El Pollo Diablo

Can't think of much worse than running in a '90s football shirt now. Horribly uncomfortable material.

I haven't seen OBAA yet, but I know what you mean. I desperately wanted to like TWBB but I just didn't get it. Was disappointed with Licorice Pizza too.

I'm still not over coming out of the cinema from There Will Be Blood thinking "was that it?" Didn't get it all.

Trump in Fox booth for the Lions/Commanders game. Fucking hell.

The Reds getting hosed by VAR and Charles Leclerc getting knocked out the race as collateral damage. FFS, what a 10 minutes.

Huge sigh of relief that Plaid have beaten Reform in Caerphilly.

Reform has no business in Cymru. They are not your allies or your saviours.

I've spent the last month or so working on a new podcast for @EarlestownCC - a view inside the life of our special cricket club.

Hosted by yours truly, this episode covers cricket and mental health mental health - particularly mine.

Shares appreciated.

Might be a freak match week, but the batterings dished out in the Champions League this week, the way in which most of the biggest teams have destroyed their opponents, suggests competitive balance (UEFA’s job to address) is now completely out of whack. Ridiculously easy some of these games.

That Broncos game was insane. Nothing for 3 qtrs and then 33 points in the 4th and the win. You won't see that anytime soon.

Not paying the guy but stopping him working for up to a year is some insidious BS.

Criminal that it was ever sold.

A master.

Final regular season game at Chase Stadium tonight. Still find it remarkable Messi played in Ft Lauderdale, surrounded by auto repair shops. During those early games I saw a sports photographer sink to his knees and weep when No.10 stoped for a selfie with him. Anyway, my piece for The Guardian...

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems... SIMON: What? SHAPIRO: ...Or saying... SIMON: You imagine that? SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over. SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level. SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this. SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

Thank goodness they all kicked up a stink about keeping their guns in case the governm... oh, never mind.

Caught a cold at the match on Saturday. Nose feels permanently on the verge of a sneeze.

a small brown dog leaps up from behind a pile of crunchy brown leaves. her eyes and mouth are open wide, and her big floppy ears are extended out like wings to either side.

This is Annie. She freaking loves fall. 13/10 (FB: James Osborne)

Bubbles And Green Bastard Appear At AEW All Out - Fightful | WWE News, AEW News, Pro Wrestling Backstage News Adam Copeland and Christian Cage got some inspiration from some Canadian legends as Wendel Clark, Bubbles, and Green Bastard

Bubbles And Green Bastard Appear At AEW All Out

You know what, fair play to Scooby Doo villains. They walk into a room dressed as a ghost, see a talking dog on its hind legs making the world’s biggest sandwich and somehow manage to stay in character.

So, Redzone.

I see Roman Reigns' teeth and I think of Bobby Firmino asking for 'Maximo, beyond one', when asked how white he'd like them.

Samuel L. Jackson stars in a new Vattenfall ad for wind power, countering Trump's nonsense tirades against "windmills".

Luis Díaz came to score and leaves as a champion, but it feels too soon Liverpool parting with a key member of the title-winning team feels odd, but it's a reality of football's analytical era.

NEW on Always Liverpool | The Colombian is moving on. It appears to be a move that suits all parties, but how would you explain this transfer to a young kid with a Luis Díaz No.7 shirt?
