@mrjamesob.bsky.social It's good for business James. It really is as simple as that. A population in fear is malleable to whatever they want. Brexit proved it. This freedom of speech straw man is further evidence. Adam, York.

Great article on Sammy Smith's pubs in the @guardian today: www.theguardian.com/news/2024/de...

Delighted these legends could contribute towards what for our money is the best pound-for-pound football coffee table book out there. Get your hardback in time for Christmas: admiralsports.com/products/50-... With less bells & whistles, the paperback is available at most good bookshops.

@watsoncomedian.bsky.social Hi Mark, hope all's well sir. Please could you follow so I can send you an Admiral book-related question? Cheers, Adam

Another day, another footballing legend posing with their copy of Admiral: 50 Years of the Replica Shirt. Still time to get your hardback via @admiral.co (admiralsports.com/products/50-...) or paperback at various, including @waterstones.bsky.social (www.waterstones.com/book/admiral...)

'Sánchez insisted he was worried about “the product itself”' ... The main problem is that football is a "product" at all.

How did a Rodgers & Hammerstein show tune weave its way into the hearts of working-class football supporters on the other side of the Atlantic? Read an extract from Kick It! The Definitive Football Mixtape by Paul Brand on @football365.bsky.social ... 👇 www.football365.com/news/stalkin...

As an inaugural post, I guess we'd better start with the holy grail of football shirt coffee table books. Limited edition & numbered hardbacks here: admiralsports.com/products/50-... Paperbacks at all good bookshops, Amazon, direct, etc. It really is a doozy.

Now listen! It's almost Christmas, and you should give consideration to this marvellous tome about the history of @admiral.co for which I wrote a chapter about Dem Double Denim Spurs! Look how I'm cuddling mine! I *know* you want in! @halcyonpublish1.bsky.social admiralsports.com/products/50-...

A lovely review of the Admiral book on @hypebeast.bsky.social Available in limited-edition, numbered hardbacks direct from Admiral or paperback at all good bookstores hypebeast.com/2024/4/admir...

Coming to terms with the fact that when I heard the name 'Noel-Williams', immediately thought of Gifton, Isiah's dad. #legacyfans #facup

If you read that FIFA 'report' into the Saudi World Cup and were sick to the back teeth, wang on the Beeb and watch Kettering v Donny. All that's still good about the football.

From start to finish, FIFA's approach to human rights standards in the 2030 and 2034 bidding processes has been a sham. And its callous disregard for workers in ignoring its own report on compensation is scandalous. Amnesty's reaction to both here: www.amnesty.org.uk/press-releas...

Excellent as ever. "For football, read society. Same thing. Always."

We haven't plugged the pod for a while but some of our favourite episodes if you're at a loose end: 📣 Pat Nevin bit.ly/411NQN6 📣 Sam Delaney (@delaneyman.bsky.social) bit.ly/3B5jYF2 📣 John Nicholson @johnnythenic.bsky.social) bit.ly/3V6tG0O 📣 Pete Davies (author of All Played Out) bit.ly/4i0Rmxt

Completely agree. We had the absolute pleasure to talk to Barry on our podcast. Could listen to the man read the phonebook (if they still existed) 📣 halcyonpublishing.co.uk/blogs/the-ha...

Lovely piece in @incommon.bsky.social on Paul Brand's new one for us, through a Saints lens. www.in-common.co.uk/2024/11/23/h... www.in-common.co.uk/2024/11/23/h...

We can absolutely vouch for Kick It! A brilliant deep dive into the best known football anthems.

The second book is “Red Balloons” by Liam Walsh. Tragically, Liam lost both his son and father in quick succession and wrote this book as a tribute to both, with football playing a central role in the story. It made me cry on 3 separate occasions and that’s not something I ever do when reading.

Ronay again on dancing with a corpse on Twitter. Sums up how a lot of us feel hence the switch. www.theguardian.com/sport/2024/n...

Essential reading by Barney Ronay on the blood on Fifa's hands (again) and the World Cup in Saudi. www.theguardian.com/football/202...
