Harry green got a mention there. hes a mates lad. Remember him nutmegging blokes and doing stepovers etc when we played 5 a side with him. he was about 10 then. I couldnt believe how good he was at that age. his dad was a good player like and his big brother played for pools. plenty of footy talent in the family.

A great Athletic article on our youth recruitment in London (copied from the other site): Saturday afternoon in the north London postcode of N22: on White Hart Lane a steady stream of fans make t

Superb article from The Athletic published today... Gives you a real sense that something special is being built. We've been crying out for this for so long.   Michael Walker 2h ago  2 

The Times interview today with Chuba. I’ve missed all the pics out as I don’t know how to get the whole article across and it’s behind a firewall, but you get a good feeling of what he thinks.

Hes looked decent when I've seen him. Hopefully he can keep stepping up through the levels.

yes mate hope so his dad is top lad to, his big bro was always on his case to improve when he was a kid when i seen them. hes been lucky to have such great footballing support. he had a year out with a bad injury(couple years back) and still got kept on must be really well thought of.

I noticed that it was soon after the Fulham game that his Twitter account got set to protected, basically meaning unless you already followed him, you can't see anything he posts. I reckon he was made aware of it then and there is every chance some Fulham fan decided to traipse through his history and report it to the FA. He scored the important equalising goal that turned the game on its head. It isn't definitely the case but I can't see anyone else committing the time to it in the aftermath of that game.

The problem is that there is no distinction between judging a teenage lad for a likely lapse of judgement or whatever you want to call it and someone who could reasonably be expected to hold the same views today as they held 10 years ago.

And from the FA's perspective, they have to take these reports seriously and treat pretty much every case the same. It doesn't look at all good if the FA receives a report for a homophobic tweet and does nowt about it whilst also working with pro-LGBT organisations and all that. If that information reaches the 'wrong' people and they get found to have passed it by, they'll be under just as much fire.They have to get ahead of the story before it becomes a story about them as much as the player involved.

I think some of these lads need a lesson in taking care of these situations themselves though. As many of us can probably acknowledge, there's almost certainly a time in our lives where we'd say things we would regret being attributed to us as adults. They're obviously a lot more careful in what they post as active public figures so applying the same process to previous stuff is surely a good route to go down for all of them.

It would honestly be better if every active player just nuked their posts from beyond a certain date. There's absolutely no value in anything that far back and there are apparently free and easy-to-use tools to run through your tweets and delete anything from beyond a certain date.

Just out of interest as you mentioned the Fulham game. He seemed a bit riled up in his celebration and seemed to point to something on his arm. Any idea what it is? Tried to look at photos but couldn’t make anything out

His celebration was to show he had ice in his veins.

Apparently it's a thing in basketball now, I'm guessing Bola follows the NBA.

I looked up what ice in your veins means. It said "to describe the feeling of being clutch under pressure".

 

Great, now I have to look up what being clutch under pressure is...

Sorry, I didn't actually realise ice in your veins wasn't a readily known phrase.

It just means you're calm in a stressful situation.

But I also didn't know what clutch meant in that context, though I get the gist. Apparently it's another American sports term.

Just remembered a question a QPR fan asked me on way back to car the other week..  apparently "Pigbag" also used by them, but who was first? Suppose it doesn't really make a difference but is there any other music used by more than one club?
