    The first fan I spoke to for a video didn’t actually have Mitoma’s name on the back of his shirt - so who did he have? #bhafc

    Tate Ferdinand, son of Rio, at the back in the No.5 shirt for Albion last night. I asked his coach about his progress #bhafc theargus.co.uk/sport/25527018

    Just met a 10-yr-old goalkeeper called Harry, who rather hopefully contacted Joe Hart (via BFC, I think) to ask if he could have a pic today. Hart heard a shout as he got off the team bus on arrival, said: "Is that Harry?" and went over for a video, picture and quick chat.

    Quite a night for this man, who had a couple of real striker’s finishes along with the two rockets. #bhafc

    Really enjoyed last night. Four weeks after lying full of staples and tubes in a hospital bed following a quite tricky cancer op (thanks @NHSMillion, especially @UHSussex RSCH and @qvh), it was uplifting to be almost pitchside at an intense PL contest.

    It was my pleasure to go to Tsukuba University and meet Kaoru Mitoma’s former coach Masaaki Koido today. We spoke about Mitoma’s uni days and progress since plus Japanese uni football, had a look around the facilities - and flicked through the famous thesis on wingplay. #bhafc

    I went to a Nike event earlier today as fans met four Albion players. All seemed to enjoy it - and James Milner ensured a flustered fan got her picture. #bhafc theargus.co.uk/sport/24477532…

    A rare delight to talk to this man in his excellent English. Kaoru Mitoma wins goal of the season - and thanks Verbruggen for the assist. #bhafc

    Guardiola says finishing was key but match was not as easy as 4-0 suggests. "Few teams come here to play with this courage. Managers like Graham are good for football - really good." #bhafc

    How good is this? Connor Goldson involved in the warm-up. #bhafc

    De Zerbi: "Big clubs can buy players but they can't buy our soul and our spirit. That's not on the market." #bhafc #lfc #cfc
