I don’t care what team game we play, headers & volleys, 2 touch, cards or Rock Paper Scissors. If we lose and your response is “it’s just a game” I will never take you seriously or play with you ever again.!

Last words from my son before bed tonight..
“what if they treat me like saka. I’m just like him and we both play for arsenal too. I don’t think I want to play for England, will you talk to them if they ever ask me”
My heart is broken.. shattered and broken 💔

The problem with demanding equal game time for kids in football is that it punishes the better players & limits their chances to improve, even worse fast forward 3 years, you have a generation of people not just players! who feel entitled to things they don’t deserve

I’m curious how many Academy coaches could work with grassroots players & be successful or even last a full season, not released from academy grassroots lads, I’m talking the average kid that plays Sunday league football.
It would be a steep learning curve let me tell you.!

So the FA has announced that the use of the words “Academy” and “development Centre” isn’t allowed unless you meet their proper criteria. No more Sunday clubs or rip off showcase teams calling themselves an academy!
now time to regulate this 1-2-1 coaching scam!

Reading a lot of parents worries and concerns about their kids futures in academies. Worried because clubs are only recruiting bigger athletic players and slowly releasing smaller technical players. Coach or not, I feel obligated to tell a few truths about what the system is

Grass roots coaches! don’t be discouraged by ungrateful piss taking parents that expect you to be uber drivers for their kids, don’t pay for kit or subs & have never said thank you! Remember it’s not the kids fault, they’re the reason we do this! Football appreciates you! ❤️⚽️

I do not agree with independent coaching companies calling themselves “Academies” it’s deliberate mis marketing to con parents and players out of their hard earned money. The FA must regulate this and stop it now!

This is a funny reminder for all of us parents especially parents who are professional coaches that we don’t always know how our ‘encouragement’ is received & can make our kids feel…

Quite a few ‘Managers’ matching their clubs budgets with their own money for a job is insane… rather than becoming a decent coach and learning the game properly, being a good man and treating people with respect, you buy your way in and pretend to be a ‘gaffer’ 🤣

I love finding new ways to keep my 3yr old enjoying football. Tonight he asked to play “cars and football daddy”, so we made a road and pretended the ball was his car and he was lighting McQueen. I thought I’d use this opportunity to work on some dribble patterns and play cars 😂

It’s the fact he is born and bread here yet doesn’t feel like he belongs. He’s asking me to protect him and it’s the worst most emasculating feeling in the world to not be able to protect him from that thing he’s scared of.. I hope you never have to experience this

Sad day when a kid gets murdered at the local youth club over an electric scooter & 3 mates stabbed in the process 😓 this is a generational problem. Kids killing kids! it’s not boredom it’s not poverty it’s not fatherless kids. its a choice! We need serious jail sentances

The only way to slow down this epidemic of stabbings is to give an automatic 5 to 10 year prison sentence to Anyone caught with a knife however big or small... no bail no strikes just go to straight to prison.
Schools must play their part in reporting things too.!

Message to ALL first team managers that don’t play youth players because “they lack experience” use this time to give them the experience you say they need. Personally if you’re good enough your old enough. If you can’t help the player adapt the problem is YOU not the player!

The journey is the success. All the friendships, travelling and life skills they learn. We can be so precious of our kids that we cripple them. You can’t protect your kids from all adversity. Being released is not game over just as not getting the job you interviewed for isn’t

Just to add, the amount of African players that play for European nations is ridiculous. how ‘great’ would England be without African/Caribbean players? The AFCON doesn’t just deserve more respect, the entire continent of Africa deserves more respect.
AFCON needs more respect… ✊🏽
It matters & federations need to do more to highlight this.
Ask the likes of Mo Salah, Didier Drogba, Yaya Toure, Abedi Pele, Samuel Eto'o what it means….
