🚨🐺 Wolves agree deal to sign Kieran Trippier on a free move, here we go!
Deal done on a two year contract as @SkySports_Keith reports.
The agreement will include an extra season as option. Trippier already said yes.
🚨 Leo Walta could leave Sirius before the window closed as English and Italian clubs are keen on 22 year old talent.
Movements taking place with exit now expected soon.
❤️🩹 Raphinha: “If Hansi Flick didn't come I would have left Barça. He changed everything”.
“He told me I was going to be important. This is what a player needs. Confidence”.

A new date and time for our home #PL fixture with @Arsenal. 📅
The game has been moved at the Gunners' request due to their participation in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday 23 December.
@Benjwinst@Danny_EFC6@TacticallyMatt I think he’s counting teams on the same points as one position. So Arsenal are 1st, Man City 2nd, LIV,SUN,BOU are 3rd, Spurs,CHE, Man U are 4th and so on. This ends up with us and Newcastle in 8th. God knows why he’s doing it that way like 😂
Suicide.
I'm choosing to be deliberately blunt and provocative in this post because it's necessary. Government, charities, football clubs are all pushing water up a hill in highlighting what is undoubtedly a major health crisis.
You take a rope.
You put it up in a garage or a tree nearby or far away.
You're thinking about every loved one you'll leave behind as you put that rope around your neck.
Then you drop.
Some are decapitated.
Some aren't.
All are found by someone who has a lifetime of trauma that will never leave them.
A son.
A daughter.
A brother.
A sister.
A mother.
A father.
I know 2 men who hung themselves.
One was found by his Mom.
One was found by his brother.
Neither have recovered fully. 20 and 30 years on.
A life sentence for people who were already worrying, terrified their loved one may do something.
So just visualise the above and ask, "is there another way"?
A segway for a moment.
I do a few Q&A's every year. Tales of yesterday with a 99% male audience of my age group.
After the stories and fun, my last question back to the audience is..
"Hands up if you struggle with a mental health issue".
Nobody ever puts a hand up. Despite 1 in every 3 of 500 attendees statistically struggling.
"Ah, nobody, that's fucking brilliant! Well I do! ". I then graphically tell people, stunned into silence about how a rope around my neck in the middle of nowhere jolted me to go home and cry like a baby to my Mom.
After the Q&A has finished, something always happens. I'll be chatting to a few guys, saying bye and one by one, men will come over and whisper " I struggle".
Or my mailbox the next day will have 30 emails from guys, their partners or kids saying " Dad/Uncle /Brother was there last night and what you said hit them hard".
And that's how some people realise that it's time to speak to a pal or family member or even rant to me in an email. It works, I often get a follow up email a year or 6 later saying that they took responsibility for their suicidal feelings and are now flying.
Humans are programmed to want to live, to have families and to keep the species growing and thriving. So for a human to want to short circuit that desire isn't normal, and it should never be spoken of as normal. It's the ultimate red flag.
If you suspect your mate, Dad, Brother, Uncle is struggling mentally, they deserve your intervention.
They deserve a " are you OK, please tell me what's up".
They deserve an opportunity to get past wanting to hang a rope over a tree or in a garage and slowly struggle until they die and you find them.
If you've been there and trust me I have plenty, then you'll know that text out of the blue, or a footie mate or one of your kids asking jow you are can open the curtains to some sunshine.
Because when suicide is your only answer, the room is already dark, and you can't see a way out.
So please, fucking pretty please, ask that husband, Dad, Uncle, Cousin, footie pal TODAY how they are.
You may be shocked what comes back but extremely glad that you asked.
For those who struggle, you're not alone.
THE MOST RIDICULOUS ENDING TO THE MADDEST GAME 🤯
Just watch... You will not be disappointed 😳
