After watching Villa’s Spanish training camp video and seeing Pau, Maatsen, Goretzka, and Madjo putting in work, my fingers are crossed that the player on international duty all make it back fit.

For those of you who know me, it’s exactly five years since I worked at the garage. Now I’m one of those WFH assholes, and I couldn’t be happier

I wish they never had to do them, but AEW does the very best tribute shows and it’s not even close.

Rogue wasp stung me on my foot and flew around like a crazy thing, angrily buzzing and smashing into walls. Has disappeared somewhere in the house. Paranoid it’ll get me in my sleep now

This puts it into perspective, doesn’t it? As a Villa supporter, that 09/10 season with Martin O’Neill that got us sixth, we were battling City and Spurs, I wonder how much that £22.5m extra played a part? Would Lerner have kept investing if we finished higher? Would O’Neill have stayed?

"The league said the commission had found City used schemes “to artificially inflate the club’s revenues, and reduce its costs, by more than £900m during the affected period, to appear to comply with financial rules”. £900 million.

The name for the Full Gear PPV started as a bit with Hangman Page being in full gear because of PAC.

Not going to speculate, but with The Butcher Andy Williams passing away recently too, I’m getting flashbacks to the bad old ‘90s when the work and the ‘lifestyle’ started catching up with stars I grew up with

I've never heard anyone, fan or wrestler, say a bad word about Pac. What awful news to wake up to.

Finished Wolverine - mad that a game that is merely “fine” is considered a disaster these day. Not very deep, doesn’t re-invent the wheel, but is also pretty polished, well acted, and has a decent story.

It’s taken eight years for City to be found guilty on the majority of the charges against them, how long do you think it will take for the Premier League to come up with a suitable punishment? Then, of course, will be a lengthy appeals case…

Do you think that Emery replacing Johan Lange with Monchi and letting Lange go to Tottenham was a secret psyop to load Spurs up with expensive useless signings to bring them down from the inside?

since the Lethal Weapon final showdown doesn't technically feature real rain (it's a broken fire hydrant), I've decided the opening sequence of Highlander also counts. one of the Great Wet Action Scenes™
wide shot of Fasil and Connor MacLeod facing off with swords in a misty, wet parking garage Connor's wet sword underneath a car low angle shot of 2 wet cars surrounded by mystery parking garage fog, Fasil's silhouette between them closeup on Christopher Lambert's wet Connor MacLeod with his head against the side of a car, hiding behind it, holding his sword up

+1 for the Mr. Joshua vs Riggs showdown. and the first couple sequences that came to mind are the umbrella scene in Zhang Yimou's Shadow (pretty breathtaking to see on the big screen) and Chow Yun-fat vs. Simon Yam in Ringo Lam's Full Contact
b&w image made gray with rain - a screenshot of countless spinning weaponized umbrellas (difficult to see, but there are people hiding underneath them) hurtling down a flooded street surrounded by houses with archers standing on the roofs, taking aimblue-tinted rain-filled screenshot of Chow Yun-fat on a motorcycle, seen from behind, slightly left of center frame, with fire and an exploded car in the background, slightly right of center frame

Best use of rain in a violent sequence from a movie? I'd go with the end of Apocalypse Now (the killing of Kurtz) or Mr. Joshua fighting Riggs at the end of the first Lethal Weapon
