Had a great time on Thursday at the Rock'n'Rollbookclub 📚 event at Walthamstow Trades Hall. An interesting, entertaining, often funny conversation on all things #joydivision and some things #neworder between stephen morris and Kevin Cummins. Thanks to all involved, and to Jo Severs for the invite!

It’s always pleasing when holiday reading themes with the clothes you packed. Thanks #FrintononSea’s great St Helena bookshop – where I bought #RuyCastro’s biography of #Garrincha – and thank you Andrew Downie for translating such a fine book! #Botafogo #Brazilfootball

My club, Wolves, have proposed the abolition of VAR, arguing that "it has led to numerous unintended negative consequences that are damaging the relationship between fans and football..." Premier League clubs will vote on the proposal next month. Below are a list of Wolves'
