Meh, formations on paper don't mean much these days. Fluidity, boys. And pivot.

Are we absolutely sure that his 'blue tick' hasn't been co-opted by a 12 year old simpleton? No? Oh dear.

Well Ziyech is off breaking Portuguese hearts. Hehehe.

Said without irony while forcing his opinion on millions of twitter users.

Voting doesn't seem to matter any more. We've had two Prime Ministers since the last time I was asked to vote.

Prosecute is a verb, for God sake.

I've never had access to any channel/streaming service that has broadcast The Wire, unfortunately but I've got a mate who raves about it. The Sopranos I have seen some of, and it's great, but there are episodes of BB where I've had to phone up friends just to say 'What the F**k!'.

Why so serious?

Think we'll 100% see a winger signed in Jan.

Turn it off 30 minutes before the end, and it's one of the best films ever made. The ending actually made me angry in the cinema.

I think everyone is missing the obvious- FREAKING WATCH BREAKING BAD!! Best TV show of all time, and it's not close.

I dunno. I certainly liked Prey, but I'm not sure it blew me away. It was a solid action film, with good characters and was well acted, but I didn't think it was anything I'd not seen before tbh.

Davkaus has a bot-farm

In fairness that does look like someone tried, but did not have access to suitable materials. As I understand it baked beans are not a thing over there.

CUCUMBER?!?!

I should say I've been to Germany and Salad Cream would be the most useless condiment. There is no salad. Ever. Meat, bread, beer and pasta, awesome, but literally nothing green. I ordered a salad in a restaurant out of desperation (and I never order salad). It turned out to be pasta with sausage in it. After a couple of weeks there I was on the verge of contracting scurvy.

You know looking at it closely I'm not sure it's actually mayo it's the wrong colour. Could it be...salad cream? If so, that just raises further questions.

By the law of averages there will be something on that plate that mayo will go with.

Oh my god there is! What the actual f**k is that all about? I can't say I don't like everything on the plate individually, but that's like every meal and snack I've ever had on one plate.

Imagine Portugul players crying at the end of this game. That thought will keep me going for a while.

Come on Olof. Does he still have his prodigious viking beard?

Too many Penalty shootouts in the knockouts at the moment for but hopefully that will change. Certainly it's been dramatic, which is good.

I agree, I'm not much of a fan of US imperialism, or interventionism, but the world needs the US as the balance to the equation of world power. That’s why, I think, recent efforts by Trump et al to pervert a democratic America and to break the US in two have been so horrifying from the outside. I couldn't care less about how America does things internally, but their politics fundamentally impacts the rest of the world. Can you imagine what would have happened in Ukraine if Trump was in charge? He would have said it was nothing to do with him, which would have weakened Nato, which would have emboldened the Chinese re Taiwan, and we would be on the cusp of a massive global conflict.

I get your point, but while you appear concerned that Emi was being given instructions from the sidelines, I am not, because it means Unai has a plan for him and he gets the time in a friendly to coach him into that plan.

This.
