The Palace Fan

Can't really disagree with any of that. They had such a good thing going after Wrestle Mania last year when Sami Zayn and The Club debuted. Then you had AJ Styles going after the title and Shane drumming up the new era stuff. It's just sad that since the end of last year they've killed it with an obsession over the past (again).

This thread's dead. Just like our hopes of England ever doing anything in our lifetimes.

Have last years FA Cup runners up been added? I thought I mentioned it yesterday.

Why couldn't Jericho have just interfered and got Owens disqualified FFS.

They've signed with Ring Of Honor and are having a pretty big feud with The Young Bucks who are being billed as the next Hardy Boyz themselves. I imagine there contracts will run for at least six months.

I hope Galloway goes to Smackdown some point this year. That show is made for somebody like him to come in and make a big impact.

I had good flights with Ryanair. Sure they look a little tacky but for the sake of an hours flight it's not really something I cared about.

Completely agree with this. In victory Bellew must feel annoyed that he couldn't put Haye away given the injury. Talksport have really tried to drum up the 'family man' image that 'represents the people' to a point where you would think that before this fight he was on benefits struggling to pay off his heating bill. Yeah credit where it's due for that. At first I thought he was going to tire himself out but he managed to maintain that pace longer than I expected.

I've had to skip most of these posts momentarily because i'm watching Fastlane now. Seems very predictable at the moment. Much more of a fan of The Blue Brand myself. Some of what's gone on in the last week has been mad. Ring Of Honor have knocked it out the park. The Hardy Boyz turning up and winning The Tag Team Titles off The Young Bucks and then Bully Ray debuting and putting Adam Cole through a table. I hope that doesn't effect the possibility of Christopher Daniels becoming World Champion if Adam Cole goes WWE but there roster looks a lot stronger with the wealth of experience added. Impact Wrestling have been doing promos for Chris Masters and Matt Morgan returning to the company. Konnan has returned too with a new version of LAX which contains Homicide. Nick Aldis is likely to return too.

Went to Dublin last weekend to celebrate over a year with my Girlfriend. If you are thinking of going to Dublin I do recommend staying in the hotel we stayed in called The Clarence Hotel. It's very spacious, fair priced, it backs on to Temple Bar, they've got a great bar and restaurant, and to top it off it's owned by U2 and they're known to regularly frequent the bar when in The City. Drinking & Nightlife Temple Bar is everything you'd want from a drinking street in Ireland. Pubs and Restaurants everywhere. Everybody is overly friendly. Drinking is expensive. Even for someone that lives in London I thought the drinking was expensive. You're looking at on average around six euros ninety for a pint of Guiness. If you go with a female tell her spirits are a no no. They charge you for the vodka and then the drink so they can cost more than nine euros. Despite being a Rugby location watching any sporting event was easy as they're not bounded by the shitty UK laws. Every other pub had the football and the boxing on when it was Saturday. Tourism The Guiness Tour was as good as you'd expect. Was pretty surprised you could only have one Guiness with your voucher so you had to choose between pouring your own pint or getting a drink in The Gravity Bar. But they made the tour as good as they possibly could make it. We also visited Trinity College, The Goal, and the shopping centre whilst we were there. Trinity College felt a bit expensive just to effectively look at a scroll but the Victorian Goal was a great visit even if it was a decent walk away from the Temple Bar Street. If you're going away as a couple for more than three days I do recommend the coach tour around Wicklow Mountains. It took a whole day but that was definitely the highlight from the tourism perspective. I'd definitely recommend going. I'm not really one for sightseeing or walking but Dublin was a great experience full of interesting people and places which made it an enjoyable experience. Just remember what I said about the spirits.

Everton fans are the worst when it comes to Tony Bellew. There has to be a rematch. David Haye has gained a lot of respect for carrying on and Tony Bellew will be pissed he couldn't end it. Neither boxer will feel anything is settled after that.

Watched since the start of the season two. The mid season break is a ballache but I like how everybody is almost even because of the exposure they all get given. The ladder match between Killshot and Marty Martinez was an unexpected classic.

There was an interview with him when he signed for WWE again saying TNA spent a year getting the funds for him but once they had it WWE wanted him back. Sounds like a similar story again here. I think it could be a good fit if it's a long term contract.

No idea at the moment. It's so tight it's impossible to call. If we go down we should be down in the black hole for 5+ years but if we stay up we're effectively going to become another Sunderland. Either outcome isn't really appealing.

This weeks Smackdown was the best in years. The segments with Miz/Cena and Orton/Wyatt were something else. Just fingers crossed Jericho or Lesnar get involved this Sunday and the title stays with Owens via dq. Nothing more unappealing than two part timers fighting for the title at WrestleMania. Away from WWE, 'impact wrestling' have had a mad week. They lost Drew Galloway, The Hardyz, Mike Bennet and Maria, signed Del Rio and then Del Rio won the world title in his first match.

The artist formally known as Cabaye My Lover, FFS Murray, Colin Wanker, Ifill Good and some shit about Dougie Freedman here. Let me just say I'm delighted to have been headhunted. I shall be in Ireland the next couple of days. Looking forward to seeing what activity is like when I'm back.

La La Land - 8/10. Deserved an Oscar.

Because there is nothing I love more than talking to myself.
