Few things bring the world together quite like laughing at Cristiano Ronaldo. Truly warms the heart

One of THE truly great music books of the past decade. Sheffield has got the book it deserves. Take a bow @danieldylanwray.bsky.social 🙏

Fair play Erling Haaland you mad freak of nature

Say what you like about the issues with this World Cup but on the pitch it has served up some incredible drama/absolute madness

As if this game wasn’t painful enough they had to start showing John Terry

Should have gone to bed about an hour ago but instead I WITNESSED HISTORY #aufwiedersehen

Beren mate please, I’m just trying to enjoy my Saturday night here, could at least have waited till tomorrow morning to drop this. #lufc

Few things break my heart like seeing Marcelo Bielsa upset. #lufc

One of the most England-in-the-group-stage-of-a-major-tournament games I’ve ever witnessed

England in that second half looked like a team being led by a genuinely elite level manager

And THAT is why 0-0 can sometimes be one of the greatest scorelines in football, fair play Cape Verde

ALL CURAÇAO AREN’T WE

The greatest. RIP David Hockney.

The still in a dream tour kicks off on Monday, as @simonreynolds.bsky.social heads around the country to talk all things shoegaze. Special guests include @mikiberenyi.bsky.social, Rudy Tambala of A.R. Kane, and @mrsimonraymonde.bsky.social of @cocteauofficial.bsky.social 🎟️ geni.us/StillInADream

I appreciate Dominic Calvert-Lewin is probably still disappointed about missing out on the England squad but personally I’d choose mucking about on Ilkley Moor with Lucas for an afternoon over going to the World Cup, no question. #lufc

Lovely, lovely stuff. #lufc

Join @danieldylanwray.bsky.social on a seven decade journey through the sounds of one of the UK's most unique and creative cities... Groovy, Laidback and Nasty, Dan's hugely entertaining history of music in Sheffield, is out now in audiobook, narrated by the man himself. 🎧 geni.us/GroovyLaidba...

Pep leaving City? Boy does @jonmackenzie.bsky.social have the book for these times. IT’S ALMOST LIKE WE PLANNED IT geni.us/TheSpectreOf...

HUGE news. @forwardrussia.bsky.social were always the benchmark for me as a teenager in a band in West Yorkshire in 2006 and GMAW is still an all-timer. Get me to the Brudenell, I need to hear that opening synth of Thirteen

We brought South Yorkshire to @thesociallondon.bsky.social with Groovy, Laidback and Nasty. Brilliant chat between @danieldylanwray.bsky.social and guest host Ben Beaumont-Thomas, top tunes from DJs Zaereo, Toddla T and 96 Back, and all books sold out from @realmagicbooks.bsky.social. Perfect.

Get this man some coffee and cake RIGHT NOW. #lufc

Been such a joy working with @danieldylanwray.bsky.social over the last few years on his book, and last night’s huge event was both a fitting celebration of publication day and of Sheffield’s vast music history. Incredible to see hundreds of the city’s finest out in force to show their support 🙏

Would buy each and every one of our squad a pint. All grafters, giving everything for the shirt every week, and all seem dead sound. Safety all but achieved now and they - and Farke - completely deserve it. Just a great time to be a Leeds fan. #lufc

The back heel from DCL. The precision cross. Okafor’s tidy finish. What a superb little goal this was. #lufc

Very happy to have an extract from my forthcoming book in today’s Guardian.They’ve ran with the early days of Arctic Monkeys - featuring tribal scenes, cattiness, bloody riots and the preposterous “New Yorkshire” movement. Out May 7 via @whiterabbitbks.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/music/2026/a...

As someone who likes to pretend I know about football tactics, @jonmackenzie.bsky.social has always been the man to follow so I can steal all his ideas. I'm therefore delighted he's agreed to let me be his publisher, and his book on Pep is full of all the wisdom, analysis and noticing you'd expect

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/TheSpectreOf...

Brilliant first event for @danieldylanwray.bsky.social and Groovy, Laidback and Nasty last night, with big thanks to the Heath Bookshop, host Lias Saoudi and all who came along. And it’s just the start… geni.us/GroovyLaidba...

Really enjoyed this perfectly weighted ball from our Brenden, lovely stuff #lufc

Just want to buy Georgi Rutter a load of pints #lufc

At the end of the day I just fucking love Leeds United. #lufc

Yet another reason to love Dominic Calvert-Lewin and his magnificent magnificent hair. #lufc

Classic Leeds United fan experience: I feel euphoric but also know that if we mess it up from here this image will haunt my dreams for the next few decades #lufc

Friday night was one for the history books. The kind of event you only get with someone like @reversediorama.bsky.social

We call it confusion in the best way possible. Idlewild in Nottingham last night, another reminder why they’ll always be up there as one of my favourite bands of the last 30 years

WR’s own Lee Brackstone will be on BBC 6 Music in the morning with Nemone, discussing the great man. #WEATHERALL

Leeds United how do you make me feel this way (ecstatic/relieved/angry/on the brink of death) #lufc

Calvert-Lewin up top and Bielsa managing the opposition, safe to say this is the most emotionally invested I’ll ever be in an England friendly. #lufc

I would still follow Marcelo Bielsa to the ends of the earth. #lufc

The inescapable urge to pack it all in and become one of David Byrne’s backing dancers

Here’s @danieldylanwray.bsky.social with an early copy of his book Groovy, Laidback & Nasty. With over 150 original interviews, it's the first ever truly definitive history of Sheffield music and the city’s incredible array of artists, movements and moments. Out 7 May: geni.us/GroovyLaidba...

Says it all about that refereeing performance (and City’s tactics) when even Farke is losing his head. Can’t blame him, get into them Daniel lad. #lufc

In exactly two months, 26 April, I'll be running the London Marathon again. I'm very excited for it, my knees are not. I’ll be running for a cause very close to my heart, Dementia UK, in memory of my Grandad Dave, and any sponsorship would be HUGELY appreciated www.justgiving.com/page/thomas-...

I’m old enough to remember when Spurs were part of the ‘European Super League’ plan

Anton Stach that is magnificent brother. #lufc

These are two superb books (with superb covers) by two great people. Have loved working with @adellestripe.bsky.social and @mrrichardnorris.bsky.social over the last few years, cheers to you both 👊

Good morning. #lufc

Delighted to announce I can actually enjoy my weekend now, thank you Leeds United. #lufc

Announcing the new book from one of the greatest music writers of his generation, @simonreynolds.bsky.social Still in a Dream, out this June, is the definitive story of the slackers and shoegazers who reinvented rock, as the music they created reverberated through the late 80s into the early 90s.
