@empiremagazine.bsky.social So your Indiana Jones ranking dropped into my podcast feed on the same day my FB memories informed me it was 5yrs since I introduced my then-11yr-old son to Crystal Skull after - and I quote - ‘some twat told him it was really a film’. Still furious about it!

I remember a time when I quite liked Spurs, but they’re so hilariously inept I only ever want bad things to happen to them. I’m sure that speaks poorly of me, but here we are 🤷🏻‍♂️

Why is it that the *opinion* of a billionaire tax dodger who hates his country of birth is deemed worthy of a full-length feature on the website of the public broadcaster?

Is it time to suggest that maybe Alonso isn’t a great manager? We can all fluke a good season, but the evidence would suggest he ain’t all that 🤷🏻‍♂️ Or the Chelsea voodoo is strong. (Would also explain Martinez’s form, too!)

Isn’t this Temu Tommy Robinson the same prick who was demanding the Daily Mail buy his mam a new house the other week because they didn’t say where she lived? Pathetic little man.

I genuinely love Jacob Murphy, and think the amount of stick he gets - for a decent player who seems to love playing football and specifically love playing football for us - is unfair, BUT his set pieces have been DOGSHIT tonight 😬 #NUFC

@disniversity.bsky.social I am currently 53mins into the Tangled episode and have just heard no less an authority than Dr Sam Summers lose his damn mind. Such a shame to see it on one so young, but it’s the only possible explanation for his musical claims thus far 😳

Just in case you're wondering why poor Nigel is being persecuted... Maybe you could let a voter in Clacton know, so they can feel extra special about electing him again.

Been to see The Odyssey. As ever, I just don’t get the Christopher Nolan love-in. It’s beautifully shot (obvs) and it’s well-acted (for the most part), but the *dialogue*! It’s just so clunky so often, and for a nearly 3hr film, there seems to be so many rushed sequences

If Bruno goes it’ll be desperately sad, but as long as both him & the club go about it the right way, it is what it is. He’s an amazing player & (potentially) *was* an amazing part of our recent uptick, in the same way Trippier, Gordon & the 🐀 were. One of those three is not like the others! #NUFC

So Bazoumana Touré has signed for #NUFC. Rather than keep a running commentary on each signing, I'll do something a bit longer to review the window when we're done and see how the pieces fit together. Instead, here's a quick and dirty thread about what data tells us about the player. 1/

Apparently Spurs have agreed a deal to sign Mateus Fernandes for £85m. Hopefully this means they’re no longer interested/can afford Tonali, but if I were a club who’d finished 17th in both of the last two seasons, not sure if I’d risk signing a player who got relegated both of those two seasons 😳😅

Fair play to Paraguay, like - rode their luck but worked their arses off and it’s eventually paid off for them. (Pleased Big Nick’s missed penalty wasn’t the decisive one, though 😅)
