    England game should be good at the very least!

    LOL

     

    The Premier League Fancy Dans let Colombia back in and almost lost it in ET.
    But four penalties that follow the Ade Brown Handy Hints guide to penalties: "SMACK IT IN THE ONION BAG" "(or toe-poke it at the keeper's face")
    Anyone who say England didn't earn that win is talking poppycock.
    Anyone who says they deserved it in90 mins is correct, but Colombia deserved to win in 120mins.

     

    Jordan Henderson should grow up.
    If we can sneak past our next two opponents Brazil or Uruguay will completely humiliate us with riling behaviour and better football. Or France will just do nutmegs.

    If Sweden beat us, I am going for a My Life As A Dog screening before their Brazil game.

  2. I doubt that game would have played out much differently if both sides had played 1st choices. 

    No one complains when the Man Citys and the Chelseas play under-strength sides during a season.

    And hardly anyone points out that technically right now Belgium are top of the FIFA men's rankings

    Meanwhile, here is the best ever article about watching the World Cup.

    Is this one Millarworld? It appears to missing swear offs, mutilation and NC18 splatter thus far.

    Yes. Mr Millar pretty much says so in the end pages 

  4. Having enjoyed Matt Kindt's work for many years imagine my surprise that is missed a new book from him.

    Someone on the This Week list mentioned Ether. What a charming book. Like Castle Waiting meets Adam Strange in The Okefenokee Swamp.

    Yay comics!

  5. I think I am down to Eternity Girl but I might be up to date with Shade the Changing Girl too. The way I buy the comics  is disjointed at the moment.

     

    But the latest EG is great fun.

    Different multiple origins are always fun.

     

  6. In the days of the Nothingness, many pretenders, usurpers and worthy apprentices came to replace John Constantine. 

     

    The latest if these is The Magic Order by Mark Millar and Olivier Coipel.

    And I like it.

    Take Zatara/Zatana & siblings. Add global conspiracy of magic that has rarely worked in Hellblazer and never in JL:Dark. Smother it with lashings of gorgeous artwork. Oh yeah and no "For mature readers" £#$%words.

    @@@@ing good start.

    I hope this sustains.

  7. I bet* this Graphic Novel will turn out to be the very book that SW Manor was seeking back in the days of Hellazzer.

    Remember**? That unfinished plot thread?

     

    *The Trading Places bet, if you're interested.
    ** I don't really remember this, just as something that appeared to be leading somewhere then vanished like an old oak table.
