This GIS contraption is a lot harder to stump than I would have imagined, I guess times have changed a bit since this thread's heyday. While I can of course appreciate that not everyone has the time, the inclination or the means to do it, converting the images into black and white seems to help. On the subject of the current screenshot, I'll take a stab at 'Science of Sleep'.

D'oh!

I guess this makes me a believer. If there's one thing I've learned over the course of this exhausting and relentlessly mental season of 2013/14, it's that predictions are a mug's game. Not that anyone (including Gus Poyet, I suspect) was actually predicting that Sunderland would be relegated, they were saying it as a point of fact and rightly so at the time. Indeed, the obituary I wrote for our Premier League status in this very thread not four weeks ago can still be found with only two clicks of a mouse. Now, we've secured safety with time to spare and in some style too, a magnificent run of five colossal results (at least three of which were completely mind-boggling) in as many games, and it's as if none of it even happened. A bit like when you come back home after a holiday and feel like you've never been away. In spite of survival with this group of players, I don't think we should be fooled into believing that we can rely on the majority of them. More often than not over the last few seasons, they've been dreadful. To their huge credit, Poyet and his staff have created a platform, but they must work sensibly over the summer in order to build on it. I'll worry about that later though, first there's the small matter of all the usual showpiece finals and the World Cup to enjoy.

Anyone been watching 'Live Another Day'? I was iffy at first, but having now seen the first two episodes, it's as if the show has never been away (except for the fact that Chloe seems to have transformed herself into Lisbeth Salander). Loved Stephen Fry’s turn as the British Prime Minister. Half David Cameron, half Boris Johnson. Still get a kick out of hearing the clock, too. Plus, Yvonne Strahovski.

Locke. Cracking little movie. Essentially just Tom Hardy in a car for an hour and a half, but amazingly captivating and intense. He only slipped into his Bane voice three times, I counted.

The £32m fee currently being bandied about sounds a bit low to me, you could nearly get Andy Carroll for that. With every passing week, the title race in Spain is getting wackier and wackier. Assuming that each of the top three win their next game and that Real also win their game in hand, Barca could potentially hand the title to Real by beating Atletico on the final day. I hope Atletico do it though, red and white stripes every time. Except Stoke. And Sheffield United.

Hopefully, the first item on the agenda for the next supporter's trust meeting will be to bring in a proof reader for the protest banners.

I wouldn't be against trying it, but I'd be a bit worried about the potential for unanswered ones to pile up over time.

In before the super-injunction! The argument put forth last weekend by the likes of Redknapp and Yorke for Ryan Giggs PFM (proper football man) to be given the job full-time because he 'looks the part' was only slightly short of outright madness. Even as a daft laugh, it shouldn't really need to be said that a successful track record is preferable to decent tailoring.

Never realised what an uncanny resemblance there is between Louis Van Gaal and Harold from 'Neighbours'.

Sensational, Fred.

The criminally underrated Torres has collaborated with Sharon Van Etten and The War On Drugs on a new song, recorded for web series 'Shaking Through'. http://youtu.be/7kuFLf2oXzI

Jose must have left the handbrake off when he parked the bus. The pressure will be on for Mourinho to win either the Premier League or the Champions League next year, any less and he'll most probably become the sacked one. Atletico were as excellent and as vibrant on the night as they have been all season, and Courtois is like a spider. It's going to be another wonderful final.

Let's do it then, starting from the next round.

Watching this evolve into more character-driven stuff has been really enjoyable so far. 'Turn, Turn, Turn' was a legitimate game-changer, and would have been a risky move for a show that's taken a while to find focus.

Considerable bummer. It starts on the 6th of May in the UK and I was quite keen to check it out, would watching the first season still be worthwhile or is the story left unfinished?

I've just given Andy a little reminder that it's his turn. I'm in agreement that we should probably consider tweaking the rules in the near future though. What if we made it so that members had to post a new shot within 24 hours of having their guess confirmed? If that amount of time passes without the game being moved on, they forfeit their turn and it becomes a case of 'first come first served'.

Another new from Sharon Van Etten appeared last night.

Hello, old friend.
