Finished Ghost of Yotei yesterday, I really enjoyed it. A cracking sequel, a real iteration of everything the first game did well and less of what it didn’t. Heavy Kill Bill vibes throughout, which I also liked. Especially the first Spider fight, you’re own personal ‘Crazy 88’ moment.

I don’t get the criticism of the potential Nancy appointment. We complain when one of Desmond’s mates get it as it’s lazy. We offer it to someone who is on paper an exciting up and coming manager who has won trophies in a short career so far and folk are saying it’s cheap. Can’t win.

There are people unironically listening to Nickleback in the office today and I can’t help but think: isn’t this explicitly why headphones were invented?

Was watching St Roch’s today and genuinely seen one of the best FK goals I’ve ever seen. 20-ish yards out, in line where the semi circle at the edge of the 18 yard line and the 18 yard line meet. Found the inside netting on the near post at shoulder height and spun so hard it rolled around the net.

So, having had a kid, I get wanting to go to an organised firework display on Bonfire Night, they’re awesome. What I don’t and will never get is the neighbour that spends several hundred pounds on turning your and their back gardens into the Gaza Strip on a Wednesday night in the pissing rain.

The determination to keep coming forward, keep grafting today was an absolute joy to see by comparison to the lacklustre performances we’ve been getting this season.

As well as a romantic meal for two at Nando’s, I won this at the charity do I was at down my uncle’s ludge tonight, needless to say I donated it back to be auctioned off over the weekend:

2 rules in life as a football fan: 1) don’t fall in love with loan players. 2) don’t fall back in love with 73 year old interim managers.

One thing I’ll add. If Rodgers actually was the final say in transfer dealings and then went out and said he’d never even heard of the Japanese lads we signed this summer, that is mental behaviour.

I took a few hours off real life earlier this evening with a bit of Ghost of Yotei then FM26 and came back to this. Like 6 hours ago one of my group chats was groaning at the idea of Rodgers getting a new contract, how the fuck did we get here? DD releasing that statement was like a Trump Tweet too.

Hearts showing the importance of a modern, cohesive transfer strategy and what it can deliver at this level on a relatively modest budget. Celtic showing what happens when you have none of those things in place.

Been playing the FM26 Beta for a few hours now and Broadcast Mode with Dynamic Highlights on the new engine is clearly how it’s meant to be played. Also, import an FM24 save: learn the new game without dicking about with all the staff and recruitment nonsense while you find your way.

New upstairs neighbours sound like they’re decorating with some tunes on, they have a playlist of heavy dance remixes of well known pop tunes on. Don’t think Sound of Silence at 180 bpm was what the writers intended if I’m honest.

Celtic are so easy to play against. Slow, predictable, no spark. Keep your shape, stay disciplined and you’re in with a real chance of a result. Today only the latest of many examples. If we go 8 behind Hearts next weekend, Rodgers 100% needs to go. He’s going anyway and it shows.

No wonder Trump would rather shut the American government down than release the Epstein files, they just got an English Prince binned.

It’s not the greatest sentence ever written, but it’s up there. Love the use of biblical horror, like it’s an established genre. Also, which father, dude has 2 technically and not naming which one Cage actually plays has my interest.
Nicolas Cage plays the father of Jesus in the biblical horror movie The Carpenter's Son, coming to theaters November 14. #IGNFanFest

Take the results, but both games were eye-bleeding watches. Decent teams would have won both games at a canter.

Don’t get why Rangers fans would be excited to have Gerrard back. Would be like if, no harm to him, Celtic were to announce Ronny was coming back. Except Ronny won x3 as many trophies.

Saw Raye do: Where Is My Husband? for some half time show through the week and it was phenomenal. Have now listened through ‘My 21st Century Blues’ off the back of it and I’m now obsessed. Class act, highly recommend!
