The Vikings sat out their entire O for the shoot out last night 😬

Didn't it happen at Man U? Must have been close.

You'd probably do better with Xhamster.

We have watched the first one, and it was brilliantly well done Very harrowing, and you're right, Firth is excellent. What channel?

The Rams are looking pretty good from where I'm sitting at the moment.

Totally agree. There are thousands of cash poor people caught up in this. Way more than there are cash rich people. it's a real humanitarian crisis and people are condemning Californian officials based on the most rudimentary and superficial knowledge of Californian laws trawled from right of centre media outlets. It's preposterous. I lived in the US for 14 years, still follow US politics very closely, have a bunch of friends in California (one of whom lives in the Palisades) and a bunch more clients. But I still don't feel like I can offer a valid opinion. Other than on a human level This cheap political points scoring makes me 🤮

One episode to go of the second season of SAS Rogue Heroes. I thought the start was slow and just more of the same from season one. In fact, call me a heretic, but I thought it was a mistake to make Jack/Paddy the main character. But it's got better and better, and I think his portrayal is clever and more nuanced than I initially thought. Jack obviously taps into Billy Davies of 2007 when giving one of those 'help me, I'm lost, scared, and I don't know what I'm doing, but I still need to look scary' looks that Paddy occasionally gives when his guard is down. Poignant, violent, more historically accurate than the intro would have you believe and enough to stiffen the sloppiest of English lips and then make it quiver again.

It's the same in Florida. Mostly wooden homes lived in by nonplussed people.

We finally got around to watching The Holdovers at the weekend. What an utterly splendid film, as I think others here have said. Paul Giamatti was perfectly cast as the school teacher *babysitting* some students who couldn't get home for various reasons during the Christmas holiday. After 15 minutes, I was suspicious that it would run out of steam, but it absolutely didn't, and it's thoroughly heart-warming. I was going to call it a gentle comedy, but it's not really a comedy per see, but it made us smile a lot. Steve Powell (on his debut)/10

They're using the right letters, just in the wrong order.

It sounds grim, but what team in the bottom half of this division wouldn't be in serious trouble if you took their two best players out?

Why do I hear so many ex-players say he's doing a good job at Derby? Every Sky commentary I hear that. Are they all lying? Or do none know as much as people like you? Why are there so many teams that struggle to get a promotion even once in a decade, yet Warne manages to attain them frequently? Is it not true that he has got teams to overperform at a lower level and then been hamstrung with no money when he's gone up a level? Maybe more League One and Two teams should hire average PE teachers.

100% agree. It could have been 5-5 today. If you took out the goals and showed the other 88+ minutes to 100 football supporters, most would have been unsure who won the game. Derby created enough chances to have won today, even after conceding 4. Squad wise we probably are a bottom third, maybe a bottom quarter team, and that is what we're seeing.
