Proud to have edited the tribute edition of UNITED to celebrate the iconic Kevin Keegan. Proper team effort went into it - and a thrilling game to boot that he'd have loved.

2025. Not necessarily the year I expected, but one with a big new start. Grateful to end it in a new(ish) role producing the matchday programme at Newcastle United. 📈 (Also the year that football imploded and Oldham won an actual game at Wembley which is far more important. 🤯)

🔊 Earlier this month I left the MEN after 7 brilliant years following City around the world. From Southampton to Seville, Goodison to Green Bay, Newcastle to New York (and countless freezing nights at the CFA), it's been a privilege to write for my local paper. (Cont. 👇)

3 FA Cup finals, 2 pre-season tours, endless trophy lifts.. 🏆 A massive thanks to all the great colleagues who've helped me along, and anyone who's read my work/engaged on here. Hopefully not long before I'm back in a press box. It's been a blast. 👋

That Rico Lewis red card is at the same time never a red in a million years and also a straight red every day of the week. No intent, but can see why it's given. #mcfc

Wasn't sold on Tuchel and have seen nothing yet to change my mind... ...but it feels like people are forgetting how bad the June internationals always are. Players tired, unmotivated, poor opposition or friendly games, injuries etc. He wasn't hired for games like these.

Felt like the whole town was at Wembley yesterday, so many different shirts on show and a fair few new Latics fans created. And that's all down to Frank - he's done so much more than save a dying football club. #oafc

Spoke to Ilkay Gundogan at Fulham yesterday. He said he fully expects to be at #mcfc next season and is confident they can win the title back. Also talked De Bruyne, bicycle kicks and 'expiry dates'. manchestereveningnews.co.uk/…

Pep: "I don't have that feeling [an overhaul]. Of course new players will come. I don't want to have the [same] amount of players. Today I have 23 players under contract that's why I don't have a feeling it will come. We will see, the summer is long. Some might want to go." #mcfc

Pep on Grealish: "Was a selection. The last few weeks it was 5/6 players at home every time, no more than that. Jack has to play football every three days. It didn't happen this season or last. He needs to do it with us or another place. It's a question of Jack." #mcfc

Says he will be happy if Grealish stays. Then denies he is unhappy with him. "Don't ask me about Jack. When did I say I was unhappy. Not about personal, it's not about that. I'm the person who fought to have Jack here this season and last season. What happens is for Hugo/Txiki."

De Bruyne waves to the City fans at full time as #mcfc qualify for the Champions League. Reluctantly the centre of attention but the fans insist he keeps coming back.
