Suspect you're not the only person who holds a place in their heart for Alan Shearer, Nicola. What a player!
I used to copy his celebration in the playground. That and the Nicolas Anelka butterfly.

I had his name on my shirt and wore it proudly to school on mufty days and bought all his books and memorabilia. An incredible goalscorer and a true hero to us Rovers fans!

The back page of the Mirror looks at how Everton and Liverpool could both face an FA charge for the post-match fallout in Wednesday's Premier League game at Anfield.
There's also a look at how automated offsides will be used in the FA Cup fifth round in a couple of weeks. The plan is to introduce in the Premier League later this season too.

We're still yet to hear how long Liverpool boss Arne Slot will be suspended following his post-match red card in their 2-2 Premier League draw at Everton on Wednesday.
The back page of the Daily Mail says Slot could "face a lengthy touchline ban", while the Telegraph says a "two-game ban" is being considered.
We've looked at how the process works and why an answer may not be known before Sunday's game against Wolves.
As already mentioned, Slot will be speaking from around 09:00 GMT so should give his first reaction to the situation.

It's 14 February - and you know what that means? Valentine's Day (you're welcome if I've just reminded you!).
It would be remiss of us to not jump on that fun, wouldn't it?
We want to know who your one true football love is. It could be a current player or manager at your club - or it could be someone from the past - but who is that one person you can't get out of your head.

A few things to look out for when the managers speak throughout the day.
Obviously, as ever, it is going to be an action-packed Friday with managers up and down the country speaking ahead of the weekend's action. Here's a rough agenda:
We'll also build up to Friday's game between Brighton and Chelsea, which kicks-off at 20:00 GMT.
Morning, morning!
How are you all? Hearts filled with love on this special day, I hope.
The Premier League is back. I know we had the small matter of the Merseyside derby two days ago but it is properly back after the FA Cup break.
Excited? You should be.
