So Bray’s just gone full Worzel then I see?

When they were talking about Shida pronouncing "women".

Watched it back just now and I don't think any of them are particularly doing a 'voice' per se - Shida definitely does say 'women' in an unusual way in the VT and I think that's all there is to it. Wouldn't read too much into it.

I think my favourite part about that episode is that it just felt fun! Whether it's my own perceptions or biases against the writer, or perhaps the overall aesthetic seeming dark (TARDIS interior, opening titles etc.) so little of Jodie's run felt fun. I'd rather not go into the Timeless Child or all that because it just makes me sulky and upset, but at least this one felt like a big jaunt. Which, ultimately, a children's scifi TV show should.

I can't get over how much his new mask looks like the Green Goblin from the Spider-Man musical:

what's he said?

He’s been saying how Roman Reigns isn’t really solid, he just looks big and muscular.

In other words, he’s trying to get back into MMA broadcasting.

Pretty much. He split up with his wife last year so there were rumours linking him to some other person whose name I didn't recognise. Rather than ignore this tabloid bullshit or even call it out, he instead sent a tweet saying he's gay. Puyol immediately responded and got in on said 'joke' by suggesting they were in fact together.

Unsurprisingly, Casillas has now claimed he was hacked. I don't know if Puyol has come up with a similar genius excuse to defend their general farcical pisstaking, but I imagine they're going to suddenly discover the same hacker just happened to be on both of their accounts in that specific short time period, tweeting in a very similar manner to how they both usually tweet, before quickly being discovered and surrendering the accounts to their absolutely not homophobic rightful owners.

edit: yeah that ⬆️

Big Boss Man debut and will win the Championship Rumble according to Meltzer

"Isn't he dead, Dave?"

'Well look, I mean, I can't find the sheet with it on right now, but you know. Plans change. Who knows.'

Bump:

Like him, hate him, whatever you think about him, I think one thing has become very clear - this is absolutely Triple H's WWE now. Like he said in that interview with Ariel Helwani over the Clash at the Castle weekend; he's just doing what he wants to see as a fan, with little or no regard for much else. And while I might not agree with everything he's doing, or even understand whether there is business sense to it, there's no question that this is his vision played out on the big stage. Bit of a shame his mate's not around to shout 'WAR GAMES!' mind you.

Can someone summarise for me

I’m not sure anyone can, as yet. I’m sure it won’t stop Meltzer and co. from speculating though.

Exactly this, except Ospreay did two cartwheels and a backflip when told to get out.

Liverpool winning 9-0. No Salah goal or assist.

I had to remove a Liverpool player this week to make way for Rodrigo, who was sure to score.

Don't worry, I didn't get rid of Salah. I disposed of the far more dispensable Luis Diaz instead.

Pardew in there talking about head butting David Meyler pissed me off all over again. Acting as if he’s done nothing wrong when he’s supposed to be the man in control. The arrogance of the man knows no bounds. Typical behaviour of The King.

What an utterly terrible idea to announce it less than two months before the actual event. I absolutely adored the event at the Olympic venue last time and planned an entire weekend around it. For this one, I already have weddings and other events to go to so won’t be able to attend. Wouldn’t be surprised if that is the case for a lot of people.

"It’s a man's game all of a sudden now."

Yes, that's Karen Carney, who Souness was sitting next to while giving his statement quoted above. This was her immediate reaction.

Quite remarkable. Pleased for Steven Hammell as he was a mainstay of my teams on Championship Manager 4.

In my naivety I wondered if James McFadden would have gone for the job, was there ever any discussion around that or is he comfy on the couch next to other Berti Vogts call-ups?

Their fans had travelled but lots of them had left before half time. 

In all seriousness, must be shite for the Dundee United fans who travelled. I did suspect they wouldn't see it through but this was like Berti Vogts in a European Championship playoff levels of collapse. Particularly cruel, I thought, was the way the broadcasters took the time to send someone outside to film the fans leaving as the game continued on about the 75min mark. Just a further indictment of the sheer gap between the SPFL Premiership and its European counterparts.

Jack Ross's teams usually have a good start then burn out, but this is record time.

Bastard hard as you got to the latter stages, even when you promoted your pigs. The final level on the Isle of Swill is absolute torture if you do it the conventional way. 

I didn't know anyone who ever won it fair and square. Weird thing though - there's a glitch/cheat which promotes your pigs which I discovered by complete accident! I still remember it happening and being flabbergasted - basically, it involved going into a multiplayer game with some sort of FMV cheat on, which then rebooted the game back into the single player, except suddenly all your players had been turned into Commandos.

Wanted to write into PlayStation Power magazine about it but never got around to bothering - email wasn't prevalent at the time and fuck writing a letter.

That, though, was another game bought through the famous and previously mentioned OPM demo discs. One multiplayer game with 'madness gas' on was all it took for me to persuade Grandma to part with her money at Toys R Us.

Season 3 is on Disney+ as of today. I watched the first episode with the kids this morning.

Naturally I’m already a blubbering mess and it’s not even half past nine.

Not sure anything will outdo losing 3-0 on aggregate to a club your own youth team managed to beat a mere four years ago, but I guess at least it’ll pile more embarrassment onto the state of Scottish football at a European level.

So I watched a Scott the Woz video yesterday that, in amongst other things, recommended an HD output device for the Gamecube. I've searched around and the only site I can see that's selling it is here:

https://gamesconnection.co.uk/products/gchd-hdmi-hd-converter-for-gamecube

and that's listed as on 'back order' which probably means it isn't coming back. So does anyone else have an alternative option? Amazon is recommending one that's about half that price but the reviews look dicey. I tried to plug the console into our telly a few weeks ago but the screen was all washed out on the composite cable. 

Already gone for a -4 on my FPL team. Had a hand hovering over the Wildcard but decided against it this time. Haaland did the business but there's Zinchenko, sitting there on the bench with his +12 while Perisic made his inevitable short cameo to deny my substitution

We just watched the, “Sleepytime,” episode. I’m an absolute mess

Mate, tell me about it. I literally cry every time I watch it. My eighteen month old daughter thinks I'm nuts.

CBeebies Blueyites (could that be a thing?) will be delighted to know it's Stumpfest tomorrow morning. A particular favourite among the dads.
