“A little fat genius who will turn them inside out. Give him a ball on a football pitch and he was an artist. The Picasso of our game.”

One football legend on another football legend.

RIP Robbo.

You don’t expect to see this once in your career let alone twice. Tonight I was on comms as Gueye & Keane swung their handbags. Twenty years go I commentated on the Dyer-Bowyer fisticuffs at St. James’s. That one was the winner on points 🥊 @Everton @ManUtd @BBCMOTD

@FootballCliches If you know, you know 😉

[Martin Fisher @Fishfooty]

Two areas need sorting and soon @dcfcofficial

Lack of clean sheets.
5 in our closing 10 games last season, just 1 in 10 this.

Lack of shots.
Only 78 so far, just 26 on target!
Both easily the lowest tallies in the Champ.

More of this & the dreaded “R” word will return.

For club and country Erling Haaland’s figures continue to astound. Took his tally to 51 goals in 46 apps for Norway tonight.

It was his 6th international hat-trick , his second in a row.

(This after he missed a penalty AND missed the retake at 0-0!)

@ManCity @premierleague

[Martin Fisher @Fishfooty]

What an incredible night for Thelo Aasgaard. Only his third cap for Norway comes on as a sub after 64 minutes and scores 4 (FOUR) goals.
Of course Haaland went one better with five as they thrash Moldova 11-1. World Cup bound. @RangersFC

[Martin Fisher @Fishfooty]

Three stitches in his chin after his disagreement with a coach door now three goals before half-time for Erling Haaland. 46 goals in 45 apps and his 5th hat trick. Norway cruising to their first World Cup since 1998.

@Iandennisbbc Spot on Denno. The whole point of numbers on shirts is to identify players… nigh on impossible if that number is hidden/buried by stripes. Well done @premierleague and a particularly big thanks from commentators everywhere.

[Martin Fisher @Fishfooty]

Caught up with Fikayo Tomori today while covering Leeds v AC Milan in Dublin, we reminisced about THAT night at Elland Road!

Still follows our progress from afar but doubt he was as disappointed as I was with the score from Stoke ☹️@dcfcofficial

[Martin Fisher @Fishfooty]

@Fan89Footy So “fake news” even existed in 1974?!

[Martin Fisher @Fishfooty]

Imagine being around to watch this!

[Melodies & Masterpieces @SVG__Collection]

Happy 85th birthday to the legendary Ringo Starr!

Below is rare footage of The Beatles performing at the Cavern Club in 1962 — the only known video from that iconic venue. Lennon and Starr were 22, McCartney 20, and Harrison just 19…

@pmc1884 @pumafootball @dcfcofficial Can’t quite squeeze into a medium anymore 😉

[Martin Fisher @Fishfooty]

First time I’ve ever bought the shirt on day one of it going on sale but @pumafootball have produced a beauty 👏🏼👏🏼
Hoping for a good season 🐏 @dcfcofficial

[Martin Fisher @Fishfooty]

@PaulLimbert @pumafootball @dcfcofficial Yes mate

[Martin Fisher @Fishfooty]

@dcfcofficial @SkyBetChamp Tough start that. Two Play-Off sides then the best of the relegated PL teams. And it all begins at one of our least successful venues.

Bring it on! 🐏

When the dog decides to join you to cheer England to victory in the Test, and you’re not wearing your box!

@bbctms #ENGvsIND #woofoof

[Martin Fisher @Fishfooty]

Here’s hoping @dcfcofficial score first on Saturday. Check this out⬇️

Over the season:
Score first W12 of 18 D3 L3

Under JE unbeaten W5 D1 L0

Over the season:
Concede first W0 of 23 D4 L19

Under JE pointless W0 D0 L5

(There have been three 0-0 draws)

[Martin Fisher @Fishfooty]

So flat y’day but still should’ve scored in 2nd half. Never known a season like it for injuries. Here’s my team for Monday in a 5-3-2 @dcfcofficial

Zetterstrom

Ward
Nyambe
Nelson
Elder
CBT

NML
Ozoh
Brown

Roofe
Salvesen

To paraphrase Mick Dundee:
“THAT’S an injury list!”

[Martin Fisher @Fishfooty]

@Official_NCFC Sorry to hear this very sad news. Mick was a top man and a great coach. Serious when he needed to be, he had a cheeky sense of humour too and was always generous with his time.

RIP Mick.

[Martin Fisher @Fishfooty]

To be fair @maxrushden I wish I had! But that would have been unprofessional and could have been considered confrontational.

So instead you stand there & let them take out their frustration on you when you’re only there representing the fans who want an explanation 🤷🏻‍♂️

[Max Rushden 💛🖤 @maxrushden]

despite my (increasingly irrational) love for Ange, I hate the power imbalance between manager and interviewer. Should be able to replay 'ok mate, what is a good question to someone who's just been hammered at Everton?'
