    NXT

    Ricochet vs. Pete Dunne, from this week's episode, is a really excellent clash-of-styles match. One of the best singles matches in WWE (any brand) this year, I reckon. Check it out if you haven't done so already.

    European Union Referendum

    Aye, but you thought Uncle Jeremy coming second in a General Election was ‘winning’, so you’re idea of ‘smashing it’ probably doesn’t correspond with mine. What do you have in mind? A 10+ point margin? Less? BTW, Johnny Boy doesn’t sound very keen. Thoughts?

    European Union Referendum

    No need to bring the Yanks and the flower power generation into it. People aged 60 or over, who voted for Brexit by quite a sizeable majority, are the only group who had a vote the last time we had a referendum on ‘Europe’. The British EU-sceptic movement is absolutely chock full of...

    Poor showing by Till. Did eff all in the first round. Looked to step it up in the second but got caught coming in almost immediately, and from that point it was pretty much game over. Very impressed by Woodley's poise throughout that 2-3 minute phase where he transitioned from the ground and...

    The Tennis thread

    I have a smidgeon of sympathy for her about the first violation. If that’s coaching then it happens so consistently and punished so rarely that it must be frustrating as hell to get called for it. It’s also an incredibly dumb rule. The second and third violations were no brainers. It’s normal...

    European Union Referendum

    It was, yes. The point of contention is whether it being advisory was the justification for not allowing certain people (all belonging to typically excluded groups) a vote in the referendum. I have no recollection of this and I followed the proceedings quite attentively; therefore, I’ve asked...

    Sharp Objects (just finished on HBO) was outstanding.

    The Labour Thread

    I’m not sure what I have to do with it… FWIW, I dislike the license fee because I think the BBC’s N&CA folk are mostly a bunch of muesli-munching Guardianista types who are intuitively hostile to various social, political and cultural ideas that I favour, and I rather resent having to fund...

    The Labour Thread

    This is a man who stood for election proposing to put Diane Abbott in charge of the Police and MI5, and STILL won over 40% of the vote. He can propose pretty much any daft bugger idea he likes.

    European Union Referendum

    A few points for Silks: Supermajority thresholds are electoral game-rigging. If it’s a binary choice question, why should one side have a significantly higher minimum threshold for winning? It’s like Everton insisting that losing to Liverpool shouldn’t count unless they lose by 2 or more...

    I've included 3 bonus predictions. Scott can decide how many points they are worth (if any!) in the event of them being right. Posting now because I'm online and will probably forget if I leave it till later. WWE UNIVERSAL CHAMPIONSHIP Brock Lesnar (c) vs. Roman Reigns Bonus prediction...

    Scott Barton Any bonus points on offer for predicting stuff like MITB cash-ins, heel-turns, surprise appearances, etc.? If I'm starting this two PPVs late, I need all the catch-up opportunities I can get.
