City backup keeper?

The lame game sequel was created by a different person (Neil druckman who retrospectively claimed all the credit for the original when it was actually Bruce straley and to a lesser extent the excellent Amy hennig). I believe a lot of the second season is faithful to the game, the problem is the game was substantially worse than the first one.

You don't remember all the shit about ellie saying she would be a dad? And the cringe sex scenes? Like you say though lots of other reasons it was shit too. I thought Bella ramsay was terribly miscast for both seasons tbh and Pablo pascal is in absolutely everything nowadays.

I'll console myself with the fact that they won't all be going. In a worst case scenario I reckon we keep two of Jander, Charles, Scienza and THB. Get some decent replacements in and we will be fine. Still likely to have Peretz, Bree, Stephens, Manning, Downes, Azaz, Fellows, Bragg, Matsuki, Larin and Dobbin

Hmm. I'm not so confident in Scienza staying after that. Looks to me like he's off.

Because he's more of a vocal leader than Stephens and it may persuade him to stay. He also seems like a player who thrives with that responsibility and he is likely to play more games than Stephens if he stays. I'd make Stephens club captain like Kelvin was.

I'd be astounded if we were prepared to take a loss on THB.

Mods can you put signed for Blackburn in the title?

I was going to say he's never heard about the legend of Jan Koller!

Then you'd go to any number of other northern clubs with better prospects.

Tonda is only going to be the manager for another three days so it won't matter what he thinks....

I've been wrong when predicting football before but I'd suggest it would be very unlikely that we would sell our best player to a direct rival in this league without the money being huge. £40 million might do it and I can't see them thinking that was worth it.

Some more recent tv and movie examples (some I watched with relatives as not my cup of tea generally!) Female Ghostbusters 2016 The god awful joker sequel Live action Snow White Almost all the new Star Trek media (admittedly I didn't watch all of it) The Rings of Power - terrible and only watched season one. The Last of Us season 2 (TBF I stopped watching some of that was awful) Newer Star Wars films and TV shows generally apart from Andor and season one of the Mandalorian. The cringe woman scene in Avengers End game- didn't ruin the film for me but was incredibly cringe. I'm told that a lot of the recent Marvel stuff is bad but I haven't watched it myself so can't judge I've never watched a single moment of it but I'm told by a cousin that Doctor Who was the absolute worst offender for it. The latest Indiana Jones film I accept some of that is personal preference and everyone has different levels of tolerance for that sort of thing. I can't say I've enjoyed anything out of Star Wars apart from Andor for years for example and it wasn't just because of the messaging or casting choices though that didn't help. On the other hand I think things are changing for some films. Whilst I didn't love it, the Backrooms film was notable because it starred a black guy as the bad guy- something that has been rather rare in films in recent years.

I could think of no reason why any player would join Blackburn at the moment over Southampton. Would be a genuinely astonishing move which is why I think it is bollocks.

But it can be difficult to enjoy a piece of media without rolling your eyes when you see a very blatant and ham fisted attempt to shove diversity into something or to promote a particular type of political message. I'm not saying that's the case here but there are plenty of examples from the past decade that were just unnecessary and for me ruined some perfectly good media.

Would we accept a 25 million pound offer from West Ham for THB? That seems rather unlikely to me.

I guess the main thing is the motivation for doing so. If it's genuinely just the best actors for the job then I don't see the issue. Often it's heavy handed and done for Oscar eligibility or to push an agenda and that's when it can break immersion and end up as a lesser film because of it. It does sound like that isn't the case with Odyssey though so I'm not sure why the controversy exists.

Edit: probably a bit close to the knuckle for this forum.

It's also a risk to have to have to make the difficult choices and expect his popularity to hold up though. In two years time he won't have tackled welfare sufficiently, probably won't have brought immigration down enough and all these schemes he wants to do will have resulted in even more tax rises.

No it wasn't.

I think it's fair to say that if he doesn't sign this week then I can't see him signing at all. The very last thing we need is Stewart with no Pre season.

Can't see it myself ig he's choosing between us and West brom

That would be beyond bizarre. The very last thing we need is a right back.

Well obviously but it's not unreasonable to ask the question
