The pure vision of Ao Tanaka to intentionally deflect it in off not one but TWO opposition players, absolutely class, what a man. #LUFC

Tonight @jonmackenzie.bsky.social brought the Spectre of Pep to the city where Guardiola’s ghost looms largest, good old Manchester

I’m no expert but if I were running a football club and looking to push it to the next level I’d probably just bring in extra attacking reinforcements AND keep hold of the talented 22 year old winger who everyone loves and who still has his best years ahead of him. 🤷‍♂️ #lufc

Spent a couple of magnificent days in Edinburgh this week: watching some comedy, seeing some sights, and doing some work with an up and coming author called @ianrankin1.bsky.social. This guy’s gonna be big

Second trip to Forest in 4 days. Saturday obviously the more important, but something very sweet about being undercover instead tonight and hearing 3,000 Leeds fans having a ball as the home fans get increasingly tetchy. Wonderful scenes #lufc

BUT DOES IT HAVE A RELEGATION LOAN CLAUSE? Fair play to the lad though, worked his arse off to turn it around and has become a key part of the squad. Not saying he should be starting every single week but he’s the kind of player you definitely need when building depth. #lufc

Beautiful scenes launching The Spectre of Pep, so many great people there to celebrate what @jonmackenzie.bsky.social has accomplished. What a night! What a book! What a man!

Personally I think it’s a great idea for the government to send a terrifying alert thing just as you’ve nearly got a small child to sleep. A really great idea.

Bad news from East London where the wonderful Newham Bookshop is under threat due to a preposterous rent hike. Run by the lovely Viv Archer, who is equally at home supporting books by West Ham's footballers as she is my words on queer sex in Epping Forest. Please sign this petition if you can:

So disappointed in Infantino, always thought he was one of the good guys with football’s best interests at heart 😔

Tom Noble @tomnoble.bsky.social · 27/07/2026

THIS is the good stuff. If you care even the slightest bit about how football has evolved on the pitch over the last 20 or so years then you have to read it - yes Pep is obviously central to that, but it's about much more than just him. An incredible piece of work from @jonmackenzie.bsky.social

Tom Noble @tomnoble.bsky.social · 19/07/2026

Not sure if it was because Spain deserved it more or Argentina deserved it less, but either way the right team won

What a stupid stupid football match this has been, fair play

England really turning it on when it matters, it’s almost as if our attacking talent was our greatest asset all along

That was absolutely class, proper on your feet stuff on that final stretch for the world record. Well played Josh Kerr, heroic effort

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

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

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
