@Boy2021Burner As a Banbury fan, that would be spot on if we don't pass them in the playoffs. 👍

🙏 From this little guy to the best Czech scorer in the Premier League Life has a way of delivering even the most surreal stories, and I am deeply honored to live mine. Huge thanks to everyone who helped me on the bumpy, yet exciting journey. Can't even describe how grateful I feel for what I've achieved. I am proud of my roots, and I’ll always give everything to make people in Czechia proud and happy. ☺️ To mark the occasion of breaking the Czech goalscoring record, I’m also excited to announce that my book will soon be available in English! Stay tuned, 𝐒𝐔𝐊 ❤️⚒️🤍

The press really done a job on me last year. At times it felt like they were trying to make me Britain’s most unpopular man, and sometimes when I read some of the comments I get on here now….i think they might just have done that 😂🙈 I hardly ever got any trolls…but recently…… bloody hell! 🙈 I wish I’d never spent thousands on PR firm last year who pushed into doing stories that didn’t feel right with me. I trusted the process, and I trusted people who said they knew best….. but looking back, they never helped me. They probably was adding fuel to the fire, I will never know. If I’m gonna be completely honest, the whole thing has knocked me. More than I admit. I’m gonna start talking about that, because I don’t think I dealt with it properly. I’ve made plenty of mistakes. I own that. But it felt like once the media and press got their claws into me, I couldn’t win. No matter what I did, it was twisted, exaggerated and most of it completely untrue. I’ve worked so hard for what I have in life, I never had a penny ten years ago. Fighting is all I know. But it’s knocked the wind out of me a bit. I try to carry on spreading my positivity for everyone. But today I’m having a down evening. I’m writing this because I just went to the shop to grab milk for the twins, and a bloke buying bread stopped me. He said, “Keep your chin up, son. People round here know you’re a good lad.” And that just finished me, because every time I get stopped by strangers … it’s always the first thing they mention about the press I’ve received. Them journalists are nasty bits of work for what they put me and my family through. I’m feeling a bit down this evening if I’m honest. But the one thing I do know is how strong me and my wife are. We’ve been tested, proper tested, but we’re still standing, still together, still fighting for our family. My wife is my rock and she means so much to me. A beautiful mother and loving wife a she keeps our little family unit going. Good night an god bless. I just felt like I needed to get that out there. Maybe it’s the reason I’m so passionate about the walks I’ve been doing, because I need them as much as anyone. Thanks for reading. Sending you all love. Bosh❤️

@iamtomskinner All great ideas Tom but we need to be realistic TC need to be smaller. Councils should designate a TC and any shop that is outside that TC should be fast tracked for residential to fill TC with people.

I have a plan to save Great Britain’s High Streets. We all know they ain’t what they used to be. I know the high streets. I’ve worked on them and traded on them since I was a kid. I hate walking down a high street and seeing shops boarded up and forgotten and no people walking about. I have a detailed plan, and it will work to save them! It will bring people back into town, increase footfall, and make shops busy again! They’ll be more customers and more jobs for local people. And when shops are busy the councils will benefit too. It ain’t complicated. It’s about backing local traders. Free parking at weekends. Put proper community events on. Open up empty shops instead of leaving them empty. And I don’t want to give away all the ideas I have on this tweet but it really will work. It won’t cost local councils anything other than my time and that’s it! And I don’t want paying or a wage, I’m completely FREE. I’m doing this because I love this country and local communities and I want it to get better for my kids and the next generation to grow up in. So if any councils want to talk to me and hear my ideas. I’m about and ready to come and see you, sit down share my ideas and help SAVE GREAT BRITAINS HIGH STREETS!! Bosh❤️🇬🇧

West Ham United’s record at signing “Strikers” is truly shocking. Since 2010 (Sullivan and Brady era) We have signed 56 Strikers, or players who have played as a Striker Between them they made 2211 Appearances Scoring 491 Goals However 197 of those goals were scored by players who were signed as Wingers! Bowen, Antonio, Arnautovic, and Yarmolenko 162 scored By just Bowen And Antonio (32%) 6 of these players never made a first team Appearance for West Ham 21 of them never even scored a single goal 9 of them scored two or less Meaning 30 out of the 56 scored two or less goals for West Ham (56%) 13 of those players did score 10 or more, however only 9 of those were actually signed as strikers. And only 3 of those players who were signed as strikers scored 20 or more. Andy Carroll (34), Carlton Cole (67) and Diafro Sakho. (24) So in summary out of the best 3 “strikers” we have signed in the past 15 years (Antonio, Bowen and Carlton Cole) Only one was signed as a striker and I would say at a push, 11 have been a success, and that is me being generous. Jarrod Bowen (79G in 255app) Michail Antonio (83G in 323app) Marko Artnautovic (22G in 65app) Yarmolenko (13G in 86app) Diafro Sakho (24G in 71app) Carlton Cole (67G in 293app) Andy Carroll (34G in 142app) ??? Andre Ayew (12G in 50app) Ricardo Vaz Te (19G in 61app) Piquionne (11G in 62app) Demba Ba (7G in 13app) Arguments could also be made for Valencia (10G in 68app) Javier Hernandez (17G in 63app) Haller (14g in 54app) Zarate (7G in 29app) Obinna (8G in 32app) How many would you say have been a success? And will we will ever be able to break this curse?

𝗪𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝗲𝗽𝗹𝘆 𝘀𝗮𝗱𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗳 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗲𝗿 𝗕𝗮𝗻𝗯𝘂𝗿𝘆 𝗨𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗹𝘄𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗗𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗱 𝗪𝗼𝗼𝗱𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱. David was a true Puritan, representing the club from August 1979 to September 1990. David made 452 appearances, placing him 10th on Banbury United’s all-time appearance list, and contributed 44 goals from midfield, a remarkable return that reflected both his quality and consistency. For many supporters, he was a favourite throughout the 1980s: a committed, wholehearted player whose loyalty to the club was unwavering. David’s impact on Banbury United will not be forgotten, and he will always hold a special place in our history. Our thoughts are with his family, friends, former teammates and all who knew him.

To say we’re proud of our lads doesn’t even scratch the surface. They chucked their hearts at it, put their bodies on the line and ran themselves into the ground. We’re all hurting today but the boss has put an unbelievable group of people together and that spirit and unity we’ve got will carry us a long way. I feel very fortunate to be a part of it. Thanks for all the support along the way - great backing and we are grateful for it. We’ll be ready to go on Saturday ❤️ UTP

I’ve had enough of all this bollex. I can’t do anything right now without someone critising me. Or Making me do something against my will. It’s bullshit. I wish I never done strictly, I never fitted the bill for that show let’s be honest. And It’s Caused me nothing but agg. Constant absuse. All I fuckin do is try to spread positivity online. I can’t walk anywhere without people knowing who I am. I’ve had a narrative spun against me so People always have an opinion on me now that they didn’t 3 months ago. I’ve heard so many lies said and told about me. It’s driving me mad. I’ve had a constant pile on of abuse over the last month like I’m a mass murderer. It’s bullshit. I went out to work in my van this morning and I’m either getting beeped at or people putting their thumb up at me. I’ve honestly had enough. Now people I’ve supported my whole life are starting to turn on me because they see what’s going on online. It ain’t real life. I think I need to take a break and consentrate on me and my family. Because I ain’t one to admit I’m struggling. But I am. I’m honestly tired of all this nonsense. Can no one see what’s happening to me, I don’t know why I’ve become this target. I’ve always been the one that’s been solid. But I’ve really really had enough now. Bosh❤️
