Merry Xmas & thanks for the joy in 25. But, you missed the best I’ve seen living in the US (brush over The Pitt) 1)Tires with Shane Gillis;hysterical 2)61st St;incredible crime drama 3)Mayor of Kingstown - relentlessly gripping. Search in a happy 26 x

Always so jealous when you get to watch all the good stuff in advance - so be prepared to be jealous of me when I get to watch (being in the US) The Pitt SERIES 2 on Jan 11th…

@podsaveamerica.crooked.com spare a thought for us lovers of the most popular sport in the world being raped by FIFA & Trump at the 26 World Cup. Dynamic pricing & accommodation are scandalous (& flights). Loyal fans are being priced out and the stadiums will be empty. Another bad look for the US…

@maxrushden.bsky.social Glad you mentioned ticket prices at the WC (beers $20 a pint)I live in California & the Levi’s stadium have daft games. Take Qatar v Switzerland 80,000 capacity 10,000 fans tops.Next door is earthquakes stadium 30,000 capacity but fifa haven’t got the common sense to switch.

Thanks @kayrib23.bsky.social for introducing me to “COMEBACK”. I must have missed it when I moved abroad around the first series. Anywho, it is maximum cringe in a good way but I can’t get James out of my head when I’m watching knowing how much he would be off his trolley on cringe…

As England are in Group L for the WC - can you find a way that there could be a Group P?? Using the existing rules…

@acjimbo.bsky.social bit of Christmas fun? My friends $ I recently discussed who would play the roles in a Remake of “Escape to Victory”? The Ipswich players would be replaced by City players. Michelle Caine’s role would be Tom Hardy’s. I’d love you lovely guys to have a discussion about this???

Me again. Have you noticed how amazing the opening titles are for ‘IT: Welcome to Derry’ ?

So what are your favouritist opening TV titles? And your least favourite (you can’t have ‘The Morning Show’ as that’s a given)…

STOKED to have featured on @pilottvpod.bsky.social my question read out by the delightful @kayrib23.bsky.social (dirtiest laugh in show biz) so now PLEASE make my year & watch Mayor Of Kingstown @boydhilton.bsky.social relentlessly grim, gripping & disturbing with witty, sweary dialogue to match.

QUESTION FOR THE TEAM…
After watching the brilliant “all her fault” couldn’t help thinking “Mr Chips” would’ve been better (it was all his fault).

Have you ever thought a title wasn’t good enough for a series and thought of something better??

Here’s some data for you knapper - watch ITV now and look at the Albania team. Full of cheap talent. Simples really… #NCFC

Please @pilottvpod.bsky.social please please pretty please, watch The Mayor of Eastown. Written by Tyler Sheridan - it’s a classic. Gritty, compelling and better than The Wire. I love y’all but it’s a dereliction of duty not to have seen this. @boydhilton.bsky.social this is SOOO up your street…

@pilottvpod.bsky.social I love you guys but c’mon - Harlen Coben?? He is a ham. How does he continue to be lauded? Lazarus: “he shot himself, in the office” - sounds painful. Lazy writing. Why does London look like a Batman set? We don’t have “dive bars” in England Coben. Fat English mate (tick)…

#canarycall why doesn’t knapper just actually go and look at prospective players play (if they’re not injured) rather than just look at his laptop?
October 29, 2025 at 6:53 PM
#CANARYCALL Mark sounds a throughly likeable man & I loved his comment “relegation is not an option.” But then he says the board are doing a good job but admits Nunez transfer was a PR disaster & the way the planning application was communicated was flawed too so how could they be doing a good job?

New season of Mayor Of Kingstown dropped on 26th of this month and STILL - no review.

The 4th after 3 consistently brilliant gritty seasons. One of the best crime dramas evs.

Please review. I promise you all are missing out

3: … Academy player’s contract from her yellow and green bathtub filled with £10 notes. But the stench of rebellion is in the air as the news that King Marcus Anastasio - sovereign of Brewerland - will soon be arriving, fills the peasants of the City with hope. Temporarily at least. TBC… #NCFC

1: The court of Lady Webber (advised by malevolent force of the shadows hubby Malfoy Webber) presides over her Carrow Palace from her throne in the cattacombes of the feared chamber of echo. The simpleton Adams entertains her Majesty with wild stories of entertaining football in lands far away #NCFC
