I'd forgotten how grim this film was. That's putting it mildly.

Michael Olise really is some player. As postage stamp a free kick as you can hope to get.

Only just noticed that BBC2 are showing "The Substance" this evening. If you've never seen it, & fancy watching it, I can only say... brace yourselves. It is proper gonzo. Body horror ramped up to 11. Brilliant film though.

This was such a good listen. I know Twitter now is shit, but when it WAS good, it introduced me to some of THE best people I now call close friends, & LFC was a key common factor in that. My life is SO much more enriched with those people as a part of it. And I'll be eternally grateful for that.

The Celebrity Traitors is a much needed & welcome enjoyable escape from the current world of shite.

The time City went to Blundell Park to play Grimsby when they were in League 1 & their away fans started singing “You’re shit & you stink of fish”. It was a simpler time. Halcyon days.

There was a time when Henry Winter was a top football journo. The best, even. Those days have long gone. What’s he on about here? Just because City have behaved without any decorum doesn’t mean that Liverpool’s players have to follow suit at all. Nor should they.

Renamed by a man who clearly lacks any intelligence.

Whatever appeal is lodged & heard, it does seem like it'll be concluded within this season, going by what is mentioned in The Athletic. The sooner it is, the better, frankly.

Nothing to celebrate really. Punishments will be paid forward & won't repair the damage done. Retrospectively awarding titles to those teams who came 2nd is pointless. No joy to be gleaned from that. The Premier League can throw a library of books at City & it'll still be deeply unsatisfying.

Sunday 11th October will be interesting.

I wouldn't mind this if it wasn't for the fact that The Inbetweeners is utter fucking shite. Greg Davies was the only good thing about it. At least Simon Bird redeemed himself with Friday Night Dinner.

Anyone who refers to him as "Danny Tommo" clearly shows their true colours. Just like BBC News did the other evening when they reported on his being arrested for slashing that dinghy.

Quite an achievement to get the man's name wrong twice in the same post.

Today I saw the new 4 hour documentary Musk, directed by Alex Gibney. There were too many times to count that a sold out theater burst out laughing at Elon Musk, something he said or did, even sometimes just how he looked. I believe that is his worst nightmare come to life.

Just watched this. He was impressive, to be fair. Kuenssberg mentioned about protesters outside as the interview was going on. I'm hoping they were chanting, "Kuenssberg Out".

Someone needs to ask Michael O'Neill how they stopped Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.

I know people will disagree with me over this point, but I don't care, really - should Man City get the punishment they deserve, then I'll feel sorry for the players who played during that period, & those who are at the club now in the time of turmoil. They didn't choose to be bought for the...

I wouldn't argue with the inclusion of any of the shows in this list - I've seen a lot of them - but I am really surprised that Brooklyn Nine-Nine isn't in the list.

I’m curious as to what the charge they were cleared of is…

The two podcasts which have formed this discussion have been two of the best podcasts I think TAW have ever done. Really thought provoking stuff, respectful debate… really well worth listening to if you are able to do so.

And the ref says he has... so it's still 0-0.

000

Well... he might have. Depends if they think Brian Brobbey has fouled the keeper...

000

Well, Virgil Van Dijk has just scored from a corner against Jurgen's Germany...

People belittle American sports, but having a beer at the game (whatever sport it is) is part of the culture there. I've experienced it at NBA & baseball games. The fans are (rightly) trusted to behave. And they do. Football fans in this country should be as well. You can't legislate for dickheads.
