  1. Pep Guardiola has revealed that Erling Haaland, Kevin De Bruyne and Manuel Akanji all asked to be substituted before Manchester City were taken to penalties by Real Madrid.
  2. Haaland did fuck all, but don't you have to leave your best goal scorer on the pitch? It's not as if he was out of gas after spending 90 minutes running from one end of the pitch to the other. He basically just stands around in the box.
  3. Frank (Henry Fonda "Once Upon a Time in the West") Francis Dolarhyde (in the book "Red Dragon" by Thomas Harris. Brilliant character, almost impossible to portray on screen.)
  4. I actually haven't watched him much at all and was expecting a mid-field general who controlled the pitch from box to box. He spent most of his time chasing the ball and a step behind every pass. So as someone said above more a Frank Lampard than a Steven Gerrard.
  5. Bellingham over to celebrate with the fans as if he single-handedly won the match. He looked out of his depth throughout.
  6. Time to get Modric on and get a little possession in mid-field. Camavinga is useless.
  7. If they don't get possession of the ball now and then, Real are going to get thumped.
  8. The rictus grin at the end is magnificent.
  9. Walker too busy claiming offside to defend the cross that goes right by him.
  10. Five off the top of my head. Harry Powell (Robert Mitchum in "Night of the Hunter") Tuco (Eli Wallach in "The Good The Bad and The Ugly") Karla (The main antagonist in the George Smiley novels) Beth Jarrett (Mary Tyler Moore in "Ordinary People") Livia Soprano (Nancy Marchand in "The Sopranos") Don't know if the last two are villains, but they certainly were a couple of my favourite movie/TV antagonists.
  11. Correa equalizes, then Fullkrug puts Dortmund back in front (on the night, equalizing the tie) with a wonderful header. The longer it goes on the better this one gets.
  12. Hummels with the OG to level it up between Dortmund and Atletico. Watched him a few weeks ago and he was fantastic; last couple of weeks, not so much. Entertaining match so far.
  13. "Dancing in the Glory of Monsters: The Collapse of the Congo and the Great War of Africa" Jason Stearns "Africa's World War: Congo, the Rwandan Genocide, and the Making of a Continental Catastrophe" Gerrard Prunier Two books on the wars that took place in the DRC following the genocide in Rwanda. The first is the one to read first, the second is a much-more complex attempt to present all the different factions involved, and all the events that took place between 1994 and 2004. 5 million excess deaths in a series of conflicts driven in large part by Kagame's Rwanda and Museveni's Uganda, with most of the other surrounding nations involved in one way or another. The violence continues up to the present day, though at a lower level, with Kagame and Rwanda still heavily involved.
  14. Thought the same thing initially, watching with no sound as well. Was on Palmer rather than Madueke. Stood on his heel.
  15. If Everton spend the next 25 minutes kicking lumps out of the cunts, I won't be sad.
  16. One thing that made me laugh was the giant golf bag to carry around all the gear. Three machine guns, 500 rounds of ammunition, ten grenades, a rocket launcher, a month's worth of food and a rock collection. Away we go.
  17. All I remember from Fallout is wandering around in a cave shooting at rats until I got bored. They must have based the TV show, which I enjoyed quite a bit, on later iterations of the game.
  18. At times, Deschambeau's swing looks as if he's playing the sport for the first time in his life.
  19. Sugar Colin Farrell as a soft-boiled detective in Las Angeles. Another riff on Chandler, but so far so good. Didn't realize it wasn't all available, so if you'd rather watch it all at once, wait a couple of months..
