After yesterday, if the women can win this one the gap is starting to look very nice for @mancity.com. Long way to go, but a good start

First book read this year is The Accidental Tour-ist by @nedboulting.bsky.social. An amusing ramble through his years as a cycling commentator. Enjoyable but always with that nagging cloud that I'm going to miss his work on ITV at the Tour De France in July. ITV's coverage was brilliant

The book that may have been the first, great cyberpunk novel. Still great today

Another discworld book, the 18th in the series. Struggled a bit with this, found the plot a bit more confused than usual from Pratchett

Started putting up the Christmas decorations the same time the draw started. Finished before a single team drawn (apart from the hosts) #GetOnWithIt #WorldCupDraw

19th book of the year
Another science fiction classic, which was adapted into a great film. And a rarity where, although there are significant differences between the two, I'm not sure which is better - the book or the film?

An old biography of Messi I found in a charity shop. Obviously out of date but interesting to look back at how Messi was viewed 13-14 years ago

Another Discwotld book, the 17th in the series. In large part, exactly what you expect from Pratchett. Funny, entertaining, with many 'what ifs' from hour world taken into another

First read this excellent book by @simonkuper.bsky.social many years ago. Re-reading it now, it's a fascinating series of snapshots of almost a bygone era. So much has changed since then that it might be as fascinating to re-vist them all today

The 16th Discworld novel. Much better than the last couple of Discworld books, a very amusing tale featuring the absurdities of many 20th music cultures

Another SF classic. One of those that amazes me how well it stands up today given that it was written in the 1950's

3 years ago (give or take a few days) I was at one of the greatest sporting events I've been at. Hoping for a similar result later today #Lionesses #WEuro2025

A decent read but doesn't really say anything new. It's essentially someone looking back and reminiscing now he's the only one left.
