Inverted

What a dive. Finally a proper glimpse of what Werner brings to the Prem.

Kepa is maybe one of the most bizarre and disastrous singings ever made - even for a club that doesn't really need to care about transfer mistakes.

That seems like a pretty clear cut red...

Chelsea's whole game plan seems to be waiting for a chance to get Werner running at Fabinho, but he's not done that well the few times he was given the chance.

Southampton have conceded the same goal 4 times.

The sad thing is that if the GOP manages to get another Justice appointed, her long-term historical importance will stem more from her decision not to retire while the Democrats could replace her, than from any of her achievements.

In The Mood For Love (2000) I have no idea what Hong Kong looked like in the 1960s but I'm willing to take this film's word for it. Such a visually beautiful movie, it just feels like so much passion and love went into making it, filming it, and finding the perfect actors for the roles. Even though I lost the thread of the plot a couple of times, it was so pleasant on the eye that you could watch it without any idea what's going and still enjoy it. 9/10

I don't think there's anything intrinsically wrong with wanting to look at the theme of how kids deal with hyper-sexualised mass culture, but if I wanted it done with moderation and taste I wouldn't look at French cinema. They seem to want to take things a slight bit too far. The difference is that people will turn off a film with 30 minute lesbian sex scenes, or a CGI foetus being tore out of a womb, and forget about it. But actual kids being involved hits peoples' sensibilities completely differently.

Just finished these two, currently close to finishing this off: Not usually big on poetry but I'm really enjoying Milton. There are lots of lines that really stick with you, even after just one or two reads. "The mind is its own realm, and in itself Can make a heav'n of hell, and a hell of heav'n" (Think that's how it goes, at least)

The most contentious decision of the game was probably Van Dijk's disallowed 2nd goal more than either of the penalties. Koch seemed to slip more than anything.

Both sides were in a way the opposite from last season, and it made for a great game. Leeds were freakishly clinical and Liverpool were freakishly soft defensively.

It's fucking mental. All of the UK governments are guilty of the same flaw of being shit scared of upsetting people, all the while introducing half-measures that blatantly insult people's common sense. Yes, people don't want restrictions on their life, but they'll much more readily accept being told "don't meet up with your mates indoors", than "don't meet them at home, but go see them in the pub so long as you pretend you all live within 3 households for our sham track-and-trace system". The mind grasps absolutes a lot more easily than half measures. And I can say for sure that a lot of people I know who were previously very observant, even paranoid, about the measures, have stopped taking them seriously for that reason.

Officially one week done as a trainee solicitor. My brain has felt pretty fried at times but overall my colleagues are pretty supportive and patient. I'm also going to be working from home mostly so I don't always need to get up at 5am for the Glasgow-Edinburgh commute.

Neuer TAA - Upamecano - VVD - Robertson Thiago - KDB Messi - Mueller - Ronaldo Lewandowski I think Mueller is being slept on a little - 8 goals and 21 assists in the league is insane.

I think Bayern let PSG have some stupid chances in the dying minutes which just shouldn't really be happening. It's one thing to be brave and keep your line high, but there were moments where they were left basically man for man at the back.
