I am very proud to have become a graduate from the @uniofglos - my three years spent studying @BASportsJourno taught me an incredible amount and I want to say a massive thank you to those who helped me on my journey!🎓

Such devastating news about Levi Colwill’s ACL injury, had a fantastic CWC and would’ve played a pivotal role this season for the blues.

#Chelsea must now go out and buy a new centre back this window.

I did not have Cole Palmer shaking hands with Donald Trump on my 2025 bingo card.

PSG have lost their heads. Luis Enrique and Gianluigi Donnarumma both contribute to pushing over Joao Pedro.

[Sam Collins @SamCollinsSJ]

Marc Cucurella’s hair claims another victim. Joao Neves pulls back the Spaniards hair and receives a red card, exactly the same way Jack Stephens did for Southampton against Chelsea last season.

[Sam Collins @SamCollinsSJ]

Countless times Robert Sanchez has cost #Chelsea this season, he cannot remain number one. Mistake after mistake.

[Sam Collins @SamCollinsSJ]

Immature performance from #Chelsea tonight. Players lost their heads and showed their inexperience - bad week of results to close out the year, but that shouldn’t take away from what a positive start it has been for Enzo Maresca.

@LouisWrittle_ @shrewsburytown @JosephMasi_ @_JonnyDrake Congratulations Louis, you’re smashing it!

[Sam Collins @SamCollinsSJ]

@DanCarterJourno @bristolcitylive Congratulations Dan, delighted for you - no one deserves it more! ❤️

Formula One is well and truly back - what a special Grand Prix in Baku.

A fantastic battle out in front and an excellent second career win for Oscar Piastri, as well as a superb comeback drive from Lando Norris.

Of course late drama too and a VSC as always in Baku.

[Sam Collins @SamCollinsSJ]

Positives to take, but a tough opening day for #Chelsea against the champions.

[Absolute Chelsea @AbsoluteChelsea]

FT: #Chelsea 0-2 Man City

Thoughts, Blues? 🔵

@LouisWrittle_ @HarrogateTown @Halbokdok @brody_pattison You too mate, all the best!

Greatest England manger in my lifetime. Southgate has given us some exceptional moments over the past eight years. Two Euros finals, a World Cup semi-final and quarter-final too. Grass isn’t always greener.

[England @England]

After 102 games and almost eight years in charge, Gareth Southgate has announced he is to leave his role as manager of the #ThreeLions.

[Sam Collins @SamCollinsSJ]

No way BBC just put ‘Misstiano Penaldo’ on the screen when showing that missed penalty from Ronaldo.

[Sam Collins @SamCollinsSJ]

No matter what happens in extra-time, Slovenia can be so proud of their efforts this tournament. They’ve been superb defensively, keeping out Portugal and England for 90 minutes. On the counter they pose a real threat too, could easily sneak their way into the quarter-finals.

[Sam Collins @SamCollinsSJ]

COME ON ENGLAND!🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏆

[Sam Collins @SamCollinsSJ]

Luka Doncic is simply unbelievable, an incredible shot to win the game.

Kyrie Irving superb in the fourth quarter too, massive win for the Mavs to go up 2-0 in the Western Conference Finals against the Timberwolves.

Two games at the American Airlines Center coming up next.🍿🍿

The #Chelsea players reactions on Instagram tells you exactly how they feel about Mauricio Pochettino leaving.

Very concerning for the future but not in the slightest bit surprising given the strong connection he formed with them and how they publicly backed him.

[Sam Collins @SamCollinsSJ]

Many of the #Chelsea players are surprised with the club’s decision. (@FabrizioRomano)

The players were vocal about their backing of Mauricio Pochettino during his tenure.

Wonder how they will deal with moving on - very messy situation.

[Sam Collins @SamCollinsSJ]

Thomas Tuchel will not be the next #Chelsea head coach - reports yesterday confirmed a young manager is what the owners are after.

Whoever they appoint, they must get it right.

The Blues will have had five different managers in the last 20 months, the circus continues.
