Arsenal vs Chelsea.

I've always liked Dwight McNeil. I did a report on him for NUFC but it never went anywhere. Amazed to see Everton could sell him for £20m. I'd take him tomorrow, although that'd be too late😉😊

Excellent propect. Natural ability. I will follow his progress with interest. #Dapo #Bromley #Wolves www.wolves.co.uk/news/academy...

I think he'll have to go abroad. I cant see anyone in the UK paying him anywhere near what he thinks hes worth.

I've just heard that a Head of recruitment has been diagnosed with a brain tumour and only has 2 months to live. Devastating news. When my son had been made redundant he gave him a part-time job to keep him ticking over until he could get a full-time job. A proper gent.

Great result for #NUFC last night, curtesy of the PSV defence and a brilliant goal by Harvey Barnes. Did I mention I scouted him and Kiernan Drewsbury-Hall playing U16's for Leicester playing against Reading BITD. Both great lads. Always good to see players reach their potential.

I smell Trump talking off the cuff.

"Middle powers must act together because if you are not at the table, you are on the menu." #Class.

The World is about to cave in because of dopey Donald and these are the 'most read' stories on the BBC website. 'Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow'

Wow. America has got to get rid of that lunatic. If that's how he talks to his allies, the USA will be in the kitchen at parties. #BillyNoMates

It was nice while it lasted. Club is in free fall. Watch.

This. #NeverForget

I went to see the production of Back to the Future in London. It was brilliant. I might do it again.

"And then he claimed expenses to heat his stables so the horses didn't get cold"

I remember Arthur playing at Hale End for Arsenals U12s. This has to be a highlight of his young career. #TopLad.

Imagine being a football fan wanting to visit America to watch the World Cup. #Pass

As I said in a previous message, Steve Nickson asks his scouts for reports on players at clubs in danger of relegation. This is a 'Two for One' opportunity. I do wonder who he was watching. I'd love it to be Bowen, but having watched the highlights, Mateus Mané put himself at the top of the list IMO

Interesting news regarding Eddie Howe to Chelsea. I know people at both clubs. Chelsea owners are learning on the job, they have so many issues in and around the club and Eddie Howe could be the solution. That's the reason Eddie Howe will not be manager of Chelsea.

Again Birmingham lose while Wrexham win. I think the competition between both sets of American owners could cost Birmingham manager Chris Davies his job.

I love this stuff....don't tell anyone.

By the way....Lucas Paquetá giving away that penalty.....are you thinking what I'm thinking. A ridiculous foul.

New Year, new me.😄😄😄 Happy New Year to everyone. I'm off to the gym believe it or not. I think it's just so I can say it when anyone asks what I did New Years Day.🏃🏼‍♂️🚴🏼‍♀️

Lucas Paquetá is another player that would be on the list. I'm not sure if Nicko is a fan.

This is the time of year when Steve Nickson would ask for reports on players at clubs in danger of relegation. This season my pick would be Jarrod Bowen at West Ham. I scouted him for NUFC BITD when he was at Hull City. No other 1st Team scout agreed with me so it was never escalated.

Had a great Christmas Went to pick up the brother-in-law from London, on the way back a pheasant decided to jump into my wing mirror and smash itself and my wing mirror to pieces. Zappi home charger refused to charge the car so I spent an hour charging it at my local Shell station. I blame Jesus.

Seems Man United have overspent a bit. www.instagram.com/reel/DSpv8Jv...

Delighted to see Ephron Mason Clarke doing so well for Coventry. I scouted him at U13s at Barnet and again for the Barnet 1st Team in the National League. He was always the smallest player on the pitch but his talent and determination have got him to the edge of the Premier League.

Happy 100th birthday to Dick Van Dyke!

Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney paid approximately £2 million to buy Wrexham AFC. Apparently they've just secured additional funding from an investment group that has earmarked over $5billion for the Sporting sector of the group. They dont know do they...😁😁

He goes on a bit, but he makes the point. 'Time to say goodbye' to £20million. Slot cannot lose this argument.

Judd Trump just managed to play a fantastic snooker. He then played 2 of the worst shots he will ever play. #Snooker 2-6

Oh dear oh dear. He's now shouting the odds about being thrown under the bus by the manager. Those two contract decisions were always going to end in tears. #Salah #VanDijk

This is so bad. Rio doing stand up. I'm going to dinner. #WorldCupBore

As a scout/recruiter I love these stories. I know that some top top players still look after the scouts that started their football journey. Its only right.

It's a well known ailment contracted by Premier League players at the top of their game. Billy Big Boots Syndrome. You're only as good as your last game.

This is from the BBC website after Liverpool drew 11 vs Sunderland. 'Van Dijk, 34, and Salah, 33, both signed lucrative new two-year deals in the summer, with not one Liverpool eyebrow raised at the notion of handing contracts to a veteran duo much closer to the end of their careers than the start.'

Good to see a snooker tables with the correct size pockets being used for a televised event.

Both players released at 14. You don't hear from the people that made those decisions. Recruiters are like gamblers - they only remember the winning horses.

Always makes me chuckle when the BBC website gives examples of the impact the budget will have on 'ordinary' working people. "I'm on £150,000 a year and I'm concerned about tax on EV's...... Give me strength.

Did he.??

I think the Liverpool FC Ferrari needs attention. LFC 0-2 Forest

Delighted to read this statement. It wasn't just me that thought Sheffield Wednesday would be a fantastic investment opportunity. The fans have shown how much they love their club. Note to new owners: Don't take the piss. A sleeping giant.

Amazing design by Fred Dibnah. TBH, the people behind this have gone all in. I hope it all pans out for them.

This could result in millions of football fans being arrested throughout the season.

It was a ridiculous decision. I'm not a Van Dijk or Liverpool fan, but the keeper was not impeded at all. These idiots at Stokley Park need shipping out. I'm really enjoying watching the EFL Championship. No VAR.

Amazing to think you could buy Sheffield Wednesday, a club with a massive fan base and history or buy a 'slot' in a league but have no stadium, fanbase or history. I don't get it.

I've just watched the highlights of the Brentford v Newcastle United match. All 3 Brentford goals were defensive errors IMO. That's a lot. Sven Botman looked surprised to see a Brentford forward run past him for the 3rd goal. Shocker.

$3.7Billion for a stadium. Is it made from gold leaf.

An amazing result for any team. But for one of the promoted clubs - dreamland. I expect Monday at the training ground ground will be a blast.
