Thank you for all the love around the 5th anniversary of Vikki's death. I've felt that after the 1st year or two, the progression of grief to some acceptance is rarely written about. Tried to rectify that in my new short novel. And write a good story.

Something I wrote as my final essay for my @Cambridge_Uni Masters, about crime thrillers and whether men can write women... Naturally Vikki, muse and inspiration for my main character @janmasonjourno, figures very prominently.

@glamvicar She used to make mix tapes for me entitled Cool Chick!

@ArmfieldDuncan Thanks Duncan. She took a good photo, did V.

This is just a sticking plaster when radical treatment is needed for #NonLeague. Regionalise #EFL League Two, North and South, take in many more #NationalLeague clubs so Non-League can get back to being itself and has fewer full-time big clubs throwing money at it, while smaller ones get into financial trouble trying to keep up with them.

@campbellclaret @BurnleyOfficial You might get the 1960 title-winning game on that...

All know that #Spurs can play but that was what the faithful wanted to see - some guts and character in the face of pressure to go with the moments of quality in attack. A boost for Ange from his collection of kids and bit-part players. #BRETOT

@niallb1 It has, Niall, and it winds me up. Ref gave a pen for Forest yesterday and more should.

Very proud that Vikki's name is attached to this excellent initiative by the @theofficialfwa. It really is a prize worth winning, but got to be in it to win it. So, get writing...

Watched the moving BBC coverage of 80th anniversary of #HolocaustMemorialDay today with a mix of sadness and optimism. I visited Auschwitz in '93 while in Poland covering an England game - it was chilling but something I believe we should all do in our lifetimes, if possible.

@ArmfieldDuncan It's a work of art, Duncan. I think all football fans love the tangerine.

@jonmufc44 👍

@jonmufc44 Hope you got it on the second...

@ChesterMikeFH Guess so!
