The Fish

Use graphs and charts, man. Women love that.

Did it? Jesus Christ, feel like it was out when I was at Uni. High probability I'm confusing it with another similar film. Maybe Man on Fire?

I know it won't be to everyone's taste, and Avengers Infinity War is perhaps a better standalone movie. But Endgame was a good movie, with a load of fan service thrown in, felt like a worthwhile culmination of 21 movies.

Depends if we're talking about favourite films, or if we're talking about greatest films. Favourites, or ones that I can rewatch endlessly Godfather 1 & 2 Aliens Avengers: Endgame (fuck you all) 12 Angry Men Back to the Future Die Hard Matrix Good Will Hunting Any Given Sunday Dark Knight Jurassic Park

That's not Old School, that's Gold School.

Ok, calm down. We've not yet played our first choice back line.

Him and Joelinton couldn't swing for shit.

They definitely weren't just going along with you so they could hurry up and get back to work without being rude, right?

not at all, we've got all the white Evoques we need round here. As much as Bramhall has more than enough cunts, Alderley Edge has more.

I'd agree if she'd been made baroness of Wythenshawe, but Alderley Edge is very... her.

She'll fit right into the rest of the trophy wife/mistress clique in Alderley Edge.

This one? No chance. He's a great kid, but there's not a hint of precocious genius there, bless him. Saying that though, he has a basic understanding of how animals evolve over generations to adapt to their environment. "Woolly mammoths got too hot so they turned into Elephants." Parenting? Completed it mate.

Way I see it, there'll be one kid born who'll come up with an idea to fix the planet, or come up with a way to organise the people into eating the rich.

We could eat the rich?

It's a guarantee.

Dunno if it's the weather or whatever but I can feel the first jangles of a wave of anxiety/depression. Struggling to focus, have a jittery energy, kind of catastrophising everything, pushing back deadlines etc. So basically, if I a moody cunt over the next week/month, I fucking warned you.

We've got the Geordie Maradona, we don't need Mbappe.

Can't think of many taxes that have been applied punitively that've worked as intended, without entirely foreseeable side effects.

Didn't I see something about Spurs being interested in signing him?

From what I've seen, way too much is being made of that challenge. It will take him a while to get used tot he league, but frankly every time he's bundled off the ball, or Barnes doesn't beat a man, or our next signing fails to do something it'll be jumped on. We did so well in our first few windows, any perceived misstep will be held up as some kind of proof that those windows were flukey or something.

Sports Washing.

I want to be clear, I like ASM, I've loved watching him play in Black and White, I've loved him taking the piss on the pitch and twitter and all that. But he's just the most saleable, least integral player in the squad. My issue has been the fetishisation of him. He's mint, but he's not the fucking Messiah. He'll give me as much joy with his goals and step-overs on some BEin highlight show, and those will be as integral to our season as they were when he was here under Howe. Give it 3 or 4 seasons and we might buy another player with his talent, who'll dance around opponents, and twist defenders' blood, but then also do the rest of the work too.
