Since the Manchester derby, I've been thinking about #Amad, #Amorim, #Garnacho and especially #Rashford

Amorim was bailed out by Amad
And he needs to think a bit harder before bad-mouthing his players in public

Ashes to Ashworth
On and off the field, United had a weekend to forget. And Jim Ratcliffe is part of the problem

There isn't an award for the Gig Review of the Year, sadly, but if there was, this one would be heading for the shortlist
So I wrote a long piece about Charli XCX and Brat and the concert the other night - "The whole thing treads that line between minimal and maximal in a way that is so Charli – stripped down to basics, but every single one of those basics working its arse off." www.newstatesman.com/culture/musi...
Charli XCX’s victory lap
A recent London show proved Brat is the album of the year, and she is the artist of the moment. Am I too old to join in?

This piece, from the Saturday magazine @theguardian.com, is the kind of thing you want all your friends to read. It's vivid, touching, funny, blazingly honest and (as far as I know) highly original
A very personal story today from me and Lexy Topping about friendship across the parenting divide. What happens when kids arrive for one of you and not the other www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...
They were best mates. Then one had a baby, while the other struggled. Two brutally honest takes on what happens when motherhood affects friendship
They both had something the other wanted. Could their relationship survive?

The #ManUnited manager with the best win record of all time is ... Ruud #vanNistelrooy. I went to his final game and then tried to sum up a stint that was short but sweet

Ruud can still provide a great finish
The Van Nistelrooy interregnum was short but sweet
