Some great old footage here, but the training methods may be regarded as a touch 'caveman'

Grand maester George RR Martin as one paper put it.

After my disappointment with much of this season I didn't dislike the ending as much as I was expecting to - that's not to say it was good but it felt like like it salvaged something after what had gone before in a rushed badly paced manner. Think my feelings towards this are with many here on pacing, character development etc and about the most damning thing I can say is I'm actually glad its over now, as don't have any desire to see more of season 7/8 quality compared to what went before.

Clash Royale - I'd delete every other game on my phone to keep that one

I know its not for everybody but its the heavy details that are stripped out of this are what make it so playable for me, my brain fills in the rest. Even my pre season is enjoyable just knocking in a few goals, giving squad players an outing and playing every game with reduced effort to 'ease the lads into the season and find their fitness' - I know that is crap and the game isn't doing anything of the sort but in my mind its happening ! I'm also hoovering up some good stat, low potential, older players to supplement the gaps in my squad - and will then focus on bringing in the youth players. At this point expensive younger signings don't work for me when I get old heads cheap as chips.

Having got promoted I've not played this for a couple of months - picked it back up this morning to start my next season and that little break meant I'd forgotten how addictive the game/management loop is. Spent my promo gains on a couple of facility upgrades to aid player recovery post match and now can see player traits too, love my defender with the 'red mist' trait meaning he's prone to being sent off. Come on @GamesGamesGames, you need to spill on your 'different play thru' thing, we need to know.

Incredibly tense doc on BBC iPlayer called The Last Breath - North Sea saturation divers have an awful accident and events unfold in almost real-time, lots of footage from the day interspersed with interviews ( one of the divers is a bit weird) and careful reconstructions. Title is obviously a clue but this is best enjoyed if you can go in cold.

I hope Unai Emery is taking note here about the efficacy of giving your second best keeper a sentimental send off in a big and important final for your club.

I got some top 30 places and in one game a number 14, was delighted with that on my way to unlocking the old Gameboy theme despite still not having a fucking clue what T spin is. I take a Corinthian view to Tetris that you line bits up and drop them in the slots you've created, all that flipping bits into a space they can't fall in naturally is just cheating and sounds like something foreigners would do.

This weeks cooking choice resulted in a semi heated debate in my household as to 'what are the best meatballs ever' - for me its hands down the Serious Eats Italian ones I've made several times (they are one of my fave meals ever) but my other half was adamant that for her it's the teriyaki chicken ones, and apparently I've been depriving her of them since October last year. So having got that conversation out the way this weeks dish is teriyaki chicken meatballs. Even if you don't fancy the meatballs the teriyaki sauce recipe is incredibly simple once you've located the ingredients, and tastes better than anything you'd get out of a bottle. https://www.recipetineats.com/teriyaki-chicken-meatballs/

i found it pretty tedious, races too long, monotone engine noise and not much excitement.

Although Auba got more goals I think Lacazette was far more important to the overall team this season, his fire and almost Vardy like level of ratting and annoying defenders meant he was often the only player on the pitch displaying any level of aggression or spine. Remove that from the pitch and things not very rosey. Plus he's much younger, I wouldn't consider selling Lacazette unless we can extract silly money from somebody like Liverpool did from Barca from Coutinho, and the replacement has to be done before it gets announced.

I've never known a show where the podcast that sits alongside it is almost a mandatory listen to add to the enjoyment - its not that the show leaves anything out, just that the podcast fills in the details and answers every time you ask the 'really' question.

I thought the last couple of seasons have been dire but found the ending quite satisfying

despite downloading this when it came out it somehow passed me by a bit - not really sure what is going on but enjoying it this morning on the old GB theme, may take me 25 games at 4 points a game to unlock at present rate.
