We got Hills?

They're multiplying

Afua Hirsch fairly briefly explaining how I was right and most of you were wrong - honourable exceptions acknowledged.

Nirvana is the epitome of a modern day City fan.

Loyal, passionate, loud, knowledgeable, almost tribal in his defence of City after all the years of hurt and disappointment he has endured.

We're lucky to have fans like Nirvana.

Haha, that gave me a good lol, nice one

Thatcher doc tonight was pretty great.

[Think I must have slept through half of them because we see Mountain quite early with a proper face and about half the size he later was and I'd forgotten that.]

I actually liked the last half hour or so - the council choosing a leader, the laughter at references to democracy, Bran the Squint, Greyworm looking double 'ard, the little scene at the end with Tyrion and his homies  (Jerome and Davos are my faves I think) running the court/council whatever was pretty good and an interesting homage to the end of the Godfather (1 or 2, one of them anyway).

All in all - utter pish and one of the all time average series. Had to go back and watch a few early episodes to see why I ever watched it - not convinced it was a good judgement but much better earlier obvs. Think I must have slept through half of them because we see Mountain quite early with a proper face and about half the size he later was and I'd forgotten that. Gonna have to watch a few more old ones to see when he lost his face.

He has won world strongest man during all this, def put on a bit of beef in real life, makes Eddie Hall look like Tyrion and he is 6ft 2”. 

But when did his face go - come on Scott, give me the episode so I don't have to trawl thru too many

Seriously, congratulations especially after the <25 goals coup. Some lovely football to watch as well. Do you not look at crowds like Ajax, Eintracht, etc & wish your crowds were a bit more into it though? It's about all that's missing.

Haven't you seen us jumping with our backs to the pitch..awesome

Meh
PSG and Celtic do it season after season and fail in Europe
Big deal

But they don't have 4 teams below them appearing in the 2 great European finals izzit

Brexit Party in 2nd place in general election voting intention, ⁦Opinium Research⁩ for Observer

Can we really take polls of this nature at face value? Farage’s Folly may, almost certainly will, do well in the EU election but to attempt to extrapolate how people feel about him and his ilk for this election into how they may vote in a GE seems to be stretching it.

I think we can take it seriously if they morph into a legitimate right wing party, change name perhaps. There is no right wing option in the UK these days - there's the Tories and then a huge gap to the harder right nutjob parties.

I think Thatcher showed that there is an appetite for a right wing party and the Tories are pretty terrified of being called right wing these days . Many Tories would find a Brexit or otherly named party quite attractive I think, as well as quite a lot of traditional Labour who are not really left wing in the way it manifests today.

As Boris announces he is standing next time

the implication of the agreement btw Brady + May - if 2nd reading passes, PM stays on to fight next stages through Commons, in hope that we leave EU before recess,

if it fails, which at this stage is a LOT more likely, she's gone, contest over summer, new PM at Tory conf

according to laurak

so

1  We can waste the entirety of the Article 50 extension on a Tory bloodbath and then come up smiling in October to ask for another one. Good times.

2 The Tory bloodbath will be a competition to see who can sound toughest on Brexit for the membership. They'll then become leader, face the same choice May did, and buckle in the same way. And then we can begin again.

3 (i think as times goes on its looks less and less likely we leave)

One ridiculous aspect of not leaving will be the prospect of a reasonably high number of Brexit Party MEPs enjoying the gravy in Brussels while not having to contribute anything of any value at all. Just stand up and shout bollocks now and then - pretty toasty life

Just because something might get worse isn't a good reason to not try and get better..little chance of getting better without a change I think. Hope he gets another good role somewhere though.

The people's champions.

A quarter of the net spend of pep, and from a much weaker starting position.

Klopp is the best manager in the world atm

Great precis of Liverpool fans views which is why it's so much fun when Liverpool don't win the title...again

OMG, might as well have dumped a big shark in the middle of the episode. Hour plus of a, suddenly, nuked up dragon flying around. Utter tripeage. Oi Oi, just one more to go.

Sol is a shoo-in I think

Came here to mention something else but quick diversion to say I won't be voting in the Euros as I no longer vote. Not sure who I could vote for anyway, one of LDs, Greens or Brexit I guess.

Anyway, the Storyville thing on BBC4 following the Hoff for 2 years during the Brexit negotiations is great in many ways. Obviously a fairly singular view but the odd comments about Raab, Davis and the like are great fun.

My fav bit of soft mocking of the UK position was a few of the EU Parl brexit team watching May at the Conference dancing on stage to Abba. They mooted the idea of having Barnier walk on to 'The Winner Takes it all" at the next press conference. Amused me hugely, didn't think Belgians, Italians etc could be so funny..perhaps Europe is the future.
