  1. I'm going to pretend to be all mature about his departure, but secretly hope his legs fall off and his bottom prolapses whilst making his debut for Barca.
  2. True, but I say give him the gloves, stick him between the posts and let him prove himself. He won't get better unless we play him.
  3. Sad news. Hopefully she won't come back as a zombie.
  4. True, but the pair of them are to goalkeeping what Fred and Rose West would be to Airbnb.
  5. Lee Marvin once insulted a woman Connery was with, and Connery had to be begged not to punch him in the face as Marvin was on set the next day. Always wondered who'd win that one, probably Connery as Marvin was pissed as a newt by then.
  6. Lovren being Captain worries me the most. Every time he tries too hard to prove he's good enough he has a nightmare.
  7. I liked the premise, but I found it a bit illogical in places. Anything about robots that doesn't start with the implied inclusion of some form of Asimov's three laws is only going one way.
  8. Fake, that's Stewart Downing, you can tell by the fingers.
  9. They sound like a pair of dirty cops who'd be the arch-enemies of Gomez and Clyne.
  10. I'd love to be confident going into this, but the sheer lack of creativity without Coutinho and Lallana's rustiness in the last game makes it tough to see anything other than a City win. Maybe we can hit them on the break, but who's making the passes and linking up with the front three? Do the rest of our midfield even have half a dozen goals and assists between them? 2-4
  11. This whole ITK thing is getting tedious, I'm not falling to this kind of... what's that? He's not just top class, but top top class? Tell me more oh wise ones.
  12. Yep, I bet even Sturridge would call him Mr Glass.
  13. The greatest trick Jack Wilshere ever pulled, was convincing the world he wasn't a shit packet of broken biscuits.
  14. It seems a bit slow because we're used to seeing something happen when the game stops, like a melee around the ref, rather than staring at a middle aged man with a finger in his ear. However, I like the fact that they're not trying to get everything right, but instead asking the question "Is there any obvious reason I should overturn the original decision?", much like an Umpire's call that's been reviewed in cricket. If it's close, inconclusive, debatable etc. then they go with the ref's decision. We'll still have arguments over decisions, like the Forest penalty that was a double kick, where you can tell from the trajectory of the ball it almost certainly ricocheted off his standing foot, but because you can't see the contact clearly it'd likely stand as a goal. The early days will come with teething problems - particularly for Serie A, where they're used to appealing everything and convincing themselves they deserve a throw in, even after ballooning the ball into the stands off their own shins when there's no-one within ten yards - but it'll hopefully stop the absolute howlers that can ruin games, like just about every major decision Howard Webb bottled.
  15. Depends what you mean by budget. You can certainly build a cracking surround set-up if you source some quality older speakers and are willing to forego things like Dolby Atmos support in the receiver. New though? I'd favour a top soundbar over budget 5.1, certainly over the more lifestyle systems with small centre channels. I miss having a big sub for music though.
  16. I like these football guessing games, but I'd prefer the journos turned them into riddles. "My first is in Anfield, but not FSG, I've played in La Liga, who might I be?"
  17. We haven't got the squad to win both the Net Spend Cup and the Probity Championship.
  18. Those stupid fucking captions on the TV telling you what's coming up next, just as the program you're watching is ending, usually at a key moment. They break the mood of what's been carefully built up to and are an annoyance greater than war and maybe even paper cuts too. Was watching Inside Number 9 last night; brilliant, but right when it gets to the final emotional pay-off shot, the BBC choose that moment to see whether I might want to press a button to watch Deep fucking Purple in concert! It's the kind of annoying shit you shouldn't have to put up with on a network with no adverts that's paid for by a licence fee.
  19. The Enforcer - 5/10 Has to be the worst Dirty Harry film just in terms of how it's dated. They throw just about every cliche about the changing face of seventies culture in there, and the acting is truly awful in places. The radical priest being an obvious lowlight.
