Why we need to know where #Bruno #Fernandes gets his coffee

The new @Wisden is out tomorrow. For Guardian sport, I've done a mini-memoir about writing for Wisden, then working for it, and finally becoming the shortest-serving editor in its long history – or, as one of the writers put it, 'Wisden's George Lazenby'

If you're an #mufc fan, this is a treat. As Real Madrid turn up on the other side of Manchester, Rob Smyth takes a long close look at their epic tussle with #ManUnited in 2000 - and what it did to #AlexFerguson 's style of play

This, plus: regular bouts of nausea, indigestion, pain medication that does little to help, feeling faint, etc etc. I probably 'lose' about 2 working days a month because of the pain. I say 'lose' because I still work, I have to - but it's a horrible struggle.

Can we still call it a plan when it largely consisted of chaos? We can if it works. My attempt to make sense of #ManUnited 's shock win over Liverpool

Slightly dismayed to find ⁦Katherine Priddy⁩'s people making out that I gave her a four-star review. It was a five!

'Want to read the article first?' asks X as I retweet this. No thanks, I'm writing it.

The new album from ⁦Katherine Priddy⁩ is out today and it's a gem

This week's music for The Mail on Sunday Arts and Culture: the outstanding new album from Katherine Priddy and a Lexicon of loveliness from Martin Fry

A 'comprehensive nostalgic experience, fronted by some of Radio 2’s line-up of much loved presenters'. It's a step in the right direction, but I don't get why the BBC think it's just about nostalgia, rather than actual history. No one thinks Penguin Modern Classics are nostalgic

My music slot for The Mail on Sunday Arts and Culture: a memorable gig from Allison Russell Allison Russell, now a #Grammys winner. With thanks to Here Comes The Song for flagging up her excellence. Plus, the new single from Billy Joel
