Michael Mellon, the Burnley striker, has been on loan in Scotland.
Bet he’d prefer the Championship.
Great prospect at 20.
 

Nice 'problem' tbf. Really liked both. 

I was there on his debut and whilst he was physically bullied around you could see the ability and quiet determination.
It's the saddest i've been to see a player go since Bobby D.  

Always bugged me that some people couldn’t see what he brought to the side because the goals and assists numbers weren’t the same as others. 
It was clear watching football matches that he was our most impressive midfielder and had been for some time. He just needed someone next to him to complement him and although they both played important roles at points this season I don’t think Hourihane or Smith were that complement.

Wasn’t that the plot of Equus?

We love a Tyreese don’t we? 😊

I haven’t seen anything from Elder to suggest he’s a Championship player. Looks a bang average squad player to me.

Trafford is young and not yet strong enough. He’s undoubtedly a good shot stopper but he’s terrible on crosses.
Premier League teams have exploited this and Kompany has rested him.

I should've been clearer.

I wasn't commenting about his ability, never mind his potential. My critique was aimed at the video and its poor editing. Scouting-wise YouTube videos are only good for checking the shooting technique so not worth much.

Four episodes in and it’s really tense stuff.

This would be an exciting start to the transfer shenanigans.
A young exciting prospect in an area on which we lack a bit of cover. I think it’s likely that we will start with wing backs and we need someone dynamic on each wing. 
If we can get him for a reasonable price, there seems to be a good chance his value will escalate.

I can’t imagine the determination needed to make it in comedy and comedy writing when you have a condition like cerebral palsy.
Rosie Jones seems to be very popular in the industry but she has perhaps been on too many programmes in a short space of time and that sometimes grates no matter who the entertainer is.
Like all comedy acts, she will divide opinion. 

 

I went to see Romesh Ranganathan last night at The Plymouth Pavilions. It's  a 75 minute drive and the worst comedy venue in the Western Hemisphere, but it was well worth it.
Never seen him live before, but he was great value, and there was rarely a smile off my face.
I didn't quite know what to expect as I haven't watched any of his sitcoms and have only seen him do a smattering of stand-up.
Opening up with a joke about being trolled on Twitter by Laurence Fox and his racist mates was brilliant, with a great use of the C word.
At one stage, Mrs Badger turned to me after he made one acerbic comment and said, 'That's you'. That's probably why I liked him so much. Athough, rather confusingly, it doesn't explain why she thought he was great too, when I seldom get more than an eye roll.

There were lots of jokes about hypocrisy (mainly his own), wanting to stay in and watch TV rather than socialise, and preferring his wife had swung with a couple at a party than drunkenly agreeing to go on holiday with them to Portugal, which he did.
He is the Victor Meldew of Sri Lankan comedy and I think a lot in t his group would like him.
Just not the fellas who lean slightly more to the right.
Not only would I go and see him again, I'd even drive to that **** hole, Plymouth to do so. Rare praise.
He did quite a long set, too, with no warm-up and an intermission.
I thought Tom Allen was brilliant and he may just about have shaded it.
9/10
James Acaster in two weeks.

Joel Randall of Peterborough would be on my list. Clever attacking midfield player who is still improving at 24.

Anyone tried The Tattooist of Auschwitz yet?
Two episodes in and it hasn’t disappointed. One to gird your loins for as it doesn’t shrink from some of the horrors.
Harvey Keitel is excellent as the old man narrating his (true) story.
