This revealing book by @guttmannaviva.bsky.social is an insightful examination of how much Mossad relied on European intelligence, specifically Club de Berne, to operate its covert #WrathOfGod assassinations. It’s superb. Read both this and The Revolutionists also released last year #Booksky

This a monumentally poor side and squad who are devoid of coaching, a vision and style from a manager who is only taking these players and club in one direction. I can’t see the case for it turning round under Frank. Don’t let this drag on #COYS

They didn’t go quick but that gives a payoff of a finish like that. A cracking horse race #KingGeorge #Kempton #TheJukeboxMan #HarryRedknapp #Horseracing

Just finished watching this. Loved it in ‘95, when it was on ITV, I think on Sunday evenings. The extra episode is a welcome addition. Watching it all again brought home to me what a sad loss George’s death was, now 24 years ago #TheBeatles #BeatlesAnthology #Disney+

Recently finished this. A worthy winner of the Booker Prize 2025 (not that I’ve read the other nominees). The fall and rise and fall of a Hungarian emigrant in England. Told with austere prose, episodically, following the existence of a man’s life and what factors pull it in what directions #Booksky

Who else wants to score against Spurs this week by shooting from just outside the box? How has Frank not made closing that down a priority after last Sunday and PSG? #COYS

Radiohead, O2, 25/11/25 - The last post

Fingers crossed this run of European residencies will kickstart their alchemy to create something new. A feeling though that this is a lap of honour they’re on. Victorious swan song. 2026 I suspect will hold the answer #Radiohead #O2

They have always sung to my very soul, burrowed deep into the marrow of my bones. For 30 years now their music has soared and connected with me like no other band ever has. #Radiohead #O2 #Separator #London

Sit Down. Stand Up. A song title that perfectly encapsulates my evening sitting in an aisle seat. Every song people were up to either the bar or toilet. Couldn’t spoil what was an incredible evening last night in the O2 #Radiohead #O2 #SitDownStandUp #London
