Only Ozzy could sit in a dark throne and sound flawless despite everything. That was one of the best sets I've watched - that voice still smashes it.

Didn't quite realise how involved FUT is on FC25. Two weeks off to figure out a game about to go into End of Life mode.

Find it odd that only today, the police think Kneecap at TRNSMT would be a significant police operation.

Only now?

Just a lesson to learn after that Roman Reigns' Vanity Fair interview - not everyone is a role model.

Cue the boos, Vegas. Cue them up, sadly...

Coachella sets I've enjoyed so far - Lady Gaga, The Prodigy, Glixen. But wow, Lady Gaga set the bar high this year.

Have to call it fairly; slightly underwhelmed with the favour requested by CM Punk.

If the Wrestlemania 41 build seems kind of flat, maybe this is the starting point for the next long-term story?

Just hope it goes somewhere... no doubt it will.
