Fair enough, I had no idea. It was certainly underrated in Switzerland, where I was living at the time. I was literally the only person in the cinema, as was often the case for my regular Monday evening visits. Must have given me a skewed idea of what impression a movie was making in the great...

I’d like to think this sort of idea is part of improving the application of the laws. If players gradually become better behaved this will happen. Remember the horrendous tackles we used to see back in the 60s, 70s, 80s? That’s largely been eliminated through new sanctions available to the ref...

Spreadsheet link doesn’t work for me. But thanks for organising this. In the previous competition I finished bottom. I entered having barely ever played Wordle. Since then I’ve sharpened my game a lot I think. Not enough to challenge the old stagers but am hoping for mid-level respectability at...

The biggest problem in soccer is not officiating but play-acting and ill-discipline. Fair, balanced officiating is almost impossible because players contest everything, even the most obvious throw-in decision. The slightest contact sees a player writhing around on the ground like a wounded...

It could of course but we already have players drawing opponents into yellow cards and red cards, so what’s new?

Could be anything from 4-0 Spurs to 3-0 Brighton, including all stops in between. As we’ve been so up and down this season, perhaps we’re due another defeat after the Palace triumph so I’ll suggest a reluctant 3-1 defeat.

The Week Moneyweek (never gets read, will unsubscribe at the end of current period. Used to subscribe to the Spectator and New Statesman but I unsubscribed when I abandoned my interest in politics a couple of years ago.

If anyone has evidence of corruption, let’s have it. I’ve always been a cock-up rather than conspiracy man. We’ve seen shocking VAR decisions affect all teams this season. Every football fan in the country thinks their club has had a worse time of it than anyone else. VAR is pretty terrible...

More totally pointless speculation. All we need is someone to mention Dunk and we have the full set and can close the thread. Dunk.

Good shot. I can see you want to capture the bokeh background but I’d be tempted to crop that closer as the detail is very good. What was the camera and lens?

We binge-watched all 3 series last week. Season 1 was excellent. Really enjoyed it. Seasons 2 and 3 I’m afraid started to get slightly tedious for me. The warmth we feel towards some of the characters just about sustains it, and Oldman is given some great lines, but the convoluted plots are...

I’m not sure what value you’re adding here. From what I gather you’re providing a list of books and you cream off a chunk of each sale via an Amazon affiliate link without doing anything at all.

That’s pants.

Pedro has a touch of it. In fact, I’ll say it, I think he’s a bit of a diver. Love him of course but I can see him pissing off rival fans sometimes. As for Barco, a bit of arrogance can be a good thing but I’d rather he showed it on the pitch than in the dressing room. RDZ doesn’t tolerate too...
