Linoluem - wow, this is a tough one to describe. Little bit Donnie Darko, little bit Inside Number 9 (one particular episode), little bit The Notebook, little bit A Man Called Otto. Plot is that an out of sorts scientist suddenly finds a lot of weird things going on around him and tries to piece them all together, at the same time as trying to work out what to do with a booster rocket that has landed in his garden.
It's very gentle and rolling, pitched as sci-fi comedy but in reality is neither. If you like small town America movies, with a bit of mid-life angst and soul searching thrown in then it's a good watch. Doesn't quite end as strongly as you would like but it's a good feel good choice. Yeah, give it a go.
So pick your player who you didn't expect much from but was actually good value even if their career ended in not quite the same highlights as the middle, then rate him out of ten and that's what I give it.

Hmm so it's a Chrissy Martin 6/10....

Shouldn't this be "lesbian chickens"? Otherwise you'll make a c0ck of yourself.

As above but I would cut down a rawplug, glue that in place with no more nails or equivalent. Screw can bite on the rawplug even if it only a few mills deep better than just on glue which is more likely to crack when screwed.

We don't need no thought control

Joyce's piddle must be at boiling point, he wins the fight but Dubois gets the title shot. Boxing of today in a nutshell. Fury should take Joyce after he gets past Zhang. It would be a boring cuddlefest but Fury would tap out the jabs needed, and keep the head moving enough, to win it on points. He then gets to claim he took on the biggest danger out there, stops AJ building momentum by taking that one ahead of him and can claim a big domestic payday.

Amir Khan - what an absolute plonker. He had one last fight, which was nothing more than a personal beef, and he went and blew his entire legacy for that. Now instead of being remembered as that Olympic hero, the guy who beat the likes of Maidana, Zab Judah, Malignaggi and Barrera he'll always be the drug cheat. Silly boy!

I think most of them are on gear. I mean, in your 20s you are in peak physical condition with natural testosterone levels at their highest. Boxers are athletes. It’s harder to keep the weight off (fat) when in your 30s.
But putting on 10 pounds of muscle, jumping from a natural 135 to 147 or from a natural 160 to 175 when in your 30s and still looking ripped and same body fat % is impossible without gear.
Look at Usyk as a prime example of how to do it properly. He moved from Cruiserweight to Heavyweight but if you look at his body, he has put on size but it’s proportionately correct in terms of muscle and fat. He looks softer at heavyweight and less muscle defined because a bulk of the weight he has put on is fat.
Yet Manny Pacquiao and Canelo are two examples of boxers moving through the weight classes while keeping the same body fat percentage. That is clearly a red flag. That Canelo failed a drugs test and it has been swept under the carpet because he is boxing’s cash cow says a lot about the sport.

Wife and daughter love it - since they changed the format (you're not actually an Apprentice any more, he just invests in your business, so maybe title should be changed to The Investment) it's fundamentally flawed. They get to the interviews, someone gets their business plan ripped apart and you sit and think (or rather you don't because you've long since given up) "well if you knew the business plan was pony why did you let them go through ten weeks of trials making a new flavour lollipop to force onto kids in shopping centres". Makes no sense.

Today's Big Match revisited from 1980 on ITV4 yielded the following:
Todd and Gemmill playing for Birmingham 🥲
Don Masson playing for Notts County
Rod Thomas playing for Cardiff
And the shape of things to come with Rob Hindmarch playing for Sunderland and Trevor Christie for Notts County. With an interview with promoted Birmingham manager Jim Smith moaning about only drawing their game.
 

I think he was at the burger van ordering a double cheeseburger with fries

It seems someone has now changed the Wiki page to 29 in 23 which would, indeed, put him 1 ahead of Bloomer. I had already contacted myfootballfacts pointing out their error, seems I'll have to amend my comments to them pointing out 10th place is correct but they've transposed the goals and games data.

Just going by the stats...
352 goals in 599 matches in 2 spells with Derby and one with M'boro in between at an average of a goal every 1.7 matches.
28 goals for England in 23 matches, that's 1.21 goals per game. That's a record that doesn't look like it would ever get broken by anybody making a minimum of 10 games for England.
Averages like that he'd be £200M+ these days. 
Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you, Steve Bloomer.

Woodward did worse than Bloomer with regard to goals and games. He got 23 in 29 games for England between 1903 and 1911 @ 0.8 goals per game. Bloomer 28 in 23 games between 1895 and 1907 @1.21 goals per game.
At club level Bloomer scored 352 in 599 games. 1 goal every 1.7 games. Woodward scored 97 in 244. 1 goal every 2.5 games 
myfootballfacts seems to have this wrong.

I would have left him there and played on. I would also send off any player who goes down holding their head to deliberately get the game stopped when the opposition are breaking away only to have a bit of a leg rub by the trainer, as happened in our last game or possibly the one before that at Pride Park. I would also tell a player whose shoe lace miraculously becomes undone to do it up whilst the game is going on or off the pitch. If a  goalkeeper is deliberately wasting time I would award an indirect free kick from the penalty spot. That would soon stop it. Does my head in. I am appalled by what I have seen this year, I genuinely thought this league would have been played by men with a modicum of self respect but apparently not. 

I think you have to look at the officials who let him get away with it.

Not even a good crawl...I've seen babies crawl better than that 😁

Well that Okolie fight is an hour of my life I'm not getting back. I know he's awkward, I know he's fast but Jeez he's boring to watch.

What an example of this in the England game vs Italy midweek. Harry Kane takes a ball to the ribs from a corner, falls and ends up off the pitch. Then crawls back onto the pitch before collapsing and needing medical attention. Just pathetic!

Just back from Rebellion 2022 - rocking affair. They had an extra stage this year on the front and loaded it with, well let's just say more accessible bands. Hardcore punk is a riot but four days of it gets a bit much. Some great acts on the new stage - Squeeze, Billy Bragg, Hollie Cook, Skids, Gary Numan, The Stranglers - to just give a bit more to go for than good old fashioned "1-2-3-4".
I also did some housekeeping while there
