@MattyHayward96 I don’t know, maybe wheelbarrow racing?

Don't know if this is common knowledge, but the BBC has produced a spoiler-free link to watch World Cup match highlights without knowing the score.

To any young kid reading this…

I’ve doubted myself in every league I’ve ever played in.

Ryman Prem.
Conference South.
League Two.
League One.
Championship…

And even right before my first Premier League start last night.

That’s not weakness.
That’s being human.

That’s being alive.

When I was growing up, I thought Premier League players were superhuman.

Like they never felt doubt.
Like they never felt nerves.

The truth is…. it’s often the opposite.

Social media won’t tell you that sometimes you step out there with no confidence. That’s normal. That’s ok!

You now have to then step out there with courage.

Confidence feels good.
Courage doesn’t.

But you do it anyway. Show courage enough times…. You build confidence.

Here’s the mindset that’s carried me for 31 years.

When it goes well:

I worked for it.
I earned it.
Well done.
Watch it back.
Get better.

When it doesn’t:

I know I prepared the best I could.
It didn’t go exactly to plan. That’s football.

But Well done.
Watch it back.
Get better.

That simple recipe gave me a special moment last night.

Leading the team out.
Playing alongside a group that fights for every ball.
Celebrates tackles.
Gives everything for the city of Sunderland.

And sharing it with supporters who never gave up, even after four tough seasons in League One.

So if you’re a young player feeling doubt…
Low confidence…
Or like you don’t believe in yourself…

You’re not alone.

Every player feels it.

Confidence isn’t something you’re given.

It’s something you build.

Bit by bit.
Day by day.
With courage.
With work.
With learning.

Anything worth building takes time.

But that’s what makes it so worthwhile!

Thank you @SunderlandAFC ❤️🤍

@olver_graham @TORQUAYTALK I was there too, absolutely perishingly cold. Was warmer whale watching in Alaska.

[Paul Mulhern @paulvmtufc]

For all @TUFC1899 and @Dag_RedFC fans who can’t make the game on Saturday, @bbcdevonsport has full live commentary but ONLY online. NOT on sounds. Please RT to let fans know @OffTheLineBlog @TUSTCOYY @TalkingTorquay @TORQUAYTALK @BakersTweet I will post links on the day.

[Michael Spicer @MrMichaelSpicer]

People think money has ruined football but the sight of a rapist dictator standing next to a corrupt football official in front of a big gold trophy at a competition bankrolled by Saudi Arabia reminds me the game still belongs to us.

@AmoneyResists What I see in these photographs is the exploitation of vulnerable people.

@BOREHAM_WOODFC Thanks for the friendly bantering with an aging TUFC season ticket holder on the coastal path today. What a great bunch of lads.

[Paul Mulhern @paulvmtufc]

For all the #yellowarmy going to @theterras v @TUFC1899 tomorrow remember they had our backs last season. So if you can afford spend some money at their ground to help them out. Programme or food etc. everything helps.

[Paul Mulhern @paulvmtufc]

I usually use this platform for @TUFC1899 but this fella was a good friend until he left my work. Would appreciate reposts etc and hopefully he’ll turn up safe and sound.

@Shayan86 Fact Check: FALSE - even with some very generous assumptions you would have to be over 50,000 years old 😀
