  • https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2017/may/28/members-of-manchester-bomber-network-may-still-be-at-large-amber-rudd Finally. It really isn't rocket science. Although 'temporary' exclusion order sounds typically gutless. Shredding of their passp…

  • Jose is different gravy. They are a turgid team and should've been knocked out numerous times before now but they never gave Ajax a sniff. Superbly drilled performance. All these clowns like Wenger and Pep with their 'styles of play' and 'phil…
  • Like a few others have mentioned, normally these celebrity deaths just wash over me but even the eternally cynical Wizard is genuinely moved today. I guess it just goes to show how much we all loved the great man. It was seeing dear old Rog nonch…

  • And how do we feel about the past two or three weeks where there's been pretty much a game a night? Would we like to see this rolled out across this season? Is Saturday still sacrosanct or is TV the biggest motivating factor? Do we want to end…
  • Can someone please explain to me how the TV rights work? I thought you bid for a set package of matches? If that's the case why have Sky saved up their allocation to show every single match going in the last 10 days of the season? Or two weeks…
  • Well come on for the opening sequence of a Bond film a girl should be be in perfect shape and youthful bloom. And given she had a kid at 24 I'm now leaning towards AVTAK or TLD. I've nothing against women over 30 but this is Bondian opening seque…
  • Couldn't think of any better thread to put this and in the current desert of Bond news it's a moderately interesting little titbit about the 'most hated woman in Britain': https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2017/may/13/gina-miller-interview-art…

  • Since Cubby handed over the baton we've had: GE - A decent enough return after 6 years of no Bond films but ultimately little more than a greatest hits package. And let's be honest Cubby probavly put a decent amount of input and guidance into it.…

  • Indeed. Babs seems more interested in doing other projects and gaining critical acclaim these days and not bothered in the slightest if 3, 4 even 5 years go by between Bond films. MGW, after decades of sterling service is past it and deserves …
  • We've royally spunked this. Arsenal have got their usual last 5 games championship form when there's nothing to play for mojo going and we're just about treading water but taking massive gulps of water. It's debatable will we get over the line be…
  • Three pro Corbyn posts in a row!?!?!?!? Can someone please rename this 'The Socialist Worker, Return to the 70s and Diane Abbott for Home Secretary Thread.'
  • Congratulations to Conte because he's been utter class. I thought Italy were the best team in Euro 2016 and were very unlucky with the draw and he's done a fine job tactically at various times during the season especially when you look at the tune h…

  • Two grandstand finishes in the Europa semis but tragically neither Lyon nor Celta could finish it off. it was there for Celta in the 96th minute as well. Just shoot FFS!
  • Just because they got a dwarf to play him doesn't mean it isn't another case of Hollywood whitewashing. I'm outraged. Although in their defence dwarves of Fillipino heritage who can act must be few and far between. Can't wait to see who they get …
  • Jesus. 'Bouncing on my knee' going to go down as a classic quote. Becks whining about not getting a knighthood but he looks nailed on for a Razzie! Calling it now - this will do dismal business just like every Guy Ritchie film since Snatch (Sh…
  • What worries me is that someone at EON signed off on this and we have a case of history repeating itself. Babs or MGW (or both) greenlit the invisible car and the parasurfing when a toddler could tell you that it was a shit idea that should've been …

  • Jesus Christ. Clowns Jurgen and Pep are going to let Wenger sneak it as usual. I can see Arsenal winning the rest from here. The other two will drop points. Just depends on how many.
