There were decent performances throughout, and the cinematography was impressive. But it was one of those that had me looking at my watch. Nothing much happens.
Will probably get Best Picture, regardless.
Trash talk is all part of the (tedious) game. But seeing EJR running around the ring in that last round ? Christ, have some respect for your sport you mug.
His dad would never have done that.
Eubank Jr clearly a mile ahead with his speed and accuracy. But his utterly classless showboating made me wish Williams filled his face in.
What an insufferable prick. I hope the next bloke weaves his over-inflated head into the canvass, because he certainly AIN'T all that. What a prat.
Ahh. If only everyone in life could duck and swerve from their professional responsibilities, and cite "context" for the reason. Its almost Johnson-esque.
I suppose its a mental health thing.
Sorry, but what is more 'nuanced' than a Premier League striker stepping up to take a penalty in a shootout. What is it that I am missing ? What else is he supposed to be there to do ?

Bottom line for me...as a striker, if he hasn't got the confidence to step up and take a penalty, then he's just not made of The Right Stuff. He's gone up there to PROVE himself. He's not going to do...

Instead...he shrunk away and just left it to everyone else. I'm sorry, but if a striker lacks the...
I'm with you. I find the excuses tiring. "He's young, he's on loan, he needs to find his confidence" etc. Bottom line - he is a PL striker, and it is his bloody JOB to stick that ball in the back of the net - otherwise, whats the point of him ? He hid from the shootout, whilst youngsters and CBs...
Not dissimilar to that complete and utter BEASTING we dished out to that filth up the road a couple of seasons ago, when we were 3-0 up at half time (despite being down to 10 men after less than half an hour).
Andone will never have a finer moment in his career.
