First I was busy with work, then I was ill, and now it’s half term - so my presence on socials has been minimal… hoping normal service will be resumed in a week or two!

If you enjoyed season two of The Night Manager, and are interested in finding out more about Colombia (my motherland) and in particular Medellín then you could always check out my book… ♥️🇨🇴

“Splendid and terrible”, “an extraordinary journey” So writes Valeria Ancione in her review of Narcoball for none other than the Corriere dello Sport! 🇮🇹🤌🏻 ♥️☠️⚽️🇨🇴 www.corrieredellosport.it/news/libreri...

Narcoterrorism, politics, the war on drugs, extradition… they’re all back in the news with Trump’s actions in Venezuela. And they all feature in my book Narcoball. Along with the incredible intertwined story of Pablo Escobar’s lifelong obsession with football. Could be a timely read? ♥️☠️⚽️🇨🇴

Charlotte’s Web audiobook read by the author himself, E.B. White. Wow. Just wow. 10/10. No notes. Absolute perfection. Made a long, snowy car journey from Utrecht to Hove with MrsA and Little Miss A just fly by. Joyous.

Lovely to see this today, thank you My Point of Toon!

Readers of Sussex: quick reminder that the only author signed paperback copies of my book Narcoball: Love, Death & Football in Escobar’s Colombia IN THE WORLD are available to purchase at both Brighton and Hove branches of @waterstones.bsky.social - find it in the Sport section, or just ask! ♥️☠️⚽️🇨🇴

Last push this week and next to get the full, complete manuscript edited, locked and ready to be sent to print. Bit of a last minute pre-Xmas stress but will feel great when it’s all done!

So… Not a terrible XI by any stretch but… Mbappé, Salah, Raphinha and Luís Diaz all have worthy cases for inclusion if you ask me… in fact Daniel Muñoz also deserves a shout! Who do you think should have been recognised? And who definitely shouldn’t be in there?

Need a little extra xmas gift for someone (or a treat for yourself)? Look no further than Narcoball! ♥️☠️⚽️🇨🇴

Colombia vs Portugal as the final Group K game, in a Hard Rock Stadium in Miami that I’m certain will be PACKED with Colombia fans, is going to be an epic 3rd match - most likely to decide who tops the group and gets a MUCH easier route through the knockouts… HUGE. ♥️⚽️🇨🇴

The struggles of being a Colombia (and England) fan in England: Colombia’s first 2 group games both kick off at 3am, 4hrs after the England games finish. Those are gonna be some long, late, tiring nights with almost zero sleep! At least the final COL group game is a 00:30 KO!

Anyone else getting nervous about the World Cup draw tomorrow already? Who do you want, and who do you want to avoid?

A genius assist and a vital injury time goal from Luis Díaz today for Bayern. What a season Lucho is having in Munich.

Some Friday reading inspiration for you, courtesy of my best efforts to create the best worst content on TikTok 🤣

Psyching myself up for an hour watching Little Miss Writerman’s hockey training tonight in the freezing cold. At least I’ve got Dan Dan Noodles to look forward to for dinner after… 🏑🥶🧊❄️🍜😋🤤

When you’re so tired you accidentally make yourself a double strength coffee instead of your planned single shot… that’s just the universe balancing things out for you.

My interview with the 2nd biggest newspaper in Italy - La Repubblica. Hit “translate” on your browser tab if you want to read it in English! Narcoball is out now, published in Italian by 66thand2nd ♥️☠️⚽️🇨🇴 d.repubblica.it/urep/2025/11...

Fading now, 3.5hrs sleep is not enough! Feel I did well somehow to put a semi-coherent video together about what we might have learned about Colombia from their final game of 2025… Have you checked it out yet? Agree? ♥️⚽️🇨🇴

Colombia 3-0 Australia : what we learned about 🇨🇴 from their final game of 2025… I stayed up all night and got 3.5hrs sleep so you didn’t have to!

3:5hr sleep. That’s what Fitbit tells me I got, after staying up until 3:30am watching Colombia 3-0 Australia. School drop off and quick little Waitrose shop done. Now? Coffee. Sofa. Regroup.

I did end up missing last night’s game, the friendly between Colombia and New Zealand (I was actually fast asleep by the 12:30am kick off, and not even sure it was televised here in the UK), but it seems it was a decent 2-1 win and a useful chance to look at some fringe players?

Narcoball is on 🔥 in 🇮🇹 2 new reviews, one of which might be my favourite so far… m.tuttosport.com/amp/news/cal... sport.quotidiano.net/locale/calci...

Rather busy this week. In full-on edit mode, with actual deadlines and stuff. Sometimes being a writer actually does feel like a real job.

🚨New Episode⚽️ @davidarrowsmith.bsky.social talks: - His Colombian and English roots and fandom of Colombian football - His new book "Narcoball: Love, Death and Football in Escobar's Colombia" - The legacy of Andres Escobar - Colombian football in modern times bit.ly/4qUKYMQ

Need a Sunday evening or Monday morning listen? Why not check out my episode of Curva Mundial, a brilliant pod hosted by the wonderful Sal Bono, that has had some huge previous guests and is all about a fan’s love for the beautiful game… ⚽️ open.spotify.com/episode/6kNI...
