You know, I was there in Istanbul, I was there in Madrid. I was in Qatar, I was there last season at the trophy lift and when it was won. I was even there when it was lifted during Covid. I’ve pretty much seen Liverpool lift the lot.
But yesterday was something else.
I didn’t cry at Charlottes Web or Watership Down, but tears were shed yesterday.
And that’s the thing that non-league can do. It can give you times that mean just as much, if not more, than your ‘big’ team winning a trophy. It gives you a true connection and sense of belonging that you don’t get anymore.
If you’ve never been bothered by non-league then honestly, try it. If you’re a normal human being and you feel that disconnect with football, go to your local club. See it for what it is.
You will make memories that’ll last a lifetime.
So this is exciting news to share.

Did you know that astronaut Colonel Timothy L. Kopra chose the album Ocean Rain as his choice to take to the International Space Station? Ian McCulloch said, "What an honour. Now it's official. We are the coolest band in the universe. As a kid, I dreamt of being an astronaut, and now in a way, it feels like I'm fulfilling that dream. I cannot wait to hear from Tim what it's like to listen to 'The Killing Moon' in the actual glow of the moon.”

When “ Hey Jude” became a family letter.
At the debut of "Man on the Run", Paul McCartney didn’t chase applause. He honored Julian with the song that once healed a child. Sean, Dhani, Zak, James, and Ringo stood witness. For a moment, The Beatles weren’t history. They were family
