Sheffield United, football and boxing writer. As for the rest, you don't want to know. Trust me.

Back at the Lords of the North. #cricket

I'm at Anfield for what probably won't be the final time. The same can't be said of Mo Salah or Andy Robertson. Well, in terms of being Liverpool players at least. #lfc #bees

Sir Lindsay will be a very happy man. Not as happy as El Gato, granted. But very happy nonetheless. 🥊 #UsykRico #boxing

Summer is officially back. Cricket = North Marine Road. #scarborough #yorkshire

@BenMBlackwell Terrible. Shameful. Also the best advert for NUJ membership. Encourage them all to sign up.

I'm at Leeds United. So are Europe-chasinf Brighton and Hove Albion. #lufc #bhafc

Wishing them all the very best and an upbeat reminder to keep pushing forward. 🥊'ing needs the eyes good journalists lure towards it. Unfortunately, it seems that experiencing this is a rite of passage in our profession these days. #boxing #keepgoing

Terrible what happened with BoxingScene laying off a slew of quality writers and editors today. Good luck to all of you, including @EricRaskin, @JasonLangendorf, @fightingwords2, @TrisDixon and @MattCBoxingNews, @ryansongalia. #boxing

I'm at Liverpool v Chelsea. The sunshine has turned up. Will the visitors? #lfc #cfc

[James Shield @JamesShield1]

Fair few Sheffield United veterans in the Hull City side tonight. Another in Millwall's too. #sufc #twitterblades

[James Shield @JamesShield1]

Hull City, Millwall and hopefully some play-off magic for me tonight. #hcafc #millwall

2/2 If you continue to read from a pre-prepared script, when the person in front of you is clearly disinterested, then you've got zero chance of doing either. Especially when someone is clearly a little awkward in these situations. #WardleyDubois

[James Shield @JamesShield1]

A few thoughts on THAT interview with Daniel Dubois. 1) I personally wouldn't describe what he did as storming out. 2) One of the arts of interviewing is to read the interviewee, engage them and therefore elicit interesting information. 1/2). #WardleyDubois

Coventry City celebrate becoming Championship champions. Avery different mood inside the stadium than under previous owners. Meanwhile, Wrexham are left sweating on a play-off berth. #pusb #ccfc

[James Shield @JamesShield1]

Must say, @SheffieldUnited's still ticks all the right boxes for me. Good mix of news, views and round-ups - all for around the price of a takeaway coffee. #sufc #twitterbladez

How to preserve the future of printed programmes:

1. Adopt an eye-catching cover. Preferably retro.

2. Pack the programme full of fresh articles that have not been used elsewhere - especially on the internet. Club history articles are particularly beneficial.

@Chelsearory But then I bit and responded, so guess I'm the loser in all of this. #boostengagement #relevance

[James Shield @JamesShield1]

@Chelsearory The fact there is no mention of BlueCo in this simply confirms why we are in a downward spiral. Blame pinned on someone else and in thrall to the cult of the coach. #coolaid #deflection
