How did you get on with this (no spoilers)? I have it but not read yet - my kid rated it but qualified a little as not as good as his favourites. Big Joe never misses, though - very consistent writer. Seems like he cut through to mainstream sales...

The GC as a competition is virtually dead now.... But this race is something special. I was at the start in Auch this morning, and it was such a wonderful, joyous spectacle. Town centre jam packed at 9am, 4 hours before the start, a wonderful...

He's looking decent - Milan and Merlier are a clear level above anyone on a flat sprint right now. Much internet outrage today over teams like uno-x and tudor pulling the peloton and catching vdP, just so their sprinters can finish ninth. Good...

Such a mangled finale yesterday overshadowed a world class sprint from Merlier - came from way back, took Milan's wheel with ease and then beat him straight up. No one really in his league atm in terms of pure sprinting skill and speed. Much...

The Austrian side in the morning was actually lovely. My legs were fresh, the views were spectacular, and it was relatively quiet. The Italian side had none of that. A thick mist descended so you could barely see 10m in front of you, and it was a...

Totally agree. Our issue for some time has not been the strength of our starting XI (let's be real, not great, but not terrible) but has been the gulf in quality between the starting XI and the second XI. Has meant that any injuries result in a...

Acid bath dropped a couple of albums in the 90s that didn't breakthrough, and disbanded after one of the band members died. People are rediscovering them in recent years - like how TF did a band this good not make it huge? Hailed as sludge metal...

Read Jonathan Franzen's Crossroads recently, from a couple of years back. Technically brilliant as usual, doubt I've read anyone as good as him with characters in a domestic setting - usually one undergoing rapid deterioration. Weaves together...

Yeah, once I got on with my two mates it was a lot more fun I thought! Been really enjoying it

I like it a lot on first impressions - it's very hard but not in the typical fromsoft way of gameplay mechanics, more decision making and tactics. Very fun sessions but not relaxing at all, so it's a bit different in that sense. Classic Souls...

Beautiful. Redemption. If there was one rider I could choose to win a particular race it would be Simon Yates and the Giro. 2018 was horrible for him, so to finally do it, and do it on the Finestre, it is an incredible achievement and a...

You’re dreams have come true my friend

sniff it you negative ballbags

That ko by that moses kid was stunning tonight. Hats off to the yank for getting up to have a go after the first two knockdown.

Retire I would guess after this showing - nowhere near world title level at 147. Leaves an interesting legacy if he does hang them up - achieved more in 20 fights than maybe any UK fighter ever, but invisible to the sporting public.
