🚨🗣️NEW: Eden Hazard on the Doku controversy: ‘A World Cup comes every four years. Your first child comes once’
“People are acting like Doku is abandoning his country. For what? To witness the birth of his first child? Football has lost its mind. A World Cup comes every four years. Your first child comes once. There will be another tournament, another trophy, another headline. There will never be another first breath from your son.
Some journalists call it ‘disgusting.’ No, what’s disgusting is a world where a player is praised for missing his child’s birth but criticized for being a father. We celebrate loyalty to a badge and mock loyalty to blood. That’s backwards.
You don’t postpone the first cry of your son because a tournament is on. You don’t negotiate with life the way you negotiate with a defender. This is not a friendly. This is not a game you can replay.
Your first child… bringing them into this world… it is a blessing. It only happens once. Everything else — the jersey, the crowd, the cameras — that is noise.
Important noise, yes. But still noise.
A man who turns his back on that moment to chase another trophy is not strong. He is empty. I have lifted everything there is to lift in this game. I know what stays when the final whistle blows and the stadium goes dark. It is not the medal. It is the eyes that look at you like you are their entire world.
Let the boy go home. Let him hold his wife’s hand when it matters. The World Cup will still be here in four years. His son’s first breath will not wait for anyone.
Football teaches you to fight. Fatherhood teaches you why you fight. Some people confuse the two. That is their problem, not Doku’s.”

It’s mad to think that six seasons ago we were in Europe, while Aston Villa only stayed up because of one of the worst decisions ever. Now Aston Villa are second, while we’re on track to set the worst points record in Premier League history. FOSUN have destroyed this club. #wwfc
This man would have been 29 today.
His first birthday since his untimely and sad death.
An amazing player who really brought us off our feet and made us believe again. Wore the badge with pride and gave us all and me personally some of the very best days supporting our great club.
Gone but never forgotten. Happy heavenly birthday legend ❤️🕊️
"People want to get offended on behalf of supporters of other teams."
"Why are other football fans annoyed??"
Alex Crook speaks on the fan reaction to Rob Edwards' move to Wolves 🐺
@dinglette1972 To be fair, I dont mind this appointment. Firstly, he wants the job, secondly FL did a decent job at Chelsea too. Did a decent job with Luton to even get them to the prem and is doing a good job currently at Middlesbrough
