A statement on yesterday…..
Everything I said in that interview was true. However, rest assured I’m doing my best to turn things round.
I have been in a mental health clinic for the last 10 weeks, finally discharging so I could attempt to play in Belfast
I owed that to my family, in particular my daughter to see me play for what could be the last time….. I also owed it to the fans who have supported me throughout my 21 years on tour
I also owed that to World Snooker who have been amazing from day on in all this, in particular Simon Brownell and Neil Tomkins who have remained in touch regularly, even Simon paying me a visit in the clinic itself
I’m not ok, but I’m ok in that itself. I’ve been much worse in the last few months than you saw yesterday. I literally didn’t see a future in anything…..
My daughter kept me going, the therapists, staff and all the other patients were amazing and helped me through some really dark days
I see the light now that I couldn’t see before but I do now. I also know it won’t happen overnight. I’m a work in progress!!! My fight and determination on the table has always been there for ones to see. I need to show those same fighting qualities off it now for a while
Please don’t detract anything from Jordan yesterday, he’s been aware of my struggles and that can’t have been easy to play in but he handled it with grace and skill as I knew he would. Im proud to call him a friend
I hope the rest of the event is a success and I will continue my treatments going forward and then see what’s ahead
Thank you to every single message I have received on here, instagram, Facebook, text messages and WhatsApp’s, I’ve seen them all but a bit overwhelmed to reply right now. Just know that they have helped me a lot but I’m not going anywhere just yet!!!! I have so much to live for and this is only the beginning of my new journey
Also, I was not made to do any interviews, I was simply given a choice and felt I owed it to everyone to speak. The media team at WST have been incredible through all this too
Thank you all x

Roy Keane on the penalty decision:
🗣️ Roy Keane: “For me, that is not a penalty. I’m sorry, but Newcastle have been completely robbed here. Their knees collide that’s what happens in a football match when two players are competing for the ball. What exactly was Lewis Hall supposed to do? Stand still and allow the attacker to run through and score?
“There’s no obvious push, no deliberate trip, no reckless challenge. Their knees simply clatter together and Victor Munoz goes down. We’ve seen contact like that a thousand times without a penalty being given. I don’t understand how VAR looks at that and decides Newcastle should be punished.
“Newcastle had this game won. They played well enough to take all three points, defended for their lives and deserved the victory… Newcastle have been robbed of a win, while Liverpool have been handed a lifeline by the officials.”

Eddie,
Thank you for five years of amazing memories, ambition and commitment. Our whole fanbase is so proud to have had you as our manager.
So many unforgettable moments, especially that day in March 2025, when you were the man to do what so many before were unable to. So many greats have tried but you were the one. You gave us the greatest day of our lives and that is something that we will always remember you for.
Of course there are so many more, reaching the 2023 League Cup Final, Champions League nights under the lights at SJP and all of the unbelievable trips around Europe. It has been an amazing journey and we can’t thank you enough for everything.
Hope to see you again soon, once a Geordie always a Geordie!

A very very good football coach but more importantly a very very good man. Represented my football club with complete and utter class while also bringing me some of the best moments of my life!
I’ll never forget the Eddie Howe days for as long as I live!
Thank you boss!💔 #NUFC

🚨 💣 EDDIE HOWE BOMBSHELL — more details:
⚫️ The decision had nothing to do with last night’s friendly defeat, it had been in the pipeline for two weeks.
⚪️ Howe gave his full commitment at the end of the season, but has changed his mind. He is now set to take a break from football.
⚫️ Howe wanted the club to have a replacement lined up before he left. Al-Ahli’s Matthias Jessle is in advanced talks to take over.
⚪️ This is Eddie Howe's decision, the club tried to convince be him to stay but have reluctantly accepted his decision.
⚫️ Howe feels he has taken it as far as he can after nearly 5 years at the helm — the second longest serving PL manager.
♥️ No acrimony, the club love him, and think he’s done an amazing job.
😢 I’m told Eddie Howe is very emotional about the decision and the easy decision would be to stay. It’s been a very difficult decision to make. But he’s given it everything.
❌ The players hadn’t been told this morning. They are on a day off today.
🇪🇸 The squad are set to fly out to Spain for a pre-season training camp tomorrow.
⏰ This is not ideal timing as far as the club are concerned, but they are moving swiftly to try and replace Howe.

Ağlattın bizi de Cucurella…
Cucurella: “Otizmli bir oğlum var, keşke hiç param olmasaydı da oğlum sağlıklı olsaydı.
Saçlarımı o sevdiği için uzatıyorum; bir de bir an beni unutursa tanıyabilsin diye…”
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
He never said any of this, it was his mother idea to grew out his hair so she can recognize him on the field. His son is autistic, not stupid.
