Just us two tonight. Let's me watch what I want to watch, doesn't talk or show me Facebook videos whilst I'm trying to watch it and doesn't ask me what I fancy for tea in four night's time. Great company.

Yeah, i liked that backstory behind why Kreese is basically such a dick, too. The pit with all the snakes in was clever and explains the fascination. I haven't watched Wayne no but I think you did mention that to me before funnily enough after a Cobra Kai chat so I'll definitely make sure I check that out this time.

I smashed it last night whilst 'working from home'. Yep, I'm quite happy how that went actually. Still enjoyable and a fun watch for a third series in. I would probably say given the storyline that the 4th season should be the end. It would nicely round up things given how they started to where they are at now, and it's been good to see the main collective of characters taking different journeys flipping from side to side. As always, its just bloody annoying the episodes are so short that its easy to binge and now we wait...

For 70% of that final, Price was playing darts from another planet. Was that 15 or 16 times he hit Tops before he finally missed? Insane. Then he began to choke. He very nearly bottled that. 11 match darts missed is shocking but he got there. If Anderson played half decent, he'd have made that 10th set 6-4 and you'd have been excited to see what would happen but in truth, he was piss poor.

Need to get started on it, been too long!

Yeah the shots on target market seems to be coming in quite regularly at the moment and as you say, with how open we are, it feels silly not to back it.

Not a bad little productive afternoon.

Well that's put a spanner in my works for Christmas personally but I'm sure there will be plenty of others in the same boat or worse. I'm prepared to obey the rules, but I know full well plenty won't which will be the frustrating part.

I'm sure it was very nice John boy, if only we could see the picture clearly

Given it will likely be a two fight arrangement, if they can't use Wembley the first time round, you'd like to think they will get it second time. Either way, they should fight next year, in the Middle East if that is an option. It's not ideal but it can't keep being put on hold. Life doesn't stop, you have to move on and the time is now whilst both are healthy, fit and in their prime.

Really? Has that been announced or is that reliable information from social media? That's horrific luck if so. Feel bad for him as he was on fire.

I hope we get the fight/s we all want to see now. No more talking, acting or whatever, get them contracts done and signed. There is no legitimate reason for it not to happen, everything is perfectly set for what should be the Sports event of 2021, that big it will probably happen twice.

@CaaC (John) He's nicking all your jokes mate.

I'm just gonna hazard a guess here, but having had that same look off my missus a few times, she is definitely sending strong 'Fuck you' vibes.

Oh no, it's not an attempt to dig out VAR, more highlighting the fact we saw two very similar decisions in the past 7 days and we've shot ourselves in the foot by being honest. I do wonder though whether because of that, it was ever initially looked at or not by the panel but it is frustrating. For the record, I'm actually with @Dr. Gonzo, I think it's soft as shit giving penalties for that, Brighton's and Fulham's. But seeing as the phrase 'letter of the law' get's bounded about so easily these days, it's frustrating when these little things occur against you.

Minor consolation, despite the Leeds result.

So Robertson was penalised against Brighton and Fuchs was penalised against Fulham. But because our player stayed on his feet, it's gone under the radar. This is the problem. Inconsistencies. If he goes down there, no one is really complaining it's a penalty are they.

My mate won a ticket in the ballot for Saturday's game, although it's come at the cost of £75 quid I think he said. Quite expensive that. Mind you, it's only once a season we visit so understandable...

Again, classic example. One line is on Watkins elbow, one line is the defender's shoulder. Not only that, but Watkins was being fouled and it was missed? It's so hard to comprehend.

I understand about the camera perspective but we don't have them so I can only judge on what we do have. If its not that obvious from the angles provided, you make a judgement call. The question the VAR official should ask is, 'is the replay enough for me to disallow the goal?'. If they are really unsure and it's that tight, award a goal. It's not perfection but I think people will relate more to the way that a decision is made on that basis as opposed to how it's done currently.

I don't have a problem with VAR looking at it but I have a serious issue with the lines business. Why should VAR waste the time they do using these stupid lines when the ref could just as quickly trot over, see its a tight decision and just say to himself, is it really that obvious for me to not award a goal? We don't need lines. Look at it once or twice with the naked eye, three times if it's really tight and if you're not sure, the answer is staring you in the face. Award the goal. I really dont think anyone can really cry about it if its that tight.

From what I've experienced of it this season, I'd personally be happy for it to be judged by the naked eye from the camera shot. By all means let VAR look at it, but if its too close to call from the views they are provided and the referee really doesn't know, give the goal. I don't think anyone can complain if its that tight. The lines are just not working for me. Horribly inconsistent. I won't be convinced otherwise. Rightly or wrongly, it's up to the referee to interpret penalty decisions, he may as well judge the offside too, let's not forget they should carry a decisive role in the game.

He has been massively overhyped. I can't say I've seen much from him to suggest he is troubling the major players in the division.

What a way to win and lose a grand final. Not sure you could quite write that. Just a crazy thing to happen in the final seconds. May well go down as one of the biggest sporting moments of the year domestically for drama.

Nice to see Bairstow giving it some to the South Africans. They normally like to get a bit chirpy in all so that will quieten them down.
