This is such an important piece George - had no idea about this (and presumably online forms and paperwork not the easiest thing for people with ADHD to navigate either). Well worth a read

Fascinating to spend time with Charlie Austin, discussing his ADHD diagnosis at length for the first time He’s great on players being denied access to medication, football’s neurodiversity crisis and how his diagnosis has made him a better person 🧠⚽️ inews.co.uk/sport/football…

For weeks, we have been talking to players to understand the realities of being a footballer in 2024. From family planning to the impact on partners, retirement to mental health, these are their fears and anxieties. 📝 @KatieWhyatt


Been interesting to hear the differences in life experiences and anxieties between male and female players for this piece. Thank you ⁦@DurhamWFC#wba #whufc #bcafc et al Family, injury, social media and more - the fears and anxieties of footballers nytimes.com/athletic/58880…


What’s the off-field reality of being a professional footballer? What do they worry about? How do they cope? Men’s and women’s footballers from across the leagues on the parts we don’t see: parenthood, mental health, injury, social media, finances & more nytimes.com/athletic/58880…

Steph Houghton has used her new book to describe the hurt she felt at how her England career ended and her wish that things could have been different. She is entitled to say these things, yet her comments have been met with a lack of respect and understanding. Why? @KatieWhyatt


This isn’t about whether you’d have taken Steph Houghton to the Euros or World Cup It’s about how, when someone who has given so much to women’s football says they were sad & hurting, so many are reluctant to meet her with empathy or understanding. Why? nytimes.com/athletic/59086…

What’s the formula for this sort of stuff now? Some personal news? Comunicado oficial? Just a single 🚨 emoji? Anyway: I’m so excited about joining the Athletic that I am prepared, just once, to tweet a link that brings up a giant image of my face. nytco.com/press/rory-smi…


Looking to speak for an article to Taylor Swift fans / Swifties who are a) Men's football fans b) Women's football fans c) Not football fans My DMs are open

On 3 Sept 2024 missiles struck Poltava, Ukraine, killing 59. 24hrs later Vorskla Poltava won a WCL qualifying semi-final in shirts bearing a broken heart. 'We cannot speak about women's football development, only staying alive.' @TheAthleticFC nytimes.com/athletic/58795…

Thanks @stephhoughton2 for speaking so powerfully about the struggle to gain some parity for women footballers, caring for her husband with MND, Sarina Wiegman and a tough end to her career. Steph has been through so much, and brought about so much change theguardian.com/football/2024/…

This has got me thinking… what’s the best/most random football related item you’ve ended up getting your hands on? I’ve got the weirdest collection


Today @MrTomMcDermott stood up and punched the ball away about a second before it would have landed on my face and he was booed en masse for not heading it because he was about six rows from the front. Chivalry is not dead


Stunning tribute to Alessia Russo in the Luton West Brom game

From @TheAthleticFC: Spain's Jennifer Hermoso won the Socrates Award for her humanitarian work. After Luis Rubiales forcibly kissed her after the World Cup final, she displayed great bravery and insisted it was not consensual despite enormous pressure. nyti.ms/4e3ELX8
