Why is Tay Conti now Tay Melo?

Conti was her ex-husband's name

I've just had an email from FITE saying the credits I've accumulated from subscribing to AEW+ are due to expire in the next 14 days.

I have 17, has anyone got any recommendations upcoming that I could use them on so they don't go to waste? 

All Out is already up to order.

They showed Brody jumping Darby at a signing last week (week before maybe?), I'd assume they'll show this too.

I wasn't saying people shouldn't like them or whatever, I was genuinely asking if it's a thing there's still a demand for. I can't think of anyone I know that still listens to them and you don't even really hear them in rock bars around here nowadays. Their fanbase seems to have moved onto FFDP and the likes now.

I'd go see them if they were playing Power Metal in full.

Do that many people even care about Pantera now?

Small world, I've known one half of Penance Stare for yeeeeeears. I've still never managed to catch them live despite the fact that they play all the time up here.

Maybe it's shit because it's in Southport?

It's been reported that's he picked up (another) injury. He takes a dropkick shortly before the end where he hits his head on the landing and looks out of it after that.

Imagine Nash as mayor, on stage talking to his public with a glass of red in hand.

"I got over a million votes"

"There aren't that many people in your constituency"

"There were that night"

JR needs to call it a day, he seemed even more miserable than usual and almost completely killed the fun vibe that Ex/Taz/KK had going.

That was a brilliant show, every match met or surpassed expectations.

Has anyone else received a 20% FITE discount for this? I wonder if sales are slow.

For me, Mercyful Fate would be the only "must watch" on the Saturday. I'd probably watch Dimmu Borgir for old times sake but otherwise that's a very weak lineup for the day.

The amount of articles I’ve read on this that use the words “lawyer Jerry” is playing absolute havoc with my dyslexia.

I'm not even dyslexic and it's confusing me!

One thing that no one has brought up yet is the fact they didn't even bother to start the show with a recap of Punk's announcement. I didn't watch Rampage (although I knew this had happened), so I'd not actually seen any of that. But imagine if you only watched Dynamite, and had missed the announcement? The announcers didn't even explain why they were crowning an interim champion until part way through the battle royale. You'd have been ridiculously confused as to what was going on. 

This again, it's such a weird point and I don't understand why people keep bringing it up.

Imagine watching say, Eastenders. But you only watch 2/3s of the episodes each week and then have a moan because Phil Mitchell hasn't given you a rundown of everything that happened while you didn't watch.

He sells shitloads of merch too, why would you not want him around?

I've just seen this on Reddit, a breakdown of the show from 10:14-10:47:

Player of the season: Joelinton. Remarkable turn around in form, going from derided 'flop' striker to one of the best midfielders in the league. 

Goal of the season: Miguel Almiron against Crystal Palace at home. Tremendous assist from Bruno, great pace and strength by Miggy followed by a top corner finish. Won the game, too. 

Best performance: There have been some really good ones under Howe, but we looked like a proper team doing Arsenal this past Monday. Very encouraging signs for next season.

Worst performance: There were some really bad ones under Bruce, but the home 3-0 loss at home to Chelsea stands out as one of the worse ones. There were some drubbings under Howe initially, too, but he managed to turn it around once he'd had time to work on the squad and implement his own ideas. 

Worst player: Ciaran Clark. Championship-quality player who never looks up for it. He also got that ridiculous red card about eight minutes into a then-crucial home game against Norwich. Liability. 

One to watch: Bruno Guimaraes. What a piece of business he has been. Someone to build the team around going forward. 

Highlight: End of the Mike Ashley era/finally getting rid of Bruce and bringing in Eddie Howe. Also pretty incredible that we managed to survive and get comfortably mid-table, considering the position we were in when Howe came in. January signings helped, yes, but we were without Callum Wilson for basically all of our good run and Trippier got injured a few games in. The others we signed, like Dan Burn, Chris Wood and Matt Targett (on loan) were hardly bank-breaking superstar signings. 

These are exactly the choices I was going to make, aside from Clark because I had blocked that shitarse from my memory. So I'll go for Lascelles, the defence has improved immeasurably since he stopped getting picked for every game.

I'm just reminded of this meme:

Fabricunt covering himself in glory once again: https://www.thepoke.co.uk/2022/05/18/michael-fabricant-doubled-down-on-his-tweet-about-the-rape-arrest-mp-and-there-are-no-words/

Quality end to the season at home we looked great and that was probably the worst I've ever seen Arsenal against us. Happy to see Joelinton voted player of the season today too, I don't think I've ever seen such a turnaround in quality and performances by a player here.

Conflicted about the next game. We're still in with a chance of finishing in the top half, but I'd not mind losing to Burnley if it means Everton go down instead.

I was hoping this was leading to Men of the Year split and feud, so that's disappointing. Hopefully they're not going to try and make Sammy face again too.

Good to see Statlander has made it into the tournament, I reckon she's a decent shout to win it.

I was tempted to see Mgla as I haven't seen any black metal in years but apparently they're very close friends with a pedo frost Nazi... Typical.

Seen them twice and they've bored me senseless both times, you're not missing anything.

Salad isn't even that cheap and doesn't last long either.
