Ah yes, slight technical glitch involving an idiot who messed up the points for Bruna and Amber and, well, that's it. Fixing now.

That's it for today. Next installment tomorrow.

The Results (85-81) 85 (34) Natalie Roser 22pts 84 (59) Emma Watson 23pts 83 (35) Gigi Hadid 24pts 82 (NE) Bruna Lirio 26pts 81 (91) Amber Heard 28pts

Just references to last year's placings, in case anyone wants to compare and contrast. If a model or celebrity has a (37) next to her listing, that means she placed 37th last year. If she has an (NE) instead, she's a new entry to the list.

Yeah, believe it or not, it's actually never happened before. This is the first time that I've had to use a few of the highest-scoring women with two votes to make up the numbers.

The Results (90-86) 90 (70) Danielle Knudsen 18pts 89 (NE) Bianca Balti 19pts 88 (37) Kelly Gale 20pts 87 (NE) Cindy Mello 21pts 86 (NE) Olivia Brower 21pts

The Results (95-91) 95 (NE) Shlomit Malka 43pts (2 Voters) 94 (61) Alicia Vikander 48pts (2 Voters) 93 (NE) Nicole Kidman 12pts (3 Voters) 92 (72) Nicole Meyer 14pts (3 voters) 91 (NE) Demi Lovato 15pts (3 Voters)

Bellazon's Top 100 Sexiest Women of 2017 The Results (100-96) 100 (NE) Beyonce 30pts (2 Voters) 99 (68) Katheryn Winnick 30pts (2 Voters) 98 (NE) Madeleine Petsch 30pts (2 Voters) 97 (NE) Selena Gomez 30pts (2 Voters) 96 (NE) Isabelle Mathers 30pts (2 Voters)

Oh, one last thing before we launch into the list. Just to confirm that all points ties will be decided by the number of voters, and then the maximum points awarded by a single voter. Okay then.

Alright, we're ready to hit the town.

Oh crap, they're onto me!

I've come to view most managerial appointments through the prism of "will he make more or less punditry appearances on TV?" these days, which is why I was secretly quite pleased when old Pontius Pardew went to West Brom. Giggs becoming a fully fledged international manager will probably see him sought out by both the BBC and ITV to give us the benefit of his analysis at the World Cup. Therefore I'm dead against it.

Thanks for the offer Pretty. The scores are tallied and about two thirds of the pics prepared, it's just that I hadn't been feeling too well this past week, so BZ time has been mostly off the agenda. I'll be good to go in the next day or two, tops.

That's quite a lot of pressure.

When I catch up with that guy, I'll kill him.

Apologies for keeping you waiting, everyone. This show will be on the road soon.

McGeady has been a bit of conundrum all season really, even seemingly to Grayson who had previously gotten him motivated at Preston. The lad clearly has ability to burn and we don't have enough craft elsewhere in the squad to consider sidelining him for too long, but we also don't look capable of carrying anyone who fails to deliver consistently. Ultimately, I suppose you'd have to say it’s the reason he never played for one of the elite clubs during his peak years.

Sadly, getting off to such a bad start meant that our only realistic goal for the season was survival, and I do believe that Coleman is up to the task of making sure that happens. In the long term, as awful as it makes me feel to say it, I think it could be a long time before we're seen again in the top flight.

Only ever heard this guy a couple of times, but I feel like I can hear whispers of both Gilmour and Harrison in some of the guitar work.

At the risk of sounding pedantic, I would suggest that this particular line of reasoning is more akin to the alcoholic voluntarily walking into a bar and asking its staff to stop serving alcohol.

It's quite alright if you no longer wish to be a part of our forum, but we don't delete accounts.

It's interesting to note the mention of Ridley Scott there too, because you can certainly set your watch to the kind of rinse and repeat cycle that many Alien fans have seemingly been stuck in recently ("I hope Prometheus isn't just more xenomorphs running around" (Prometheus is released) "Where were all the xenomorphs?" (Alien Covenant is released) "That was just more xenomorphs running around"). The same thing seems to be happening with Star Wars at the moment, only we're not quite as far down the rabbit hole just yet. Give it another two years until the build-up to Episode IX, we'll have probably circled back around from "Last Jedi was adventurous and different and I hate that, give me the Star Wars of old" to "I hope Abrams doesn't play it safe like he did with Force Awakens, give me something adventurous and different".

I hereby declare the voting officially closed. Once again, to all who took part, thanks ever so much. I'll start posting the results in the next couple of days.

Last year, it was probably about mid-afternoon (GMT) on January 1st when I declared the voting closed. I do my best not to be too strict about the deadline though, just as a concession to the timezone differences.

I didn't see a result like that coming if I'm honest, but we bounced back well from Boxing Day's rancid showing. Here’s hoping for a happier new year on the football front.
