TV spot #2. Quicksilver's accent, did not see that coming.

After Mesut Özil was actually really good last night, I thought the usual pathetic sniping from the press might subside a little this morning. No such luck. There genuinely seems to be a campaign against him at the moment, and it's getting unbelievably tiresome.

Sorry, but someone's already registered that username. Would you like to choose another?

It's been years since I last saw the first Matrix all the way through. I'd be interested to watch it again, just to see how well it stands up today. No plans to watch the others anytime soon though, the thrill of the original was always in its set pieces and aside from one or two sequences (Reloaded at least had the cool demon twins and the brilliant highway chase scene going for it), the sequels forgot that.

Thread cleaned. Since we're mindful of how quickly mild disagreements can get ugly online, we ask members to try and tread carefully, and to be aware of the fine line between expressing opinions/constructive criticism (which we're okay with) and baiting/bashing (which we’re not okay with). This post will be deleted in due course. If anyone has any questions or would like to continue this discussion, please feel free to contact me via PM. Thanks for your cooperation.

Hopefully Advocaat has more than a snowball's chance. In truth, any appointment we could have made at this stage would have been a bit of a question mark, but I'd sooner let him have a go than someone like Warnock or Redknapp.

Well, there we have it. You'd have to say that the best case scenario now is that we appoint a caretaker and that three from Hull, Burnley, Leicester and QPR do us a massive favour by getting themselves relegated. Whoever we appoint in the long term, we'll always be Sunderland. Great club, but terrible players with a terrible attitude, who see us as either a stepping stone to something better or a nice big payday when they've failed elsewhere. The next manager will be left with the same corrosive element in the dressing room and unless he's strong enough to stand up to it, the cycle will almost certainly start again.

Wazza not anticipating contact. There's a first time for everything. :lullaby: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ovewdru_Jjo&feature=youtu.be

Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch poster reveal. I think the expectation was that the promo series would wrap up with Wanda, Pietro and Vision, but two out of three might have to do. Overall, it looks like the costume designers are doing well here. I like that Wanda's outfit gives a few nods to eastern European style with lots of rings, medallions and pendants, but without making it too comic book-ish to work on film.

Witnessed the game first hand, unfortunately. It was up there with the worst Sunderland performances I’ve ever seen, and trust me, I've seen some corkers over the years. If not for the Villa players visibly taking pity on us in the second half, they could and probably would have eclipsed our stuffing at Southampton in October. Credit where it's due, Timothy has instilled some fight into the team and even appears to have solved the N'zogbia conundrum. I think we can all agree that big changes need to be made, but when your squad is made up of weaklings and shirkers who aren't prepared to pass and move, track back and do the basics, you wonder what can be done to make things better between now and May. I'm not saying that the criticism coming Poyet's way isn't entirely justified or even that he deserves to keep his job, just that there must come a point when we have to recognise that our seemingly never-ending malaise isn't just about the manager. To be fair to Ellis Short, he's consistently funded deals for players who really should be decent performers, and yet we constantly seem stuck on square one. We continue to throw money at a problem that shouldn't even be there, and every dreadful signing and managerial appointment only seems to make things worse. I can't pretend to understand it, all I know is that it's been happening for far too long.

The point of the game is to compare models from different eras, so we have to consider more than just the here and now.

True enough, although the individual writers and directors of the original trilogy were all basically working to serve George Lucas's vision. If there's no-one around to oversee the franchise in the same way Lucas did back then, then the three films could differ quite a bit in style. That could be a good or bad thing.

They’ve a director there in Rian Johnson who could certainly deliver, although it's a surprise to see them ruling out a return for Abrams at such an early stage. Did they tell him he wasn't allowed any more lens flare or something?
