I played with a player at step 3 who didn’t work and he’s only income was playing part time football. According to you he was a professional footballer!🤣🤣🤣

@JasonBanton If you make a living solely through playing football you are in fact a professional footballer

Harpenden Town FC can confirm that Lee Hawkes has stepped down as 1st team manager.
Lee has been with Harpenden Town since 2024, having initially joined as Assistant Coach before stepping up to become Head Coach earlier this season.
During his time at the club, Lee showed total commitment, professionalism and dedication to the group, and played an important role in supporting the development of the squad.
Everyone at Harpenden Town would like to thank Lee for his hard work and contribution over this period, and we wish him all the very best for the future.
In the meantime, Peter Russell and the existing coaching team will be joined by Ryan Plowright as player/coach while the club begins the process of recruiting a new First Team Manager ahead of next season.
We thank our supporters for their continued backing.

@henrywinter He had two good games. He’s a terrible footballer

This season should have been about Myles Lewis-Skelly nailing down positions with Arsenal and England. New season, new contract, fit and fresh after the summer, everything seemed in place. Yet, frustratingly to his many supporters, he’s now third-choice left-back at Arsenal, second choice at best with England and perhaps slipping further given his lack of game-time in the Premier League.
It’s important to remember he's still only 19, still learning his trade, a player of huge potential but Lewis-Skelly clearly has some convincing of Mikel Arteta to do. You can't question Arteta's judgement. He currently has better options ahead of MLS. It's down to the player to respond.
MLS has been an unused sub in 7 of Arsenal’s last 8 PL games and was not in the match-day squad against Leeds. He’s not started a PL game since Dec 27. He started both rounds of the FA Cup as Arteta rotated and started Arsenal’s last two UCL games, particularly impressing against Inter Milan in January.
But Arsenal are all about the PL this season. It’s why they will not worry about criticism of their approach (and they do play free-flowing football, as against Spurs, as well as unleashing their set-piece prowess which accounted for Chelsea). MLS will surely want more involvement in Arsenal’s No 1 mission – the title.
He just has to win Arteta back over with his work in training, his constant application and showing an obvious determination to succeed at the highest level. He's got to fight for the right to start. Because at left-back, Piero Hincapie and Riccardo Calafiori are deservedly ahead. Given the way Hincapie is playing, Arsenal will surely be tempted to make his loan from Bayer Leverkusen permanent.
Hincapie is tough, already a champion with Leverkusen (23/24), sees possibilities and picks out attackers (to Gyokeres and Saka v Spurs). Hincapie may not be as eye-catching in his surges upfield as Calafiori but he’s less injury-prone and more reliable defensively (7 tackles v Spurs, outstanding v Chelsea, unlucky with og). Hincapie stood out even when team struggled (draw v Wolves). Arteta's belief in Hincapie is well-founded.
And does MLS have a future in his best position, central midfield, with Christian Norgaard coming on in PL games ahead of him and Arsenal linked with Sandro Tonali? Even with Mikel Merino out, he’s not getting a look-in as cover. So does MLS fight to regain his place, prove to Arteta that he can play in midfield or move on? Do Arsenal cash in on an academy player, and all the pure profit that brings to PSR calculations? MLS has a contract to 2030, he’s versatile, has a very good injury record, so Arsenal could generate a substantial sum.
He’s also an England international which would add to his price. MLS started the first game of the Thomas Tuchel era, scored the first goal, but this season has lost the left-back spot to Nico O’Reilly. Lewis Hall is in form. Tuchel has used Djed Spence at left-back as well as right. The similarly versatile Tino Livramento is an obvious contender for the squad when fit. MLS has competition with club and country. It’s just how he responds now. He has the ability. #AFC #ENG

It was. CL draw has made me think we should switch priorities
Don’t think we can compete with run-in City - especially with how easy we are to get something from
