can't see a thread on the lad, but I think he deserves one.

he's a very old school pass and move type of footballer, the sort that Kenny played with and then bought during his first spell here. Can see why he was Kenny's number one target this summer.

Who would have ever imagined Tonya Harding as the subject of a great movie? Tonya Harding, who is remembered, if at all, as a national joke; whose real achievements as a figure skater are completely forgotten, and who was at the center of a scandal that was even more ridiculous than it was shocking. How could a movie about her be anything but a cold-blooded farce, or the equivalent of one of those tabloid shows that you accidentally stumble onto on a Saturday afternoon, and then wonder what’s wrong with your life that you keep watching?

These aren’t just Christmas movies: They’re like Kay Jewelers commercials on steroids; movie-length advertisements for small-town America, capitalism and twinkle lights. There’s so much Christmas magic packed into these two-hour (including commercials) movies that even the most hardened cynic will fall under the spell ― and many Americans have indeed fallen under the spell, making the Hallmark Channel, which airs little else this time of year, a ratings juggernaut.
