Remoaners demonstrate sense of humour shocker. Fair play.

Dier's wonderfully needless and merciless 'man and ball' challenge on Ramos was like Grade A porn for defenders. Better than all three goals, IMO.

For me the main appeal of MMA is the gaudy spectacle of a fight. I do genuinely admire the fighters’ skill, athleticism, bravery, tactical nous and so on, but a fundamental part of the draw is the prospect of violent drama. I think fans who don’t admit to that are kidding themselves. There’s...

He’ll want a rematch. He’s that type of character. One of the more admirable things about him, IMO. And although he got properly schooled last night, he still has that KO power as a great equaliser. Tony should get the next shot but Tony vs. Khabib is a very distant second to Conor vs. Khabib...

Rematch in Dagestan. What's the worst that could happen?

Fun fact: Bruce Springsteen wrote this song for Elvis, who unfortunately died on the crapper before he received the demo. Pointer Sisters ended up recording it instead.

LAST TIME EVER (PROBABLY NOT) The Undertaker (w/ Kane) vs. Triple H (w/ Shawn Michaels) WWE CHAMPIONSHIP - NO DQ, NO COUNT-OUT AJ Styles (c) vs. Samoa Joe WWE CHAMPIONSHIP NUMBER 1 CONTENDERS MATCH The Miz vs. Daniel Bryan FILLER TAG MATCH I DON'T CARE ABOUT NO.1 Bobby Lashley & John Cena vs...

A remarkable piece of music, esp. from about 03:20 onwards.

If we’re going to be joyless prescriptivists about it (and I’m usually up for that), gerrymandering is the deliberate manipulation of constituency boundaries for political gain; and, as you’ve pointed out, that is irrelevant in a national plebiscite because there are no constituency boundaries...

To clarify for Laker: Fraud (noun) The practice of spending more campaign money than permitted by electoral rules (though still millions less than your opponents) while under the impression that it’s fine because, err, you consulted the Electoral Commission and they told you it was fine...

Okay, I have a question. I’ve asked myself this one more times than I care to mention during the last 18-24 months, so I would like to hear what others think. Anyone can answer, but I’m especially interested to hear from Remainers. Even people who think Brexit is a bloody terrible idea would...

Does he? I think ultimately he cares a lot more about being in No. 10; or, failing that, remaining leader of the Labour Party. If the polling wonks tell him he can U-turn without losing more than he gains, that’s probably what he’ll do. The litmus test of Corbyn’s EU-scepticism was the...

This is silly. I only brought up the winning and losing thing with regards to GE2017 to point out that you have form when it comes to interpreting results in a rather eccentric way, which is why I asked you to clarify what ‘smashing it’ meant in numerical terms. And you did clarify, so it’s all...

Your rabble won the second highest number of seats, the second highest number of votes, and the second highest share of the popular vote. On every key metric, then, you finished second. That’s why you’re in opposition. My reaction on election night was to swallow down my disappointment at...

Annie Lennox: Aberdeen's first, and only, international pop star (and hot as fuck in this video). Don't make 'em like this anymore.

Not content with my incredibly jammy 5 bonus points for Jeff's disappointing 'not a Swanton Bomb off the roof' bump, I am going to push my luck further and demand at least a half-point for my Samoa Joe vs. AJ prediction. Joe won. Not my fault the ref should've gone to Specsavers.
