Beyond sad to have to say goodbye to my beloved Grandad, Jack Charlton. He enriched so many lives through football, friendship and family. He was a kind, funny and thoroughly genuine man and our family will miss him enormously. pic.twitter.com/MR4i5WgAMP

Saddened to hear that Jack Charlton has passed away. World Cup winner with England, manager of probably the best ever Ireland side and a wonderfully infectious personality to boot. RIP Jack.

Some day I’ll tell Blake about the nice old gent who calmed him down when he had a meltdown in the supermarket. Sad to hear about Jack Charlton’s passing, RIP Jack. pic.twitter.com/zzg9PdzjGh

Some of the football has been quite boring lately, so it was good of Hugo lloris and Heung-min Son to give us some half-time entertainment this week.

The Amazon producers saw that the most exciting thing to have happened all season for the Spurs documentary was Mourinho hugging a ball boy so they made Lloris and Son have a fake fight looool

Surely not…
No goalkeeper dives for balls going miles wide with such eagerness as Jordan Pickford. Quite impressive.

… oh.
Unbelievable save by Pickford 😂 pic.twitter.com/FI9hODPGDz

This is child abuse.
This video of a footballer nutmegging an entire squad, even when they know it is coming, is utter joy. pic.twitter.com/sZxMAKqzWy
