Sheffield United, football and boxing writer. As for the rest, you don't want to know. Trust me.

Scarborough Athletic versus Marine. #nonleaguefootball

[James Shield @JamesShield1]

@sportimage I'll try harder next time. But would music have saved it?

[James Shield @JamesShield1]

The teams. #MUNvAVL #football

[James Shield @JamesShield1]

From St Andrew's to Old Trafford where, remarkably, Manchester United face Aston Villa hoping to climb out of the bottom three. #football

Random Thought: Have Dave Allen and Victor Matos ever been spotted together in the same room? ⚽🥊 #BIRvSWA #boxing

[James Shield @JamesShield1]

Martin's right. And he's been very economical with his list, too. #boxing

[Martin @NewAgeBoxingUK]

Things we as boxing fans are still 'waiting on the facts to come out before we judge'

1) Dillian Whyte's failed drugs test vs Oscar Rivas
2) Chantelle Cameron refusing to let Ellie Scotney fight on her undercard
3) Conor Benn's failed drugs test

Sure the facts will be out soon

St Andrews, or St Andrews@Knighthead Park as it will never be known or remembered, is my pitstop this afternoon. #blues #swans

High-level chess against an awkward southpaw is one thing; dealing with Shakur Stevenson's IQ is another entirely. #boxing

A little bit of digital assistance for any neutrals - or fans unfamiliar with the opposition players - here at Bramall Lane. #sufc #twitterblades

"ALONSO'S ROUGH ANFIELD RETURN"
@JamesShield1 for @TimesSport

Xabi Alonso's return to Anfield ended in heartache as Chelsea fell to a penalty shoot-out defeat against Liverpool after Wesley Fofana skied his decisive spot-kick.

Back at Bramall Lane for Sheffield United v Wrexham, two clubs whose relationship has become a little strained. The programme, however, remains stellar. #sufc #twitterblades

[James Shield @JamesShield1]

I'm at Anfield for Liverpool v Chelsea. Views and teams. #cfc #liverpool

[James Shield @JamesShield1]

...but, when push comes to shove, football clubs always find a way to remind us that they're ruthless win chasers rather than, as we're frequently told, loving, loyal families. #football

[James Shield @JamesShield1]

People can stand-by them in their hour of need and turn down exciting opportunities, borrow money to put petrol in their car in order to attend matches after going without wages and still report for work everyday despite not receiving a full salary...

[James Shield @JamesShield1]

I'm at Hull City. So are Brentford and plenty of folk with Sheffield United connections. #sufc #twitterblades

[James Shield @JamesShield1]

In position. 🥊 #SmithPuello

[James Shield @JamesShield1]

The weigh-in. #SmithPuello

[James Shield @JamesShield1]

It never ceases to amaze me how many expert pundits don't know the laws of the game they are supposedly there to provide intelligent insight on. If they get a new boardgame at Christmas, will they roll the dice before reading the rules? ⚽ #Bournemouth

[James Shield @JamesShield1]

The countdown has begun. 🥊 #SmithPuello

[James Shield @JamesShield1]

@Berkshireblade Crowbar required to get that one in! 😂

As Prime Minister for the United Kingdom and Paris, he really should hang his head in shame. A shocking dereliction of duty. #Dearodear

[Sharron Davies HoL MBE @sharrond62]

As Paris burns our prime minister has stopped people playing loud music on buses & trains.
