People may look at Raúl's goal record and scoff, but he was a lot more than a goalscorer. He was tireless in his work OOP. His link-up play was crucial to our buildup. He was a mentor to Muniz and the best pen taker the Prem has ever seen. I hope he smashes it at Wolves!
Raul Jimenez has been a very good striker and selfless pro for Fulham in his three years at the club. Cost only £5m, 31 goals in 115 appearances, hard working on the field, also represented the club well off it, great with fans. He’s at the World Cup, still valued by Mexico at 35.
Such a respected professional deserves more than the small line in the six-point thanking him and the others “for their service and efforts during their time at Fulham”. Doubtless, the club will have prepared special content celebrating what Raul did for Fulham, how he ran himself into the ground for them, scored some important goals (PL winners this season against Sunderland, Forest and West Ham) and why he is so loved and respected by fans. Raul deserves it. #FFC
Marcia Lucas' impact on film cannot be understated. She was the mastermind behind the Trench Run edit in A New Hope, winning an Oscar, and worked on all of the original Star Wars trilogy. Lucas also edited three Scorsese films in the 70s. She really was one of the greats! 🙏
Everyone at Lucasfilm was deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Marcia Lucas. One of three Oscar-winning editors who worked on Star Wars: A New Hope, she also contributed to American Graffiti, among other early Lucasfilm productions. We join the global filmmaking community in mourning her loss.

Aaron Rai’s historic victory at the PGA Championship is a fantastic reminder of just how great of a multicultural sporting nation the United Kingdom has become.
Aaron’s parents are of Indian and Kenyan descent, but he was born and raised in the heart of England. Now he’s broken the more than 100 year drought of English major winners to lift the Wanamaker Trophy.
Yesterday, he was asked about his heritage:
“I'm very proud to be from England. That's where I grew up. That's where a lot of my family still live.
“I'm very proud of India and Kenya as well. My mum grew up there. My mum’s side of the family lived there for a number of years before they moved to England. My sister now lives there. My mum still spends a lot of time in Kenya.
“Again, going back a couple of generations, both of my sets of grandparents from my mum and dad's side were from India.
“Again, I'm very proud of representing all three really. I don't know what all that represents or how it's going to come across. All I can say is I'm very proud to be a mix of all of them.”
Aaron Rai isn’t just an English champion, he’s a global one, and he’s an incredible ambassador for the sport.

@JrVaide Not right now, but we could have if we recruit well in the summer. We have a lot of players who would fit a 3atb very well stylistically. Bassey, Robinson and Castagne are some examples.
This goal from former Barca academy player Lee Seung-Woo sealed the game for Champions Jeonbuk against Ulsan. They move into second place. Superb footwork on the touchline!
Jeonbuk claimed their first win of the season on Wednesday, beating Anyang 2-1.
Here’s how Chung Jung-Yong’s side won, and why there are still reasons for concern.

This is one of my favourite award season wins of all time. What a film and what a performance. To win against that lineup of fellow nominees. Incredible!
