Nothing hits on holiday like Herron’s horses

This is such sad news. Sareeta was incredibly talented and a brilliant person to work with, and she always pushed to make the industry a better and more inclusive place

Ain’t no timeline meltdown quite like an ‘Aaronson’s starting’ timeline meltdown. #lufc

168 SONGS OF HATRED AND FAILURE 📍 Earth, Hackney 🗓️ 5.9.2025 James Dean Bradfield and Nicky Wire of Manic Street Preachers, performing, signing, and in conversation with author @keithcameron2.bsky.social

Last night I got to watch James Dean Bradfield playing Spectators of Suicide for soundcheck in a completely empty Earth theatre and it was something that will stay with me for a very very long time

The life-changing magic of sitting in a fantastic pub on your own with a lovely pint and just going on your phone for a bit

Book 35 was The Absence by Budgie. Really enjoyed this. A very honest look at himself that never feels self indulgent (& has some great tour tales). Thoroughly recommended (plus he is the BEST drummer so there’s that too). @whiterabbitbks.bsky.social @tomnoble.bsky.social

Shame we just couldn’t quite secure the extra winger and striker Farke wanted. Still, good news on loaning out Ramazani and releasing Bamford, smart business 👍 #lufc

Praying, begging for the transfer window to close so I don't have to hear any more minute-by-minute updates on whether Isak is going to Liverpool or not, I simply do not care

The fierce new paperback cover of Base Notes has just landed courtesy of @whiterabbitbks.bsky.social -- and is now available to preorder at your local independent bookshop. If you squint, you’ll see ‘Clive Loves Dawn’ written on the number plate… store.whiterabbitbooks.co.uk/products/bas...

Will always have a soft spot for Patrick Bamford. A proper Bielsa era cornerstone, always put a huge shift in and on his day was genuinely sublime. Yes he could be frustrating occasionally, but with a bit more luck with injuries he could have had 100+ goals for us. Love him. #lufc

Happy birthday to my latest, A PARTICULARLY NASTY CASE, out today wherever you buy or steal books from.

UP THE MARINERS

That was so limp it was genuinely quite funny, never been more nailed on that a team were losing a shootout. #lufc

Apart from a small number of honourable exceptions, Leeds United and goalkeepers are an absolutely disgusting combination. #lufc

Top strike partnership of Cooper and Popey in action last night. Cheers to everyone who came down to celebrate @jrcooper26.bsky.social’s book on #lufc and especially to top quizmaster Adam Pope. Read the book and you might one day score 100%…

Ernest Hemingway was once challenged to come up with the happiest story possible in just six words. Here’s what he wrote: ‘Pint of Timothy Taylor’s Landlord please’

Muchos gracias to @tomnoble.bsky.social and the gaffer @leebrackstone.bsky.social @whiterabbitbks.bsky.social for this magesterial @keithcameron2.bsky.social tome. One of NME's final cohort of great writers, on the band whose profund influence on YoungStu in the 90's continues to resonate even now.

Quiz night tomorrow at 7pm at Waterstones with very special guest host Adam Pope, refreshments and prizes on offer, come and test your #lufc knowledge! Teams of 4/5 encouraged but not essential. Should be fun & would be great to see people there. www.waterstones.com/events/the-u...

Just want to buy Ao Tanaka a pint and give him a big hug #lufc

Dominating possession against a lower-mid table team, looking much the better side, crafting a few nice openings but struggling to quite make that killer breakthrough… I’ll take that, it all worked out fine whenever we said these things last season. #lufc

If you think you know all the Casper Answergrens then join us for @jrcooper26.bsky.social's ultimate #LUFC quiz, with guest host Adam Pope, this Wednesday at Waterstones Leeds. Come along, test your knowledge, get a signed book and celebrate tonight's 3 points (🤞) www.waterstones.com/events/the-u...

Such pure Partridge energy

Fair play #lufc, getting me back onside with the Calvert-Lewin signing by putting him in an absolutely fantastic shirt. Very smart move

Massive congratulations to @jrcooper26.bsky.social 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!

Replacing 31-year-old permanently injured England striker Patrick Bamford with 28-year-old permanently injured England striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin, what could possibly go wrong #lufc

THANKS THE LITERARY REVIEW YOU’VE ALWAYS BEEN MY FAVOURITE (Out 28th August)

This entire series has been absolutely phenomenal, test cricket I love you with all my heart

Imagine not liking cricket

New book announcement! LYNCHIAN: THE SPELL OF DAVID LYNCH, an exploration into why his work has such a profound impact on us. Out in November, pre-order link in bio, some details in my newsletter... It is happening again!

Two weeks to go until release date... all the stats on last season's title win, the Bielsa era, why Don Revie's Leeds were the best side in England & Europe... and the only player whose name you can spell without using the top row of a QWERTY keyboard. #lufc www.amazon.co.uk/As-Leeds-Go-... #lufc

My son Jude is only three months old but has already seen Leeds get promoted and now England win a major tournament. He’s in for a rude awakening when he eventually learns how miserable it usually is being a football fan

It’s here… and it’s perfect. @jrcooper26.bsky.social’s alternative history of the mighty #lufc, out 14 August. I know what a huge labour of love it’s been for Jonny, so if you’re a Leeds fan (or just someone who loves mad stats) please get behind him and give it a read. geni.us/AsLeedsGoMar...

What I like about this England run to the final is that it’s totally straightforward and calm and in no way stressful at all

They might still go through obviously but christ that’s harsh on Italy, got to say they’ve been brilliant

Excellent news just in... Budgie is now a Sunday Times bestseller, and his memoir THE ABSENCE will be at No.5 in the charts this weekend! Huge thanks to all the readers, bookshops and record stores who have supported this book - and congratulations Budgie 🙏

Getting an ageing Jonny Howson back as u21s coach is exactly the kind of thing I’d have done on Football Manager 2011, so for that reason I fully support this news. #lufc

This is such a chilling mental image

The most magnificently terrible shootout I’ve ever seen, I love it

At 2-0 down and looking desperate, as a trio Chloe Kelly, Michelle Agyemang and Beth Mead have brought the perfect game changing mix of class and chaos. Superb subs
