I honestly think Cundy might kill O’Hara this season.
It’s stressful enough watching your team be rubbish every week. Then you have to turn around and deal with the Ange mask, the soundboard, the “Going down?” constantly.
Unbelievable stress 😂
How much?!
🚨⚪️ Savinho’s move will cost Spurs fee in excess of £75m, expected to reach package over £80m with add-ons.
#THFC also accelerating to get Omar Marmoush deal done next. ⚡️

-8.6% is a ludicrous hold.
This is going to become the highest-grossing R-rated movie ever.
Spider-Man will hurt it (obviously) but isn’t opening in IMAX so premium formats will give it longer legs.
Still hasn’t opened in China.
A ridiculous success by any measure.
In just 11 days,#TheOdyssey beats #Dunkirk’s entire 550M run & crosses 600M, locking its journey to join the 1B+ club at Global #BoxOffice! #ChristopherNolan’s first Epic grossed INSANE 128.3M on 2nd weekend overseas, just a -8.6% drop(!!!!!) from opening (vs #Barbie’s 127M, -34.6%, #DeadpoolAndWolverine’s 110.5M, -51.3%, #TopGunMaverick’s 86.3M, -31.5%) for 334.3M intl. cume over 73 intl. markets, with majors #Korea, #China & #Japan yet to join only in AUG & SEP!
Allied to its 286.4M cume in the US, the Epic with a 250M production price tag not including marketing hits a 639.6M Global cume, crushing #Dunkirk’s 550M as Nolan’s #6 highest grossing film of ALL TIME, in just 11 days!
700M+ coming by WED
800M+ coming by next weekend already
1B+ locked and loaded 🔒
Eyeing a 1.3B-1.5B Global run until we see how #SpiderManBrandNewDay affects its legs + how it performs in the upcoming major Asian markets left to open.
As predicted.
Should be hilarious to see the arcane grifter mathematics that somehow frame this as a bad thing.
The goalposts are ever moving.

"checkmate woke morons, the horror movie about a woman's bodily autonomy and agency and the need for kindness during a partner's mental health crisis is more profitable than the adaptation of a western classic"
Imagine spending 300× more on the budget, yet The Odyssey still hasn't surpassed Obsession.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The Odyssey opened on July 17 and has grossed $322 million worldwide in its first week. Obsession opened on May 15 and has grossed $444 million after 10 weeks. boxofficemojo.com/title/tt337642… boxofficemojo.com/release/rl1660…
These two are SO good in this.
I think sometimes it gets lost in the shuffle of all the dragons and such, but the core of #HouseoftheDragon is just Matt Smith and Emma D’Arcy acting circles around everyone else every week.
Rhaenyra: "Why do the gods turn from me?"
Daemon: "Did you imagine there will be no dispute. A glorious accession. A populace united, always summer and never snow. You are a woman Rhaenyra. There will always be those who oppose you" #HouseoftheDragon
Saw The Odyssey. It’s an extraordinarily good movie.
Some flaws — Calypso’s Island bogs down the pacing, Holland is a bit miscast, don’t love the anachronistic contemporary dialogue — pale in comparison to the sheer spectacle of it all.
If #HouseoftheDragon carries on like this in Season 3 (just screened the third episode), it's going to be a true all-timer run.

Thomas Tuchel:
£8m 😂
🚨 EXCL: Sunderland reject £8m offer from Chelsea to sign Granit Xhaka. #SAFC told #CFC 33yo not for sale at any price. Stamford Bridge club felt bid fair but PL rivals viewed as unacceptable + insist no further proposals will be entertained @TheAthleticFC nytimes.com/athletic/7403991…
From a purely visual perspective, I can sort of see how the angular designs of Azula and Mai make them look more serious and threatening relative to live-action.
But from the very beginning I thought the Ty Lee casting nailed it and I dunno why it keeps getting brought up.
Tuchel's odd fullback selections could well haunt us here. Seemed a given that James wouldn't stay fit.
Not picking Trent never made much sense. Now that Djed Spence (probably) will be the tournament's starting right back, it makes even less sense.
🚨🏴 BREAKING: Reece James, out for England with hamstring injury. ❌
He’ll miss at least next two World Cup games, reports @Guardian.
