Two things. I don't get why people watch their teams with such a pessimistic outlook, and also present their predictions as fact. You think that's what will happen, but have written it as a certainty. Sit down tonight wherever you chose to watch and try and be hopeful. We might fail but theres little point in assuming we will.

Reading the news of his death, I had completely forgotten Hunt for the Wilderpeople. Love that film.

I've not a fan of speaking ill of the dead, but also the people crying about someone giving a honest opinion on the type of person Anne Widdicombe was after her death seem to miss the point that she spent her life saying hurtful things about people, pursuing policies that would affect the most vulnerable in our society whilst they were alive. Calling Anne Widdecombe vile etc now doesn't hurt anyone, especially not Anne, she's dead. Her life's work made people's lives worse, maybe turn some of your energy in that direction.

I think calling him what I assume should be where those stars are is a bit much. He's not a serious pundit, and I get why he annoys people, but he seems like a nice guy and wouldn't be someone I addressed using a work that would be censored on her.
