"The food/supplies aren't reaching the people who need it" is a phrase that is heard in almost every humanitarian crisis I'm not sure it's worth singling out Puerto Rico as a unique case of failure. It's easy to fly in a plane or dock a ship somewhere but distributing those supplies onward to everyo...

Litterally finished the first episode minuites ago. I'm going to give it a few more episodes (handy it ends on a cliff hanger). As a TNG child there's a lot of details that grate a little; it's too dark (literally in luminosity), costumes are wrong, Klingons look weird, tech feels newer but the sett...

The game was uneventful, we get it. Dyche though clearly feels strongly about diving and aired his views when an example occurred. If Dyche was trying to divert from a dull game with a rant on diving the journalist is trying to divert from his lack of originality and penmanship with a rant on Dyche....

Internet era hyperbole soundbite clickbait.
Does come across as entitled when a an unexciting but not uncommon 0-0 is labeled as abysmal. Palace are abysmal, our game was just average and/or uneventful. No need for such selfie spewing vitriol.

As a white middle aged man who works in the media (TV, Film, Theatre etc) I can tell you it's still very much entirely composed of white middle aged white men or WMAM, though white middle aged women show up a lot more as they are far more sensible at things. Almost all key roles are WMAM. Director 9...

I'm aware of that from a few years ago but not seen it. I'll give it a watch in the next few days. I would highly recommend it.

I watched the premier and was really not fond of it, it seemed to have no idea what it wanted to be. I was glad it was not 'Ted' in space with cheap swearing and crude sex jokes but the few gags that were present were pretty weak.

I asked last week how long it would take the fans to turn. People thought I meant the team as a whole which given their position is unlikely for now, but it seems Gray is starting to draw some ire. Maybe he's pulling defenders around and contributing to wins like he for us at times but fans want to ...

4 games in and tied with Huddersfield on points.

Against him rather than their position. Haven't watched them but suppose he might be pulling players around. He needs to score soon though.

Our defence looked all over the place, really. Sorry but we were up against the highest scoring team of last season (86 goals). If our defense looked all over the place that's because Spurs carry so much attacking threat and they had to be 'all over the place'. There will be a lot of last ditch def...
