The thing that makes all the games like today more palatable is I fully believe that Ange understands the need for us to rebuild. He's already spoken at length about how abandoning Plan A will lead to players losing faith in the way he wants us to play. It's clear, as the season has gone on, where there are obvious positions we need to upgrade in order to pull of his style of football. We're gonna get battered occasionally, at the moment we've been a bit found out, but I do have faith we're going in the right direction and the highs of Ange ball are really high. This feeling fully trumps the last few years of the short-sighted shit played under anti-football weirdo egomaniacs.

It wasn't bad when we won the reverse 4-1. But we were well beaten today. Newcastle were very good, won it tactically, individually and we completely lost our heads after the first two goals.

They spent the whole of the first series finally getting everyone in the same place for Heroes, just to immediately disband them all, which I remember feeling incredibly unsatisfying at the time. I'm still deep in my Buffy and Angel re-watch, which I'm loving so much that it's making me want to re-watch more shows I loved when I was younger. Heroes could definitely end up on that list. I'm ready to get hurt all over again.

Ah thank you so much, that means so much man. ❤️

Remember when I had to buy your half pints at PTTS because you forgot your ID?

Thank you that means a lot! name a time and I'm yours x

Hello everyone! EWB has been really important in helping get my films made and was I once again blown away by everyone's generosity when we were fundraising for Suzie back in 2022. We've launched our film online today with a Vimeo Staff Pick, if anyone fancies giving it a watch! Starring BAFTA-nominee Helen Behan (The Virtues) and Produced by Academy Award-winning Slick Films.

I watched The Marvels and couldn't help but wish the wide-eyed Khamala Khan experiences throughout was actually reflected in the language of the film instead of her dialogue. Iman Vellani is such great casting and they had the opportunity to position us with her so we actually feel her fulfilling her dreams or the thrill of going on a space adventure. But, like Marvel for the last few years, the film just isn't really that cinematic and it's just a bit dead. I think it says a lot that there's more wonder and magic in Raimi's contained Spider-Man films than there is a time-hopping intergalactic romp. Enjoyed the cast and it's at its best when they're all interacting at the beginning. I'm a huge fan of Zawe Ashton, so it was great to see her get this kind of platform. It's just sort of boring that Marvel quite regularly hire exciting directors and don't give them much room to do anything. I was surprised by how much I really liked Guardians 3 and I'm a bit gutted, but not massively surprised, that it feels much more like an outlier than a return to form.

Season 2 of The Traitors was such a triumph and delivered Shakespearean levels of drama. I was personally worried they were going to try and make it bigger and better, but thankfully they didn't lose focus of the fact the game itself is engaging and casting relatively normal people is key. A little too much producer influence towards the end for my liking - it seems like a series that usually peaks in the middle - but that finale was outstanding TV. I I thought it was genuinely better than most TV dramas these days. Speaking of, I'm doing something I don't do often and I'm rewatching a couple of shows. Going back through Battlestar Galactica and my all-time favourite Buffy. I've not actually done a full watch through of either since I was 16. With Buffy I've watched a lot of the odd eps with other people, but Battlestar is the first time in a long time. Really enjoying both.

Last year I finally got through the whole of Hickman's X-Men universe run. For some reason, I set out to read every single title and stubbornly did nearly everything. I couldn't finish Excalibur or some of the stuff like X-Corp, but I was stuck with the rest. I feel like it never lived up to how incredible Dawn of X / Powers of X was, but there was loads of stuff to enjoy in there. The flagship title was great, Hellions was the other standout and got a good kick out of the crossover events. I intend to keep going with a few more X titles, but I took a break to rattle through Chip Zdarsky's brilliant Daredevil run and I'm now working my way through Devil's Reign. I absolutely love what Zdarsky did with Daredevil, it's the kind of character-driven stuff I want from comics. Outside of Marvel Unlimited, I still love my non-superhero graphic novels and I'm getting loads out of Monica by Daniel Clowes.

He didn't. I feel pretty emotional between the double-whammy of Hugo and Dier leaving. Dier got a lot of unfair stick online, but he was a wonderful servant, a great professional and part of the team that made me fall back in love with football. It doesn't change that he's not suited to Ange Ball whatsoever and can't play in a high line. Boring trophy talk aside, hope he has a great run at Bayern, he's a good player and was proper Spurs through and through.

he'll make them proud

It's definitely quite morally corrupt, and the filming conditions sounds absolutely awful and pretty fucked up, but I hate to say I found it quite bingeable and juicy.

Don't worry, we're injury ravaged ourselves. Should be fun.
