Brook's retired the last two big fights he's had because of his eye sockets...I get the hatred between them and maybe they're both afraid of losing to each other (maybe one more than the other), but Crawford is a bigger opportunity. The chance to become world champion again and beat one of the very best, if he wins there'll be a lot less people taking the piss out of him. Khan v Brook is a big fight in terms of money, they'll both make a lot and probably sell out a stadium if it's available. But you can't knock him for going after a better fighter than Brook for a world title....crazy.

They’re fucking paradise is what they are. Crystal blue waters, softest sand in the world. Amazing.

I’ll be back in England by then mate. Yeah the classic backpacker route is the east coast, would recommend doing the Whitsunday Islands and Frasier Island, both absolutely amazing. Sydney is great, let me know how long you’re there for and I can give you some info on stuff to do if you need anything. Having not been to Canberra I don’t feel like I’ve missed anything out there, as everyone says it’s shit Perth/Fremantle is nice for a visit, lovely beaches and has Little Creatures brewery Definitely look into the East Coast, so much to do.

With Pacman and Broner on ITV4 apparently, Al Haymon moving into the UK market. BT starting to look up more as well, good competition even if some non-PPV fights are on. I hope DeGale is telling the truth isn’t close to retirement as I’d love to see some more decent clashes from him.

DeGale vs Eubank Jr officially announced....won’t be paying for that one. Could see Eubank winning just because DeGale has been through the wars now, and will probably propel him up to bigger fights because it’ll probably do well on PPV.

I know but we’re using title winning maths not real maths

Spuddingham Spud Spuds mathematically back in the title race...

lol

Didn't even know the fight was still happening. Not a proper contest but it's just the money that matters to Mayweather.

Maybe, but you can finish top 4 and win the FA Cup. No one will remember a top 4 finish but thousands of Arsenal fans will remember winning the Cup at Wembley multiple times.

Recent years Arsenal have won 3 FA Cups....Spurs have operated really well and there is a financial gap between them and Arsenal but even in some of Arsenal's worst years they've still collected silverware.

Just leaving this bad boy here. Obvs can’t take credit for it but Statsbomb predicted this earlier on in the season when the numbers seemed “arbitrary”.

Today I climbed a mountain/volcano and I can’t feel my legs anymore. The Tongariro National Park, most famous for being used to film scenes for Mount Doom in LOTR.

I did think you’d had a mare when you said that. Hang your head in shame

But you were competing as well. Youve said already Liverpool are the only competitors to Man City for the title yet refuse to believe you were in contention even though you went top in the January.

Arsenal Football Club. You can’t say you overachieved that season when you finished behind Leicester

Just had my Boxing Day shit, hope your Christmas dinners have gone down well

You were overachieving by not being able to catch up Leicester?

Currently in Rotorua, spent yesterday walking around an area of geothermal activity called Hells Gate before spending half an hour relaxing in geothermal mudbath. Pretty decent, there's a phenomena called the frying pan effect where the ground is so hot that it boils and spits water out like a frying pan. Amazing. Spent Sunday walking around Hobbiton....was a surprisingly good day even if it was absolutely rammed with tourists all pushing to get pictures. Managed to fall off from the group and just get some pictures outside the Hobbit houses. Drank at the Green Dragon as well. Off to Lake Taupo tomorrow, will see some waterfalls, do some sailing and then do the Tongariro crossing...as seen on Lord of the Rings, no real interest in the film tbh, just going to be a great hike.

Tottenham are two points off of City and have looked consistently quality all season. I’m not saying they’ll take it to a final day showdown, but writing them off is mad seeing as there’s little difference between them and Liverpool.

The last few years they have finished either second or third and if third, a point or two off of second. Currently they’re in the title race this season. They have been blown out of the title in previous seasons by strong Chelsea and City sides, but they’ve still been the closest thing to a contender in a blow out. On limited resources Spurs have done great to consistently finish where they have and they look like title contenders this season on another limited budget.

Christmas morning hangover Merry Christmas everyone

I’d love to see Spurs win the league, a proper club, a consistent contender, massively under spend compared to the likes of Liverpool and City etc. Would be great for the league

Shoutout to @Harvsky for shutting down some bigotry, the internet doesn’t always have to be full of cunts

I always thought Son looked like a very decent signing and it's probably because I've spent the last year living down under that I've not seen him consistently, but he looks banging this season. Who do you bring in up front when you have Kane, Son, Alli and Eriksen? Obviously Eriksen is more of a creator but the first three will all be on course for 20+ goals this season. Even Lucas Moura is on 7 goals already.
