Is Blue Sky still a thing?

How we all doing BlueSky?

Have found myself off of here... is the app going to succeed?

Has anyone else read Orbital? Interested in hearing others' thoughts.

Currently reading it and it is beautifully written but very different to any novel I've read in terms of story structure...

What can you do?

Premier League game against an inform team and your rightback decides to lose the ball three times in a row - you haven't really got a chance have you?

Maaan that's bad from Martinez but Villa have been begging to let a goal in all half...

Feel bad for Forest there, in no way is that an attacking advantage... #AVFC

Best fighting games of all time?

I'm looking to play a Street Fighter/Tekken but get the satisfaction of unlocking loads of characters!!!

Any recommendations?

Some absolutely bangers in that game, never in doubt. Love the 5-3-2! #AVFC

This feels like one of those Amazon scams - have AI write you a book and just sell, hoping not everyone demands a refund?

Well I'm glad I did

I don't physically know if I can watch Villa v Brentford today, it's like some of the form under Steven Gerrard where I feel like the result is totally pre-determined

A look back at the moment an Iraqi journalist threw his shoes at President George W Bush in 2008

It was in protest of America's occupation of Iraq.

Bush was in Baghdad to agree terms of withdrawal.

The way he kept holding himself too. Embarrassing.

Made by the keeper!

Thought Villa were excellent.

VAR ruined a great moment by overanalysing that disallowed goal too much.

Standard competition for the goal that the keeper lost. #AVFC

Yeah he was so annoying to play against too because he gave them that spine and aggression where everyone in front of him was free to wreck havoc...

Feels so weird seeing a Manchester City team look so hopeless

Wonder what it is? Is it just harder to be motivated when you win that many trophies?

BBC World Service - Witness History, Siegfried and Roy tiger attack, Siegfried & Roy's on-stage tiger attack In October 2003, a tiger attacked during a performance of Siegfried & Roy's Las Vegas show

Who remembers Siegfried & Roy?

They owned many rare big cats and had them come on stage stage during magic performances for decades

Eventually, in 2003, one of them attacked.

I edited together this vid, but I urge a listen to podcast...

I fully expected us to roll over though so I'll take the 2-2 if it stops the losing run

Martinez fully stopped the inevitable from happening though

Dungeons & Dragons was created 50 years ago in 1974 - but its creator, Gary Gygax, has a crazy backstory.

His son Luke, told us about all the highs and lows.

I was thinking about this. I love how clean it is but we know the direction of things.

No way I can see this being ad-free in a year or so.

Game of Thrones and Bojack Horseman have to be right up there

I'm stärving brother

You would know better than I would!

Yes I'm a fan, used to tweet a lot about them!

I haven't felt positive about them in weeks, but I get the feeling it changes this weekend

They needed mental and physical rest

I hear he's been working them extra hard, so I hope so too. Something just hasn't been right.

Any Villa fans here?

I think #AVFC hit the ground running this weekend.
