"Just kill the f***ing n***er", shouted a Man City fan behind me at Anfield today. When I turned around to question him, another one a few seats down leant forward and said to me, "If you don't like it, you can f**k off". Hope you enjoyed the game, you bitter, uneducated cavemen.

Flicking through my Gareth Bale pics & I came across this from the 2018 #UCL Final. 🚫 for Salt Bae that night, unlike Qatar 4 years later.

Brilliant from @stokecity this evening, accrediting around 30 photographers for their match vs. Tottenham. Plenty of space in which to work safely, both pitchside & in the empty stands, affording coverage from all angles. Common sense prevails. 👏

@FootballCliches They can be seen most regularly from grounds like the Etihad, where we shoot from sunken ‘pits’ giving us that pitch-level view. Throw a 50mm f/1.4 lens in the mix & you’re off & racing.

I still have the match programme my Dad brought back for 14 year-old me after going to watch Colombia v England at France '98. Who'd have thought that 20 years on I'd be photographing the same fixture at the World Cup in Russia. I reckon he'd like that.

As a photographer, it's always nice to receive feedback, whether it be positive or critical, or even a combination of the two. Every now and then, though, that feedback leaves you speechless & bursting with pride...this is one of those occasions.
