When you've written non-fiction all your life it is a huge leap to writing something that is 100% from your own head. Self-publishing a novel makes me feel vulnerable and exposed and I can't be 100% confident in what I've produced. So comments like these are lovely thesquareball.net/shop/days-of...

Thanks @btngnrtn.bsky.social and amazing work on the cover. This is a hugely personal project, but one I hope will resonate with Leeds fans of all stripes. Thanks for the support from all who have bought it so far ✊️#lufc

Some news: You've read all the facts about Leeds United you will ever need to know, now read the fiction. I've written a coming-of-age novel about male friendship rooted in football & counterculture. It's called 'Days of Treacle'.

Phil Collins update: I’m hearing the man himself was in town today for @austriasalzburg.bsky.social’s 4-1 friendly win over LASK Amateure #svas

What's holding up #LUFC's planning application to expand Elland Road? I got into the documents to get into the problems:

If Red Bull GmbH are going to use my football club to advertise their brand, I’m sure as hell going to talk about what else they get up to. #lufc

Spütog! To high-flying Lustenau, famous for its embroidery and home to a new stadium development @austriasalzburg.bsky.social see as a potential case study for their own. Kickoff 13:30 UK 💜🤍 #svas #ligazwa

The German Football League (DFL), which operates the #Bundesliga, and German Football Federation (DFB) have expressed their support for football fans engaged in nationwide protests against proposed new stadium security measures ➡️ p.dw.com/p/542R9

Should be required reading for #lufc fans.

Brilliant writing

Essential #lufc

The Devil Inside While anxiety exists over what the future may bring, looming large over our football club is a brand that already overshadows and undermines much of what #LUFC is, and the great work that it does. by @btngnrtn.bsky.social

Why would Red Bull’s Austrian TV channel get so vexed by an American mayoral election? Because their side lost. "And 24 years after the Islamist terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center, a Muslim could become mayor of the US metropolis of New York for the first time." #lufc

SV Stripfing declares withdrawal from 2. Liga with immediate effect after just 12 games. An embarrassment for the Bundesliga's licensing process, it's expected all results relating to the 13th-placed club will now be annulled. #svas

Relegated and near-bankrupt, @austriasalzburg.bsky.social's final 2. Liga game in 2016 was at Kapfenberger. "Today is not the end of the world. We’ll be back, no question." Tonight they're in Kapfenberg stronger than ever 💜 #svas

You were spared @austriasalzburg.bsky.social’s 4-0 defeat at Admira Wacker last weekend cos I was at @warringtonruncorn.com. Very good it was too. The gig that is. #svas

On Friday, this @grahamsmyth.bsky.social piece pictured Lucas Radebe visiting a primary school in front of the message “No Room For Racism” to speak about community and diversity while wearing a Leeds United training top bearing the Red Bull logo. #lufc

I wrote about why this Labour government needs to urgently U-turn on its immigration strategy and choose humanity over hate for @labouroutlook.bsky.social.

20 years ago today, @austriasalzburg.bsky.social was refounded. Two fans secretly registered the club's traditional title SV Austria Salzburg with the FA. "We wanted to protect the name from Red Bull." #svas www.krone.at/3920352

Heimspiel! @austriasalzburg.bsky.social hope to put some points between them and the bottom three today as Hertha Wels visit Maxglan, kick off 13:30 UK #svas

@mjslater.bsky.social Maybe fills a little gap on the “acquire more clubs” slide in the pitch doc you reported on the other week? #lufc

After brutally-blown leads against Liefering and St Pölten, @austriasalzburg.bsky.social go to bottom-of-the table Bregenz. But for their -3pts start, the Vorarlbergers' four draws would be enough to place them above the 2. Liga relegation zone. Kick off 5pm UK #svas

Went in here 99/00ish, bought a pint (probably Fosters), turned around and the owner pulled the plug on the DJ and yelled RIGHT, YOU’VE ALL HAD YOUR FUN NOW FUCK OFF

In the late 19th century, millions of migrants left Germany as a result of religious persecution, economic hardship, and political uncertainty. Among them was Nikolaus Schrod, a cabinet maker from Frankfurt who - along with his wife Bina - moved to London to start a new life in the 1850s. 1/3
