This Town - Bit of a slow-burner and not what I was expecting at all, but sometimes not knowing something makes for nice surprises and this series ended so strongly there surely has to be more to come.
I won't say too much in case folk are still watching it, just that it's definitely worth sticking with if, like me, you should encounter an early wobble. A mainly young cast, visibly grows into the series and I'm already intrigued to see where they'll take it next. Blinding soundtrack too!

Ah, the romance of the cup. So poignant until a ball is kicked and then - 99% of the time - it just becomes a game between two teams, one of which is clearly better than the other.
Anyone remember Milwall getting to the final? Portsmouth? Fulham? Nope - because we think that Wimbledon, Wigan and Sunderland are how it always is even though out of >50 finals in my lifetime only 2-3 have been anywhere near like this. Same logic goes for all the games in prior rounds - for every Hereford, Sutton or Maidstone there is an endless supply of 3-0 and 4-1 boreathons.
And the Tooth Fairy doesn't exist, Disneyland is just there to separate you from your money, Easter Bunny is just marketing and Valentines Day only benefits florists.
Thank you!

Daytime telly ones that offer you chance to get cremated or write your will. But the absolute worst are the charity ones, "just £1000 a month could give Charlie the hamster the new wheel he needs for his cage". I don't challenge the cause, it's the sugary tug at my (all too absent) heart strings that I find just so hackneyed and repetitive. Someone, somewhere must be able to do a charity ad that isn't backed by violins?

It's a shame he wasn't given more time. He inherited a mess and in my opinion should have been given more time. 
I've seen the movie about Brian Clough. I'm downloading the Paul Jewell one. 

We are a generous bunch us Ramkind, such generosity almost bought a tear to my eye.

Trying to figure out why her gender is relevant here, that is the box you are referring as being ticked?
You are aware that all other referees are male and have been making bad decisions week in week out since the dawn of the game, yet their gender is never relevant in the aftermath. 
It's those poor decisions which has led to the introduction of VAR, which again has made some terrible decisions even with all this technology by a bunch of men sat in a room together.
I haven't seen what happened yesterday, assuming you are correct and it was a ludicrous decision, it won't be her first nor her last, likewise with every referee in the game.
If your first thought however is to come here and moan about a woman making one bad decision out of how many correct decisions over a 90 minute game of football, does come across as a bit Joey Barton like.

Agree with that, it had good closure and a 'rise - fall - rise again' story was always going to take three seasons. They did well to stop it when they did and most of the comments about it dropping in quality only really came about as soon as we knew it was ending.
