But that kind of fits with the view of that area considering its a fossil fuel economy - you wouldn't expect them to say Climate Change is real, it wouldn't fit with the programme. I believe Climate change is real but I'll disassociate when watching a made up drama. I'd stick with it, it's a great 2 series.  

Yeah, I totally get that viewpoint, and normally don’t let social issues ruin my fun if I otherwise enjoy a program.
 

However, the oil company spiel, in the context of how the program is presented (overt product placement, general “America is great” vibe) was an annoyance too far. Throw in an elderly guy being distracted by his colleague’s young daughter sunbathing, and making a (supposedly) comedic scene out of this, replete with arse shots and bouncing arse shots, and I started seeing the program as some kind of Republican throwback, “good old days with good old boys” MAGA PR exercise.

There’s plenty of other stuff for me to watch 🤣

In what way? It would be strange not to have big oil running through the whole programme given it's about a Texas Oil Cop!

In one scene all the bigwigs were at a conference - guy on stage essentially saying that climate change is fake news. 

Started Landman and it felt like a Trump brainwashing piece sponsored by Big Oil/Michelob. Not for me. 
 

Also started Girl Taken - set in a fictional northern English town called Holly something, but filmed in Northern Spain for some reason - which makes the whole thing feel odd and bad. 
 

However, also just finished Crowded Room which was utterly amazing. Similar vibe to Shutter Island if you like that kind of thing.

this is something that occurred to me when I was having my morning constitutional 
Once Brendan realised that we couldn’t defend, we eventually moved to a more basketball method of trying to outscore the opposition 

that didn’t work either 

 

however, I hadn’t thought about Sadler 

I’d like to think you thought the word “Brendan” at the exact moment the mothership splashed down. 

At 3-0 I said to myself “we will just find a different way to lose”. Wasn’t even surprised I was right.

Years ago the advice was ignore it and they'll go away. Case law since suggests paying is the safer option is my understanding. 

Fvck that. 

Getting someone who hasn’t been subjected to whatever it is that removes all LCFC players ability,  desire and fitness has to be a good thing.

New = hope. That hope may only last a couple of games, but nevertheless.

Bump. 

Luke Littler.

It's the hope that kills you, but I've got to believe that Top seeing the depths we've sunk to might force him to realise we're heading to L1 and get his wallet out and get us a couple of players and that's why he buggered off so early. Probably deluded though ain't I 

Yes.

I'm genuinely curious, personally i'm not too bothered about the name, but if it was offered tomorrow for Red Bull to buy the club and rename us RB Leicester, would you take that? 
Personally I think it would be huge for the club, and would allow us to tap into their network of top quality coaches and scouting/youth development network. 

If it meant getting KP out, i'd snap your arm off to become RB Leicester. 

I’d prefer “Red Leicester”. Don’t have the stats but think that would make us the first club named after a cheese.

*remembers all the other problems and cries*

Can we not rustle up £ 100k to replace Thomas?

I remember when I used to look forward to half time when leading. A chance to have a talk, get organised, have a rest. 
 

These days I dread it.

Any sovereign country would be obligated to put a marker down else they look weak. The USA is not going to invade Greenland or Canada. 

The guy who used to command the US armed forces in Europe is taking the Greenland threats seriously. 

Nice to see a bit of youthful pace and industry squish the fight back. So much better than going all siege.

Just switched on Wrexham v Sheff U. The energy and intensity of this game compared to the insipid dross we served up at the KP earlier is staggering. 

Exactly my thoughts. Thought I had it on fast forward for a moment. 

Just watched Ep 23 of Leicester City Are Shite. Would not recommend.

Must win. 
 

Well, not “must” but it would be quite nice. 

Guff

The match room/Eddie Hearn documentary. Feels like one big advert for matchroom with a lot of it feeling scripted/staged 

Yep, watched about 10 minutes of it.
