I came here expecting to see Judi Dench's character from the James Bond movies. Imagine my surprise (and delight)! Anyway, not sure if the problem was caused by the forum upgrade or something else entirely, but it's now fixed. For future reference, topic titles in need of correction can be reported here.

Perhaps needless to say, I was hoping that Jose wouldn't get the boot until after we played Chelsea, but when you make a start as woeful as that, you can't realistically expect to get a result against anyone. With Norwich and Bournemouth both winning, it was an easy decision to skip Match of the Day for about the 15th time this season. Nice to see the Chelsea fans wheeling out their famously excellent sign making skills once again, though.

Star Trek Beyond (2016)
There was a story doing the rounds in the summer that Alice Eve was undecided about coming back for another Trek movie, so I guess it must have stayed that way. Bearing in mind that her character officially joined the crew towards the end of Into Darkness, it would be a little strange for them to just cut her loose, although I can't really see her being much of a miss to the story. By no means did she do anything wrong, but it was essentially just a decorative role.

Star Trek Beyond (2016)
I'm in two minds, but willing to be won over. Lin knows how to shoot action so the trailer certainly moves, I suppose the hope is that the slick visuals and outlandish set pieces eventually give way to more story and character-driven stuff.

It's always good fun, whenever there's a job available in the Premier League, to take a look at the bookies' favourite candidates and see how far down the list David O'Leary and Alan Curbishley are. I'm beginning to think that they're still included just to be polite, like someone invited to a party that nobody actually wants to see turn up, but it would be rude not to have asked them.

Captain America: Civil War (2016)
@Limerlight Yeah, I think if you were going to try some Marvel stuff, you could do a lot worse than to use 'Civil War' as your starting point. Superheroes fighting each other isn’t a new or interesting thing in itself, but the subject matter is realistic and the political thriller vibe gives the story some real weight. The only drawback is that it doesn't really work as a standalone piece unless you're familiar with the whole cast of characters.

Saoirse Ronan
Saoirse was just brilliant in 'Brooklyn'. Even at the young age of 21, she already has a body of work that the majority of actresses would kill for.

Big Sam called the Watford game a six-pointer in midweek, although I can't honestly say I've heard of a six-pointer where the opposition are 13 points and 12 league positions clear of you. Oddly though, I didn't feel entirely disheartened afterwards. A desperately disappointing result, but a lot of the players put in a hard shift, and goals should come if they maintain this work ethic.
