Spot on. Two other thoughts from tonight: a welcome glimpse of the Kerkez Liverpool thought they were buying and a no. 8 who deserves whatever new contract he’s offered and then some.
Tuned in for my first stint of Winter Olympic watching. The drone camerawork for the freeski slopestyle is just gorgeous.
Ersatz, just like the ‘anthem’.
Had never even heard of it til this evening. Queued up to watch.
First of many!
My heart just isn’t able for this season. Ludicrous defending and an unbelievable 99th min winner from a 16-year-old. Have some serious improving to do. #YNWA
Been a huge fan of Chiesa since his great season in 20/21. Delighted when he came to #LFC and been gutted by his experience so far (and rumours of impending transfer). Bloody delighted for him tonight. #YNWA
Arne Slot has no truck with #fantasyfootball managers. 2 clean sheets bonuses denied by about 15-20 seconds 😂 #fpl
Loved #Superman tonight. Great approach to the character and his over-familiar backstory, perfect tone and casting, and Krypto… 🥰 Smiled and teared up in equal measure. Hope future DC Studios movies keep nailing it.
Pleasantly surprised by how good Agassi is on co-comms at #Wimbledon. Treats the viewer as a grown-up, imparts a lot of wisdom and experience. Learning a lot this afternoon while enjoying Alcaraz/Fritz.
What a glorious time of year for live tv. Glastonbury this weekend, Wimbledon starting on Monday and the Open only a few weeks away.
Saved the #Eurovision
Bloody love Austria this year. #Eurovision
Plus you can’t spell Arsenal without that arse of a manager. Delusional comments this week were the cherry on top: not a serious person.
Couldn’t have predicted this at the start of the season. Glorious! Great work Slot with Klopp’s legacy. Thank you Jurgen! #LFC
Hook it to my veins 😍
So happy, so relieved, so teary for McIlroy. He’s more than earned it, and done it the hard way! With that massive weight off his shoulders he’ll pick up a few more majors, no bother. #Masters
Live sport is truly the greatest thing but once, just once, I’d like to have watched Rory in a calm procession to a major. #Masters
Goals are lovely, obviously, but it’s particularly reassuring to see Pool’s defence Slot back into gear.
It’s always seemed like a matter of time until Szobo started scoring. Whether it’s confidence or the position he’s been told to play, but he’s well capable of 10-15 goals a season.
Made the B final of the club pickleball tournament today. Think the last time I’d done anything similar was 30-odd years ago with the Tech’s hurling team (winning despite having me on the panel) and a table tennis comp. Wrecked but delighted.
Worthy second place on both counts. Dalton was an amazing Bond.
A random John Barry track pops up on my Spotify to remind me that ‘The Living Daylights’ was his greatest soundtrack (not to mention the very best Bond movie).
Might seem lazy, given Hughes’s history there, but agree entirely. Add Kerkez to that list.
The Rams/Eagles snow game is great fun for the casual viewer. You don’t see this kind of madness in the Prem.
Genuinely think that the pundits who laud Ange-ball are borderline deranged.
Unbelievable combo 😂 One for the armchair managers - like meself! - who wondered as to the wisdom of those two subs! Now, let’s see if the game opens up a bit. #LFC
Spot on. Feels like Liverpool have been conceding these soft goals ever since Endrick did a number on Konate. At the other end, it’s reminiscent of a few seasons back: it takes a toll on a team have to come from behind so often.
Hadn’t planned to spend the day watching back-to-back Poirots, but that’s the power of Peter Ustinov + Twixtmas for you.
All the feels, as young folk probably don’t even say anymore. Looking forward to more wonder and all-too-rare optimism.
