    Hate to call anyone out but Micky Gray on @talkSPORT (backed by two experienced journalists) calling for 32-times capped Northern Ireland international Dan Ballard to make a late push for the England squad is an absolute shocker

    Just seen this from Liam Brady in PA's Jack Carlton tribute piece... "Jack Charlton's first words to me were, 'You're number eight, Ian'. I said, 'Ian Brady was the Moors murderer, Jack'."

    Sheffield's Harry Maguire managed to find himself a Blades flag as he celebrated England's #WorldCup win #sufc #twitterblades

    Itโ€™s a genuinely sad time, however no sporting events or activities should be cancelled this weekend. People getting up and going to work or school as normal, then having their weekend leisure time taken from them doesnโ€™t sit right with me. Thereโ€™s no respect in forced mourning

    Dean Henderson is Englandโ€™s best goalkeeper. Iโ€™ll accept no arguments

    He shouldn't have to, but Alex Bruce has defended his dad, Steve in the face of some very unfair criticism by BBC pundits tonight. Murphy and Gullit showed a real lack of knowledge of the situation and worse still, empathy Story here: thestar.co.uk/sport/footballโ€ฆ #swfc

    When my daughters were babies Iโ€™d play @oasis while I did the night feed; when they were a wee we had โ€˜Oasis Daysโ€™ - Iโ€™d make lasagne and strawberries & cream. On Friday I took my eldest to see @liamgallagher - seeing the joy on her face was one of the best feelings Iโ€™ve ever had

    Hayfever probably bad. Or a bit of a cold. Nothing else

    Decimated by injury, confidence-sapped, new manager, new formation, captain sent off - those #swfc players gave their all tonight and deserved at least a point and applause from the fans

    Took me all night but it finally hit me who John Terry reminded me of with his outfit on Sunday. Chubbs from Happy Gilmore ...

    Honestly, this is a really, really bad #swfc team. There's nothing about them. The football's poor, and not even like one of those teams who are terrible to watch but at least own it and use it to their advantage. Seriouly, just dreadful all round. Doomed

    This is Orchard Square in Sheffield, crammed full of Danes before Denmark and Croatia played at Hillsborough in Euro 96

    Penistone Road, an hour and a bit before kick off for Sheffield Wednesday v Leeds United midweek cup match. A point is truly being made #swfc
