Don’t know that much but weren’t Liverpool doing a bit poorly towards the end of last season , fluked some at the start of this and then gone on a mad losing run
That’s quite a period of poor form

I wish we lived in a world where we just pay for something and it’s yours forever; either you have to subscribe to something or have it for “free” and be bombarded with adverts
Is just like to pay a one off payment and have it
I’m looking at you Two Words with Suzie Dent

Trump going on about London being a terrible, unsafe place to live.
London’s homicide rate is c1.5 per 100,000, a tiny fraction of most American cities (e.g. St Louis 88, Atlanta 32). Maybe he should stop listening to Herr Farage and get his own house in order.

Quite tearful to see the wonderful Jason Manford return to the One Show (as a guest) after his ignominious departure (as host) many years ago
They’ve never recaptured the magic that him and Christine had in when it first started

I am sickened by the relentless demonisation of refugees.
No refugee underfunded a school.
No refugee closed a hospital.
No refugee took away support from the sick and disabled.
We need solutions not scapegoats. Stop blaming refugees and tax the rich instead!

I liked Zombies 4 : prescient message regarding dwindling resources&the illogicality of partisan communities
Tough work for the writers to get the character arcs woven into the narrative structure/ themes - which waspartly achieved
feel that the parents should be up in front of The Hague though

This James Marriot
I get it , to a degree , Gen Zedders are buying into his schtick and fine
Good for them
However, “influencer turned rock star” should be discouraged
Yes , I’m looking at you KSI
I know we had your Jason Donovan s and Nick Berry s
But still

Inhaler ! I saw them supporting TOUTS at Night and Day
They were good then and the lad had something
However, the nepobaby thing is so strong in that one
Probably the highest nepobaby thing of all time
And I don’t know if we (as a society) will ever look beyond it

Despite there being some clear conflations of events, what an important document on the most significant cultural events in human history !
Not only did Dylan drag the white cultural elite into a new epoch, he brought the rest of the world with it
The times, they were changed

Watching Love and Mercy on bbc4
It’s two films in one but both are really good
Weird, the younger guy looks like him and acts like him but Cusack totally nails it
Interesting role for the woman who plays his modern girlfriend, actress is familiar but can’t remember what she’s been in

I don’t know much about this Chappell Roan, and I don’t think I’m her target audience, but have to admit I’m impressed by her performance at Primavera
A lot of the audience know the words to her songs and some of them are even filming the performance on their phones
