I have a very bad feeling about how this will finish, but I'm just so proud that I get to sit here in my 2016/17 shirt watching Spurs play in the Champions League Final.

I watched the MK9 story as a refresher and the female characters were over-sexualised to the point of it being uncomfortable, with the pinnacle being Mileena fighting in just a bandage. Not bandages, just one bandage covering the most vital areas. Thankfully everyone is a bit more realistic from MKX onwards.

He's never been the most mobile, but yeah nowadays he's just there to swing as hard as he can. The bizarre thing about this tournament is that despite (stupidly) removing four associate nation teams from the competition the tournament is somehow four days longer than the last one.

The Windies look very dangerous if the pitch conditions suit them, I still think their batting has a possibility to implode though. Very professional job from England yesterday, hell of a catch from Stokes, even if it was only that difficult because he was horribly out of position

Oh no, Ashley Cole didn't get promoted. How sad. Very, very sad.

Fun little fact I found on Reddit: With Danny Green playing for the Raptors it means that a player who is/was a team-mate of Shaquille O'Neal will be playing in the NBA championship finals for the 35th consecutive season.

I'd usually defend Hamilton, but he has been insufferable this race with his constant moaning. It's Monaco, nobody's going to overtake you, just drive the damn car.

Gasly has been given a three place grid penalty for perhaps the most obvious impediment ever on Grosjean. It caused Grosjean to yell "Fuck" repeatedly into his radio for ten seconds.

Yeah, I was happy with either team going through originally, but Drake has completely swung my favour towards the Raptors losing. It takes a special form of delusion to believe that you're so important that you can directly get involved with a team's head coach, and I'm half expecting him to end up in a huddle during a time out of game 6 because nobody seems inclined to stop him.

For the longest time I thought Peter Dinklage was British because I'd only ever heard him doing a British accent, apart from the episode of 30 Rock he was in where I assumed he was putting on an American accent.

The Dutch GP is officially back in 2020 This quote from Jean Todt is a little concerning: Isn't that something that should be done before they agree to race there?

I've watched several, they can be a bit of a grind at times because the layout of the circuits really doesn't help overtaking, but then you get mad finishes and any crash usually results in a multi-car pile-up due to the lack of space. I'd watch more if there was ever any proper advertising for them, I assume because the races are spread over so many channels (BT, EuroSport, BBC and another one I've forgotten) that they don't promote the races very often and I never know what weekend they're running and which channel the race is going to be on.

Brighton have sacked Chris Hughton, evidently because somehow keeping their mediocre team up and getting to the FA Cup semi final wasn't enough. Just ridiculous.

Four Premier League teams in the four European final spots and the likely league champions aren't even one of them. Surely there has never been a stronger league in modern history.

Best fighter intro conversations so far:

More Endgame musings

Holy crap I can't even. Just in tears. Absolutely amazing.

Hopefully this will be the year Trump needed to reach the potential he's always shown, and can carry it on for a while to come. His play is so much fun to watch when he's on form. That double from Higgins and the subsequent reaction from the crowd was probably the highlight of the final though.

I don't even know if we're keeping EndGame things in spoilers any more (I mean it's nearly two weeks, surely anyone interested in this thread would have seen the film by now?) but to be on the safe side, below relates to a major incident in the film and a casting decision relating to it.

Didn't it fall right into the hot zone of the dawn of 3D screenings? In the sense that it came out in both formats as a pretty big deal and therefore justified people seeing it multiple times.

$2.1 billion dollars in its first 11 days, making it already the biggest grossing Marvel film ever. It's also reached the $2 billion mark quicker than any other film, beating previous record-holder Avatar by 36 days.

I don't like reverse grids either, I'm certain it encourages sandbagging to get a better position for the next race which seems completely out of the spirit of racing itself. I do remember being a strong proponent for the elimination/knockout qualifying format they tried for one race and scrapped, and I am willing to admit it was in fact an utter disaster.

I loved the one-lap qualifying, constant action, no traffic related issues, no tyre choice impacting the race setup issues, just driver skill with the uncertainty of the weather. Of course it did usually result in the Trulli Train come race day.
