If, like me, you are still shaking with adrenalin and can't be trusted to drive a motorised vehicle for another 24 hrs after last night, & are likewise confused by the structural concept of public transport, you can also still purchase online at @thesquareball.net

"how very fucking hell" really does sum it up
I am the baddie. Apologies, that's fixed now!
Is it questionable AI?
IT'LL BE GOOD TO SEE MATCH OF THE DAY AGAIN.

That may be the worst game of football I've ever seen
#LUFC 0-1 Manchester City: When the sun goes down
There was a lot to like about Leeds United vs Manchester City, and enough to leave a sour taste.

In 1932, Joe Thompson boarded a ship from Southampton for his third Ashes tour of Australia carrying a leather Victor suitcase.
Almost a hundred years later, I had a rummage through the same suitcase to see what he brought back.

25 years have passed since #LUFC swaggered their way to a #UCL semi-final, so we wrote about it:

Plus asking for divine help, conquering Rome, best XI faced and more!

I've never known a 3-0 away win feel as grim as that Watford game.

Gary Jarman (R) spars with Andy Lee. They are both wearing yellow boxing gloves.
'“I used to hang out with [Amy Winehouse] and jam sometimes, late nights at her house, doing the exact same stuff that she was doing." Within months of Winehouse’s death, Gary Jarman had enrolled at a boxing gym.'

Truly sickening
Probably for the best we couldn’t hear the echo in the studio. Would’ve only added to the sense I was having a breakdown
The record will show I abstained from that, your Honour
Can only apologise for the shambles of last night’s Match Ball. Can’t promise this makes much more sense either.
Still my favourite bit of the whole thing
You can read the original story from four years ago here.
What started off as a daft pub conversation turned into one hell of a rabbit hole trying to work out whether MF DOOM lived in Leeds or not.

I make a little appearance in the final episode of this new podcast series on MF DOOM and how he ended up living in Leeds.
The soundtrack is by Matt Helders, so I'm counting it as fulfilling my childhood dream of collaborating with Arctic Monkeys.
