I'd like Crouch for similar reasons. He might not play loads, but he should bring some seniority and focus to the dressing room.

I think, in a lot of ways, I already am.

iTunes, bitch. I think we're the first hit if you search "NUFC Podcast".

They'll struggle in December, but I wouldn't be surprised if they bring in a few players in the January window. They've "only" spent £2m ish in the summer. Podcast is free

If Everton are interested we could take a financial hit on the transfer and get a better deal on the Galloway loan?

Yeah, I think/hope Fergus was just being contrary.

They've been bottom half since they were promoted in 2012. Wagner is a student of Klopp and they'v bought a couple of German players who're used to that focussed energy pressing game (gegenpressing), they've also picked upa couple of domestic players who've got the energy levels to play it. Nakhi Wells is a decent striker at this level and I like van La Parra (even though he's apparently the halfbrother of a certain gutless Dutch midfielder who fucked off to Liverpool).

They're going to do a lot better than people expected.

Quite the idiocracy we're living in.

Helps that Rafa's not letting them take days off like McClaren apparently did.

Isn't it a combination of money, and the inspirational "success" of Boardman, Hoy, Wiggins etc.?

Preacher is all right, not great but ok. Be interesting to see what happens for next season because the female lead is in a movie that's likely going to be in the running for awards, will she want to be in a tv show with a kid who's got a face like this;

You know on Twitter, there's a piece of software that tells you how many of an account's followers are actual people and not spambots/dead/fake accounts; I wonder if his subscribers are legit? Mind you I suppose if he gets paid on views, rather than subscriptions it doesn't really matter?

I'd be the only "vlogger" owing Youtube money .

Fuck off! Really?!

I suppose it might be nice for Siem to have some company?

Because you think that people are too bothered about the number of followers?

Apparently not, stopped following me though.

I told him to do the same thing on twitter.

Caulkin has poo pooed that Palace link, I think.

That'll be a shame. Not that he goes, but that he'll likely sully the work he did by failing to evolve with the rest of the league. End of the day his obstinacy has cost them titles. If, instead of spunking tens of millions of lightweight attacking midfielders, sign a midfield destroyer like Kante, a big lump up front like Romelu Lukaku and a dominant centre half. I know that looks like I'm over-simplifying it, but Arsenal have the funds, the attractiveness and the scouting network to get it done, surely?

I think Renton would like the comic if he read it. But he won't.

Well not really, they have child friendly ratings because the studios believe that they can make more money selling to a huge market (PG), than they can a restricted one (R/18). It's marketed towards kids because they can sell cartoons, toys, t-shirts, mugs, games off the back of them, and they won't get the same revenue streams from an 18. To dismiss comicbook movies' content as "for kids" is a bit silly given the themes and tone of quite a lot of the medium. The backstories of a lot of the heroes are bleak and many of the characters are damaged & conflicted. However, they wear spandex and punch their problems in the mouth, so I'm not going to bother trying to convince you that there's depth to them if you choose to read more about them. In your 2nd sentence you describe what you want from a movie. The factors you're after aren't likely to be in an action movie, let alone a comicbook movie. They're going to be in a Mike Leigh movie. I don't understand complaining that Captain America: the First Avenger isn't as worthy and cerebral as something like Tyrannosaur, of course it's not. Bad Boys III is pre-production, as if Fast & Furious 8, I'm sure there'll be emotional intelligence in them
