wasn't ba the form player of the two when he was sold, with cisse shunted out on the left?
Ba was shunted on to the left.

Nailed on to score against us - probably why they're signing him.

Remember the first time i saw him act 'seriously' (One Hour Photo) as opposed to a comedic role and was blown away. Very talented actor and this one is a very sad loss.
RIP.

Shouldn't have been stupid enough to field an ineligible player.

I don't think you can improve on (proper, full fat) Greek yoghurt with honey. Maybe add sprinkling of chopped hazelnuts and a bit of fruit but I prefer it simple. Those Liberte ones are full of sugar.
Restaurant in Islington, The Olive Tree is run by a massive greek woman who makes her own greek yoghurt. Pairs it with homemade lemon curd for a pudding, which is insanely good.

Latter, you jackass.

The only people that like Frozen are the aforementioned 5 year old lasses and the 20-odd year old lasses that need a fucking grip. You must be in the latter category.
One of those latter lasses lent me the dvd.
The way they go on about it at work, you'd think it's a modern day Lion King. It aint.

Lemon drizzle with rosemary is where it's at.

Dreadful.

Frozen.
Absolutely cannot see what all the fuss is about.

Had to see what the fuss was.
So-so. Bit too weird having aromatic duck on a pizza. The lass had a caramelised pear & gorgonzola pizza that was awesome.

I had a crispy duck pizza at a microbrewery restaurant on monday.

Anyone seen this Deadpool movie teaser?
Made my eyes bleed. Then the fuckers 4th-walled me to make it even worse.

Well if we've signed one, we've signed Jamaal.

Walking around squinting and acting confused? (The man always looks like someone who has absent-mindedly wandered onto a film set and just gone along with it.)
Wishing you all the best Stevie, I hope the operation goes well and will keep everything crossed for you.

End credit scene for Captain America: Winter Soldier. Hydra have Loki's staff and are using it to experiment on humans.

Won't the next Avengers film include another infinity gem? Aether, Tesseract & the Orb are accounted for, The collector may well already have one of the others? I dunno. Anyway, the Collector is just an agent of the proper big bad; Thanos.
It would have been pretty hard to do an after credits scene that tied in, unless they just did another Asgard/Collector thing?
They'll probably have some new infinity gem introduced, although given the tesseract has been used to 'create' Quicksilver & Scarlett Witch then maybe it'll return instead.
The Collector has/had the Aether, one of the infinity gems, no idea about any others yet. Part of his motivation I'd assume would be to keep it away from Thanos, rather than for him. Then again they might be going a different route with the Collector in this universe.
Given the Aether's likely to float into the next living organism it touches, we could've had it going into the Collector, a being who'd be strong enough to use it. That would've been an awesome set up for the next phase of Marvel films. But instead we got Howard the Duck.
Not getting the feel that Thanos is the supreme all-powerful threat to the universe yet. Early days in terms of their long term narrative, though.
Maybe they made sure the end credit scene was that shit on purpose to keep fan theories going crazy.

Saw this last night at the IMAX at Waterloo. Really enjoyable blockbuster, they nailed the humour
Loved the bit with the prosthetic leg
and the action, but I agree the back stories were fairly twee & crow-barred in.
The Collector is a set up for the next Guardians movie.
Are you talking about Howard the Duck? It was just a daft Guardians of the Galaxy-esque bit of nonsense, which is fine. I don't think that scene was supposed to do anything but get a laugh, which it did.
Yes, Howard the Duck. I didn't laugh. I was more interested to know what happened to the Aether given the macguffins have been identified as infinity stones. We've had the teaser for the Collector, but he's been pretty castrated given his entire collection has been destroyed. (Apart from the Aether?)
Alright lads, which characters were you looking for some development on?
Was it Rocket the gun-toting racoon? Groot, the tree-like humanoid? The deadly and enigmatic Gamora? Or Drax the Destroyer? Or perhaps Ronan, the powerful villain with ambitions that threaten the entire universe?
It was more the director thinking "oh shit, we actually know fuck all about these characters - better put some back story in" and then having a quick Breakfast Club-style roundup halfway through a film that is essentially all focussed on action. Also, the almost-romance between Starlord and Gamora was so hastily and unnecessarily done everyone lost interest in it.
Enjoyable film from a brainless superhero action movie point of view, but they shouldn't have given it to someone whose only other significant credit is Super.
This makes me worry even more about the cornettoless Ant Man being shit.

Doesn't seem like Ben Arfa is the one being unprofessional.

Shouldn't have hit that bloody shot so hard.

You're not meant to put it in her nostril, like.
Don't think my lass would be keen if I asked for a nose job.

Went overboard with the paprika. Not enough salt.
Off my game at the moment.

Going to make some salmon tagliatelle.
Pesto, creme fraiche and sweet smoked paprika, for CT's sake.

Guardians of the Galaxy
Very well cast, some snappy dialogue and plenty of genuine laughs. Action sequences were great fun and the film looked absolutely stunning. Really superb.
Unfortunately, the Breakfast Club-esque sob story scene in the middle didn't work at all. Give the characters some back story, don't just have them blurt theirs out in a few lines.
Also, what the actual fuck was the point in featuring the Collector so briefly?
More importantly - that end credit scene. THAT end credit scene. Appalling. No scene-setting, no teaser for upcoming Guardians or general Marvel films. This was meant to bring us into the next phase and it certainly fell flat, other than to vaguely move towards explaining the macguffins of the previous films.

Mugrighter's powers are returning.
Great news to see you're making a speedy recovery, Stevie.
