Roster Depth Sicko No. 2

Xabi Alonso being considered for the Spurs job according to Sky.

That's the most excited anyone has been for Frank Lampard in a good while.

This playlist absolutely bangs.

If you had Emery's PPG (which I think is 2.2) over the extra 12 games Gerrard managed you'd be second place.

Renfield was good fun, we got the cinema screen to ourselves which was a nice bonus.

I absolutely love Felix Hagan, I think he's utterly brilliant. I'm actually a little gutted they've just extended the run because I'd have picked a more convenient weekend if I'd known but hey ho, the tickets were a present anyway, can't complain

Hamilton is coming to Cardiff at the end of the year and I really wanna go. I've also got tickets to go see Operation Mincemeat in June which I'm super excited about because I love the musician behind it.

Started Succession today. Two episodes in and I think I'm gonna love this.

Wait they four albums? I just assumed they broke up after the first.

Yeah I'm 4 episodes in and really enjoying this. Great acting.

Dungeons and Dragons was good fun.

Never venture into this thread BUT my dad's hometown team Ebbsfleet United are rejoining the National League after storming the National South this year. Happy for him, he still manages to plan trips with my mum around sneakily going off to see away games. He watched them seal the win at Taunton last weekend.

You Me At Six, All Time Low, and Fall Out Boy have released my favourite albums of the year so far, 2008 is great you guys.

I checked out the first single (Harvest?), has me intrigued for whatever else they release. Simon Neil does a lot of weird, talented stuff.

It's said every time but 5 and 7 are definitely the best seasons.

Typically not on the show I'm seeing because Hanson are apparently banned from the South West.

Finally ticking off a huge bucket list band and seeing Busted in September. Also seeing The Cult play in a castle which is pretty dope.

All aboard the Kiell Smith-Bynoe train!

The only ROM I've played is Black Black 2 and it was excellent. There was a really good Ruby ROM-hack I saw ShadyyPenguin play on YouTube too but I can't remember the name. Whilst I'm here is there a handy map anywhere for all of these damn spike things I need to find?

Found a second shiny on Violet! a Cufant, which I promptly evolved. at the point now where i think all im missing dex-wise are the three you evolve letting them out of the ball and the Scarlet exclusives, if someone wants to help me out on that front!

Anyone got the AEW All-Atlantic Title in the usual style? Realised making my last diary post I don't have one for it.

I have three complaints with Sword and Shield. 1. Hop in general. His name is stupid and they literally reuse all of Hau's animations from Sun and Moon. He feels very lazy and he'd have nothing going for him without Leon. 2. I don't like Dynamax as a gimmick. Megas were the peak for me, Z-Moves were kinda cool, I can't remember what Gen 6 had if anything? Terastilising adds a unique element and I really like what it offers (hoping for more in the DLC) but Dynamaxing is just "hurr durr I'm really big now". 3. Post-game spoiler The DLC was really good and I think it's definitely the way forward as opposed to a third version. The change I'd like to see now, which they won't do because MONEY but if they made each generation longer to add more graphical polish I think it would make a big difference. Main games come out three years apart, would another 6-12 months hurt for one generation to improve the general look for the next 2-3 generations?

Sword and Shield are a good jump in point. I will say, don't go too hard on the DLC too early, I don't remember if it scales and the Raids it lets you do give you access to lots of good Pokemon very very early, so I'd save it for post-game. I've really enjoyed Violet for what it's worth, although I'd rather have had the Scarlet legendaries. Looking forward to the DLC.

I'm over 30 now but haven't found anything over the past week that's gripped me. I'll add all of those to my list @RPS. Everything I've heard of the Sleep Token album has excited me, I think that's gonna be great when it drops in May.
