A little bit of digital assistance for any neutrals - or fans unfamiliar with the opposition players - here at Bramall Lane. #sufc #twitterblades

"ALONSO'S ROUGH ANFIELD RETURN" @JamesShield1 for @TimesSport Xabi Alonso's return to Anfield ended in heartache as Chelsea fell to a penalty shoot-out defeat against Liverpool after Wesley Fofana skied his decisive spot-kick. #TheTimes #TomorrowsPapersToday

Back at Bramall Lane for Sheffield United v Wrexham, two clubs whose relationship has become a little strained. The programme, however, remains stellar. #sufc #twitterblades

People can stand-by them in their hour of need and turn down exciting opportunities, borrow money to put petrol in their car in order to attend matches after going without wages and still report for work everyday despite not receiving a full salary...

...but, when push comes to shove, football clubs always find a way to remind us that they're ruthless win chasers rather than, as we're frequently told, loving, loyal families. #football

It never ceases to amaze me how many expert pundits don't know the laws of the game they are supposedly there to provide intelligent insight on. If they get a new boardgame at Christmas, will they roll the dice before reading the rules? ⚽ #Bournemouth

As Prime Minister for the United Kingdom and Paris, he really should hang his head in shame. A shocking dereliction of duty. #Dearodear
As Paris burns our prime minister has stopped people playing loud music on buses & trains.

Lincoln City giving it the big'un before the game against West Ham. Things didn't quite worked out as they hoped but, as Nuno later admitted, they did frustrate the visitors with 10 men. Nine was always going to be a problem, mind. #imps #whufc

Plenty of familiar faces and a very helpful team sheet at Lincoln tonight. #imps #whufc

I hear the arguments about footfall, transport etc. Don't agree with them, but hear them. How in earth this isn't in #Sheffield, though, remains beyond me. #football
My first trip to the National Football Museum in Manchester. What do people think? I was very underwhelmed, the play level was in use, closed or not working, the history level pretty small, the top level deserted and boring. Definite Man U and C bias despite the title National.
