@bromleyfc Westy Vs Altrincham.

It's National Superhero Day 🦸‍♂️ We've enjoyed a handful of last minute winners this season, but what has been your all-time favourite Bromley FC superhero moment? Be creative, you can't all say Webby's penalty at Wembley!

@Martin_Wickham There should be a freedom of information request made to all to clubs to find out the personal connections that exist between staff before they worked together Guarantee there'd be shocking findings.

Genuinely it’s who you know rather than what you know over there isn’t it? A whole batch of nepo-coaches rather than actual talents who might cost a bit more.

@almurray RB is a fraud and some people will fall for his waffle

This is magnificent

@bromleyfc But.....does pineapple belong on a pizza?

Side note: we’re merely interacting with the post. We still believe Broomfields makes the best pizzas 🍕

This is getting more stupid / surreal by the day. @bromleyfc facing up to 10 ex premier league teams next season. Leicester City Sheffield Wednesday Barnsley Huddersfield Town Luton Town Reading Wigan Athletic Blackpool Bolton Wanderers Bradford City

@TheS_Resource And I bet 99% don't listen to him.

Per Mertesacker stands in front of the parents of every under-eight at Arsenal and tells them the same thing. "Your son has got less than 1% to be the next Saka. We've got to make sure that we develop well-rounded individuals who still can find a bus station and are not waiting for the taxis when we leave them. 99% need to find a different job, period. We cannot just prepare them to fail. No chance, I am not in it for this." That's not pessimism, that's the most honest thing anyone in elite youth football has said out loud in years. 1️⃣ Mertesacker spent nearly eight years as Arsenal's academy manager, overseeing one of the most productive periods in Hale End's history Saka, Emile Smith Rowe, Myles Lewis-Skelly, Ethan Nwaneri, Max Dowman and the foundation of all of it wasn't a scouting methodology or a training model. It was a decision to tell the truth to every parent, right from the very beginning. Less than one per cent will make it as a professional. The programme exists for the other 99% as well, and the two things are not in conflict. The bus station isn't a place, it's a metaphor for what independent, capable, grounded young people are able to do when the football eventually stops. Finding their own way, without needing someone to carry them there. 2️⃣ What he's describing is something grassroots football has always understood at some level but rarely said with this kind of clarity. Most of the children we work with will not become professional footballers. That isn't a failure of the coach, or the child, or the programme it is just the shape of the numbers, and it has always been the shape of the numbers. The question worth sitting with is whether the experience we're giving them is one that sets them up well for a life that will mostly happen away from football, or one that only makes sense if the 1% outcome arrives. 3️⃣ The line that lands hardest is this: "We cannot just prepare them to fail." Preparing children to fail is exactly what happens when the entire environment is built around an outcome that almost none of them will reach. When self-worth gets tied to selection. When being released at sixteen feels like the end of something rather than a redirect. When the adults around a young player have quietly, without meaning to, communicated that the football is the point and the person is secondary. Mertesacker spent eight years at one of the biggest clubs in the world arguing the opposite, and the players coming out of Hale End reflect it. 4️⃣ For those of us working at grassroots level, there's something both sobering and freeing about hearing this from someone at the very top of the game. If Arsenal's academy manager is standing in front of under-eight parents and reframing what success looks like, then the rest of us have permission and perhaps a responsibility, to do the same. Not to lower expectations, but to broaden what we're actually developing: • Confidence that doesn't depend on being picked • Resilience that outlasts a bad season • The ability to work in a group, handle setbacks, and keep showing up • An identity that exists outside of football These things serve the 1% and the 99% equally, and they're built in exactly the same sessions, on exactly the same pitches. 5️⃣ Mertesacker has now stepped down from his role at Arsenal, and what he leaves behind isn't just a list of players who made the first team, it's a way of thinking about what a programme is actually for. That conversation doesn't stay at Hale End. It belongs everywhere a child is learning the game, including your Sunday morning pitch. Do the clubs and programmes you're involved with talk honestly with parents about where this road leads and what it's building along the way? We'd love to hear your experience below 👇

NEVER IN DOUBT.

@ukboomers @NipseyHoussle I've started eating beans on Mondays so I can have a bubble bath on Tuesdays.

@NipseyHoussle We're blessed to be spreading our wisdom to so many people. The more young people put down the matcha and pick up a mortgage application the better. Thank you young man. Margaret sends her regards.

Anyone know of a good job for someone who hates people?

@ActualNames1 Surely he'll ear them coming

@Mubarak_mubious When they don't feel the need to constantly let you know that they are doing well

what is the clearest sign that someone is genuinely doing well in life ??

@Coach_Temisan Would be interested to see the data of players who've done what badges but never gone into coaching but just done them as they were "free" / possible career path at the time

@Coach_Temisan All free to ex pros though or at least some of the courses?

The cost for qualifications to be a professional football manager: Level 1 = £160 UEFA C Licence = £650 UEFA B Licence = £1,200 UEFA A Licence = £4,000 Advanced Youth Award = £3,435 Pro Licence = £13,700 Total = £23,145

@JaydaBF These people are a "type". Every pub, workplace, supermarket queue, school playground has them. They want to run this country down, slag everyone & everything off, yet come up with no solutions. They also hate everything this country stands for that they stay here.

Yesterday this guy was “ashamed to be British” because Starmer didn’t agree to send our men to fight a foreign war. Today: “I don’t want them here!”. Do these people SERIOUSLY not see the correlation between our meddling in foreign regimes and the subsequent immigration influx?

@NickyHanshaw Touché. Dominic foley is 1 of the worst loans I've seen there.

@ScottTweedPhoto Neither of them were Loan signings Hope This Helps.

One of the worst loan signings ever in The History of Southend and we’ve had some absolute Dogs in my time. Always took a short corner cos he couldn’t hack the tiny step from track to pitch. Barely a lip.

@ShieldsClips Money quite clearly can't buy you a spelling book though. Violates......

@michaelsheen Do you still have the physical copy?

Never seen my mother & father so evenly mixed in my face. Makes me very happy. Thank you @ScottTweedPhoto

@TRobinsonNewEra If you've been to Tenerife, hes been to elevenerife. The local pub waffler that everyone tries to avoid engaging with.

150 churches burned to the ground last year alone in the UK, government does nothing. A workman walks into a Manchester mosque, is essentially kidnapped by a baying mob and held against his will. The government give the mosques an extra £40m of taxpayers money because of it🤦🏻‍♂️
