Maybe there was something slightly off about it at first IIRC but then it quickly just becomes Bosch except (not a spoiler for you but perhaps for the original series)

  Reveal hidden contents

he's not in the police

I think that I struggled with the increased focus on some of the other characters with Bosch taking a bit of a back seat.

Bosch Legacy Season 2 was great as always. Nice to see Lance Reddick get in one last "**** Bosch" as well.

Don't know why but I just couldn't get into Bosch Legacy. Love the original.

Remember - Beale was the brains of the duo. Once he left, Gerrard was completely lost.

Amazingly Beale isn't even the only former assistant coach of his currently working in the Championship. 

Rewatching and introducing my son to Batman The Animated Series. Still absolutely brilliant.

 when the colleagues i work with that are into football are in the office it's great to chat transfer rumours or show each other funny shit we've seen on twitter or updating each other on our FM24 saves. not to mention a good old gossip about colleagues that you don't want to do on a Teams chat for obvious reasons.

I thought being in the office increased productivity and stopped people wasting time.

Learned about him in my economics courses. Very interesting man and one of the main men behind classical liberalism.

Yeah, I learned about him at uni too. More I learnt more I admired his views and his bravery to champion them at that time.

He's admittedly not perfect but nobody is.

Took me a minute to figure out what they're doing.

I was tempted to explain what they were doing but thought it'd be more fun this way.

For those stuck:

Might be more relevant to other teams sites because we all know

Agree he'd be fairly well known to Villa fan's, but most fan's in this country wouldn't gave a clue, let alone those overseas. 

Surprised nobody has posted William McGregor yet.

He did some football stuff or something. 

Jeremy Bentham. Was born in 1748 and was a leading theorist in Anglo-American philosophy of law, and a political radical whose ideas influenced the development of welfarism.

He advocated individual and economic freedoms, the separation of church and state, freedom of expression, equal rights for women, the right to divorce, and (in an unpublished essay) the decriminalising of homosexual acts. He called for the abolition of slavery, capital punishment, and physical punishment, including that of children. He has also become known as an early advocate of animal rights.

Hundreds of years ahead of his time and did a lot of good.

It's not remotely the same situation. In 15/16... At 21 gameweeks, Leicester were joint top, not two points off it. In the end the clubs that got closest to Leicester were Arsenal and Spurs, two other sides with no experience of winning a league. 

I'd say these points actually show that Murphy is talking nonsense and having that experience is crucial to winning a league. 

I'd argue the reason City have won it so much recently isn't because they have that experience, but more that they have better resources and larger/fuller squads. They're better placed for the tail end of the season as they'll have fresher players who are less burnt out due to better rotation.

You only need to look how we used to explode under MON at the end of each season to see how much this can affect teams.

Can you imagine a more out-of-touch awards ceremony, a set of prizes where the awarders seem to have more desperately "misread the room." What planet are FIFA on?

 

There's only one trophy that matters apparently. 

Messi won best player too.

It's all about marketing/Internet clicks sadly.

Lost Azaz, Lee Cundle, Kesler-Hayden, and Lewis Warrington this month, also Tyreik Wright has gone back to Bradford on loan.

As I thought Ian Foster is making use of his England youth connections with loan signings of Darko Gyabi and Ashley Phillips, they could do with a few more,

A lot of disruption for them which could easily ruin their season and send them back down.

Hopefully not though.

Does feeding will birds create an imbalance which is bad for nature? 

We've got a couple of bird feeders that generally benefit the smaller garden birds. And a couple of nesting boxes that help Blue Tits and Great Tits. 

So are there far more Blue Tits, Great Tits, Coal Tits, Goldcrests and Nuthatches than there should be. 

They tend to feed the little green caterpillars to. Their chick's in breeding season. Are those insects being decimated because of too many small garden birds? 

Are larger birds suffering because they're being out competed by the smaller birds? 

I don't know but it's something I've wondered about. 

Don't worry. There can never be an overabundance of tits.

Cov fans made and displayed (on a road bridge not at the stadium) a banner today showing an exploding helicopter. Disgusting at any time but especially given what's happened with Leicester's owners.

Another English player actually scored twice and ignored

Musiala isn't English. He has 25 caps for Germany, was born in Germany to German and Nigerian parents and only moved to England when he was 7. He played youth football for both us and Germany.

I'm just surprised people still play the lottery.

How do you tell the difference between a chemist and a plumber?

Ask them to pronounce "unionised".

Nah, I’d put him third behind Gareth Edwards and Phil Bennett

You could probably put David Duckham into the mix for England

I've got the dvd for the 1973 Barbarians game. Unbelievable try scored by these players.

Welsh rugby legend JPR Williams gone at 74

 

Brilliant player.

He was also my father in laws claim to fame. He did a training session at London Welsh (I think) and managed to stop JPR scoring a try by ankle tapping him. Was super happy with himself until the coach told him off for risking injury to JPR.

Out of interest what do you guys do when you struggle for motivation to get to the gym / classes?  I've only been to the gym once since New Year and today will be my first class since Christmas Eve.  It feels like a chore at the moment, and the last thing I want to do is let it slip to a point where I don't bother going at all.  

When it's feeling like a chore to go, try focusing on exercises that you enjoy and want to do, even if it's not the day for them.

Just do bench press, or deadlift, or arms or rowing machine or whatever you enjoy. 

It's better to mix your routine up but still do something rather than do nothing. 

If you need to spend a bit more time looking at your phone or whatever between sets on that day then so be it.

Make it enjoyable until you want to do it properly again.

What about the elite stormtroopers being beaten by raccoons with catapults and pebbles in return of the jedi?! 

Raccoons who then eat the stormtroopers.
