A cartoon by Ron Cobb (1975), showing a shadow of US B-52 bomber above cratered landscape. Two people who look like Vietnamese peasants look up; one says β€œthey’re having problems with their economy again.”

Would love to see anyone from the Brier make this shot without the aid of sweepers. Wheelchair curling may be one of my new favourite sports

Plus a couple to guarantee safety

Can't shake the feeling that Longstaff's experience is going to be important for us down the stretch and he's going to pop up with either a really key goal or midfield performance

Two wins from Cup Final. Two wins from premier league safety. Would have taken that as our early March standing at the start of the season #lufc

Probably our 2 most natural finishers starting. Nothing fancy, just get the ball to them in the box and let them do the business #lufc

With Fulham and Sunderland losing to lower league sides today suddenly feeling a lot more relaxed about the game and it not being us preserving the m"magic of the cup" #lufc

3-4-3 with Gudmundsson a wide mid and Gnonto and Nmecha either side of Piroe in a front 3? Or 4-4-2 with Ampadu somewhere in the back 4?

And am immediately really disappointed

Garnacho in front of Cucurella has got to be the most odious flank in all of football

It was probably going in from Moore's header as well

I'm more and more convinced that they just make up on the fly what VAR does, what laws it uses, and how they are interpreted

Parkinson entering field at full time yelling at ref. Bankes does nothing.

In fairness that was the sort of tackle Chelsea spent the whole of the 1970 Cup Final putting in

My stacks of CDs remain a major bone of contention with Mrs B, but I just can't bring myself to dispose of them. I also retain dreams of turning the cases/liners in to a rec room flooring mosaic.

Everybody assuming we should comfortably beat Wolves. They're one of the form teams in the division right now. It's going to be a slog.
