I've yet to be entirely convinced by the show, if I'm honest. The first run had just enough of a bigger picture element to keep me coming back, but it didn't take long for the 'cases of the week' to start feeling like a bit of a yawn. If they don't up the ante for the second season, I'll probably get bored and end up switching it off.

In fairness to Depay, although he could really do with a good performance or two, he's still just a young'un. The problem is that at a club like Manchester United, patience always seems to be in short supply. Saying that, I don't know if consistently good forward play can realistically be expected from any of these United players at the moment. Of their attacking options, I would say Martial has been the only one to stand out as a potential top level talent, with 'potential' being the operative word there given his age. Mata is very good, but has failed to impress on too many occasions.

I couldn't help but notice poor old Memphis Depay being branded the 'Dutch Ravel Morrison' yesterday by the press gang. If wearing contentious headgear and turning in a few anonymous performances is punishable by law now, shouldn't Young Master Wayne be the first one banged to rights?

There seems to be some suggestion online that the allegation involves Benzema actually trying to extort money from Valbuena. It would be genuinely bizarre if that ended up being the truth of the matter.

The first journo at one of José's press conferences to call him out for acting like an eight-year-old coming down from a sugar rush wins my unyielding respect.

This, on the other hand, never seems to get old.

Back to the drawing board in record time. At 2-2, Everton were in a world of trouble. Barely five minutes later, they were being made to look like Brazil 1970 with our defence and midfield in total disarray. The really irritating thing is, we look more capable up front at the moment than we have done for years, but the way we are at the back, we need to score three or four just to stand a chance of getting a draw. The only silver lining, and hopefully this is still the case come January, is that we're within touching distance of Norwich and Bournemouth. Ordinarily, you'd be cut adrift at the bottom with such a measly points total after eleven games.

Since you asked, we can fix that. An email of confirmation should be winging its way to you now. :morning:

It's definitely going to be an interesting twist. The only slight worry I have about the Ancient One inhabiting different humans is from more of a long-term perspective, because it could open up the possibility of what would essentially amount to stunt casting. I think the pros will outweigh the cons though, as long as they don't feel the need to drag things out too much.

Harley's here too...

I think one of my main reservations about Leto’s Joker is how young he looks, at least from a distance. Somehow makes it a bit tricky to imagine the dynamic between him and a Batman who we've been led to believe will be appearing as a much older character. Even though in reality, Leto and Affleck are probably about the same age.

Hello, good evening and welcome!

I wouldn't be at all surprised. No doubt he'll be portrayed as a diamond geezer who was elbowed out of Premier League management by an evil foreign owner, rubbish foreign players and shady directors who foisted players upon him that he never wanted.

What I personally think makes Harley such a brilliant creation is that she taps into what it means to be insanely passionate about something. Hardcore fans often do things that seem crazy or waste their time and money just to get closer to the things they love most, and that's pretty much the character in a nutshell. Without wishing to sound too presumptuous, I dare say the majority of comic book readers can relate to her on some level.

I'm assuming that's his 'just busted out of Arkham' look. Hopefully, it's one of those designs that works onscreen, in motion and in the right lighting, because it hasn't looked that appealing to me in the promotional stills. We're going to have to wait and see what they've put together when we've got all the elements, but I get the feeling that Leto will either completely knock it out of the park or the whole thing will be a spectacular failure. Somehow, I can't see there being much in the way of middle ground.

This new image of ?you-know-who started doing the rounds on the internet this afternoon. It's appearing as the cover of the December issue of Empire Magazine, for folks who have a subscription.

It obviously wouldn't be the case if he were foreign, but it's remarkable just how much sympathy he's been afforded from those 'in the know' lately. Over the last few months, the British media's portrayal of the likes of Van Gaal and Pellegrini has been much worse than that of Sherwood, and they're competing near the top of the league.

I'm not sure if Randy Lerner has been utilising the same 'director of football' set-up as Ellis Short this past year, but it's hard not to see similarities between Sherwood's time at Villa and Dick Advocaat at Sunderland, despite the obvious difference in managerial experience. Advocaat took over a team that, contrary to the apparent media perception, was hovering just above the bottom three, banged some heads together and cleverly created a siege mentality where there was little pressure on the players. The club then went on to make a number of summer signings who, in theory, should have been decent performers, but he appeared to send them onto the pitch without anything resembling a gameplan, and preceded to start running them down in public (the re-introduction of Kieran Richardson at the expense of Jordan Amavi seemed particularly odd) when results weren't forthcoming. Once that sort of thing starts happening, it never seems to be long before the chop comes.

Siri knows the score. Now, not to sound greedy or anything, but if we could just see our way to winning against somebody else once in a while...

After multiple promising teasers, the first full-length trailer for the series is finally here.

Even with Eva Green front and centre in every episode, I was on the verge of giving up on it after the first season wrapped. Later on, I was persuaded to give some of the newer episodes a whirl and I'm glad I did, because they were a huge step up. The prospect of introducing a different story arc every season is always appealing too. A lot of shows these days have the same plot continue year in and year out and it becomes tedious, especially in this genre.
