Some news: I've written a book about how football has evolved over the last fifteen years or so. It's called The Spectre of Pep: How Guardiola haunts modern football tactics. It's out in August and you can pre-order it right now from this link: geni.us/TheSpectreOfPep

2 weeks until the London Marathon, so sharing this here on the off chance anyone following me might fancy throwing some coins in my sponsorship bucket. I’m running for Dementia UK in memory of my Grandad Dave, so anything you can spare would mean a lot 🙏 justgiving.com/page/thomas-n…

Massive congratulations to @JRCooper26 on the launch of his first book on the mighty #lufc today, packed with brilliant/mad stories and stats. He's been such a top bloke to work with and deserves every success with it. Cheers Jonny! geni.us/AsLeedsGoMarchingOn

Two whole months…amazing. Thankful as ever. Might have a glass of something to toast all the readers out there! 🙏

RESIDENT BOOK OF THE YEAR JOEL GION 'In The Jingle Jangle Jungle' White Rabbit 📙 Resident Exclusive : Signed book signed vintage DIG! postcard Exclusive Zine belly band bookmark Pick up your copy here : resident-music.com/productde… This book is attention-absorbingly brilliant. Fellow record shop staffer Joel documents the carnivalesque experiences of the BJM in a beautiful, hilarious, and transfixing stream-of-consciousness style from a drug-addled mind, slyly slipping grand notions of the universe into stories of clip-clopping shoes, or bin-diving for burgers. “A riotous, yet strangely graceful walk through a life of deep bohemian adventure.” - The Quietus

THIS should have been the last thing guardian posted on here

This is going to be an essential read on the modern music landscape and some of its most important and influential players. And nice to finally, officially welcome @liaminscoejones to WR 🤝

Fourth week in the Sunday Times top ten for Midnight and Blue… 🙏🥃🙏

My book, ‘States of Play’, is out now. It is really a modern history of football, and how it has been transformed by three main forces: geopolitics, especially autocratic states; a very western capitalism; the game’s own greed and failures of authority geni.us/StatesOfPlay

This is out next week and if you care at all about who holds the power in football these days and the grim direction the sport has been going in, it’s a must read - and if you don’t care about those things, you really should. @MiguelDelaney has written a proper future classic

Always good to see books on tv, especially one as great as this and extra especially when it also includes @WhittyAuthor looking all cool and atmospheric in a big forest. I really do love this book, thank you #betweenthecovers for making sure loads more people discover it

It’s tonight!!!

Going to see The Maccabees again next summer 🫀🫂😭
