    I just mean that I figured we were choosing now to do it so that the new boss gets the January window to bring players in. Imagine the temp won't have any say on potential signings next month.

    Speculation now that we're waiting til the summer because the guy we want is already in a job. Not so sure about that.

    Is it also a bit because you guys have some real winnable fixtures in your next few games? Be easier to bed in a new manager facing Cardiff and so on, as opposed to PSG, Liverpool, City etc especially after how the season has gone so far.

    From what Noah tells me the guys on this podcast he really listens to, would sacrifice their newborns to get Poch. Another podcast he kind of listens to  (United we stand I think he said) seems set on somehow prying Pep away from City, though those guys might have been joking.

  2. I heard that someone apparently just lost a ton of money when the 49ers beat the Seahawks.

    Edit:-here we go.

    Via ESPN:

    A bettor at MGM placed two money-line bets totaling $569,000 on the Seattle Seahawks to beat the San Francisco 49ers. According to MGM sportsbook supervisor, the first bet was for $235,000 at -230 odds. The book bumped the up the price to -250 and then took another $334,000 on the Seahawks from the bettor. The 49ers won 26-23 in overtime

    It could be someone from China, because the movie's already out there. Bummer to hear that the dialogue is as bad as the trailers suggested it might be, though.

    For what it's worth, with really strong overseas takings so far and what is now expected overall internationally, plus what they expect the movie to do in America, Aquaman may now end up being the DCEU's first billion dollar movie.

  4. So if Everton also win and we combine that with all the other relevant results, for all the positive talk about Manchester United's win, all they've done is overtake the mighty Bournemouth, move up to the giddy heights of 7th, gain 3 points on a team they'll never catch and with a game against table topping Liverpool to come. :shifty:

  5. Not sure how this person has seen it already but here's someone's report on Aquaman.

    Spoiler

     

    Wait, I'm first?
    Spoiler space,
    Damn those are some muscles
    Spoiler space.
    Could she even breathe in that outfit?
    Spoiler space...

    OK. Saw it last night, but missed the first five minutes.

    The short, short version is that the script has good ideas but the Dialogue is clunkier than a droid army and fails them. A few line changes could have made the whole 'of two worlds' thing suck infinitely less, for example.

    The visuals though...Dear gods, the undersea vistas were beautiful. I haven't read any aquaman comics, so a LOT seemed cribbed from the Black Panther movie as 'how to do themed architecture' but that wasn't a bad thing. The shot on the roofs in taly when they jsut kept pulling back...so pretty. The bit at the ring of fire fight, when you realise that big ledge is just the rim of a statue's shield - someone should ship the director off to JJ Abrams so he can go "look, this is how scale works, OK?"

    I really loved the looks of it all, despite the constant 'Look, slow-mo! SEE HOW AWESOME THIS ALL IS!!1!

    It's clearly DC's big reboot of their movie series, heavily cribbed from Marvel's formula, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. The colour and crazy over the top bits were fun until they just kept going bigger and it felt...weightless. Like I say, good ideas but the delivery felt...off. The big fight reminded me very much of Clone Wars and not in a great way. 

    Also, Orm was boring as feck.

    But I enjoyed it. The ideas poking out were decent, it looked spectacular and Momoa carried it well. 

    And the thing with the bikers in the bar...saw it coming a mile off (like a lot of bits), but still funny. It's be interesting to freeze on the polaroids to see what's going on in the background.
