Do people here actually consider Predator a better film than the Shining? Several here need a good … talking to.

Blue Velvet Elephant Man The Shining Back to the Future Robocop Matewan My Neighbour Totoro Grave of the Fireflies Raiders of the Lost Ark The Thing

Badlands. Days of Heaven. Jaws. Deliverance. Godfather. Day of the Jackal. Dawn of the Dead. Celine and Julie Go Boating. Chinatown. Don’t Look Now.

Absolutely ridiculous penalty.

That’ll surely ruin Richarlison’s sunny disposition.

Lawrence of Arabia. Psycho. The Wild Bunch. Night of the Living Dead. The Innocents. I’m keeping the list english-speaking, as otherwise, Ozu’s last three films and a couple of Kurosawa’s would probably warrant a place. Can’t have them there foreigners complicatin’ things… Should perhaps be a separate competition for «foreign» films…

That’s a big «if».

There are rumours coming from Boston that FSG have, in fact, copulated with themselves.

The Super League hiring Katie Perrior, Theresa May’s former director of communications, might not have been their best idea. I mean ... they have been completely silent on the issue, not giving any wothwhile arguments apart from the ramblings of Perez.

As I wrote yesterday, it’s absolutely staggering that FSG had not conducted any consequence analyses before partaking of and in this shit meal. Fucking hubris.

The Third Man The Treasure of the Sierra Madre Rear Window Seven Samurai The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp.

Just like us to be the first ones playing after this debacle.

Even through all the covid shit, I’ve managed to care and get myself worked up and nervous before our games. Now I just feel sick, as I find myself not really caring about the outcome of tonight’s match. Americans. Businessmen. Fuck off.

I’d be less concerned if I had any reason to think this was part of a well analyzed and considered plan to topple Uefa. However, as with almost all former «plans» FSG have been involved with in relation to Liverpool, I fear they have underestimated/ completely misunderstood why «soccer» is so attractive in Europe, and they will probably have to perfom an embarrassing walk of shame back to status quo at some point. The covid-induced economic crisis has been worse for the Italian and Spanish leagues, so they have the most to gain and least to lose. The various American groupings, without a clear understanding of supporter culture, have simply followed their instinct and gone for «the money». It would be scandalous if they haven’t already analyzed this initiative from a public relations aspect, but I fear the worst...

Why do you hate Harvey?

On the plus side, I actually thought Ox looked lively (he did so in his last cameo, as well) and, dare I say it, approaching some kind of form. And the intensity of our pressing was almost back to normal. Scant consolation, I know.

Yes, it is. At a point in my life, I made it my mission to see every film of his...

Samuel Fuller’s Naked Kiss and Shock Corridor are worth seeking out for something a bit off the beaten path. Nicholas Ray’s In a Lonely Place is probably on my top ten list of films ever. The Thin Man series of films with William Powell and Myrna Loy. Powelland Pressburger’s I Know Where I’m Going and A Canterbury Tale. Carol Reed’s Odd Man Out, with James Mason, is likewise sublime.

Grosse Point Blank. Suspiria. The Proposition. The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford. The Shining.

Talking Heads: Remain in Light. Neil Young: After the Goldrush. Kate Bush: Hounds of Love. XTC: Black Sea. The The: Mind Bomb. The Handsome Family: Singing Bones. Bonnie Prince Billy: I See a Darkness. David Bowie: Hunky Dory. Prefab Sprout: Steve McQueen. Leonard Cohen: Songs of Leonard Cohen.

Fabinho and Mané confirmed out.

Jesus, I’ve become one of them whoosh people, haven’t I? That’ll teach me to read before I think or somesuch...

Made by Hugo Boss, no less...

With our luck, he’ll probably injure our entire forward line in training. Schalke really wanted to get rid, didn’t they? I actually hate this signing.

Fuck’s sake. Would rather go without anyone than getting Kabak. I have a strong suspicion he’ll be detrimental to morale and, frankly, has seemed a bit shit this last year as well.
