Yeah, but that's just stupid, and every club uses it against someone - I'm pretty sure I've heard Southampton supporters sing it at Portsmouth.
Was just joking. Fully agree on the Shitty remark. Grealish seems to have really upped his whining/diving game since the move, let alone the financial antics at the club

For our 2nd Movie Pick, the FOG go back to 1994 for the Luc Besson classic, LEON: THE PROFESSIONAL.

The concept is simple. A corrupt cop (Gary Oldman) kills the entire family of a 13 year old girl (Natalie Portman) over drugs and money. A hitman (Jean Reno) in her apartment complex saves her life by taking her in.



She convinces him to train her how to "hit" so she can get revenge. While the plot if simple, it's the sense of style Luc Besson imbues into the film, along with the memorable characters and performances, that make it special. Each scene pops and drives the plot forward. No needless meat on the bone. Truly a great screenplay.



The unsung hero is the films score by Eric Serra. He would later compose the score for Besson's other 90's classic, The Fifth Element. You would know it right away when comparing the two. No other scores sound like it, and they contribute greatly to the style.

To this day, one of my favorite movies of all-time and in my opinion, one of the best of the entire decade. It's incredible how many classic movies came out in 1994.

I was very proud of Asnito for picking two picks normally, seamlessly, without any kind of weird shit, but I knew it wouldn't last. I'm not sure where he got the idea that we were doing an international football draft. It's actually not a f***ed-up idea at all - it's just that I never said anything about doing one. I'd love to do it, fill up a Current starting 11 and a Legend starting 11 just like we did with hockey, but there aren't enough people in here who would know what thy are doing or be interested enough to try.
Cap that was more of a suggestion since I know how much you enjoy it. Make it a supplemental draft so anyone not interested can skip it.

Question, I have been totally detached from anything Flyers related and was looking for an update. Are they tanking well, who is playing well, how many draft picks has Fletch pissed away etc...

You know what I thought of last night? There's no f***ing way Hakstok is a good coach now, but what if people think he isn't that bad? MYTH!

We start the day with @JojoTheWhale on the clock, @Beef Invictus on deck, @Chuck Downie on the lido deck, and mja on the lido afterdeck. Plus Dancing Pants will clarify or change that last pick.

I'll be honest, I can't concentrate at all. That f***er Ryan Smith from your neck of the woods is on TV, and he is such f***Ing trash, f***.

I seriously can't believe how good this album is - it's ridiculous. Check out this amazing gem.

I was deciding between two albums and got tossed down a rabbit hole. Never in a million years did I expect to find video of a Warped Tour sidestage from the Son/Blockbuster/Tweeter Center/Freedom Mortgage whatever in 1995, before Van's even sponsored it. Never in a trillion years did I expect to find the camera panning to the crowd and to be able to see me and some friends, but here we are.

The end studio product may have been fantastic, but Sublime sucked live. I assure you. Doing my writeup for the other option now.
