Lagos needs serious town planning. 90% of a big city shouldn't be headed in one direction every morning and the opposite every evening.

EUROPA LEAGUE was never the dream. Not because I didn’t want it. Because if I’m being honest, I never thought it was possible. What kid would? Especially when 12 years ago I was playing non league football in the Ryman Premier and Conference South, just trying to stay alive in the game. What kid dreams about Europe when, two weeks into the off season, his dad has to tell him he’s been released by Watford F.C. over the phone? I was heartbroken. My dad looked at me and said: “What are we doing tomorrow?” To which I replied with the words he’d drilled into me my whole life: “We’re training, Dad.” So we trained. Every single day. My dad emailed every EFL club asking for an opportunity. One club replied. One. That was all I needed. An opportunity. @WealdstoneFC and @wwfcofficial , I’ll always be indebted to you. Then came the move to @SunderlandAFC . A massive club. A massive opportunity. And I couldn’t wait to prove myself. But 45 minutes into my debut… hooked. “Rabbit caught in headlights. Waste of money. Get rid.” Then came the Championship. “He’s not good enough for this level.” Then the Premier League. “Let’s give him a debut and then get rid of him.” I understood the doubt. I’ve faced it my whole career. And truthfully, you doubt yourself too at times. But I’ve always tried to live by one mindset: Outwork your doubt. You don’t always need to see the full journey. You just need to take the next step. Then the next one. And then another. Even when social media tells you you’re not good enough. Even when the voice inside your own head whispers the same thing. Keep working. Keep learning. Keep showing up. Because sometimes the places you end up are bigger than anything your younger self could’ve ever imagined. To any young player reading this, don’t put a ceiling on yourself too early. You genuinely have no idea where this game and life can take you. And to the boys… thank you. You removed the glass ceiling I’d placed on myself. What a team. What a club. What a fanbase. Sunderland… rocking all over Europe ❤️🤍 And in the words of Granit Xhaka: “This is just the beginning.”

There is something unLiverpool about Liverpool at the moment. If Klopp was manager he'd have been on the microphone with Robertson and Salah also saying their bit. Instead we got Slot slumped in a chair and LFC afraid to give Salah a microphone in case he said something. And where were John Henry and rest of FSG to show their gratitude to Robertson and Salah who helped make them 100s of millions by adding massive value to the club. Also where was the football guru Michael Edwards, he is getting paid massive amounts of money by LFC and has been missing all season. This is not how Liverpool are meant to be run. UnLiverpool like 👍

This is the reason why Italy is not progressing as a footballing nation. How could you possibly expect the game to grow when you alternate between the same 10 managers at top clubs for 2 decades?

“Only Mo Salah…” 👑 An astonishing set of records for a true Liverpool legend 👏

🇪🇬👑

On my life, he isn’t better than anyone on that list

Congratulations to everyone at the club especially the fans - massive fight and result on the final day! 💪

Nine-season wonder 👑 @LFC | @MoSalah

For the final time. ❤️ Salah's journey at Anfield comes to an end - the only three-time winner of the PFA Players' Player of the Year. All the best, Mo. 👑

Our final Salah selfie 🤳👑

Lmao. Zero connection to the fans to the players. To everything. Just an awful awful emotionless statue. Like an evil spirit. Terrible guy. For a club that prides itself on emotions and connections, I can’t believe we’re actually staying with such a soulless man as coach. Ew.

Cooling break in 22 degrees? #CeltaSevilla

It happened. The greatest player I’ve ever seen play for us 🐐

A fitting end to a shambolic season

This is the end 💔 Three men, one era, unforgettable chaos. I’m grateful I witnessed you guys. YNWA❤️

Did we make it.. Yes we did.

Gakpo is just so ineffective. Offers absolutely nothing.

End of an era 💔

Absolute madness. Gakpo remains on the pitch while he takes off Salah and Rio.
