After spotting a young fan in tears, Declan Rice went over to check on him and even shared his shirt! ❤️
Reading have been relegated and will play in the third tier of English football for the first time since 2002. Just 6 years ago, the Royals were two penalties away from the Premier League, so where did it all go wrong from there? A THREAD 🧵
Absolutely fascinated by this table that summarises how many seasons have elapsed since each of these leagues witnessed four different champions in a row. Portugal, of course, have only had five different winners in Primeira Liga history. By u/a-Farewell-to-Kings (Reddit)

"All young coaches need a bit of help and guidance, and Roy at that time was an experienced manager at Udinese." With over 1,000 Premier League games managed between them, Roy Hodgson and David Moyes take a trip down memory lane 💭 A lovely chat with the pair pre-match ❤️
A very special guest helping to announce our team... Great job, Frazer 👏
We’d like you to meet Frazer, our eight year-old fan. He is blind after going through 64 operations to try and save his eyesight, but he is still full of joy 💛 We wanted to give him the best day of his life. 🫶 @Young_Wolves x @LeminaM_13

Great to see the Pele tributes because it feels like there has been an attempt to chip away at his legacy. Viewing his career through prism of today’s game does him a disservice. The European leagues weren’t superior and the friendlies weren’t friendlies. skysports.com/football/news/…
