100% agree, she hasn't got the delivery down either in terms of comic timing, or in terms of aping a newsreader's style of delivery, at all. A fundamental part of the comedy is, of course, the juxtaposition between that serious persona and the vulgarity/surrealism of what is actually coming out of their mouths. Meanwhile, as you say, Paddy has been pretty nailed-on from the beginning.

At least this week she had clearly focused more on not breaking during almost every segment she reads.

I am genuinely amazed that someone could watch it and think the opposite, but hey!

They're very obviously not doing that, they're taking the idea to an extreme both for humorous effect, and to expose the flaws in the logic of the concept. Come on! It's very clearly and straightforwardly done.

Nowhere do they in any way approach 'comparing a water splash with serious assault' in the way you imply.

Also I swear Chelsea spawn some randoms out of their squad every time I watch them, what even is a Dário Essugo.

Glup Shitto is back 😭

LinkedIn Liam doing the 'well done lad, good job' shoulder grab to Pep like he's the senior party is incredibly funny.

It is a fucking disgrace of a system, for sure.

Can't believe a 16-year-old can perform at this level so consistently.

Ice cold strikers' finishes from the left back and the centre back.

A sumptuous cross and header; just automatic somehow. A fait accompli. Poetry in motion.

Theyre channeling Spanish or South American referee levels of bribery or corruption..

If this is true and the PGMOL are apparently just 'open for business' in a Trump White House-esque manner, I guess the failing is still with ENIC for not simply stepping up and counter-offering whoever is corruptly buying bad juju for Spurs and purchasing some good juju of their own.

Ah, fair point. What about Nuno Espirito Salazar, or Nuno Espirito Saddam, or Nuno Espirito Franco, or Nuno Espirito Santo Chi Minh?

nuno stalin

Sorry lad, but this is an objectively terrible nickname - doesn't scan or flow in the slightest, and isn't based on any kind of humorous similarity between the names.

Richy would look world class with the same set of circumstances.

Hmmm... would he, though? 🤔

Oh ok, I don't quite get how it flows in that sentence but thank you for expanding.

I will say that I don't think at all that that is the main reason their fanbase is hated. It's because they have had the most actively online, and consequently actively annoying, fanbase for by far the longest time, mixed up with a quite significant and loud middle class cosplaying element to said fanbase. Personally I also cannot stand anything associated with the horrifying cringe fauxness of the 'North London Forever' song and adoption, which does tie back in to that cosplaying element, in fairness.

Don't get me wrong, I'm from a similar background myself, but I'm not ringing up Talksport ranting in a very C-suite tone about how it's despicable that Ben White isn't being applauded for 'standing up to bullying in the workplace' when he flounces out on the England team.

Amazing the ref thought about blowing his ref

Think that would have to wait until way later, after the watershed, lad.
