At age 27, I'm now at what I perceive to be my final year of voter eligibility for the Hottest 100. Been a fun ride.

Not much point voting when Sabrina Carpenter, Chappell Roan and Charli XCX will inevitably win, but alas πŸ₯²

US woman caught with golden gun in luggage at Sydney airport jailed for a year Liliana Goodson travelled to Australia to attend clown school with the gold-plated pistol, worth about $3,000, in her luggage

This article is hilarious but also I feel it more than justifies my fear/hatred of clowns.

Never trusted them in the first place and now prospective clowns are bringing guns to clown school. Because that's a thing... πŸ₯΄

"Here's Hogg..." you know the rest.

Great chatting with Troy Deeney for talkSPORT today, with plenty of articles to come over the coming days.

Fun fact: he got an offer to join Melbourne Victory but turned it down...

Someone at work said yesterday that Eddie Jones is like the Jose Mourinho of rugby and I haven't stopped thinking about it since.

A fair assessment?

A glass half-full perspective: Villa have only conceded once in the UCL, are on 10 points and limited Juventus to very, very few clear-cut chances.

Certainly a more controlled, Emery-like showing from Villa after the chaos against Palace last Saturday. A good platform to keep building from

In saying that, it was far from Villa's best performance either. Kamara + clean sheet were probably the best things about it.

Also not sure what's happened to Rogers. Maybe just me, but feel like his explosive runs where he spins and bursts away from his marker are becoming fewer each game?

Just when I thought the referee's performance couldn't get much worse, he rules out Rogers' goal at the very death.

One of the most abject displays I've ever seen involved in a Villa game, and that is saying something.

Kamara is a massive inclusion. Adds defensive solidity no other Villa midfielder offers and will hopefully allow Youri to push forward and play incisive passes higher up the field.

Have a strange feeling this will be Bailey's breakout game this season too...

Have to say, with the number of 4 and 5 star recruits committing/being close to committing to Colorado, I think it bodes *extremely* well for Coach Prime staying beyond this season.

Surely it's doubtful any of them would commit if they had an inkling Prime would be on his way?

One of the most overlooked elements about moving overseas is finding somewhere new to get a haircut.

Spent 6 years going to same guy back in Sydney, felt like a breakup when I got my last haircut before I left…

Indonesia *may* have done the Socceroos a huge favour with that result.

But as it stands, FOUR teams - including Aus - are now tied on 6 pts, with Bahrain on five.

A big game for Popovic’s side just got bigger…
