- My dad died yesterday. Pic below is only one that exists of him with me, my brother and his four grandchildren together. I love cricket and non-league football because of him. Covid didn't get him, but it stripped us of chance to do this more and give him a bloody good send-off.
- My wife’s friend is almost four months pregnant but just been diagnosed with cancer. Chemo starts soon. Tough months ahead. So my wife and other mums are cooking weekly food drops for her, husband and young son. One less thing to think about. So proud. Aren’t people brilliant?
- #tomorrowsfrontpagetoday I make no apologies for this front page. Against the backdrop of a basket case football club, the achievements of these young guns is remarkable. And it needs highlighting. They deserve all our support tomorrow night at the Emirates.
- Blackpool Tower lit red, white and blue tomorrow in respect to those caught up in the London terror attacks. Union flag at half-mast too
- My final act @The_Gazette. Tomorrow’s front page. One year on since Jimmy Armfield died. One of the best things I’ve ever worked on, mostly because of what it means to @ArmfieldDuncan and brother John. TEN more pages inside. Support your local press. #BuyAPaper
- BELOKON WINS! £31.2m plus interests and costs 50/50 shareholder. Jeez...
- A day I genuinely feared would not arrive - first day of a new season @BlackpoolFC without the rancid stain of the Oystons infecting it. Fans deserve this new beginning. Shout, sing, cry. Just enjoy it all #upthepool

- Tomorrow's front page today. Dozens of pics of Jimmy used to create one big mosaic of a legend. Zoom in #sirjimmy
- I'd rather lose 4-0 in the Ashes and be embarrassed by NZ than cheat - and then try to hide evidence down my pants. Can't see how Smith as captain survives this4 months ago, Bancroft & Smith giggled their way through a press conference at the Gabba, enjoying England’s Bairstow’s headbutt fiasco. Don’t look quite so clever today...
