If that was a statement from Joe Joyce I don't know what it was a statement of - he makes Frank Bruno look like Naseem Hamed.

Yeah, and the way he kept wrapping his leg around Parker every time he got in the clinch. He looked anything but a former world champ. The laughing was just a bit strange, not sure if it was a tactic but I was praying for Parker to spark him out. Sadly, looks like he did his ankle and had nothing to plant to get the power.

Oh, I think even a Derby split one wouldn't be ideal if the T at the other end is hidden "he Rams C**t"

If you're drilling into plasterboard the best thing you can buy is a stud finder (which should keep the punmeisters amused for at least two pages). If you don't you're at risk of the whole thing ending up on the floor. If you're drilling into Victorian brick you need about three hours, five drills and about six cans of Lucozade to keep you going.

You did Dune 2 twice? Tell me you had a season ticket for the 2007/8 season without telling me you had a season ticket for the 2007/8 season.

Argylle: made by the same team who did Kingsman. If you liked that you will probably like this - doesn't quite have the edge but still a silly waste of two hours. To be fair, I could watch Sam Rockwell read the phone directory and enjoy it, but still. Nigel Callaghan / 10

This is it, dial back a few years and Wilder had just blasted Brezeale out in the first round, while AJ had taken seven. Having taken place in the Garden all the talk was symetriccal for AJs fight a few weeks later when he took on Andy Ruiz. I'm still convinced that Ruiz didn't beat Joshua, Wilder did by getting in his head. I am sure Joey Dawejcko (the sparring partner who apparently flattened AJ in the camp) might have something to say about that but either way AJ is prone to chasing a fight. Big risk this one, you are absolutely right to point out that Ngannou is a beast and there is nothing but money to be gained from this match up for Joshua. I do still think he will win it, but there will be a few scary moments along the way.

Same for crab sticks, that are just pressure washed fish skeletons. Be careful with the Zoe project - sounds like a good idea till you realise your data is theirs. Extract your conspiracy theory as far as you want from there but good luck getting life insurance in twenty years if Zoe sold your data to the provider and they know you're high risk cholesterol levels. As I say, depends on your level of trust but the base fact is that they own all the data they harvest.

This is a good read, collection of short stories from new Irish authors. When I say 'new' it was released in 1996 but still a lovely read of small slices of Irish life. https://www.amazon.com/Feminists-Go-Swimming-Michael-Collins/dp/1857999789

Asteroid City: I love the quirkiness of Wes Anderson films and find the first fifteen minutes utterly uplifting. But then it just seems to be more of the same and I just find myself losing concentration and just wanting them to get on will telling the story. Abdul Camara / 10 Fremont: Film about an Afghan translator now living in California. Filmed in black and white and billed as a comedy. I watched it on a plane and was still tempted to walk out. OK, it wasn't quite that bad, it's just bang average. Paul Trolloppe / 10 Dream Scenario: My absolute pet hate of a film concept, a good idea that they just don't know how to close out. Nicolas Cage is a non-descript lecturer who everybody starts having dreams about. He's actually not that bad, the whole thing is supposed to be an allegory for cancel culture but it just ends up being a story they just don't know how to end so it just fades away, leaving you realise you've wasted two hours of your life.

I think you meant to say you know Tszyu? 🙂 He's his son but they now live in Australia apparently. Hatton beating his dad is one of the most underrated performances by a British boxer I can remember (up there with Khan vs Maidana). Immensely impressive victory but kind of left behind in the Las Vegas element of Hatton's story. Can't imagine their two kids fighting like Benn and Eubank - Campbell wouldn't last 30 seconds.

Dune 2: was made to sit through the first one and ended up enjoying it much more than I expected. But the second one is just so drawn out. Scene after scene of millions of (CGI generated) soldiers swearing feilty to some leader or other while your ears are bombarded with dramatic music. It just goes round in circles and - guess what - leaves you then realizing the story isn't finished so another three hours to sit through to find out the conclusion (at least). Just feels like this all could have fitted more than easily into, maybe, two two hour films rather than three, three hour ones.

Nice precis there. I'm with you on the Fury fight, I think Tyson will spoil all night long and hope the judges just think he dominated a little more. Haney is class, there's just something about it that suggests even at this stage he's a little undervalued - time is on his side of course but he needs a few legacy defining fights along the way. I'd be sad if Bud doesn't do something of interest, he's yet to announce anything and after the way he schooled Spence it's hard to see too many wanting to go near him - even Spence, who let the rematch clause expire. Talk is he may move up a weight with the likes of Thurman or Tim Tszyu waiting for him there.

When I get told that someone has made their success through "sheer hard work" or "not expecting it all on a plate" like they are in complete control of everything that has happened to them. Some people are cleverer than others, some have skills that others don't (which is why nobody - to my knowledge - on here is a professional footballer or a nuclear physicist) but there is one attribute that pretty much defines what life we end up living. Luck! Yes, we have to take advantage of opportunities when they are presented and, yes, some are not best placed to take them when they arrive. But when you get that "if I lived my life a hundred times I'd be a success in every one" kind of mentality I have to have a serious word with myself to not say what I really think. Alongside that, anyone who thinks that their success (or luck) gives them entitlement or rank over others (people being douche bags to waiters for example) really does require some immense self control on my behalf.

Well done, I thought you were going to start talking about the bit with the werewolf ripping out both their throats - that would have spoiled it for everyone.

It's not quite as divided in the book as it is in the film or series. The book is a stonking read btw, sort of a book you plough through by the pool on holiday. Just finished Alice & Jack and enjoyed it a lot. The same point is present there though, hard to see how such a strong bond built between them when they spend the first two thirds of the series finding reasons to hate each other. Ulitmately, it feels like they took every rom com and threw them into a blender - you find yourself going "ah, that's from The Notebook, that's from The Holiday, that's from One Day" but it's a jolly watch for a few hours.

People who take the last pie

Maybe Warne will play Wildsmith at left back against Port Vale?

I know we are all focusing on Cashin last night but the strange thing for me is that NML was having a bang average game and yet we kept punting it out to him, even when Corey Blackett Smith came on. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing again and again and expecting a different result. This team should be so much better than it is, in the like of Cashin, Nelson, NML, Gayle, Hourihane (supposedly), Bird we have stand out players in this league throughout our team. We should be tearing it a new one. And that is not arrogant or "we're a big club in the wrong division" it is just that with these players we should not be letting teams like Wycombe, Charlton, Shrewsbury, Lincoln, Reading take points off us. Currently, we are nowhere near top two quality yet we should be eating this league alive.

I loved the One Day book, devoured it in 24 hours. I'm also in the minority that I liked the film, I just thought it worked and it is exactly my timeline so nostalgia was high. I'm still only two episodes in of Alice and Jack so don't spoil it - if we're three down after twenty minutes tonight I might switch to episode three.

· Edge Of Darkness · Ashes To Ashes (just for the final scene) · Hill Street Blues · Northern Exposure · Star Trek (original series) · Quantum Leap · X Files · Tales Of The Unexpected (till the Americans got hold of it and it turned into Tales Of The Bleeding Obvious) · Boys From The Blackstuff · Our Friends In The North

If you haven't already, give Alice and Jack a try on Channel 4. Angela Riseborough and Dominic Gleeson (plus a robust support from Aisling Bea). Two episodes in and find it so much of what I was hoping to get from One Day. Well scripted, genuine chemistry between the leads, a bit of aching over what a mess they seem to want to make of it all. Well worth it, and I hope it continues in the same vein.

Great soundtrack as well, yes it has some plot holes but far from the worst film you'll see this year.
