He’s tidy but has the same inability to pick the right pass at the right time as all of our other wingers. (Apart from Rashford of course who doesn’t even bother trying) Would be good if coached well

I mean, kinda, but they also deserved to score them as they massively outfought us from the second they scored the first.

I mean, whether he ultimately makes it here or not, he’s already secured himself Forlan type cult status with that

If I’m being really reaaaally harsh, I didn’t like the celebration at all. Last minute extra time winner in the cup against Liverpool… I want a full sprint to the hoardings and jump into the crowd. Lamp a steward, kiss a ball boy. Get sent off like that. The whole ‘slowly walking whilst holding...

I don’t know how much family the Emperor has in the books, but they should just keep introducing them with broader and broader Walken impressions…

Kill Zendaya in a prologue, re-cast Paul as Cillian Murphy. At the very least make Florence Pugh do a Walken impression to match Butler doing Skarsgard.

He could just portray the Navigators like the aliens in Arrival if he wants to keep it mysterious, no? Out of focus creatures in misty tanks. Christopher Walken is a much more ridiculous figure to just drop into this Universive IMO.

I actually agree that Villeneuve has gone too far the other way. His aesthetic is a bit earthy Apple Store. With the exception of the Harkonnen stuff it was all pretty safe. Also not a massive fan of how washed out all the Arrakis stuff looked. I know it was a choice, but for all the talk of...

I mean various pre Klopp Liverpool & post 2005 Arsenal players fit the bill I guess - Collymore, Ruddock, Ince from that crop, but also the likes of Carzola, Mustafi, Konchesky, Julio Baptisa, Andy Carroll, Mertesacker all work as similar ‘symptom of decline’ type players. But The Spice Boys...

Watched Jodorowsky’s Dune again the other day, and came to the conclusion that albeit obviously fascinating, it would’ve undoubtedly been an absolute mess had it ever been made. Aside from the fact that his ‘interpretation’ was diametrically opposite to the theme of the book - making the whole...

The Spice Boys biggest achievements were a UEFA Cup and a couple of domestic cups whilst never seriously challenging for the league despite ending up in the top 3 a couple of times. They are the absolute perfect comparison point.

He is not. Hoult is. Why? He’s technically been in as many films as Superman as Christopher Reeves, and they were all terrible.

Hmmm, I mean, that doesn’t feel right at all… but I guess you’re technically correct? It’s a fascinating sketchy metric though. You could definitely say winning multiple league titles, domestic cups in 2 countries, a European trophy and the World Cup is a stellar career, but you could also pick...

He wasn’t bad or good, or anything in particular. Bringing him on at the end of a terrible performance to rescue a game isn’t really a fair situation to judge him one way or the other. He either scores or creates something and is instantly labelled the next best thing who should’ve obviously...

Even when we suddenly decided to start trying properly in the 89th minute, the only chances we could feasibly muster anyway were rebounds from long shots. Our chronic inability to create anything even approaching an opening against any side that defends even somewhat competently has been the...
