Fortunate to see The Lathums again last night - their new album is fantastic and they were bang on form back in Manchester. If you are going tonight, enjoy!

Delighted that the deal with Scunthorpe and FC100,000 (MyFootballClub) has now collapsed. The board has rightly backtracked following the massive backlash from #Iron fans and sponsors in the last 24 hours. It just shows what a fanbase United together can do. #UTI

I'm probably a bit biased as I have known Tom Cairney since he was ten, growing up together in the same village, but I think he's been excellent as the guest on #MNF tonight.

Articulate, insightful, and engaging. Has a bright future in punditry post-football 🙌

Don’t like calling for managers to be sacked but been in the away end at Goodison Park tonight and it’s really hard to see how Gary O’Neill survives. That was appalling. #wwfc

Was lucky enough to speak at the NCTJ’s Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Conference today. The work being done by the NCTJ & partners to break down barriers in journalism is inspiring and really important. Fantastic to speak with so many talented young journalists. The future is bright 🙌

It was another memorable night with The Courteeners as they made their Co-op Live debut.

'A triumphant celebration of a band that has grown and evolved without ever losing touch with the city and fans that made them.' - my review for the MEN www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/whats-on/mus...
