Burnley v Spurs Steve Bower described Romero’s diving bullet header as “towering”. I thought a towering header was when the player rises above all around him so can a diving header be towering?

@boydhilton.bsky.social will be interested to know what you think of His & Hers. You will enjoy the first few eps but after that - oh boy - it spirals into utter stupidity…

@footballcliches.bsky.social Harry Wilson was described again over the weekend as having a “cultured left foot”. But it made me think that I’ve never heard anyone say “cultured right foot.” Have you guys? And if not, why do you think this is??

Harlen Coben writes a good yarn but the execution is always incredibly naff. All his productions have awful acting and cheese ball actors. They’re also derivative - quirky hit persons? Again? In more subtler hands, his TV stuff could be so much better…

I see we have a Canadian player from Vancouver Whitecaps? Don’t expect miracles #NCFC fans. I live in California & MLS is a horrible standard. It’s the retirement home of football. Div 1 standard at best. Most teams in the championship would be near the top. I wish Ali well, but fear the worst #OTBC

That is a fantastic win. So much fight, passion and commitment. Shame about the keeper error but in his defence he told the defence to lush up and they didn’t. Would’ve lost that 4-0 with “Manningball” against a very physical QPR. But in Clement we trust. Happy New Year Canaries. #CanaryCall

Can I suggest a new way to assess next year’s shows? You all rate each show reviewed every week out of 10. Like Top Gear’s speed lap chart you review continuously your top 20. Then the agreed end of year Top20 is there to be discussed. You’re welcome… @kayrib23.bsky.social @boydhilton.bsky.social

@podsaveamerica.crooked.com spare a thought for us lovers of the most popular sport in the world being raped by FIFA & Trump at the 26 World Cup. Dynamic pricing & accommodation are scandalous (& flights). Loyal fans are being priced out and the stadiums will be empty. Another bad look for the US…

Thanks @kayrib23.bsky.social for introducing me to “COMEBACK”. I must have missed it when I moved abroad around the first series. Anywho, it is maximum cringe in a good way but I can’t get James out of my head when I’m watching knowing how much he would be off his trolley on cringe…

@acjimbo.bsky.social bit of Christmas fun? My friends $ I recently discussed who would play the roles in a Remake of “Escape to Victory”? The Ipswich players would be replaced by City players. Michelle Caine’s role would be Tom Hardy’s. I’d love you lovely guys to have a discussion about this???

So what are your favouritist opening TV titles? And your least favourite (you can’t have ‘The Morning Show’ as that’s a given)…
