A thumbs up for Son of Saul from me. Blimey that was a rendering immersion into the desperation of survival and a smattering of faith remaining in the foul chaos. I'd add Shoah too. Almost 10 hours of testimony and remembrance accompanied repeatedly by the sounds of the trains carrying so many...

I'm flouncing the telly off

Definitely should have taken undav off.

They're a burly bunch of high paid game-plan-clad behemoths. It's worked well for them and their master of smugness, but I hope we don't remain in their diving, let's have some fisticuffs stylings. All we can do is battle with slickness and have them on edge. Yes, Undav is best off for now, but...

Sidwellian, I'd describe it as

In Italian would he talk about himself in the third person?

Yeah such a label is ludicrous, but anyone attending football matches knows at least 30% of the witterings are those of a flatulent hog-whisperer. He was in blistering form yesterday, and if forced to start on Thursday I hope he ends up with nothing more than a small sorry to old friends for...

How dare you. ;) Managing his fitness is a continuous process/challenge for a reason. He's not about to faint and tumble, and he charges around with a confidence in his body that perhaps was not there pre surgery for years, but to get the best out of him seems to mean using him fragmentally...

4 of which were 20 minutes or so off the bench, and none of which were for 90 minutes. It is best to ration his time and use for the good of him and the team. I like the guy, and he's a real plus for our squad, but we have to be sensible rather than label him uncrackable.

No. He probably remains a tad fragile, and playing him 10 games in a row is a risk, but he was brilliant today. Dropped deep and laid the ball off well, and marauded forward with a fervent venom. He was up for it and smelled weakness.

I'm pleased for him, and for us. Our big 3 needed a bit of a rest today, and those that stepped in were committed and potent. Undav was in a good place for the first and flaired it up for the second with precision. He was necessary today and proves his worth.

My inaugural visit to the lower west stand, and what a beauty. 2 metres in front of goal line, and all player celebrations right in front of me. Glorious. And they are a big pile of feeble bobbins. Should be 6-0 down. Nice brown lopetegui jumper though

Although i hadn't thought of it, Manchester by the Sea would definitely be in the selection of top films from this century. What shines the brightest for me is A Separation. Farhadi's films that followed couldn't match it, but his films are full of subtle commentary and potent personal drama. I...

Well, it's tickled me nicely, that news.

I'm on gram 2 of the 46 I bought for this fortnight-long build up. I intend to be in such a state by next Wednesday that the flares meant for my singeable anus will be devoured in a deluded melee of sleepless chaos and starvation. A hospital visit, some stitches in my deteriorated septum, and...

Used my Three £3 cineworld ticket today for John Wick 4. The Raid was good and enthralling for its simple computer game premise and physical performances that dazzled. This semi-all-star equivalent has its moments of violent mirth, but has the incurable disadvantage in Keanu sometimes having to...

Went to see Pearl today. I rather liked it. Hitchcockian with madcap grotesquerie and a great performance from Mia Goth as the oddly appealing eponymous character. Maybe not that strangely I was the only 1 there for a 1pm showing, but it added to the chill at the beginning. What did tickle me...

I can barely bring myself to come on here with all this merriment. Sickening.

I saw this and thought the similar. It's up for a best international film Oscar? Goodness gruffness me. Utter pap. Still love Force Majeure though.

I plan to have a t-shirt made with a picture in its front centre of me stamping on a patiently-made lego Taj Mahal.
