He absolutely was a fucking prince, btw.

Yet more Marvel Moiders action! Tried to get another one out relatively quickly. As uneven as my unmedicated heartbeat, but still one a week. Is Daredevil a terrible Catholic? Is being a terrible Catholic the key to being a great Catholic? Can darkness be shiny? Is a pun-based title ever good?

Happy Pancake Day to all who celebrate!

Asked to describe where the ‘tiny pockets of poverty’ in the UK might be found, Yusuf starts talking about tax funds being wasted on education in Wales. That kind of non-sequitur doesn’t sound very fiscally prudent to me - or intellectually cogent. Bullshitter.

Gladiators seems to have done better with its most famous gladiator than in the 90s. If Wolf was like a panto villain, Legend is more like a pantomime dame.

The more I see that Šeško goal, the more I love it.

Done another one of my half-hour moiders about Marvel: this time, Blade II - too much vampire? Just realised that I should have chucked a bit of Freud in there - feels very much like a psychological story of ego struggling against id divorced from the ‘real world’. Anyway, good M Bolton wig in it.

Looks like Frank can put the clippers away for another month. Are United struggling because they’ve not had a week off?

How can you give a red card for denying a goalscoring opportunity if Citeh scored? 😂😂

I really don’t like Milwall, not that they care.

Warm up your clippers, Frank.

Stop putting Ugarte on the pitch!

Can see this drifting to a draw.

Phew! Mbeumo. Relieves the fear of a 10-man Everton re-run.

Just as I was wondering what Michael Oliver was going to do to make it all about him this afternoon.

🤔…both.

Quite enjoying #TheBeauty, but the idea that Rebecca Hall can possibly be ‘upgraded’ is objectively ridiculous.

Done another one of my Marvel Moiders, this time looking at Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man and trying to work out why Tobey Maguire doesn’t quite cut my Spider mustard. Punk Lucy Lawless, though… youtu.be/DoSlB07s2N4?...

Wonder Man

The fuck?!

Case! I’ve a feeling he’s going to have a cracking last five months at United.

Jimmy Greaves on Eric Cantona’s infamous kung-fu kick incident, 30 years ago today…

If the stories I've heard are anything to go by, what Mark Haddon is writing about isn't too unusual. Lots of people in that generation became parents to fit in with the rest of society, then found they disliked it. I'm glad society has started to move on. www.theguardian.com/books/2026/j...

Wrexham’s highest ever league position might have been third in the second tier after three games in 1978. They’re currently sixth - in a playoff place. Exciting times.

On a whim, I cranked a quick vid about the Wonder Man series that’s coming out soon because I haven’t seen much chat about it and I think there are EIGHT reasons to get excited about it. Quite pleased with my quick turnaround - shonky production values are my friend.

Protest sign in Minnesota today...

My third Marvel Moiders vid, more mithering on about the movies and other related thoughts that pop into my head. Is X-Men (2000) about neurodiversity? Sexuality? Racism? Football managing styles? Or is it all about the beginning of the ascent of then Assistant Producer Kevin Feige to the pinnacle?

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

I’m really worried someone’s going to get hurt after this. There must be so much fury swirling around. #AFCON

Did Diaz do that intentionally? Did they agree to fluff the pen so Senegal would come back out? #AFCON

Ugh. Horrible way to end a final. #AFCON

Now Case is coming off and Ugarte is coming on all my excitement turns to fear again.

Remember, it's only technically Orwellian if it's from the Orwell region of England, otherwise it's just sparkling authoritarianism

That goal - especially on the end of offside goals, hitting the bar - has made me tearful. That and the headache I had.

It’s highly unlikely, but I’d really like to see Dalot gone by August and someone reliable in place instead. Not really the United way these days though, eh?

It’s going to be heartbreaking if this result goes against United.

Ball in the net. Is this as good as the game will get for United?

Maybe if Agatha Christie was hosting the dinner…

Done another podcast on Marvel stuff, I have. All about Wesley Snipes’ BLADE and how hip-hop saved Marvel. Some Marvel Moiderers always trying to ice-skate uphill.

I’m getting really tired of hearing commentary about how *opponent* haven’t done anything much but have still managed to take the lead. Ugh.

Wrexham yesterday. Macc today. Very pleased with how the FA Cup third round is going so far. #FACup My Dad would be delighted to see Macc doing so well on TV. He went to Wembley to watch them win the FA Trophy in 1970, I think.

Wrexham win! Two saves in the shootout by Arthur Okonkwo. Beautiful stuff!

Tragic that this Wrexham-Forest FA Cup game has been fenced off from terrestrial TV by TNT. It’s a belter.

Done a video about Marvel/MCU stuff because I need to get it out of my head. Hoping to do a few more, so you* have been warned. *Assuming anyone reads this.

The woman murdered by ICE: 37-year-old Renee Good.

In further swapping generational roles news, my 9yo is now telling me to get my shoes on when she’s ready to head out to school. So, infantilisation of the parents is ahead of schedule. It’s nice that something is - apart from climate collapse.

Oh, FFS! I thought that press conference was a bad sign, but INEOS are clowns.

Wrecsam currently 2-0 up at Blackburn at half-time and sitting in seventh. They couldn't do it again... could they?

So, having listened to 365 new* LPs this year, I have my Top 20** of the Year. A year that is already known as the Year of the Sax - well, by me anyway. * new to me, at least ** 21 because 3x7 is a better number. Ffwrdd â ni!
