NEW: If you could ask Leicester City Football Club one question, what would it be? ✍️ @davidbevan.bsky.social @iainw198.bsky.social @jamesknight517.bsky.social @helsy33.bsky.social #LCFC

Nine years since I called my book chapter about Jeffrey Schlupp “The Future of the Left” and now he’s starting a Champions League knockout game away at Bayern Munich First time I’ve thought maybe I was right after all (although in reality it was just to get a @shitrock.bsky.social reference in)

NEW: Manchester United 2 Leicester City 1: Ticket prices and terrible decisions As Leicester go out of the cup, the match report looks at: 😴 Magic of the cup? Not for the neutrals 🤑 Ticket prices and tourists 🇳🇬 An Ndidi boost ✍🏻: @helsy33.bsky.social

NEW: Leicester City’s grand plan finally revealed - Do nothing “This is the first time a transfer window in the top flight has combined a lack of activity with the stench of relegation. As with defeat at Everton, it somehow feels both like deja vu and a new low” ✍️ @davidbevan.bsky.social | #LCFC

Either they’ve completely ruined the Champions League group stage or Leicester have decimated my interest in wasting my free time watching other football. Maybe both

A fine book haul from @booksellercrow.bsky.social yesterday (shame we picked your day off!)

Over the past few months, @jamesknight517.bsky.social has been gathering evidence on all potential suspects in the shameful murder of a once above-average football club. What follows are the raw notes from that investigative journal. Can you follow the clues to discover WHO KILLED LEICESTER CITY?

Foodbank for Fulham: Support Leicester’s homeless with a donation this Saturday “There are many Leicester fans for whom the work of Union FS is an enormous source of pride. The impact of their efforts relies on people getting involved and bringing whatever they can” ✍️ @davidbevan.bsky.social #LCFC

Favourite thing today: Over the Crossbar, an ongoing project by photographer Ryan Pierse of football goals around London and southern England. A glorious set www.instagram.com/p/DEaCZoiBpA...

Just finished book one of 2025 - Godwin by @josephoneill.bsky.social Very thought-provoking both in content and construction, and I flew through it to know what would happen next Great Christmas gift @evaduffy.bsky.social! You can buy it from @booksellercrow.bsky.social here

NEW Leicester City 0 Manchester City 2: Play like that again and we might be fine? @helsy33.bsky.social on: 💎 El Khannouss & Buonanotte adding some spark 🦊Our best 90 minutes but our pitfalls 🗓️ New year, new us?

I wrote about how much, how fiercely and why, I hate A.I. On eternal cons, a dying earth and talking dogs. www.thegist.ie/the-gist-3/

Watching Leicester is no fun at the moment. This game in particular was never going to be fun. Enjoy!

A virtuoso performance from our number one and @jamesknight517.bsky.social on match report duty It doesn’t disappoint… #LCFC

Relegation graph just dropped lads #lcfc

NEW- Newcastle 4 Leicester City 0: The Nightmare Before Christmas 😓 Mayday, mayday, Mads injured 🎯 Open season on Leicester's defence ⏰ Squad weakness and a tough month ahead ✍🏻: @helsy33.bsky.social

Just when I’d recovered from crediting Bobby Decordova-Reid with a brilliant assist live on BBC radio for a deflected shot, Spotify’s AI auto-transcription of the episode has got me giving the #LCFC job to Vanessa Roy 👩🏻‍💼 🤝 @owynnpalmeratkin.bsky.social

NEW: Local heroes and England legends - When Leicester City won at Newcastle United “There was no way he could have got the ball and 99 per cent of players would have pulled out, but unfortunately he was one of the one per cent” #LCFC #NUFC #NEWLEI ✍️ @davidbevan.bsky.social

Every time I change my mind twice I the space of 0.1 seconds about which direction I want to walk in, it’s going to remind me of Patson Daka v West Ham. A very niche “but did he mean it, Clive?” #LCFC

Generative AI has praised me for “embracing every facet of human experience through your music” That really meant a lot to me, coming from two made-up people #SpotifyWrapped

Although this (via @jwherrman.bsky.social) is about US politics, lots of relatively trivial ventures must also be affected by Musk’s changes to Twitter I initiated @thefosseway.net’s move here partly because our engagement suddenly went through the floor. And it did feel “strange and a little sad”

A question for #BookBlueSky - if the first sentence of the book you’ve started reading is staggeringly inept, do you keep reading?

NEW: A new fox in a legend’s socks - The emergence of Bilal El Khannouss 🦊🇲🇦 “The right coach at the right time can make a huge difference to a player’s career. The arrival of Ruud van Nistelrooy at this time in Bilal El Khannouss’s development feels timely” ✍️ @davidbevan.bsky.social | #LCFC

NEW: #LCFC 3 West Ham 1: The Flying Dutchmen. We're back, baby. 👌 RVN's tweaks 😍Bilal's brilliance 😨Giving up 30 shots to West Ham ✍️ @jamesknight517.bsky.social 📷 @helsy33.bsky.social
