Theatre, politics, sport, sarcasm. Don’t expect anything better…

We should defend the values and effort at accuracy of the BBC in a Trumpian world of wilful inaccuracy and hypocrisy, but this seems on the face of it to be an excessive response to a politically motivated attack

Very much a ‘he’s resigned over…. THAT?’. Staggering.

The fact that beating Brighton with 9 men to complete the double, would be the best game of pretty much any season, but struggles to get into the top 3 for last season…

Worked though! Palace scored from one and Brentford offered very little from set pieces all game which rendered them fairly futile

I’m still waiting for a wedding in which I am close enough to the newlyweds/sufficiently inebriated to perform my own finely tuned imitation of Dominic West’s dance.

Hoping the musical coming out soon won’t let the side down…

To be fair, the last PL game at Selhurst Park (vs. Bournemouth) was a world away from what we saw today.
Although Brentford are the first side I’ve ever seen practice set pieces during the pre-game warm up.

Some of the episodes were exceptional (no, not that one) but I don’t think I ever got over the hideous editing out of ‘Push the Button’ by the Sugababes on the Jukebox in Space Babies. A decision that I am, completely unfounded, blaming on Disney.

But I am in a privileged position to already love the show so I can be on the ‘we adore our low budget sci fi drama with heart’.

I think he genuinely felt it was the best way for the show to survive long term. But if you compare the 60th specials and the two NG series (with -I presume- more Disney involvement in the latter), I’m glad they’re gone too.

The BBC can only present any political issues as ‘a row’.

Amazing how quickly they can crumble under a bit of scrutiny.
Note to government: APPLY THE SCRUTINY.

There was nothing of note about the referee’s performance, for either team. Enjoy being nailed on favourites for the title rather than trying to litigate unfounded conspiracies.
