Watched Moneyball last night. Really good. Interesting. It's a model soccer uses now.

This is the wrong thread for this discussion, but it's pretty much NOT the model that soccer uses; even though it should be.
Sure, one or two clubs or doing bits and pieces, but no club is doing it properly and most are pretty much ignoring it due to the old fashioned views expressed within football clubs.

Did the Boston Boys not bring the same ideas to Liverpool?

The "Transfer Committee" at Liverpool was pretty dysfunctional by all accounts; hence why there were hatchet job stories via leaks this by Rodgers: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-3262490/Liverpool-s-head-technical-performance-Michael-Edwards-laptop-guru-did-number-Brendan-Rodgers.html

Generally, it's been very difficult to properly embed an analytical viewpoint into clubs.  I'm sure there are many reasons for this.

Any reviews on guardians of the galaxy 2 - I'm a massive fan of the first film- was told yesterday by someone who also was a big fan that they were quite disappointed.. storyline v scattered

Got to see it at the weekend. Like the first film an enjoyable family film.  Character development was mostly good with some decent new characters another great soundtrack for the movie with many classic hits. The end credits has a number of added scenes, looking forward to guardians of the galaxy 3 already.

Denial
A courtroom drama about the libel case brought by Hitler apologist David Irving (Timothy Spall, effectively repellent) against historian Deborah Lipstadt after she described him as a "Holocaust denier"

I thought it was an excellent film,  but  more an outstanding document of a very satisfying piece of modern history, than a film per se.

Get Out was a very average movie I thought, I think perhaps its getting better plaudits that I think it deserves because its highlighting underlying racism in American society, but yet they still had a stereotypical black man as his friend. Worth watching but wouldn't watch it again.

Gifted - very good.

Alien Covenant. Shite!

I thought it wasn't bad up until the end when they went back up into space, that last 20 was predictable and shite.

I liked get out but feel it would have been much better if it avoided all the coagula shit and it was just a case of good old kidnap and murder
