The bar may well be a low one but Andor is easily the best #StarWars tv show. It’s great and the second series 3 episode opener retains the politics, the action and even some laughs. We know where this ends through Rogue One but that destination doesn’t detract from the journey #Andor #Disney+

Disappointing news that today’s Sportinglife racing podcast will be the last weekly one. It was hands down for me, the most entertaining racing podcast in a very crowded market @sportingliferacing.bsky.social #Timeform #podcast #Horseracing #Racing

I know Richarlison during his time at Spurs has never really shown anything more than useless, but that really was some header #COYS

That is some performance from Haiti Couleurs. Jumped for fun from the front but he looks a proper horse. Rebecca Curtis and Sean Bowen do it for Wales at Fairyhouse #IrishGrandNational #Horseracing

A TA’s 7 month tour of Iraq post-invasion in 2006 isn’t, on the face of it, a subject that you would think would lend itself to being one of the funniest books I’ve read. But Owain Mulligan has brilliantly written this account of his posting and it’s absolutely hilarious. Poignant too #Booksky

What a result! If a win tonight was daring to dream, a clean sheet away from home was a plot twist no one saw coming. Onto the semis #COYS

It’s a huge ask for Spurs tonight. Especially trying to turn on a good performance when asked after serving up continued dross in the Premier League. But, please Tottenham, at least turn up in a big game this evening. Struggling to remember when they last did that when they really needed to #COYS

Field Of Gold is gorgeous. Imagine he’s now jumped to the head of the 2000G’s market. That looked “wow” #Craven #Newmarket #2000Guineas #Horseracing

A whistleblower’s tale for our times. It’s no revelation that the top brass at Facebook are, or were as some have now gone, ghastly people but that doesn’t dampen the feelings of revulsion reading about them. Easy to say the author was part of it all but she’s provided a service writing it #Booksky

My favourite book of 2025 so far. @samwetherell.bsky.social writes about what happens when a city outlasts the historical forces and economic factors that built its dominance and made it rich. Obsolescence. Liverpool’s history acts as a prism from which to view modern Britain. A great read #booksky

The Grand National isn’t anything like it once was, it’s measurably safer now which is paramount, but it’s still a spectacle that’s unique in the sport. The only change I would like to see reversed is a return to 40 runners. Hewick, Geangeclare West, Minella Cocooner & Meetingofthewaters for me

This Sunday will be the pinnacle in “Dr Tottenham”. Should Southampton win they haul themselves above Derby’s record low points total for a PL season. It’s a given, isn’t it? #COYS

I think that actually counts as a shot on target. 65 minutes! #COYS

The escape from the bank in Heat is still my favourite scene I’ve seen in a cinema. It was so loud with gunfire coming from everywhere. Saw it in Liverpool, early 1996, and I think it remains my number 1 ‘90’s movie. Al & Bob made headlines but I was a “Chris” fan. Thanks, Val #RIP #ValKilmer #Heat

Christian Romero was sent off for exactly that type of challenge last season against Chelsea. Which is totally irrelevant but that red card still lives in my head rent free #Tarkowski #LIVEVE #COYS

Do Goalhanger podcasts have room for another history show? They do when it’s @davidolusoga.bsky.social teaming up with @sarahchurchwell.bsky.social. Kicking off @throughtimepod.bsky.social with the Black Tom island explosion from the First World War. I am so here for this! #JourneyThroughTime

This new book from @themodernist.bsky.social about the pioneering Penarth architect practice, Hird & Brooks. Very special to me as it’s where my dad worked from 1963 to 1990 and he was heavily involved in the cabins that feature. His reflections start on p44. A great read #booksky

@richardosman1.bsky.social on this week’s Q&A: “Never ever ever have tv programmes about stand-up comedians or writers because then you have to try and make them sound funny. And it’s impossible”. I’ll see your comment but raise you “Hacks”. The exception that proves the rule?

Finished Paradise on Disney+ today. Loved it. Cracking series that ended concluding the plot but setting up where series 2 will go. Seasons take so long to make these days, cliffhangers are infuriating. The score by Siddhartha Khosla is stunning too #Paradise #Disneyplus #Disney

4 days after Sasha & Digweed in Bristol and its @petshopboys.co.uk at Cardiff Castle. Tail end of July is stacked. Saw PSB Dreamworld tour in Cardiff in 2022 delayed from 2020. It’s one of my favourite gigs of recent times so cannot wait to see it again #PetShopBoys #Dreamworld #Cardiff #livemusic

Whilst one man can never be responsible for winning a war, a war can be lost if a man doesn’t take the courses of action or makes the decisions he sees as required. David Lloyd George took the Great War by the scruff of the neck and was that man. @damiancollins.bsky.social book is superb #booksky

Come for Roberto Calvi, stay for Opus Dei, Ali Ağca, Solidarity and all the other pies the Catholic Church has been fingers deep in. It can be a jarring read at times but I think that stems from being translated from the original French. It’s an engrossing book whose topic is so vast #Booksky

Already looking forward to this Sunday session. I’ll be riding that nostalgia train back 30 years! Even though there probably won’t be a classic dropped throughout the set #Sasha #Digweed #Bristol #B2B

I doubt there was a single person interested in football who didn’t see this, all too predictable, outcome. But yet again from Spurs it’s another big game where they haven’t laid a glove on the opponents. Not a shot on target. Not just lost the second leg but hammered. Dominated #COYS

Even in the darkest days of the 80’s (not ‘88) and the 90’s (not ‘94) have I felt as pessimistic before a tournament as this one. Even when we were Wooden Spoon favourites in the old 5 Nations I’d refuse to believe it before a ball was kicked. #Wales #SixNations #6Nations #Rugby

Sad to hear of the death of John Hales. Those striking yellow and red silks were carried by some true greats over the past 30 years, usually a grey. None greater than One Man. RIP #Horseracing #JohnHales #RIP #Horse #Racing

This is a great read if you were there in the 90’s and a deep dive into the Welsh musical explosion in that glorious decade if you were not. It’s focus is rich across the plethora of talent Wales offered up and not just a narrow narrative of the big 2 or 3 bands #Booksky #Books #InternationalVelvet
