Surprised bookies are taking bets tbh. Smells like a fix. It shouldn’t be happening because amateurs shouldn’t box professionals and people shouldn’t box at all at Tyson’s age in a competitive fight. I saw some footage of Jake Paul ‘sparring’. The other bloke wasn’t even trying to hit him and he looked shite. I’ve never seen a proper boxer lead with their head. Any half decent amateur would fucking murder him

Both!

Trump poking the hornets’ nest

It’ll be less packaging and/or space taken up. To save money

He’s a rotter who looks like an otter

I would say that, as a player, he’s about as good as Beckenbauer’s hair was at Italia 90.

I was pretty convinced he was the killer anyway but I think part 3 finally put any doubts to bed.

Reads a bit like that time they made Chez Given a moderator

Still don’t see where he’d have fitted into the system Howe plays. And he doesn’t strike me as being good enough to make the manager change it

It’s become a bit like rugby union after they allowed multiple subs and certain players are specifically ’finishers’ ie purely in the squad to play the last 1/3 or 1/4 of the match. He seems to be in that category.

Two two-legged European ties in their entire history, man. But a cup final and Champions League qualification = achieving nowt

The Armies by Evelio Rosero is a good read if you like that Colombian magical realism style like the above

Like clockwork

It was a reference to Mugrighter General btw. But

Didn’t realise it until we had the benefit of hindsight. But for all its organisational shortcomings, the poor football in many matches and the problems with corruption, etc. Italia 90 was the last proper World Cup.

Need Stevie back to fix those

Best Klopp moment was the interview where he said to a former professional footballer (Nedum Onuoha): I’m not sure if you’ve played football (or similar). Onuoha had asked a perfectly reasonable and inoffensive question and the response was Klopp being a cunt just because his team hadn’t won the match. Absolutely sums him up.

Is he the one who was photographed shaking hands with the mackem who is a fellow member of the Tommy Robinson fan club?

That and he took SMB good and proper

Will have a proper listen later. Cheers. That ‘Long Dark Tunnel’ sample off the jungle track Valley of the Shadow by Origin Unknown pops up in a few places. It’s from an episode of QED in the 80s about out of body experiences. That particular one is a woman talking about hers and meeting her deceased grandfather. It’s years after the event but she’s adamant it actually happened. The history of how stuff came to be used is interesting too. The sample of the Loon (North American water bird) got used on loads of tunes. Probably most famously on Pacific State. As it was one of the pre-sets on a popular sampler/synthesiser

What about Stars on 45?

Was just about to come on here to post about that. The first series was actually based on the first two books about Cromwell, not just Wolf Hall. So this will be the final series. The first one was fucking superb like. Rylance in particular. Honourable mention to the late Bernard Hill who was brilliant, not to mention hilarious, as the Duke of Norfolk

Well, they did come to that conclusion by and large

They think they’re so fucking morally superior
