The FA is run by people who have no idea what it is to be a football fan.

York City Football Club is appalled to learn of the decision taken by the FA and the Premier League to make notable changes to the format of the FA Cup, unbeknown to National League and EFL clubs.

Some people are saying I’m a Lennie Lawrence for the Snapchat Generation. Not for me to comment.

Love it Stuart. And featured on the cover of Daniel Gray’s brilliant Silence Of The Stands

Finished and absolutely loved this by Daniel Gray , although I would challenge your assertion of Tadcaster being the fisheries boundary. Bill’s was always called ‘copmanthorpe fisheries’.

Might just base every weekend away on something featured in Daniel Gray ‘s amazing Food of the Cods from now on you know.

Dinnertime. Le scraps avec pain blanc.

I'm chuffed my book, Inshallah United, is out on paperback today. Hopefully it's funny, heartfelt and relatable. It's about football, identity and love.

Some kind people from bob mortimer to Marina Hyde have said lovely things about it

Late pitch inspection.

Huge congratulations to Daniel Gray, who excels at every form of writing and so of course has been shortlisted for Debut Food Book of the Year at the Fortnum & Mason Food and Drink Awards 2024. Writing so evocative you can smell the tang of vinegar from the shelf.

Food of the Cods - How Fish & Chips Made Britain is shortlisted in the Debut Food Book Category of the Fortnum & Mason Food and Drink Awards. Congratulations!

We are incredibly pleased to see Daniel Gray's FOOD OF THE CODS on the Fortnum & Mason Food & Drink Awards shortlist this year for Debut Food Book!✨

Food of the Cods is a delectable morself of a book, which ponders on the social history of our favourite dinner🐟🍽🧂

Pleased with this photo from yesterday. Definite Official Club Statement vibes, if the game ever moves on from lonely corner flags.

Mint to be in the Middlesbrough FC programme today. First time since winning tickets for a match in 1991, I think.

And here’s the Stuart Ripley photo too. What a player. He made dreams come true (if your dreams were full of perfect crosses planted onto centre-forwards’ heads, like mine).

It’s really cool to see my interview with Steve Clarke in this beautiful Euro ‘24 edition of NutmegMagazine which is a collaboration with the The Herald. I loved meeting Steve and it’s an honour to sit alongside so many great sports writers.

Enjoyed reading Daniel Gray Extra Time on flight home y’day including chapter on ‘Spotting a ground while on holiday’. 2 for me: Estadio Municipal Nuevo El Arcángel in Cordoba (looks better from inside apparently) & Campo de futbol de Almodóvar del Río from castle battlements

As featured in Food of the Cods, and justification for your Friday chippy tea if you needed it. Hope John enjoys his.
