WHAT a week. It’s not often you can say we’ve all lived through history.
It’s rare to say that the inspiring union of humble solidarity has routed billionaires in sport. Stirringly, these last few days have demonstrated that football lovers united will never be defeated.
Of course the fight is still ongoing with many battles yet to come, but the unity displayed by everyone who genuinely cares about our game was as awe-inspiring as it was powerful, and as vital as it was beautiful to see.
How wonderful was it to witness resolve crumble from craven billionaires who were forced into a humiliating climbdown, their subsequent apologies as embarrassing as they were empty.

A fan has fallen from the box office roof outside The Emirates Stadium as thousands of Arsenal fans have been protesting against the Kroenke family, the club owners, ahead of tonight’s match against Everton.
The police and ambulance service have confirmed that the man was treated at the scene alongside a St John Ambulance crew and taken to a major trauma centre. His condition is not believed to be life-threatening.
Groups have been chanting, setting off flares and have packed the steps leading up to the stadium with raised placards which read: “Kroenke Out” and “Kroenke, thanks for nothing, time to say goodbye”.
