There was a lot of noise around this when it was released a couple of months ago. It was totally justified, it’s superb. A gripping true story that moves your emotions everywhere: despair, joy, disgust, confusion, sadness, hope. @jonathanfreedland.bsky.social‘s book is my book of the year #Booksky

I don’t really get excited about anniversary editions of albums where there’s demo after demo filling up the tracklist. However the Love Kraft 20 years reissue from Super Furry Animals is a joy. Lazer Beam b-side Colonise The Moon is bliss (No Sympathy reworked?) #SuperFurryAnimals #SFA #LoveKraft

Part architectural history and very much part social history, naturally with politics throughout, this is an excellent study of high-rise living in Britain since the Second World War by @holsmith.bsky.social #Booksky #Highrise

A vivid first hand account of the months leading up to July 1st 1916, the Battle of the Somme. The day the diarist, Captain Charlie May was killed. The impending doom of those last few days, the outcome known to the reader, are very poignant as well as the fate of those mentioned throughout #Booksky

With the caveat that there are two very creative players absent through long term injuries; this Spurs side is bereft of any craft, guile and style. It’s very difficult to pin point exactly how they set up and set out to take the game to the opposition. A difficult watch #COYS

know you have to have an unwavering belief in your abilities to be a manager at the highest level. But sometimes you’ve got to recognise when a job is not a good fit and pass on it. Hindsight maybe, but Big Ange never looked like the right man to follow Nuno at Forest, mate. Feel for him #COYS

When Qirat won the Group 1 Sussex Stakes at Goodwood it had never been seen before in a Grp 1 - 150/1. Powerful Glory in the Grp 1 Qipco Champion Sprint: “hold my beer” - 200/1 !!! @ascotracecourse.bsky.social #Horseracing #ChampionsDay #QIPCOBritishChampionsDay

Looking forward to watching Champions Day this afternoon. The Champions Stakes has everything you would ask for - the best horse in Britain, in Ireland and in France clashing. The star is in the QEII though with the return of Field Of Gold #Horseracing #QIPCOBritishChampionsDay #ChampionsDay

I’ve dipped in and out of Manic Street Preachers since 92. More out than in but when I’ve connected with them, I’ve loved them. This is an impressive piece of work from @keithcameron2.bsky.social telling the stories behind 168 MSP songs with input from Wire & Bradfield #Booksky #ManicStreetPreachers

Does everyone in Northern Ireland only call the police “peelers”? No “fuzz”, “cops”, “5-0”, “po-leese”, “pigs”, “plod”, “old bill”, “polis”, “rozzers”? #BlueLights

An epic, towering story of Calcutta (Kolkata) in the 1940’s and the Second World War. Panoramic and cinematic the novel took Ruchir Joshi 25 years to write. Took me 2 weeks to read (900 pages) I was thoroughly absorbed #Booksky #GreatEasternHotel

Sleeper at Tramshed in Cardiff on the Inbetweener tour celebrating 30 years. They were brilliant. Louise has always been a magnificent front woman and she was so engaging last night whilst she and the band, who sounded superb, put on an such an entertaining show #Sleeper #Cardiff #Inbetweener

Looking at the state of the UK this century through the lens of football. Especially reading again about the Covid lockdowns I’m sure I’ve got PTSD. I’m not talking vet-returns-from-Nam type PTSD but that time definitely left its mark. Anyway, great book #Booksky #EPL #Football #PremierLeague
