[Paul Lake's Left Knee]

Not a huge fan of autobiographies, I even got bored reading Uwe's.

Footballers can be tiresome, and boxers, although four kings (about Hagler, Hearns, Leonard and Duran) and Hands of stone (Duran) were as good as Hatton and Calzaghe were bad, as you said Uwe's is quite dull but there are the odd gems, I enjoyed Lakey, Andy Morrison and Joe Mercer from a City point of view and Gazza and Paul McGrath were quite eye opening. I love my cricket and there are some excellent reads from them, but they are mostly better educated and more intelligent so that isnt a great surprise, the list of good cricket ones is too big to reel off for me. I'm not a huge rugby fan but Martin Johnson and Lawrence Dallaglio were quite good. Some good cycling books out there. In general the more cerebral the sport the better the autobiographies are IMO.

 

[Paul Lake's Left Knee]

I read a lot stony. I'll read pretty much anything, always have. I'm reading one at the moment about a group of 5 people thrown together by war. It's a bit gruesome in parts but quite good.

Neither does match attacks :-p

More likely to see me pouring over a scorecard than a footy mag to be honest.

Ha ha, knew I should have said Wisden ;-)

Ha ha, knew I should have said Wisden ;-)

I used to get the Wisden annual every year (the big thick yellow book) for Christmas. I am sure there are many on here like this but the default City book as well would be left under the tree by Santa, he was (and still is) a lazy fucker ;-)

Annnndddddd back on topic..... :o)

 

[Paul Lake's Left Knee]

Ok Bilbo - sorry.

Ray Donovan continues to be good, really enjoying this series, his kids are interesting as Zin said Conner trying to be a gangster like his dad, I wonder whats going to happen with that gun that Ray is going to have to cover up and I still think that Bridgette is going to get depressed like his sister.

The Night Of continues to impress. The hour seems to fly by. Very very good and brilliant shot and acted.

This is the vibe i got from the trailer Tom and can't deny my total intrigue. After GoT, i now need stuff to challenge me more.
Even Dexter feels a bit old hat now and i loved that, he was indeed a very neat monster.

Are you talking about the US version, I was going to give it a go but read it had been cancelled after a season so thought it cant have been much cop, very mixed reviews.

UK version with Max Beesley which I believe is the original the US was copying. Top cast, I don't think it will challenge you too much up until the ending which is very interesting but the opposite of the programme as a whole. Give it a whirl I finished it all at the weekend, wont take too much of your time

The start of it is apparently like for like with the UK version, then it digresses towards the end of the series, like I said it hasnt been renewed for a second series, which isnt usually a good sign. I might give it a whirl, but if its shit I am blaming you ;-p

Haha I have said from the off that despite watching it all I am very confused on my opinion of it! I stuck with it as I liked the cast. Cant see an American version of it being enjoyable so not surprised it got binned.

 

[Paul Lake's Left Knee]

So you are talking UK, TCIB is talking US, I am confused which to watch. You pair of twats ;-)

This ^ I don't know why more people aren't talking about it.

Looking forward to the court case.

Considering by the sounds of it the US version was scrapped I would say commit to the UK version!

 

[Barcon]

I thought the U.K version was great.
I wouldn't bother with the U.S version personally.

I've only heard good things about it, I'm waiting for it to finish and then I'm going to binge watch it, same with Preacher.

OK, on advisement I will give the UK version a go, Tom dont worry, I will blame Bacon now if I dont enjoy it.

Doesn't air in the UK til September I read, so maybe it will get more Bluemoon recognition then?
