👍🏻⚽️ #bhafc #safc

SATURDAY, 09.00 & ONE OF THOSE FANTASTIC RANDOM EXPERIENCES Early morning stroll in Prague and I heard organ music and singing coming from a church. So I sneaked in onto the back row. Wow.

JOÃO PEDRO ⚽️ 1of2 Great at pens Just like Glenn But after the reported bust-up It was likely not “if” but “when”. I wish him well Soon to be Chelsea personnel On one particular match I’ll choose to dwell. We were playing away In Marseille Oh, that last min penalty Stayed in the pub all day!

A BIG ONE 🎙️ Off to Germany tomorrow one of my biggest jobs of the year. 🇩🇪 An international gala dinner & awards ceremony to host at Frankfurt’s Opera House. I was there in a pub when we secured European football 24 months ago. ⚽️ No such luck this year. 😬

NOTES FROM A SMALL CAFE Overhearing conversations this morning reminds me of something that could be of use to us all. Behind the scenes, and despite what they may post on social media, most people face challenges, struggles & lead far from perfect lives. Hey, it’s normal. 👍🏻

TOGETHER….⚽️ As society disintegrates before our eyes, our football club & fans have become one of the last sources of unity, humour & sanity on here. Win, lose or draw, let’s remember we’re bonded by the love of a very special club & it’s incredible journey. UTA! 💙

If you haven’t tried Air Baltic yet, I can highly recommend them. They fly from Gatwick and have free lightening fast Starlink WiFi which means I could stream this live as I landed earlier. ✈️

16.00 IN LATVIA. 🇱🇻 150 miles from the Russian border and, with 1 hour until kick-off, I’ve found a sports bar with the Premier League. 👍🏻 Not 100% sure they’ll show our game as, apparently, there are lots of locals who support Liverpool. Fingers crossed. UTA!! 💙⚽️

ALL IN ALL, A DECENT AFTERNOON 👍🏻 Win vs. lower opposition ✅ Goal difference sorted ✅ Fulham dropped points ✅ B’mouth dropped points ✅ Palace helped us ✅ Clean sheet ✅ Joao Pedro smiling ✅ Shortish trip home for superb away support. ✅ Did I hear you say ‘Europ…?’ 🙂🍺
