@ScarredForLife2 @Drenboy36 Great thread on this here bsky.app/profile/raynew…

Yorkshire TV's children's show Music Scene adapted M.R. James' MR HUMPHREYS AND HIS INHERITANCE in 1976, illustrating the importance of music in TV productions. And it terrified its young viewers with this genuinely startling sequence. Big thanks to @Drenboy36 for the heads up!

If I was a teacher I'd wheel this out on a Monday and force the kids to watch Badger Girl, Geordie Racer, and The Boy from Space....

@ChrisCowlin Lloris said “battering”?

Hugo Lloris on Antonio Conte: "I found Antonio Conte to be quite a character, driven by victory, which gave him energy, but he found it very hard to control his frustration when we started drawing, let alone losing, because his inner torment had to get out; and if he was tormented, then everyone had to share that torment too, and things could get very complicated very fast. "He told me once that in any given week, his happiness lasted an hour, just after winning, and that was it. In training, he oversaw everything, organising tactical sessions with 10 outfield players against one goalie; but it was hard for the creative players to find their places in his restrictive game-play. The rigidity of the structure and set sequences did us a lot of good at first but, after a few months, teams learned how to play against us and it became tougher to win. "During matches, Conte was as extreme and eruptive as he appeared, garnering respect and fear. Such a strong personality pushed wingers to prefer to play on the side opposite the dugout. I have never forgotten our first defeat under Conte: a 2–1 loss to NS Mura in Slovenia in the Uefa Conference League. Even though I wasn’t playing, I was still entitled to his screams and reproaches, just like everyone else. In squad meetings, we would spend at least 30 minutes a day doing video analysis, not forgetting the interminable preparation camps at our training centre. "After the defeat in Maribor, he had screamed: ‘Mura, Mura, who’s Mura?! We lost to Mura!’ I can still hear him. "If a player needed a little love, he’d better not knock at Conte’s door. For Conte, trust is earned in training. He has no filter; he’s sincere, honest. He’s a manager who lives only by results, whereas from a player’s perspective, performance is important too. That season, when we lost 3–2 to Manchester United (a Ronaldo hat-trick), a result which didn’t reflect our performance, I told Pierre-Emile Højbjerg and Harry Kane in the dressing room: ‘They may have just beaten us, but I bet you we finish above them.’ And so we did, ending up in fourth place after battering Arsenal 3–0 on the last day, situating ourselves halfway between Conte’s demanding nature and a little self-management because, by dint of being whipped and screamed at, we eventually stuck our fingers in our ears." #COYS #THFC

@footballconfid1 👀

@gethill Absolutely… And agree…. THE TITLE CHALLENGE IS BACK ON!!!! 💪😃👍

Tottenham (13pts) next 3 games: Crystal Palace (A) Aston Villa (H) Ipswich (A) Arsenal (17pts) next 3 games: Liverpool (H) Newcastle (A) Chelsea (A) Are you thinking what I’m thinking?! 🫥 #THFC #COYS 🤍💙❤️‍🩹 #AFC

@Billie_T Him and Redknapp crestfallen

Frank Lampard sounds fucking gutted having to analyse our goals. Hold that you wanker

@footballconfid1 Well of course. On the other hand, that Ipswich games feels like a Dr Tottenham draw. Getting very tight up top

@gethill Not sure… But if we win tomorrow and beat Ipswich, they have to beat an in-form Chelsea, and away from home, to stay in front of us…

@robsaunders1 I particularly like the full 25 mins the backpack stays on, and the half hour of dishwashing before loading the dishwasher

Always such a cold, overwhelming sadness to these. They seem to have ‘everything’ yet…

@footballconfid1 What were the odds on both teams being 1 point better offer by the end?

#nooticing 👀

@craig_dw @footballconfid1 @SpurzForEver Defo Davies

@footballconfid1 @SpurzForEver Ben Davies or Harry Winks Winks played the pass to Trippier for Deles goal, looks around the same sort of position

Who’s the player in the far left background ?

@BackPagePod “I went along with it to keep the peace, safe in the knowledge that I already owned a house” got a genuine lol this end

Scroll down your camera roll for about 15/20 seconds find a random gaming pic and post it below I’ll go first 😂

@AnthonyTeasdale 🫡

I'm 53 today. I've gone from "Bloody hell, I'm old" to "God, I'm so lucky to still be here". God bless us all!

@RadioheadClub If you sung “sleep”, not “rest”, at a Radiohead gig you’d get mad evils

“Please could you stop the noise I’m trying to get some sleep” 🤭 Your replies 👇

@Carl0sAlbert0 What’s this? Their top 15 songs?

@Michael_French @robsaunders1 @Chris_Dring Is that what he’s saying? I agree with your statement but I didn’t get that from that clip

@robsaunders1 @gethill @Chris_Dring It's spot on - all the shows are so premium these days, every moment so expensive, and so few episodes, that all the edge is shaven off.

Interesting. @gethill @Chris_Dring @Michael_French

@Chris_Dring @robsaunders1 @Michael_French I don’t get what his point is. Big Matt Stone fan, and I concur that a lot of the business model of streaming is fundamentally broken. But can’t nail from this clip what he really means

@robsaunders1 @gethill @Michael_French Is that a streaming thing?

@Jam2go @SamSykesSwears Nice. Very Forbidden Siren

GANGSTALK: A Horror Game from the POV of Your Stalkers

@SamuelWRoberts @schillingc Three definitely divides and conquers. In a straight battle you can completely fudge it in a way three keeps it honest

@schillingc @gethill It was the most competitive set of picks ever. Was surprised but delighted to win, attribute that to sneaking Persona 5 and Yakuza 0. Resi 2, Last Guardian, God of War, Nier Automata were all on my wishlist.

Just want to thank everyone who voted against Bloodborne. x.com/BackPagePod/st…

Trying to work out if this tweet is referencing me 🤔 x.com/mrbasil_pesto/…

@schillingc @SamuelWRoberts Dave’s felt more “well that’s PS4 to me”. If anyone had had Resogun they would have won, though. Shocking omission
