there's two different variations on the meaning then. I dunno, I have no issue with strong female characters in a number of films when done well (didn't enjoy it particularly but hunger games was an example of this) but that star wars one was just silly.

It's the removal of any character flaws from a female character (in this case also hopelessly overpowering said female character) usually in a token bid to seem 'feminist' friendly. Unfortunately it tends to ruin the story/character development. I also think it suggests that writers have a hard time envisioning strong female characters who are actually relateable.

They definitely Mary sue'd the girl in the latest one, it was cringe inducing. I think the trailer for the new one looks awesome though.

I've been with Vodafone for years and agree they're good on that front. I ordered a new phone from them that didn't come because it went out of stock/sale the day I picked it and they upgraded me to a top of the line newer version as an apology for the inconvenience. Downside is that you get random sales calls from then though.

Holy fuck is that a thing? It's bound to be I guess...

Remember that time he tackled Mitrovic to prevent a certain goal? For us. All the spooned shots, the fear of having to do something, anything that required ability. In fairness he has a decent cross on him sometimes but that's the only thing I can think of. He runs a lot but I don't recall that ever leading to anything useful.

So they didn't get Ulloa and Naismith in the end? Fucking shambles of a window with the exception of Januzaj...

Levy has totally fucked this one up. Subs bench by the end of the year. Sold/loaned by Jan next year.

So true.

Good God that was painful to read... I'm sure some of that is right but the idea that they can script a human interaction like that and people will just expect it to work somehow makes me depressed for humanity.

I recall with iPlayer back in the day that if I bought a movie through it, it wouldn't allow my laptop to hmdi connect to my tv and play the film. It prevented it fullscteening up to the tv. It didn't do this for any good reason, so I assume it must be something like what HF sets out here. I googled solutions but simply found that many people had the same problem. I don't know if it's related but I've never used iPlayer since and religiously avoid Apple products. If they aren't going to play nice with other products they can fuck off.

Happy Birthday, mate!

Very generous.

Is that true? After his first two games?? Surely not...

Feeling pretty confident about the rest of the season now. Brighton looked decent by Cship standard but we still eased past them - I suppose the sending off is the only doubt as they could have 'revived' without it, but had our two main forwards played we'd have been far more comfortable anyway. Roll on the next game.

It's definitely just us, isn't it.

I wonder if other fan groups have arguments about the justification behind the sending off of players on the other team...

For a single booking I'd agree with ewerk, but for a second yellow where he'd only committed one previous foul (albeit a bookable one) - I dunno, it's probably correct following the letter of the law but as with so many things, there's room for interpretation in the guidelines on most things otherwise we'd see multiple penalties every game for shirt pulling at corners. I'd have been pissed off had it happened to one of ours.

Just checked the table to see where the other PL relegation teams are. Norwich are ok but what the fuck are Villa up to exactly?

Ah fair enough - agree on everything else, was positive. Knew Brighton were nothing to worry about Just wish I hadn't doubted myself on the predictor...

We give away far too many free kicks like...

Lua Lua looks handy for winning free kicks and so on...
