Whilst my team Leeds United haven’t even kicked a ball yet in the Premier League, our 19 year old CENTRE BACK Charlie Cresswell is currently the TOP GOAL SCORER in the Championship! 😂😁😁

Obviously looking for 17th upwards 😂 But last season was the worst season I have EVER known in terms of injuries, and I mean that for any team, not just my boys. Of course it didn’t help when Bielsa refused to add to his wafer thin squad in January. But we have added 7 players so far and expect 2 or 3 more, so as long as they stay fit (no longer training at crazy Bielsa levels) then I see no reason why we can’t realise a mid table finish.

 

Ultimately, it depends on how good Jesse Marsch is as a coach, but the early signs are promising. 🤞🏼

Some fans are being too ambitious, it's still early days. When we've had several seasons of down near the bottom and relegated a couple of times. I'd personally be happy with a conformable top half finish. You a footy fan? Who do you support if so.

Hey everyone!

Popped in to say, enjoy the weekend

good night!

[Hecko]

Good Morning Psychos!

My brothers a Newcastle fan. I like how they are not going crazy with money and being sensible, it will take a few seasons but I think you will be up there eventually.

With 40mil rejected for Maddison, it will be interesting to see if they go back in again (Leicester want 60). If they land Maddison, that could open the floodgates, though they do need to be careful what they spend before they realise European football.

 

I think you’re right though @Hecko give it a season or two and they will be up in the European spots at someone like West Ham’s expense I am sure.

 

I literally just read an article that highlights whilst teams like Newcastle can splash the cash on proven Prem quality, it shows just what a gamble it is for teams like Leeds who on the face of it look to have done good business, but have signed players outside of the Prem in a bid to find a bargain.

@MikeH5856 Did you find the time to watch The Northman buddy? And if so, did you like it?
 

Really keen to hear some opinions/reviews of this one.

I know you asked @MikeH5856, but thought I’d give my mini review I’d posted on Letterboxd a few weeks ago:

 

While I'm bummed I missed The Northman in the theater, the new 4K disc (with Dolby Atmos) gave my home theater a real workout and is certainly reference quality in many ways.

As for the film - HOLY stop using inappropriate language. This is certainly one of the very best of the year (so far). A fairly standard revenge tale set in viking times is elevated by the most gorgeous cinematography, production design, sound design and acting that this genre has any right to expect. Insane, no cut action sequences and hyper violence expertly delivered by Eggars and his crew are so bonkers that I can't wait to watch this again.

Skaarsgard is perfectly cast in the lead role and brings a necessary animalistic energy to the violent action scenes and a somewhat unexpected vulnerability to the thematic elements. The rest of the cast (particularly Kidman) are uniformly excellent as well.

But really I can't get over how amazing the movie LOOKS. There are dozens of frames I'd hang on the wall.  

Too bad the movie was a box office disappointment and we won't soon see Eggars with this big a budget again. Not that I'd mind another Witch or Lighthouse of course.

Sweet. Thank you @Gary K 👍🏼
 

As soon as I saw the trailer I figured I would like this, but just haven’t got around to it just yet. Will probably be an Autumn/Winter watch once I stop spending my free time in the garden, and more time on the sofa 😁

Good morning everyone! I hope everyone has a great Sunday!

My opinion on this one is not a popular one, but I hated this. I found the acting to be laughably bad. The story is basic and the pacing is boring. I am a really big fan of Robert Eggers films, but I just couldn’t get into this one. 3/10

No luck yet, sorry! I have two young boys and they have some kind of sixth sense - whenever I want to do something after they're in bed, they somehow know and do everything in their power to sabotage me. 🤣🤣🤣 We ended up watching a Shark Week thing on Disocovery+ and then I passed out.

 

Thankfully, @Gary Kposted a much better review than I'd be capable of!

Interesting! I thought it was Egger’s best film yet, or maybe tied with Witch. The pacing was a little slow, but that’s almost expected with Eggers and that would perhaps be my only complaint. Actors and set pieces were incredible in my opinion. I’d probably give it an 8.5/10.

I have to do some yard work today. 😭🤪 Then rewarding myself with watching one of my backlog of 4K discs.

Yeah, I know it’s a very unpopular opinion. I’m happy you and so many others enjoyed it because I really do enjoy his other films and I want to see more from him in the future.

That’s the fun thing about art - appreciation is 100% subjective.
