Throwing in an 'obrigado' at the end as if it's not the only Portuguese word I know.
After scoring a worldy in a 3-0 win and picking up the Man of the Match award, @marksoares710 broke out the Portuguese for Corinthians fans in Brazil. What a display... on and off the pitch from the recent arrival!

New Staydia cam above the main stand coming in handy for this worldy today. And then @marksoares710 broke out the Portuguese in his post-match 🎙🇧🇷
An absolute scorcher from @marksoares710 to make it 2-0 today, captured perfectly on the @StaydiaSports live stream 🎯

The amount of non-league clubs with AI-generated mottos on their posts at the moment is ridiculous. How many 'One Club. One Goal' slogans can we take. 'One Community. One Harchester. One ounce of effort going into this.'

You could say that today is our birthday. For a long time, Corinthian Football Club were one of those that didn’t do birthdays – the history books simply tell us that we were founded in September 1882. However, we can thank @LlewWalker, a keen Corinthian-Casuals historian and President of our youth section, for alerting us to a solid date for the formation of our club. Llew undertook an exhaustive amount of original research in the writing of his 2023 book, Mr Corinthian, ostensibly a biography of Nicholas Lane Jackson, which also looks deeply into the history of both Corinthian FC and Casuals FC. In it, Walker gives compelling evidence that Corinthian Football Club was founded over the course of two meetings in two separate offices during the autumn of 1882. The first, on 13 September, was likely held at Jackson’s office as editor of the Midland Athlete, on the third floor of 17 Paternoster Square, while the second was held on 11 October at the FA’s offices at 28 Paternoster Row. It was at this second meeting that a committee was elected and the club officially founded, while the previous one had been a kind of preliminary meeting to discuss the prospect of founding a club. So you could say that 13 September was the date of our club’s conception, while 11 October is our birthday, or founding date. At the time, the press coverage of the meetings spoke simply of a new 'Wednesday football club’ being formed. The name came later, and the official club histories suggest H.A. Swepstone, a founding member and goalkeeper, suggested the name Corinthian Football Club. This year, the club turns 144 years old, and whether you choose to celebrate on 13 September or 11 October, hopefully there are many more to come!

A photo that sums up the joy of going to non-league. We all met through Casuals, became friends for life, and ended up going to Chertsey on a Tuesday night in the middle of winter for a Velocity Trophy game. Stu took a night off photographing and was in his element. Brilliant.

At Fisher FC on a rare Tuesday off for Casuals. That backdrop's insane 🌃 Also had to laugh when they did their '1, 2, 3... FISH!' at the end of their pre-match huddle. A week ago, I was at Chipstead and they did '1, 2, 3... CHIPS!' Need them to play each other 😁

Ray was a hugely influential figure on the way I look at football and a wonderful man, always open to chatting and always respectful. Greatly missed, even his jibes at my scruffy hair!
Today we remember the late, great Ray Wilkins on what would have been his 70th birthday. Rest in peace, Ray. 💙
