Arthur Labinjo-Hughes 💙
“Am I in danger with you, Dad?”
Takes a special kind of evil to torture a defenceless child to death. A six-year-old boy left wondering why nobody loved him.
I pray the two of them get no rest, in this life or the next.

being belted out from the away end doesn’t get you up for a game standing in that tunnel, then nothing ever will
#BCFC
I’ll be honest, I’ve written, posted and filmed a lot at this incredible bat crazy club of ours, but this mornings announcement is quite simply the most unbelievable story I’ve been a part of. Can’t stop laughing at it!
LETS GOOOOOO! 🇺🇸 🏈

💙 Grady Moon, born 11/11/22 💙
A gruelling, tortuous, exhausting yet incredibly euphoric experience - and I was only the supporting act!
Think I’ve found my happy abode
#BCFC
Much has been made of
#BCFC
defensive record this season, 15 goals in 17 games, the joint best in the
@SkyBetChamp
.
But it starts with the work rate of these two. A dovetailing duo who trigger the press, bully and harass defenders at every turn.
Not to be overlooked 👏
Stood there today before kick-off, marvelling at the spectacle that is a full St. Andrew’s. Tried to soak it in. Fire, fireworks, the noise of thousands crammed in. Took me back to how I remember it as a kid. Honestly, nothing like that place when it’s rammed and bouncing!
#BCFC
Can’t praise our media lads enough this evening. Always carnage these transfer announcements but all pulled together and hopefully done
@T_Deeney
and
#BCFC
justice!
Done for the day 😅
Can’t stress enough how much of a team effort these
#BCFC
transfer reveals are. Had some really nice comments but there’s a hell of a lot of work that goes on by good people at the Club - often at very short notice! We go again...
Tomorrow, we get back to what St.Andrew’s is supposed to be. Loud, proud and packed. I’ve seen the preparation and it’s going to be absolutely explosive!
This monster of ours has lay dormant for way too long. Tomorrow, she awakens. And I, for one, have never been so ready!

#SquadAnnounced
✅
13 new signings. Each with a graphic, teaser, reveal, photoshoot, TV interview, article, in-profile and follow-on social media content.
Big thank you from me, you know who you are!
#BCFC
And what an outstanding contribution from this young man. Up against the bullish Chris Martin & powerful Antoine Semenyo and went toe to toe with both. Was aggressive, tight to his man and didn’t once look out of place. Then tops it off with a goal 🔥 Congrats
@nicogordon50
Bacuna’s free kick was not an accident. Seen him stay after training to practise many times. Goes through the entire process as if it were in the middle of a competitive game, places the ball, paces back, approaches the same way, executes. Repeat.
#BCFC
Won’t go into details but the players and staff were an absolute credit today. Had a brave young supporter visit us at the training ground and it should be known how special he was made to feel. The real side of our club and what we’re all about
#BCFC
Keep calm and carry on!
A run of 3 very tough games against the league’s best and we could/should have won them all. 3 clean sheets in last 5.
Over 19,000 at St.Andrew’s tonight and the connection between supporters and players continues to thrive.
Electric evening
#BCFC
Haven’t felt that at St. Andrew’s in a while! Had a bit of everything didn’t it. Slick football, well worked goals, dogged defending, denial of a
@JBacuna07
wonder goal and an electric atmosphere to finish. The connection between fans and players took a leap forward tonight
#BCFC
Think the most impressive thing about Hollywood Bellingham tonight is just how involved he’s been. Yes, it’s San Marino but he’s been everywhere, kept it, lent it, cruyff turned it and had a couple of chances too!
Hate to say it, but we told you so 🤷🏼♂️
Big performances from this man in recent weeks. Found consistency and returned to the standards he sets himself. Aggressive, rarely beaten in the air and keeps it simple on the ground. Solid.
#BCFC
Evident to everyone just how close the players and staff are at present. Nice to see them share a moment at full time with the fans who were different class. A gritty away win to springboard us into next week and a big step forward for the working progress
#BCFC
Last word for the monster shift from the big man!
As the Gaffer said in his post match, a top professional and still an absolute handful for defenders. Pinning and winning headers for fun.
Don’t write him off just yet, there’s plenty of life in the Juke!
#BCFC
The Leicester City story of the past 12 years, from dropping into League One, to miracle Premier League winners, Champions League campaigns and now their first FA Cup triumph. Not forgetting the tragic accident involving their owner.
Could. Not. Write. It.
Fair play 👏
The glorious sight of 8 or 9 blue shirts, heads down, gritted teeth, straight line sprinting back to prevent a Burnley counter attack tells you everything you need to know about that Blues dressing room
#BCFC
Senegal Manager, Aliou Cissé, was a beast during that 02/03 Premier League season. Formed a midfield partnership with
@RobbieSavage8
and typified what that aggressive
#BCFC
side were all about.
Sent off on debut at Arsenal, later rescinded, then 5 yellows in 6 games…
A historic week for
@BCFC
comes to an end.
Kept busy by the small matter of a change of ownership, a 6-day camp in Spain, a player departure and 2 player arrivals.
Left with a new found feeling of hope and optimism, absent for so many in recent years.
To brighter days
#BCFC
That was some performance from the boys tonight! Slick football on the transition, coupled with sublime passages of play. Last 15, the entire
#BCFC
squad digging in together. Connection with fans is back and I hope I’m not getting carried away when I say, something is happening…
Really pleased to see this! Not the negative influence some assume Harlee to be. Made mistakes & regrets a few decisions over the past few years I’m sure. But always fronted up when the going got tough and didn’t deserve some of the personal abuse. Slotted back in seamlessly 🙌
Season number 6 ✅
Written off before a ball was kicked, safety assured with 3 games to spare. New Head Coach, 11 new players, training ground fire, failed takeover bid. Concludes on a day of genuine optimism that this juggernaut of ours can start motoring again.
Only

💙
A gusty, gritty, mettlesome
#BCFC
performance to take home another 3 points. Bodies on the line for the last 15 minutes. 4 wins in 7. Another set piece goal. Over 2,600 made the trip and bellowed verse and chorus around the Bet365. Fantastic days work.
If we’re going to lose a game of football, that is the way to lose 👏 An absolutely phenomenal effort from the lads who, let’s be honest, absolutely pummelled Blackburn in that second half! Can’t be too down after that, third game in 7 days and again finished the stronger

So much to like about what this group of players and staff are doing this season!
Random thought - lots was made of his signing at the time but Gaz Gardner is one of few players to emerge with an enhanced reputation this season.
If anyone cares, he does. I’ve heard it first hand.
Found another gear with those powerful, direct runs this season too.
#BCFC
Special mention for Ivan Sunjic this evening. Hunts the ball down like a man possessed but ALWAYS looks to find a team mate when he wins it back. Makes the game look so simple. Fantastic addition to the Club 🇭🇷

Sitting here reflecting on the eve of my fifth season finale
@bcfc
. Still waiting for a quiet season btw! But despite the chaos & fervour & volatility, it’s not lost on me how much of a privilege it is to be a small part of this mad Club. One day, we’ll take off again 🙌🤞
Turned into Franz for the third goal! Stepped in, lent it, popped it, clipped it, swazzed it. Described by Gary Rowett as a Rolls-Royce of a performance by BIG Kris!
#BCFC
He asked for everything, they gave everything. Exceptional work rate and will to win. The atmosphere in that dressing room has exploded.
We have more than a fighting chance because that was proper Blues tonight
#BCFC
Tell you what, Burnley looked absolutely gone at the end of that game. Love how we responded to going behind, and finished the game on top. Great entertainment watching this lot at the moment! George Hall with his first involvement 🔥 Hannibal covering every blade
#BCFC
A soldier in the trenches and a huge personality in the dressing room. This past year shouldn’t overshadow some monster moments he had in a
#BCFC
shirt. Left everything out there and it’s all you can ask of a player.
Wish you well

has been a fantastic servant to Blues and we thank him for his efforts during his time with us and wish him every success in the future.
United in grief and anguish.

supporters, players and staff rise to pay tribute to Arthur Labinjo-Hughes in the 6th minute of today’s game. Genuinely moved by this today.
Never again.
A year later than anticipated but we got there!
Massive thanks to
@BellinghamJude
and family for fantastic access and footage, all who featured, those who put the hours of work in, and finally
@BVB
, as we hand the baton on for part II 👀
Halilović. Undoubtedly talented. Calm and polite in person. Arrives with a point to prove and with a friend already in the ranks. Knows that at 24-years-old, “potential” tag has an expiry date. Looking forward to seeing what he can offer 🤞🏻
#BCFC
Made up for all the lads today. After Wednesday’s disappointment, they’ve turned up and completely dominated the game from start to finish. Some of the football 😍 Get supporters back in St Andrew’s and let the momentum build!
#BCFC
🎄Merry Christmas one and all!
Except those who sing “yam yam yam yam” when they visit St. Andrew’s. Deserve nothing for their lack of geographical knowledge.
Bielik gets booked for touching Wallace near the cornerflag. Kipre, on a yellow, trips Dembele running through and gets absolutely nothing. Words fail me sometimes.
🤯 Four years ago today I joined
#BCFC
and commentated on this win at Wolves on the same day.
As a fan, coming from a Blues family, joining the Club remains one of the proudest moments of my life.
Never a dull moment, chaotic and fantastic, but what an effing Club!
Looking forward to working with John & his staff who will be announced in the coming days. Portugal will be an important week. Will need everyone pulling together to generate the siege mentality our club thrives in. Once more unto the breach, dear friends.
#BCFC
Well, that was lively wasn’t it! 🤯 Time for a lie down. What an incredible afternoon! Delighted for John and the boys. On a day full of all every emotion, they didn’t let it affect them and got the job done. Some noise too. Trevor would have thrived in front of it I’m sure
#BCFC
Some great lads who have been with us for some time will be leaving the Club this summer. But just because the breakthrough didn’t happen at
#BCFC
, doesn’t mean they can’t go on and build careers for themselves elsewhere. No set path to success. All the best, men 👍
Always felt a mutual respect between
#BCFC
and
#SUFC
fans. Both inner city clubs from blue collar backgrounds. Both had to listen to historical gloating from neighbours. Think it could be quite a noise at 8pm tonight 😬
Jake Clarke-Salter. Had to be patient for his chance but now looks like a Rolls Royce at this level. Never in trouble, quick, lefty, doesn’t go to ground needlessly and finds passes with quality. There’s a quiet but cold ambition in him too and has improved with every loan

🗣 "It's very important to get a good start so we're happy for the three points" - Kristian Pedersen spoke to BluesTV after scoring a powerful header in Blues 1-0 victory over Brentford.

Literally cannot wait for my alarm clock to wake me up tomorrow morning. Away days with Blues are back! Time to shove all these predictions down everyone’s throat.
#BCFC
#BCFC
well worth a point this evening. Of course Watford had their spells, before our goal and after theirs. But seeing Scott Hogan running channels all night, Juninho Bacuna sprinting back to halt a counter, the young guns thriving. All encouraging signs.
P8, W5, D2 L1
Mission accomplished with two games to spare. What a phenomenal effort from Lee, his backroom staff and the players, who have completed quite the transformation!
Finish strong. Go away. Build. Get fans back in.
#BCFC
to the moon!
Certainly feels like a big three points in the context of our season doesn’t it!
Back to back home wins for the first time since October 2019.
Lots would have looked at Lee’s first four games in charge and given us no chance. 2 wins from 3 later...
COME ONNNN!!!
#BCFC
For me this was less about selling season tickets and more about reflecting who we are and what it means to be
#BCFC
. Appreciate where supporter sentiment is at the moment too.
P.S - Those pendants are exclusively a Blues thing and I won’t be told otherwise.
