Both Queen’s Park and Dundee agreeing to a “f**k it, we’re no defending” pact pre-game is fucking magnificent, IMO.

Hilariously shit defending from Zinchenko giving the score line a wildly undeserved sliver of credibility aside, you simply have to respect how gutless this Chelsea team has been the last few months. This is absolutely generational chucking it from these players. Looking at their squad, there won’t be a single one of them in tonight’s 20 man on less than 60k a week, at least 70% of them will be on a weekly 6 figures, and they quite simply just can not be fucked. Way worse than even the Man U players at their plodding worst a couple of years ago, which, considering they have a Fat Tory c**t of a manager, thick yank owner, and despicable, vile, racist fans, is just very, very funny.

With these being legitimate concerns and all, I presume you'll be able to provide evidence from the 11 countries in Europe who already have an implemented GRA that shows that the "increased opportunity from lowered barriers" has led to an increase in predators "chancing it" and more assaults occurring in single sex spaces?

Steph Curry is quite simply the greatest show on earth. The most entertaining sportsman on the planet bar none. Now, Lakers v Warriors? Bron v Steph?

Warriors Kings is on BBC1 tonight for anyone that wasn’t aware. Should be a screamer.

Meant more for when you were across in May, but tbh, it’s that much of a banger that it can be hummed at any time, in any place. I, sadly, will not be in the states during any of the playoffs. I will, however, continue to get up at 5am to sit on my couch and watch the latest recorded instalment of NBA insanity before work. “These hoops are really moreish”

Mark Connolly humming away to himself down 7th Avenue Good luck getting tickets, they'll be like gold dust.

£ for £, Chelsea must be a top 5 worst team in the history of football, which, considering their fat Tory c**t of a manager, thick yank owner and disgusting, racist fans, is just very, very funny.

Only thing I can think of is possible collusion with Matsson. Can’t remember if she was aware that the plan was to blow up the deal or not, but she could have potentially informed him, so he was prepared (why he said Roman was fucked and he couldn’t quite work out why), able to put in an offer so large that is was unturndownable (definitely a word), in exchange for a seat at the table when it all went through, maybe as head of ATN seeing as she’s already trying to medal in it. She’s definitely trying to manipulate Tom as well, which, baby aside, would tie in with that considering his position. Cranston and Paul in Breaking Bad and Bob Odenkirk and Rhea Seehorn in Better Call Saul aside, I can’t think of a programme where the lead actors are just so consistently excellent through multiple seasons of television. It is absolutely outstanding in every facet.

“Off the top of my head, I can think of a 3 point plan we could try. Point 1, stop sending people your blood”. Excellent stuff again. Assumed that they’d piss Matsson off to the point of no return, deal would implode, and the last 6 eps would be the kids fighting for control, but the pivot at the end all but removes that possibility as the board would definitely vote the deal through. Can’t call where it’s going to go or how it’s going to get there, and it’s testament to how good the writing is that it’s not a concern in the slightest.

If he doesn't immediately join infowars and start dishing the dirt on Murdoch and the rest of the Fox hierarchy, and their links to the globalist elite NWO, then what are we even doing here?

Some laugh trying to defend the competence of the police force and their procedures, when at the exact same time informing us all that it can take over 6 months just to get a warrant. Doesn't sound particularly efficient, or dare I say competent, to me.

We binged the lot this weekend, it’s fucking brilliant. I knew nothing about it, and with Adam Scott in the lead, just assumed it was a dark comedy, all the better for it not being (although not to say there aren’t a load of funny bits). Acting is excellent, and they paced it so well, just enough development to keep interested without giving away the farm. Last episode was exceptional as well. Was genuinely tense the whole way through. Only disappointment is that I’d seen there was 19 episodes when I looked on IMDb, so expected to go straight in to the second season. Gutted we have to wait.

At this point, the decent thing for spurs to do would just be to liquidate and let the nice shiny stadium be used for big gigs and fights. There’s zero other point to their existence now.

A hilarious man, that understands his supporters are creepy weirdos

Every playoff game I’ve watched so far have been thoroughly enjoyable, even the Knicks Cavs 90s throwbacks. Kings Warriors has been the most enjoyable series so far, really hope it goes to 7 as it’s been that good, and loving the Suns v Westbrook revival, just a massive shame Kawhi’s missed the last two and PG’s out, would have been even closer if those two were available. Hope Lebron goes mental and torches Dillon Brooks tonight, the NBA banter gods demand it. Still think either the Bucks or Celtics will win the whole thing, but zero idea who’s coming out of the West. Bar the stinking Wolves it could be literally any of the other 7. Hope it’s not the suns though, Paul and Booker are incredibly unlikeable, even if they are brilliant. So much going on across the board. I fucking love basketball.

To the surprise of absolutely no one, Alen Babic gets mailed the second he remotely steps up in class. Should have kept him fighting taxi drivers in co-mains on bigger shows so he could keep selling tickets.

"changing your opinion or u-turning" is an interesting way of describing a complete 180 degree flip on his entire political philosophy. Sure it's just a coincidence that his socialist starting position, which would appeal to a large number of his party's membership, occurred when he needed their votes to become leader, and the second he no longer needed that, the shift to the right commenced. As I say, sure it was just sheer coincidence that a committed socialist in his late 50's had an epiphany and decided that I'm now an "economically centrist, socially right wing" former Director of Public Prosecutions, and certainly not that this was his position all along which he lied about to become leader. No sir. I genuinely don't think you could get an A4 sheet of paper between him or Sunak, either politically or in terms of competence. If we have to be part of this godforsaken islands politics, then I'd rather a left-wing labour was in charge, but this isn't that, not by a long way, this is the Spider-Men pointing at each other meme in political party form, just another set of tories. When I'm being lied to and cheated, I'd at least like you to have the good graces to do it openly so I can recognise it. You know what you're getting from those fucking tory vermin, whereas Starmer and labour being sleekit scum and offering sunshine and delivering shite is just as unappealing from a results perspective, and even less so in terms of the damage it'd conceivably do to the electorate in the medium term ("that labour are no better than the tories, as well just voting for them again", etc, etc).

Or, alternatively, "doubt he believes in anything" actually = multiple examples of him making promises and then flip flopping on them the second he hears that some focus group might not have been too keen on it. Remember his 10 pledges? Keir certainly hopes you don't. Remember how re-nationalising state infrastructure and services was to be a priority? Keir certainly hopes you don't. Remember when he committed to updating GRA in England and Wales? Keir certainly hopes you don't. Remember when he pledged to abolish the "lifetime tax-free allowance" on pensions, only for it to be confirmed that Keir himself has a "tax unregistered personal pension"? Keir certainly hopes you don't. Remember when he was elected labour leader, stated that "he's maintain our radical values and work tirelessly to get Labour in to power based on the moral case for socialism" and then dog whistled his way rightwards for the next 3 years? Keir certainly hopes you don't. There are considerably more examples. A litany of lies and hypocrisy. A man who the phrase "if you don't like my principles, I have others" was written for.

Finished the second one, good lord what a game. Every bit as enjoyable as the first, and found it way, way more tense while actually playing it (may have been due to remembering bits of the first so kind of knowing what was coming). Completely shat myself the first time I came across those whistling seraphite fuckers. ETA: Oh, and the fucking Infected Megatron as well. Holy shit, that motherfucker booting down the ambulance door was terrifying. The story all the way through was excellent, and I went from absolutely hating Abbey and wishing for her death, to being sympathetic to her and not wanting either her or Ellie to kill each other, and the fact they both got endings (I’d consider the Santa Barbara section to be more of an epilogue with Abbey’s story ending proper in the Theatre) reflecting this. Both realising that revenge and murder was a never ending cycle of misery and letting each other live was perfect. Glad they left it open on where Ellie was going after the house and what happened to her / Dina too. Said above about Ellie’s take on me being an exceptional cut scene, but the entire flashback at the museum, especially Ellie with her birthday present “lift off” recording, was even better. Was cheesing like a kid on Christmas morning the entire way through. The last cutscene with Joel and Ellie just starting to reconcile was fucking beautiful as well. Just a phenomenal story told through a cracking game. They’ll definitely need two series to do it justice.

That’s a top 5 episode in the history of television, and some of the best acting I’ve ever seen. There’s a full 7 episodes left and I’m already dreading this finishing. What a fucking television show.

Can add a little bit of “it’s not fair, they get to be racists, why can’t we be racists? Eh? Eh? Eh? Do you hate free speech or summfink? Eh?” For good measure: Imagine being English and the closest thing you have to centre left politics is the Lib Dems harrowing.

I know it’s not news to anyone, but Faldo really is a complete fud. McGinley is irritating, but at least he’s positive, Faldo somehow manages to simultaneously come across as an arrogant know-it-all and a bitter arsehole. Ruins the coverage any time he’s on.
