Niche sport, you could argue similarly that Peter Nicol should’ve got a general SPOTY nomination for his domination of squash. And Ma Long should’ve had tonnes of international nominations for table tennis.

You had me at Due South reboot. But let’s also take it to… I dunno, Netflix I guess.
Paul Gross remains a handsome man, even in his mid-60s. There’s always a place in this world for more Benton Fraser. Alexander Ludwig to play a young, up-and-coming Benton-esque mountie.

Klopp 100% would’ve dropped Mo. And Mo would 100% have had the same reaction, Jurgen says as much!

Yep, there’s a bunch of riders who will best another-year-older Roglic. But most likely someone from UAE. And it won’t be close.

If you’re trying to make the link I think you are it’s utterly daft and behave yourself.

I dunno, the Leeds match is more meaningful in some ways. You don’t get those points back. Lose (or don’t win) tonight and it’s objectively less impactful.

I think sentences without the intonation when they are delivered live can easily seem trite; when he said it I thought the tone was really spot-on (other opinions are available, of course).

I felt we were jousting and feeling them out to that point - last season that was a good half, some tweaks at the break and come out and win easily by a goal or two. To me, when we were 2-0 up that was an accurate reflection of the game overall to that point.

I do think we looked (as we should) objectively more in control than Leeds up until said Rodon gaff

Given it’s 31 years since the remake, would be interesting to see what a well executed third version would look like now.
