A six-year-old boy singing football songs with a toy guitar ended up walking onto the pitch with his heroes. Isaac Kearney, a young Liverpool fan born with a rare genetic disorder called Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome, became a viral sensation for his passionate renditions of club anthems. His dedication caught the attention of the team, leading superstars Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk to surprise him at his primary school. They whisked him away to the training center to meet the entire squad, where he excitedly high-fived every player. To cap off the experience, Isaac was chosen as the official mascot for a major match against Manchester City, walking out of the tunnel hand-in-hand with the team captain.

@riccosrant Thanks John. I had a trailblazer for inspiration of my own.

Finally home after a tortuous, even torturous, 15-hour #Cancer #Chemo treatment day that took in tours of North and South London. This platform can be such a cesspit but I stick around for all you lovely people who've fed back to me today and helped me through it. Thank you.

Newcastle United fans drove Sir Bobby Robson out of the club because 5th was perceived to be a failure after 3rd and 4th the previous two season and went into decline immediately. Kevin Keegan quit, exhausted, saying he’d taken the club as far as he could. Eddie Howe has achieved more than both of them. He’s hurting now. Booed off, having to take the blame for everything that’s happened over the last two years. So, take a moment and ask, who could be better? If you can’t cut the most successful manager the club has had for 70 years some slack and give him some time to get things right… #nufc
