When other fans have mocked Arsenal Women for winning attendance awards & not winning major trophies, we were busy building something bigger than football Then the Champions League came home And look at us now 🤷đŸģâ€â™‚ī¸ I'm so proud of all of this, it couldn't feel more special â¤ī¸âšĒ

If I had a rupee for every time there was an "international strategic partnership" in #indianfootball I'd have enough to buy my own state level club

In my mind, Jon Jones stopped being the real champion the day the Stipe fight was announced. Tom Aspinall is the champion and he should fight somebody else. #UFC #MMA

Bad news: Hong Kong, who play India in the Asian Cup qualifiers on 10th June, are 1-0 up against a Premier League club. Good news: It's just Man United #indianfootball #BackTheBlue #BlueTigers

Interesting. Can be huge for developing football in the region. SEA clubs also have an ASEAN quota I think. India can play a major role here. A similar rule, even if it's a limited number of players, can go a long way. #indianfootball #SouthAsianFootball #SAFF

The day which all Mariners can’t forget. Mohun Bagan has won many more trophies post this but 31st May, 2015 was something else .. It marked the reincarnation of Mohun Bagan after a barren 7-8 years period. #JoyMohunBagan

Inter Kashi have the resources to go to CAS as many times as they need, so AIFF can safely pass the buck to the highest sports court and avoid any perception of favouritism towards Kashi and any extra-jurisdictional lawsuits that may nor may not result from it. #indianfootball

Whichever version of Ramayan you're doing, Hanuman is always the star of the show. Kecak dance performance at Uluwatu temple, Bali. #TravelDiary #Indonesia

Scary experience in Indonesia while travelling by ferry from Gilimanuk (Bali) to Banyuwangi (Java) The ferry had a problem and was stranded mid-sea for hours before another ship came and pushed it ashore They shook violently & sustained minor damage as they repeatedly collided

Such a dramatic decline in @indianfootball within six years. Forget World Cup, looks like we won't even play in the Asian Cup. AIFF in shambles, team has a leadership void. Need a hands-on, in-depth and ground-up overhaul like StephenConstantine did. #BackTheBlue #BlueTigers

It shouldn't be forgotten that national media, especially Hindi-language news channels, have wholesale ignored #indianfootball for decades and this is a major roadblock when it comes to popularising the sport in North India.

This is what I've been saying forever. The OCI-PIO issue goes far beyond sports, let alone #indianfootball. If govt goes for policy change to allow OCIs to play for India, expect a huge backlash from other sports and social/political orgs, including legal challenges. And by the
