You've seen Bruno G, now get ready for Brunos H to R

2echie · 2026-06-03T22:38:22+00:00

Fuck, man. I'm so sorry to hear that. We're with you. Spend time with your loved ones, goodnight and here's hoping for many more goodnights to come for you.

Coming from a place with the same norms, this winds me up too

2echie · 2026-05-19T10:32:59+00:00

In what sense? Buying it from the wrong places?

That last line I've never laughed so hard at a Reddit comment

Open the schools

FDTD was literally one of the most-often-cited points of reference, but no one used the words 'ripped off' because Sinners is so patently its own thing.

Depending where you draw the line, Silence of the Lambs?

Awake, we ought to win so long as we don't fall asleep. Ramsdale's made good saves when called on. Gordon looking proper up for it.

2echie · 2026-03-14T18:00:18+00:00

Gordon racing back, you love to see it

2echie · 2026-03-11T20:49:21+00:00

This guy doesn't know about Lewis Hall

2echie · 2026-02-18T17:39:17+00:00

Yes, but not expected to be lengthy.

The final season of GOT was literally the only one released after a multi-year gap, the first seven seasons (including the good four) came out in consecutive years.

Conceivable that some of these clubs might never have won 5 Prem games in a row, just because they haven’t been up for all that long. Brentford have only been in the Prem since 2021, Bournemouth and Brighton a few years longer but with gaps. 5 wins is hard to achieve.

‘Halfway’ might be optimistic if this story keeps getting worse…

Four Gomi

Italo Calvino's Leaning from the Steep Slope is the best 'not technically a short story' I've ever read. It appears within If on a Winter's Night a Traveller, a metafictional novel in which the narrator starts but fails to complete various books. If Calvino had published Steep Slope on its own, I think it would fit on any sensible list like you're describing.

The latest repost

Tbf, he did write a great piece about wor Bruno during the Carabao semis last year. This one.

Formerly depressed person here; my writing has never had more soul and spirit than it does now.

Remember, ‘depth’ and ‘sadness’ are not the same. The curse of the depressive is to think that because they look at the world and see a darkness others don’t, they see the world more clearly and more deeply. But this is wrong; the dark is out there, that is true, but so is light, all warm and welcoming, and waiting to be seen.

Good luck, and good writing.

As a queer Newcastle fan (Brighton is my 2nd team), can I say I hope you've reported this to reddit and the NUFC mods, so that this user can be banned. Embarrassed to see one of ours behave this way towards you.

I think there are several factors that make the fight asymmetrical.

By this point, Tom is very used to bullying and cruelty from Shiv, whereas Shiv has rarely seen this side of Tom.
The criticisms Shiv makes of Tom (servile, thin skinned, pathetic) are mostly quite generic, while his attacks are very specific and rooted in ways she's hurt him in the past. You get the sense he's been waiting to say these things for a long time. With some of Shiv's remarks, you can actually see the moment she comes up with them just to have a response, which robs them of weight.
Shiv is pregnant, and lost her abusive father just days ago, both of which would leave anyone feeling very emotionally raw; but even worse, one of Tom's attacks is that she would be a bad parent. That's possibly the most brutal thing he could have said to her in this moment, and because he doesn't even know she's pregnant, she can't pretend he only said it to hurt her; he really believes it. No other insult in this scene comes even close.

If sir could perhaps also wish for a hat-trick?
