Only new years resolution I've made this year is to try and read more books. Used to get though 30-40 a year but thats dropped to 10-15 over the last few years

First book finished is this on Englands World Cup win. Decent read and covered lots I wasn't familiar with despite how well known it all is
Book "Answered prayers" by Duncan Hamilton

17th book of the year

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
Book - Interesting Times by Terry Pratchett

Lovely build up + the inevitable = goal #ManCity

Half our systems aren't working at work this morning. Random assortment of things and after quick search online..... AWS is down. Do wonder if this move to everyone using the same 3 or 4 cloud services is a good idea, aren't we just creating a small number of ways to take down half the internet?

Routine home win in the end. Did enjoy the 'get Haaland a hat-trick' fun and games for the last 10 mins. Shame it didn't work #ManCity

#England have made #WorldCup and Euro's qualifying routine and boring over the last decade or so. It hasn't always been this way (I'm old enough to remember not qualifying, more than once) and means they don't get the credit they should for it. Regularly qualifying with games to spare is impressive

16th book of the year

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
Book - Football Against The Enemy by Simon Kuper

Big win from the women, coming back late from a goal down away from home is always a big win #ManCity

This bowling spell from Sophie Ecclestone is incredible - 4 for 5 from 6 overs is ludicrous #CWC25 #EngSL

That Littler-Price game was the most ludicrous gane of darts I've ever seen. Some of the best and worst darts you'll see, often within the ssme leg 🤣🤣

in my opinion, for whatever its worth, the two most ridiculous people in world sport right now are Luke Littler and Tadej Pogacer. In both cases we are possibly witnessing Goat of their sport in real time

Football finishes, switch over to Darts, Luke Littler needs 170 to win the match, Luke Littler hits 170. He is ridiculous

Very good 1st half but.... only 1-0. Need to score more when on top (see also many recent games) #ManCity

That win in the Rugby is massive beyond the World Cup itself. Potentially very similar to the Lionesses win in the Euro's in 2022 in terms of impact

Decent afternoon's sport - @mancity.com win, Liverpool lose, Europe destroying USA at the Ryder Cup, and England women winning the Rugby World Cup 😀
