Am also at @anthonyabdool.bsky.social for those interested. Not posting regularly there rn, but give it time.

On behalf of football fans up and down the country, thank you Man City.

@DrAlwynTurner That edition features the great Raymond Hawkey cover.

"Ross was a regular officer; that is to say he didn’t drink gin after 7.30 pm or hit ladies without first removing his hat." Remembering the great Len Deighton, whose death has been announced. thelionandunicorn.com/2019/10/26/rea…

Arthur Hopcraft: The Football Man

@MinooFramroze Maggie Tulliver?

Fictional women impossible not to love. Anne Elliot. Princess Maria Bolkonska. Tatiana in Onegin. Beatrice in Much Ado. Britomart in the FQ. More to come perhaps

@rorysutherland Lovely concluding paragraph especially in these benighted times for the arts.

One more goal and we'll have turned into Spurs...

@SamLee He was pissed off about that, rightly so.

Doku does brilliantly to dribble and cross but the good cross somehow evades everybody

@AllyFogg And I love him for it…

Mad bald bastard’s playing a 3-3-4 away at Real Madrid.

@Scott_Wortley ‘Birming-ham.’

Bill Nighy's world's most scenic railway journeys is like Telly Savalas looking at UK towns and cities.

@NobariAli @inimitablepgw 100%

@inimitablepgw Uncle Fred

Which Wodehouse character steals the scene every time they appear?

@HenryEOliver @profrhodrilewis Indeed. I'd also say that Denis Donoghue is very funny about Bloom in Ferocious Alphabets.

As Harold Bloom has been having a moment on here (let it never be said that these things don't go in cycles), here's Kermode in March 1976--explaining to Bob Silvers why he won't, after all, review Bloom's Poetry and Repression for the NYRB.

@slbsn Oh, for sure. It's also on Oxford Street.

@anthonyabdool I’m sure it’s the same underlying creative if that’s what you mean. But this is definitely targeting a uk audience as it’s in the City too (which makes more logical sense in terms of audience)

Some companies love wasting money. Harvey Ai is a product for a few major law firms yet is spending money on ad boards at FA Cup games. The agency that selected that spend needs firing.

@slbsn The lines were similar. I thought they were just run over here. No problem if I’m mistaken

@anthonyabdool And you’ve forwarded me a blog about it’s June campaign last year

@slbsn harvey.ai/blog/harveys-f…

@anthonyabdool It is a UK campaign. On outdoor generally. Poorly placed by the agency

@AllyFogg @DomFarrell1986 Not before Bernardo's won the Ballon D' Or, Dom.

@DomFarrell1986 @anthonyabdool Hahaha I am available to the highest bidder.

Rodri and Bernardo until and beyond their wheels fall off then 💪 Haaland back, big night for Foden.

@catsareblessing She has the sweetest voice…

WE ALL LOVE YOUU PUDDLES 🥺❤️

Omid Djalili hasn't tweeted about Iran since Feb 25th. Has anyone sought his views yet? Genuine question.
