All my Stephen and MCU Metas/Headcanons

For some reason or another, folks have asked me my opinion on stuff in the past. I said that I’d make a master list if folks were interested and folks were. It’s been a while but I figure it’s about time I do this anyway. And maybe there’s someone still hanging around who’s still interested! I’ll date this post when I update it.

Updated Feb 7 2023

About the wider MCU

The big bad meta: All about Tony, Steve, and their flaws, and trying to show them on equal ground after the very angry fanbases post CACW (plus some fic recs with an anti-Accords look as specifically asked for from the asker - not anti-Tony, except one that’s readily labeled)

Endgame What If

In case you missed it…

Neil Diamond told The Telegraph yesterday how “thrilled” he was that England fans were singing his famous ‘Sweet Caroline’ song at Wembley.

“Well, I hope you can do it again – here’s to England”, he told The Telegraph.

The 1969 song has featured in every England victory celebration at Euro 2020 and was a high point of celebrations after the team beat Germany 2 – 0 in the round of 16.

After the match, striker Harry Kane and coach Gareth Southgate both told the media how much they enjoyed hearing fans belt out the song in unison.

Tournament odds

The bookies have England now as Euro 2020 favourites – even at 2/1 in some outlets.

Then come Spain (3/1) followed by Italy (4/1), with Ukraine the outside shot with bookmakers at 33/1.

08:41 AM

Magic Monday

A look-back at the day that proved internationals reach parts that the club game cannot.

As if Spain 5 Croatia 3 wasn’t enough, Switzerland and France also served up a classic on Monday night. What made it so memorable?

Read Thom Gibbs’ excellent breakdown here.

RIP Charlie

Predictions for this evening

Let us know in the comments below!

I’m going Spain and Italy to progress… just.

08:14 AM

Alvaro Morata

As Sam Dean writes, Alvaro Morata has scored 21 goals in 44 appearances for his country. He has won 14 major trophies in club football. He has played for four of the biggest clubs in the world and he has been transferred between them for a combined total of more than £170 million. If he finds the net against Switzerland on Friday, he will become the highest scorer in Spain’s European Championship history. Everything about his CV, and his list of accomplishments by the age of 28, suggests that Morata must be one of the continent’s elite forwards. And yet, for many people, the former Chelsea striker still seems to be regarded more as a punchline than as a top-level predator.

Read about how Morata has emerged from the darkness in a bright, dangerous Spain side.

Can Switzerland do it again?

07:35 AM

The Swiss are back!

Remember this bloke?

Swiss fan reacts to their victory over France

Topless and fully clothed, desperate and ecstatic: a Swiss football supporter has become a viral sensation after cameras zoomed in on his rollercoaster emotions watching his team beat France in the Euro 2020 tournament.

Found by Swiss media after images of him yelling and grimacing during Monday’s match went round the world, Luca Loutenbach has already amended his Twitter account to describe himself as the “Nati’s official meme since 28.06.2021.”

The Nati is the nickname for Switzerland’s national football team.

Loutenbach, 28, told Switzerland’s Blick TV that he was “just a normal fan”.

But those filming the game thought otherwise, zooming in on him several times during the play as he perfectly encapsulated Swiss fans’ ecstasy, dejection and frenzied joy – starting off wearing the Swiss red shirt and ending up topless and screaming.

The images quickly went viral, with London Mayor Sadiq Khan tweeting one with the comment “man of the match”.

“A star is born,” Swiss public television RTS said.

“Thanks for all your messages, what is happening to me is unreal,” he wrote Wednesday on Twitter.

“I’m actually quite discreet, even if that wasn’t on show during the game. So this is fun for one or two days, but I hope it will ease off a bit after a while,” he told Swiss TV.

Such is his fame that Switzerland’s airline Swiss has gifted him a free ticket to Russia to see his team play Spain in the quarter finals on Friday in Saint Petersburg.

The country’s tourism agency has also contacted him via Twitter to offer a relaxing weekend away in Switzerland.

07:18 AM

Good morning!

Hello and welcome to Telegraph Sport’s live coverage of the build-up to quarter-finals day, with the first two last-eight games kicking off tonight. Switzerland face Spain in St Petersburg at 5pm before Belgium take on Italy in Munich at 8pm.

England midfielder Jack Grealish said captain Harry Kane is the best player he has ever played with and tipped the Tottenham Hotspur forward to break the Premier League scoring record.

Kane drew a blank in each of England’s three group games at Euro 2020 but scored the second goal in Tuesday’s 2-0 win over Germany which put them into a quarter-final clash with Ukraine in Rome on Saturday.

Grealish said Kane, or “H”, was a deadly finisher but also praised his work outside the box.

“No one here would ever doubt ‘H’,” Grealish told British media on Thursday. “He’s the best player I’ve ever played with.

“He’ll break the Premier League record and the England one but he’s not just a goalscorer. He’s unbelievable when he drops deep and finds passes and puts it through people’s legs.”

Alan Shearer is the Premier League’s all-time leading scorer with 260. Kane is seventh on the list with 166.

Grealish came off the bench to play a role in both goals in the win over Germany but the 25-year-old said he was uncertain if he would start against Ukraine, given the attacking options at coach Gareth Southgate’s disposal.

“It’s difficult. I’m always playing every minute at Villa. I have to be realistic about myself and the talent that we have, especially in my position,” he said.

“You’ve got six players that play either side of Harry that, in reality, could play for most clubs in the world — myself, Jadon (Sancho), Marcus (Rashford), Raheem (Sterling), Phil (Foden) and Bukayo (Saka),” he said.

“That’s scary how good us six are. That’s not being big-headed. That’s just the truth.”

THE RISE AND FALL OF KYLO REN (CHAPTER TWO)

Chapter Two: The Punk and the Godfather

Two Years Later

Han Solo had no idea what Snoke’s Number One guy would want with a smuggler like him, but he was about to find out.

The Stormtrooper brought him and Chewie to a conference room.

The big man in a black mask and a black cape sitting at the head of the table brought back some bad memories.

Han was in the presence of another Vader.

He could feel it.

“Take their binders off. Leave us.” The man told the trooper.

The trooper did as he was ordered.

“Come to the head of the table, gentlemen.”

Han sat on one side of the Man in the Black Mask, and Chewie sat on the other.

“Did either of you pirates ever wonder what the Empire did with sixty years of the spoils of Galactic war? I know more than do do. A good chunk of it ended up on this ship. The Finalizer. I asked Master Snoke for this ship. But he wasn’t inclined to give it to me. So, a couple of years ago? I took it. The ship is mine. And so is everything in it. Did you know that before I took this ship, the Galactic black market was completely disorganized? A bunch of small time operators, with no supply chain, and nobody in charge. Untalented amateurs. Now? You can get whatever you want, on any First Order ship, or base. And to some extent , along the Outer Rim. For a price. But that’s not enough for me. It’s so small-time. But then again, Captain Solo? So are you.”

“Look, pal, if you’re going to kill us, kill us. But I’m not going to sit here and listen to shit like that coming from a guy like you!”

“Sure you are. Because there’s money in it for you.”

“Money?” Han asked.

Chewbacca coughed into his hand.

He was trying not to laugh.

“Yes. Money. And something better than money. Did the trooper walk you past the hangar. Did you see the black, streamlined YT-2400? She’s my ship. I called her the Hellfire. You know how I could afford a ship like that? I’m sitting on a gold mine. Imperial gold coins by the chestful, guns and coaxium are just the tip of the iceberg. But I have no Galactic network. No connections, outside the Hutt Syndicate. Not like Han Solo does.”

“You want me to go into business with you?”

The masked man kicked a black chest over to Han.

“That’s one of my chests full of Imperial Gold Coins. I also have a First Order Captain’s Medal for you. And one for your co-pilot. And don’t worry that I’ll make you do all the dirty work. The Hellfire is the fastest ship in the Galaxy. She made the Kessel Run in 11.5 parsecs. I had to fry three engines, put in an experimental space-time hyprerdrive, fry another engine, spend a fortune on streamlining and retractable hoods for my guns. Not to mention I almost got myself killed, several times. To do it, I had to fly the Hellfire sideways through a pocket in space-time while at lightspeed. But I did it. I beat you, you old pirate son of a bitch.”

The truth finally hit Han Solo like a ton of bricks.

“Ben? Ben, holy Mother Force, is that you inside that tin can, kid?”

Kylo Ren released the mechanism that loosened his mask, and took it off.

“Who the fuck else would it be?”

Han had about five faces that he normally made.

He cycled through all of them in less than a minute.

“Am I going into business with you, or with the First Order?”

“Me. They’re convenient for my purposes.”

“Who?”

“The First Order. I’ll use them to finish my grandfather’s work. But there’s only one problem with finishing his journey.”

“There’s no money in it.”

“Not a red farkling cent. I’ve already got my command crew loading up the Falcon. They’re loyal to me. They won’t talk.”

“Because they’re afraid of you?”

“No. Because I’m a good commander, and I never ask them to do anything I won’t do. Because they respect me. And because I cut them all in for a piece of the action. You’re my father, Solo, and I don’t want to kill you. So I hope you take the deal.”

“Listen to him talking tough, Chewie. Kid, I never knew you took the family business so seriously. I just thought you wanted to get away from Jedi School.”

“Well, I did that, didn’t I?”

Kylo Ren smirked.

“Yeah, you did. Of course I’ll take the deal.”

“Good.”

Kylo Ren took his glove off, and extended his hand to his father.

He and Han Solo shook on it.

***

“But you can’t leave me, Kiera! I love you! I freed you and your whole family from slavery! I saved your life! I’ve given you everything you ever asked for. Tell me what more you want? Anything? Anything in the Galaxy? It’s yours. Your family. Do they need a new house? More money? Anything.”

“Kylo, I am grateful to you for your mercy and your generosity. In spite of everything you do, you’re still a good man at heart. And you really are some kind of man. But I can’t live like this, anymore! Your secrets, your moods, your nightmares! You’re…a whole bunch of guys, and some of them? They scare me. I hate to break your heart, I do, because you’ve given me everything. And I know I’ll never find another man like you. But that’s part of the problem. I’m an ordinary woman. You don’t need an ordinary woman. You need somebody like you.”

“You’re leaving me, too! Just like in Jedi School! Why? Why do you all leave me?”

“Your love’s too heavy on the human soul, Kylo. I’ll never forget you. Or what you’ve done for me. But I can’t bear it. You’re going to break me. I can feel it.”

Kylo Ren sighed.

“I understand. I’ll take you back to Tattoine. But not before I buy you that garage you always wanted.”

“You don’t have to do that, Kylo.”

“Yes I do. If you have to leave me? I want to make sure you do it with a solid-gold parachute. Will you still be my mechanic?”

“Yeah. And when you come to get some work done? Don’t feel like you need to stay at an inn.”

***

“Kylo, let me in.”

“Go away, Phasma!”

She let herself in.

“Why do you do this to yourself? Every time, you think this one, this girl’s the one. I love her, and she’ll never kick me in the teeth and take me for everything but the clothes on my back. And every time, you’re wrong!”

“Maybe if you had more than two days a week for me, Phasma?”

“That’s more than enough, Kylo. But maybe we’ll make it three, for a while. Unless we try to kill each other. Now, wouldn’t you like to take a bath, and shave, and brush your teeth? You stink of self-pity and Huttese whiskey.”

***

Kylo Ren's face, behind his mask, was incredulous.

“I’m not following you, Solo. What the fark are you talking about?"

He really wanted a drink.

But he had the mask on.

“Look, Ren, you’re kidding yourself if you think Her Generalship is done with you. And if you think Snoke is going to continue to let me live? It ain’t gonna be money, money, money, and business as usual, forever. She’s going to push from one end and he’s going to push from the other. And eventually? We're going to be in a tight spot where Leia sends me to get you, and Snoke orders you to get me. So we have to make a plan for it.”

Kylo Ren called to the barmaid.

“Bring me a pitcher of Corellian Ale, a bottle of Huttese whiskey, a packet of cigarillos and a double serving of tonight’s special. And whatever Captain Solo wants.”

In the dark, smoky cantina, Kylo Ren took off his mask, and gloves.

In the three years they had been in business, he had never done that.

Ben had a black eye, and a full beard under it, and his hair fell to his shoulders.

Two of the fingers he ran through his hair were taped together, and all of his knuckles were black and blue.

Even in the dark, Han could see that the kid wasn’t at his best.

But that wasn’t all he could see.

“I know. I need a shave, and a haircut, and I look like hell. You were in the Infantry. You know what the Imperial Dirty Work is like. That, and Kiera left me. They always leave me. Where the fuck are my drinks?"

“Everybody is so full of shit! You don’t look like Vader, you look like me!” Han said, proudly.

"Great."

"Don't worry about that girl, kid. You get too serious about these women who are just in it to take what they can get from you. Let it go. She just wasn't the right one for you."

"Who is?"

"You'll know when you meet her. The Thunderbolt will come and knock you right on your ass."

The food and drinks came, and Kylo hid his face from the barmaid.

“How about a cold pack? He’s hiding his face because it looks like it’s been through a machine.” Han asked the barmaid.

“Yeah. I think I look like both of you. You, and my grandfather.” Ben said, after she left.

Kylo drank half off the picture of beer. He also tossed back the slick, viscous, oily Huttese whiskey, right from the bottle. Then, holding the cold pack against his injured eye with one hand, he started shoveling his food into his mouth with the other.

Han was going to ask him if he always drank like that, but it was obvious that the kid was tired, he was in pain, and he probably dragged himself out of bed just to come to the meeting.

“So what’s your plan, Solo?”

“Well, Kylo Skywalker had to come from somewhere, right? Back on Arkanis, he has to have a father. With a name. And papers. And a story. And who could a guy like Kylo Skywalker, AKA Kylo Ren trust to watch his back other than his own father?" Han said.

“You want to join the First Order?"

"No. I want to join my son, and make sure he doesn't die in battle, get assassinated, or drink himself to death."

There was a commotion at the door, and a tall blonde woman in an Imperial uniform pushed her way over to the table.

“What are you doing in this dive, Kylo?”

“Meeting my business partner, Captain.”

“Business partner!”

Phasma looked from one man to the other.

“Business partner! You are so full of religious nerfshit! That’s your father, isn’t it? Don't lie to me, Kylo. It's VERY obvious. Are you trying to impress him? He doesn’t look impressed! He looks worried and sad! Why are you always such a child?” Phasma insisted.

“Don’t talk to me like that, in public, in front of Solo!”

“Solo! What kind of a way is that to talk about your father? If I had treated my father with that kind of disrespect, I would not have lived long enough to learn enough from him to give him a warrior’s death! I didn’t know this meeting was with your own damn father! He would have waited, until you were in presentable shape!"

“Phasma, don't lecture me. I’ll leave with you when we’re done talking! Business doesn't wait until you're at your best."

"In your case, Kylo, that would be never."

Han averted the next phase of what he figured would be a long argument.

“Hold up, Vader Junior. How bad is he, sister?”

“My Lord Ren is supposed to be in bed.”

“I thought so. Well kid, think about it. Next month, we'll iron the whole thing out. Figure out when Han Solo disappears and Papa Kylo turns up.”

Ben pushed the bottle of whiskey across the table.

Han took a drink from it.

Kylo turned to Captain Phasma.

“Sit down. You came for this, Phasma, now you’re in it. But I’m warning you. Don’t try to cross me. Or Solo.”

“Or you'll kill me? You couldn’t.”

“No, but I could, sister. You want me to kill her, now, kid?” Han asked.

Casually.

“That won’t be necessary. Yet.”

“I wouldn’t cross you, Kylo. I can’t cross your son, General Solo. I owe him the debt of my life and my honor.”

“Oh. I see. And that’s all, huh? OK. I’ll play along. So, you get it, Ren?”

“So far. But then what?” Kylo Ren asked.

“Well, you and Captain Blondie have to keep up appearances and back my new identity until the war is over. It won’t be a farkling picnic for me. But it’ll keep the business going, and it’ll keep me alive. I know you don’t think you’d ever feel guilty about killing me, but trust me, Junior. Once I’m dead? You’ll miss me.”

Kylo finished his picture of beer and banged it on the table.

“You were a terrible father, Solo.”

“You hear that, Captain Blondie? I’m a rotten father. I left his mother. I’m in business with him. I meet up with him, in that mask. I never see his face. He calls me Solo. Every time I see him, I risk my life. His mother won’t see him. His uncle abandoned him. They won’t come near him, because of their fucking precious religion. Not now he’s embraced his inner Vader. But I don’t care. He’s my son. Whatever he does, whoever he is? He’s my son. And I’m with him. That’s right, you spoiled farkling brat! I’m a rotten father.”

"Okay, so you're not as bad as you used to be. But I'm worse than ever. Worse every day. Let's face it, Solo. Nobody in this farkling Galaxy gives a damn about me."

“I do. Why the hell do you think I don’t wanna die? Somebody in this family has to know what the fark is going on. You got some brains, alright, kid, but your mother and your Uncle Luke? Their heads are are full of Jedi nerfshit, and they don't know what the fark is going on."

Kylo Ren raised his pitcher.

"I'll drink to that, Solo." He said.

[起承] Chris’ Mini Concert in Taipei 20191222 - Summary

As promised, the concert summary!!

First, let’s look at this gorgeous background and what Chris wore in his first song - Totally magical my god and GALAXY THEMED!!! Okay it was actually purple themed because he likes the colour and a lot of fans actually turned up in purple things.

Being the dumbass that I was, I did not do that because I didn’t even THINK OF IT HONESTLY so in my haste i had to go buy some purple cap that is really cute (unicorn-themed!) and yes turned up for the concert.

I went with a lovely new friend this time along with two other friends (all of who I met on Tumblr!!) and when we first reached the venue, there were so many other fans there already as usual giving out freebies - I have completed a set of five plastic fans with Chris and Jake faces printed on it, and now I have three plastic sheet 2020 calendars with Chris’ lovely face on it so amen. A lanyard also, and ooooh like they printed fake passenger tickets with chris’ face on it HAHA

Venue/Seating: 20 Rows, 20 Seats, 10 on each side with a row cutting down the middle and then a stage - In terms of venue I think it was a pretty cozy venue, definitely smaller than the venue for the Trapped Taipei and Taichung fanmeets so everyone got a much better view. This is the venue they used for the first History Party

I was seated in the 4th row, which was farkinggggg close. Ann and Elle were seated in the 2nd row, and we were technically all in the same area - BEST

So after we were seated, suddenly there was a lot of commotion from the fans, and that’s when we realised that ANDY AND KENNY WALKED IN!!! They came in with caps and face masks on, and they sat themselves in the first row on the right section - I’d like to mention that seated in the same row were also Chris’ parents, his brother (real or like bro I haven’t figured out yet), Diane and Director Lee from Trapped (ahhhh Diane is farking pretty) and yes, Jake was not there, BUT BUT BUT I do believe he was invited, but he’s just busy with work. Jake and Zhang Guang Chen (the guy who plays Andy in Trapped) both liked Chris’ concert photo on Instagram!!

Photos weren’t allowed, and they were damn fucking strict about this which I honestly DONT UNDERSTAND but am not surprised at - It’s like he’s thanking his fans for turning up and he’s really touched and everything and all fans want to do is have some really nice photos of him you know CRIES IN A CORNER - So it was like the Trapped fanmeet media mafia again, people standing at the sides watching and making sure you dont take photos

BUT BUT BUT in the first two songs they couldn’t control us all because we were ALL taking photos, which is why I have photos from the first two songs but NOWHERE ELSE, but tbh the first song’s visuals were so beautiful that those were all I needed for photos, seriously - Which is nice because I rented a cam for this and I REALLY WOULD HAVE CRIED IF I WALKED AWAY WITH NO PHOTOS

He sang a few Chinese ballads, and then he went to change clothes, and THEN HE TURNED UP IN THIS SHIRT AND DANCED TO THE WEEKND’S CAN’T FEEL MY FACE

At the beginning of the concert he told everyone that he wasn’t going to cry and we all called bullshit on that and hahaha lo and behold he cried halfway through and then at the end A LOT

Xiao Yi hosted it again!!! My god, I love Xiao Yi so much, he’s honestly the best and he’s way more handsome in person than he is on Instagram HAHAHA and I love how close he is to the Trapped boys

I do have more photos of this but they’re all half blur because I was trying to dodge the photo police, but hip thrusting moves? Check. Skin reveal? Four holes in his shirt, CHECK.

Anyway, the entire show was filled with like crazy good dance numbers and Chris sang songs such as A Whole New World, and also two of his self-composed songs!! I can’t remember what the first song was called but he did sing this at the Taichung fanmeet, and the second song is called 「不想分開」which means ‘Don’t Want To Separate From/Leave Each Other’ and they’re pretty good

Chris said that HE MIGHT have some album/single release activity next year and asked us to look forward to Jan 2020 I don’t know what to expect tbh HAHAHAHA

And Chris also sang Della’s song from Trapped - and halfway through the song DELLA APPEARED AND STARTED SINGING WITH HIM!! And he was so touched that he started to cry (as always, the crybaby), then the audience and Xiao Yi got Della and Chris to duet one of Della’s other more popular songs, and then SHE WAS THE BEST BECAUSE SHE led Chris down the stage and into the crowd and got him to touch everyone’s hands (okay not everyone, but whoever who could reach him) - Unfortunately I was literally two arms length away from him, so I didn’t even try reaching out for him but as always he came real close, and I got to witness that face up close for the fifth time this year, thank you god and all the higher powers above and buddha for giving me this excellent year

And everytime Xiao Yi and Chris asked questions to the audience Kenny would be like this absolute fanboy yelling from his seat - Gotta love the friendship between them

Xiao Yi printed like photos of him and Chris and stuck it on chocolate bars and gave them out to the audience for like question and answer LMAOOOO funniest shit ever - So XY asked how much do we love Chris, and the first fan was like ‘I left my kid at home to come and watch Chris’ and then another one was like ‘I came here on a TOUR and now I have left my tour group secretly for a few hours so I can come attend this’ LMAOOOO

And CHRIS’ attire was fucking on point that day, all his outfits were like fucking A+++++++++ like sexy and handsome and WOOOHOOO

Okay and now storytime - The one SHITTY thing that happened during the concert:

So there was this older lady seated in the first row, and in the beginning she kept getting up to talk to the staff and I didn’t think much of it - You know maybe she’s a hardcore fan or something and she knows the staff and has some special connections or whatever

And then, LITERALLY HALFWAY THROUGH A SONG, she stands up and she starts shouting. I’m not joking, she starts fucking shouting and pointing at like some fans in the second row saying, “Why is it they can take photos but I can’t?! You guys are too much!!!”

Mind you all, Chris is literally PERFORMING and she’s making a scene

So the staff get her to sit down, and then we think it’s the end of it right, but no she proceeds to yell at shout the same thing across like three fucking songs, and then at one point she stands up and tries to get attention from the staff to come and catch another fan seated behind her because she’s taking photos

In the end no one else in the vicinity dared to take photos or whatever and she was still being a bitch and yelling - And the dumb thing is that she wasn’t asked to leave. This crazy woman in the first row making a scene and she’s not being asked to leave wtf

And then she just keeps shouting throughout the entire concert, and at two instances Xiao Yi had to say “Hey guys, everyone, be good okay? Everyone, please be good”

Okay and then some point in between crazy lady brings out a decanter of like whiskey and chugs it down - Like so wild

So okay, she’s sitting in the first row, and it doesn’t take a genius to know that the risk of sitting in the first row or at the sides is that staff can easily get to you to ask you to not take photos - and she’s in the “because I can’t have it NO ONE ELSE CAN” mode, which is like... okay that’s one thing, but the other part is-

CHRIS IS LITERALLY PERFORMING WHY WOULD U CAUSE A SCENE FOR HIM?!!!

And she was just plain fucking rude she was honestly yelling and scolding like other fans, and I feel like that she doesn’t have a right to do that

Around me were ALL the major Chris fanclub/fanaccount fans and they were all like wtf is wrong with her?

Basically she was such a disruption and idk why she wasn’t asked to leave

Worst of all, in his every very last song, Chris actually sang half a verse to her directly, and IDK if he knows her, or maybe heard that she was being very enthusiastic, or didn’t know that she was being a crazy bitch, in any case, Chris effectively rewarded her bad behaviour

A lot of the fans were really upset about that, because this woman fucked up the entire experience for us (just imagine someone yelling like two rows in front of you and shouting and pointing throughout the whole like 45 minutes) and Chris basically signalled to her that it’s okay to be a nuisance to everyone else, even if it was done accidentally

Otherwise, A+ concert!!! So happy to be in Taipei again and seeing the boys!!!!! And Lisley and Kana were both there as well, and i have to say I really, really love Diane <3333

Concert was a little bit short imo but the tickets weren’t expensive so it’s alright. No fan benefits this time HAHAHA

#chris wu #wu chengyang #吳承洋 #mini concert #history3: trapped #kenny chen #andy bian #summary!

description: Wedding of the century rolls around as the previous college clique, along with the rest of their family members, stay in preparation for it. During this time, Riley meets Lucas, a gorgeous, green-eyed wallflower who happens to be immediately taken by her. Little did she know, he has a deep secret. One that will either change her views on him forever or make her feel closer to his world.

word count: 2,626

pairings: riley x lucas

Song: Annabelle’s Homework by Alec Benjamin

chapter one; riley

Sparkley Farkley: Did you know that the slowest marathon time ever is 54 years, eight months, six days, eight hours, 32 minutes, and 20.3 seconds? Yeah, in 1912, an Olympic marathoner from Japan supposedly disappeared during the middle of a race. Some say that he stopped to get a drink from an outdoor party, but ended up staying longer than he should have. Risque, if you ask me. Anyways, he was too embarrassed to finish the race, so he flew back to Japan instead. Years later, he decided to finish what he started by running the whole marathon himself. What I'm trying to say is WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU? Riley, you're seriously taking much longer to get to the boardwalk than this Japanese marathon guy. Hurry!!

I looked at the horrifically long paragraph Farkle had sent me and sighed. Being best friends with him also meant being best friends with your very own encyclopedia, which can be extremely useful at times. Although, it really isn't when your phone is constantly being bombarded with numerous texts about everything and nothing.

Gentle reminder that I live farther from the beach than you do. I'll be there soon! Don't miss me too much :)

I quickly text back. I gripped onto my camera strap, which is draped over my shoulder, as I start quickening my pace.

When we became closer over the years, Farkle and I both created a tradition of spending almost every Saturday down at the boardwalk. In regards to this, the main rule that we've agreed upon would be that if one of us couldn't make it, we would have to have an extremely valid excuse. Me being the more "laid back" friend, I've been pretty lenient on Farkle if he couldn't make it. Wish I could say the same about him, though.

Last night, I had to stay up till two in the morning helping my mother out at the flower shop. Arranging flowers isn't as easy as one may think. In result, I woke up later than usual, causing me to be about 30 minutes late. So far, I've received a fact text from him for every minute I ran late. It truly amazes me how he could just drop these facts off the top of his head.

I'm practically already running when I see Farkle by the entrance, arms crossed.

"I'm sorry!" I pant. I take a second to breathe before I continue speaking. "I.. I woke.. Wow, I'm not cut out to be.. an athlete, huh?" I joke.

He rolls his eyes as a grin forms on his face. "Where were you?"

"I was up all night helping my mom with the flowers. I woke up super late. I'm so sorry."

He nods in approval of my excuse. "That's okay. However, I don't think we could go to the diner now. Brooklyn and her minions are there. Seated in our spots too!"

The thought of Brooklyn made me sick to my stomach. Brooklyn was the Regina George of Harbor High School, and basically all of Santa Cruz. Like your typical teen cliche, she was the popular girl who also the prettiest. Brooklyn also had her own entourage, as she always had two minions following her. With her bitchy personality, you may say that it's surprising that she gets all the guys. With her body, though, it really isn't. It's probably how she had my crush of four years and counting, Charlie Gardner, falling for her.

"Well, I guess we would have to postpone our meal then," I say, linking my arms with his. We enter the boardwalk and head straight for the arcade. We're surrounded by all the games you could never ever get tired of. From Dance Dance Revolution to laser tag to racing games, the Santa Cruz Boardwalk Casino Arcade has you covered. Farkle and I have our common favorite, air hockey.

He let go of my arm, dashing straight to the air hockey table. "You ready to get your ass beat?"

He asks, slipping in a token. We love each other very much, but when it comes to air hockey, it's like we're two different people.

"You should be asking yourself that, Minkus." As air starts to shoot through the tiny holes from the table, we both grabbed our paddles. Suddenly, the puck falls through my pocket instead of Farkle's. "Well, that's a first! I guess I'm starting."

I hit the puck as hard as I can towards his goal. Hoping that this time my first hit would make it, he blocks the puck in a swift move and smiles. "Not today." This goes on for quite a bit. I concentrate on the puck as it glides across the table back and forth. That is, until a distraction came my way. Charlie.

I offer him a double take before actually realizing that it was him. He probably didn't even notice me, which was a good thing on my part. I didn't want him to know that I was here. Out of impulsive thinking, I ducked down to hide behind my side of the table. This wasn't really the best decision, though. Farkle managed to make a goal and yell on behalf of his victory. I don't even have to see what's happening to know that attention was surely brought towards us.

"Farkle!" I call out in a whisper. He walks around the table and takes a seat next to me.

"So, explain to me why we're hiding behind- "

"Riley!" Charlie exclaims. Mortified, I lift my head up to find him standing right in front of us.

"Hi, Charlie." I saw awkwardly. Thankfully, Farkle gets up off the ground and pulls me up, as I was too scared to even move.

Farkle clenches is jaw subtly enough that no one could notice, except for me. It's safe to say that he never liked Charlie. I don't blame him. Most of the time, he can be a total jackass.

I'm not too sure how or why I've liked him for so long, and still currently do. I like to think it's because of the fact that I'm always seeking the best in people. I don't necessarily like making assumptions out of people based on looks or first encounters. For Charlie, I realized how much of a good person he is, deep down, whilst working on a school project with him in the public library. My father, who so happened to be my teacher, assigned both of us as partners for a project that we had to turn in a matter of three days. Within those three days, we'd head to the library at night to work, but we were never productive. All we did was talk. Well, all Charlie did was talk. About himself, of course. I would just sit and listen. It was kind of odd not taking part in the conversation, but I mostly did not mind. As a matter of fact, I remember feeling like it was for the best since I would most likely say something stupid. Plus, I got to learn more about him and who he truly was. The downside of it was that I had to take our project home and finish it myself, but I thought that it was worth it. From that moment on, I couldn't help but keep thinking about him, about us.

Charlie extends his hand out to Farkle, expecting a shake, but he steps back. "I'll wait for you outside." He tells me. No, no. Please don't leave me alone with him.

"Well, that was awkward." He laughs. "But anyways, I am so glad I caught you. I was wondering if you're free like right now? I was hoping that you could help me out with something."

Crap. As much as I would love to help him, I promised Farke that I would spend the day with him. However, as I was looking up at Charlie's mesmerizing brown eyes, I seem to have ignored that fact. "Um, sure." I squeaked. I clear my throat and try again. "What would I be helping you with exactly?"

"You see, we're doing headshots in drama, and you're kind of known to be a really talented photographer," I blush as he says so. Along with the fact that his words make me swoon, another thing about Charlie that I liked was the fact that he is a performing arts fanatic. I'm presuming that it's something that he would like to achieve in the future. He's actually really talented if I'm being honest.

"So, would it be alright if you got a couple of portrait shots of me by the beach?" Charlie asks.

"Maybe in return, I can buy you a milkshake afterward."

Farkle is so going to kill me after this. "Er, okay."

"Great! C'mon, let's go." He starts heading towards the exit as I trail behind him. Hoping that he was the gentleman I thought he'd be, I expected him to open the door for me. Instead, he ends up leaving it to close behind him. I sigh, disappointed for getting ahead with my thoughts. Once I've exited the arcade, I immediately scan my surroundings in search for Farkle.

"I'm here." He calls out from behind me. I turn to find him leaning against a wall.

"You're going to hate me," I confess.

A smirk creeps up on his face. "Not gonna lie, I was already kind of assuming."

"You're not mad?"

"No," Farkle says softly. "I still hate that bastard, though. But I mean if you like him that much-"

I pull him into a hug. "Thank you," I whisper.

"Yeah, okay." He wraps his arms around my back and chuckles lightly.

"Riley?" Charlie yells.

I pull away from Farkle and adjust my outfit. This would technically be the first time I get to hang out with Charlie alone, so I obviously want to look presentable. However, that's clearly not the case since I'm currently in my maroon Harvard sweater that Farkle had actually bought me from when he visited last year, along with a pair of faded ripped jeans.

"Do I look okay?" I ask.

He holds two thumbs up. "Can't say no to a girl in Ivy League gear."

"I love you, and thanks a bunch!" I plant a quick kiss on his cheek before running towards Charlie.

Once I've caught up to him, we both head to the beach together.

I truly do love the beach. I love the ambiance of waves crashing against the shore, along with the wailing of seagulls as they soar across the sky. Not to mention, the smell of the ocean beach as well. Everything about the beach is so captivating and peaceful, especially since it's a little early and not a lot of people are here. The afternoon is the absolute worst time to visit the beach. The fact that there are so many people who usually come on a day to day basis, makes me a little anxious to go.

Charlie leads me to where the dock is located. Farkle and I would usually come to take pictures underneath the dock. This area is quite aesthetically pleasing.

"I think this is a great spot." He says, placing his bag down as I begin to adjust the settings of my camera. I let him know that I'm ready once everything's all set. Charlie then runs towards the shoreline and starts posing of a shot. Since I'll be capturing portrait shots, I made sure that my camera is set so all my photos can have a shallow depth of field. This way, Charlie will be in focus as the background will be a bit blurry. After taking a few photos here and there, I stop to look at them. Charlie was perfectly centered, the lighting was on point, and all shots have great composition. Perfect. I think to myself. However, Charlie apparently doesn't exactly think so when he sees them.

"Yeah, this situation just isn't working for me. Let's try something different." He looks around for a moment. "Here, why don't you get some bird-eye shots of me laying on the sand."

I was a little offended that he didn't like the photos I originally took. I spoke out, irritated. "I thought we were taking portraits?"

"I'm just trying to think outside of the box here, Riles. Maybe the photos will turn out better." I scoff at what he had just said. What difference does it make? You're just going to be lying down. And I thought all headshots were portraits. There he goes acting like a douche, but here I am, still taking interest in him.

Charlie lies down on the sand and places his hand behind his head. From the looks of it, he could pass for a Hollister or Abercombie & Fitch model. I stand directly on top of him to get good shots. If I'm being honest, this isn't the ideal position I'd want to be in. It's a little uncomfortable and weird, really.

Suddenly, water hits the shore and Charlie attempts to save his khaki pants by jerking straight up. Instead, jerking straight up somehow caused me to tumble forward, allowing both of us to fall back down. I also end up dropping my camera on the sand. Water continues to run beneath Charlie, which caused his whole outfit to be soaked. "Shit!"

The water still kept going around us. I panic as I watch it slowly ooze towards my camera. Miraculously, the water stopped before it could reach it. I graciously let out a sigh of relief. "Will you get the fuck off of me now?!" He yells in annoyance. I flinched when he does so and realize that what was happening: I was on top of Charlie Gardener. Because I was on top of him, I didn't get hit by the water at all. I quickly scurried to my feet and grabbed my camera. I turned to Charlie, who was still really angry that he was drenched. He got up from the ground and gathered his stuff. "Thanks to you," He snaps. "I am soaking wet, and I have rehearsals for the musical after this!"

I feel a familiar tightness gripping my throat. As Charlie continues to curse at me, a burning heat rushes through my body and I can hardly breathe. The DJ over by the boardwalk starts blasting music that seems to be ten times louder than usual. My surroundings then become too horrifically bright. My hands become clammy as I start to lose control of my body. My vision starts to get blurry and my heartbeat begins to speed up to the point where I could hear it.

Once Charlie finishes grabbing his stuff, he walks over to me. He stops and takes a deep breath. "Just email me the photos whenever you can." And with that, he walks away. When I've lost sight of him, I walk towards the pebbles near the ocean. I stare out to sea, trying to take big breaths. I stay until I've finally coaxed my heartbeat back to normal.

C8: ‘Cirque du Arses’

Başımı John’un her dava sonrası oturup bloguna yazılar döşediği masaya bırakıp herkesin birbirine bakıp gülmesini izlemekle geçirdim. İçlerinden sadece Elvan sakin ve donuktu. Yıldız Tilbe de bildiğiniz gibi işte, Yıldız Tilbe olmaya devam ediyordu. Sherlock, John ve Jim hiç bitmeyecekmiş gibi olan bir konuşma içinde Elvan’la Yıldız’a bakıyorlardı. Yıldız onları görüp yerden kalkıp John’un yanına gider.

Y.T: “Şarkı aççsana!” John kadının bağırmasından irkilip ona gülerek bakar.

J: “What?”

Y.T: “ŞŞAARKI AÇSANA LAN!” Bu biraz sert oldu Yıldız abla.

J: “shhrkı?”

Y.T: “SONG SONG! İdyot herif.”

Aralarındaki saçma iletişime katlanamadığımdan Yıldız’ı kolundan tutup sandalyeye oturturum.

A: “Ne istersin Yıldız abla?”

Y.T: “Aç be oynak bişiiğler!”

A: “Tamam.” derim hafif korkmaya başlayarak. Kadının dağınık kızıl saçları ve diplerindeki siyahın tonunun dikkatimi dağıtması sonucunda arkamda oluşan halay topluluğunu fark etmem biraz zaman almıştır.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=COghD-UyE3U

Bir anda arkamdan çok tanıdık melodiler gelir. AH hayır! Balkanlar olmaz! Kapatın şu müziği! Hangi ilerizeka açtı bunu? Off. Maalesef o dans çemberine katılıp ben de istemsiz şekilde oynamaya ve göbek atmaya başlarım. Bir anda sol kolumu ezip geçen bir cisim çemberin ortasına yerleşip hepimize iş atmaya başlar. Bu cisim tabii ki Yıldız Tilbe’den başkası değildir.

Y.T: “AAAAAALLAH. Aaah, ağağaaağağa aah!” diyerek savaş çığlıklarıyla çemberdeki herkesi etkisi altına alır. Bu etkinin kesinliğinden emin olunca da Sherlock’a oynar her şeyi. Sherlock çok saçma bir şekilde etkilenmiş görünür ve onu izler. Yıldız sonra John’un sinirlerine basmaya çalışır.

Y.T: “Sen de az oyna be babalık!”

John ne dediğini anlamaz ama kendi çapında oynar fakat Yıldız Tilbe olaya müdahale edip nasıl oynaması, parmak şıklatması ve kıvırması gerektiğini gösterir.

Bence ben hala rüya görüyorum. Gerçekten bu kadar şey sonunda rüya çıkacak tıpkı Lost’ta olduğu gibi. Mantık çerçevesine oturtabildiğim tek kişi Elvan olduğundan ona yapışacağım gibi bundan sonra.

J.M: “Hey witch! Can you teach me that?” der meraklı çocuklar gibi. Bu Jim gerçek bir gerizekalı. Neyse ki Elvan ve Sherlock bunlara katılmadı da kendimi yalnız-

S: “Me too!” Bu ne entüziyağzım?

E: “Oh fuck it. I just want to learn the belly dance.” der bana bakıp. Hepsi salakça bir şekilde Yıldız’ın yaptığından bağımsız başka danslar türetirken ben de bu müziğin kaynağını bulmaya çalışayım bari. Bu öyle telefondan bilgisayardan gelmiyor. Bildiğiniz alttan alttan geliyor. Basını sonuna kadar açmışlar falan böyle. Hayır bayan Hudson yaşlı başlı olmasa o açtı diyeceğim. Hadi o açsa şiki şiki baba açmaz. Şimdi bunu burada bir ben bir de Yıldız Tilbe bilir. Ha belki de Elvan. Elvan’ın telefonuna mı baksam acaba şehir şebekesi hoparlörlerie mi bağlı diye? Etrafı aramaya başlamam son hız devam ederken arkamda bir el hissedip Allah yarattı demeden arkama dönüp elini kırarım.

J.M: “SHIT! YOU BROKE MY ARM!”

A: “Sorry but you interrupted my search.”

J.M:” Wha?”

A: “What?”

J.M: “What search you idiot?” Bu arada konuşurken gayet ayık daha demin kayınpederin ensesine şaplak atan damat gibi davranan bu herif. Oğlum sen kimi kafalıyorsun?

A: “Aren’t you high?”

J.M: “NO! If I was I couldn’t walk you MURDERER!”

A: “I didn’t do that on purpose. It’s a reflex.”

J.M: “To kill people?”

A: “I just broke your hand, you sound like a tormented child locked in a basement.”

Jim sanki ona dünyanın sırrını söylemişçesine bana bakar. Okey, galiba cidden böyle bir şey yaşamış. Evet, ‘deduction’ konusunda Sherlock’tan daha ileride olduğumu söyleyebiliriz galiba.

J.M: “Oh god. Just fix this!” der kolunu göstererek. Ama düzeltmek istemem açıkçası. Sonuçta tükürdüğünü yalamak oluyor bu.

J.M: “FIX IT OR I’LL CALL THE POLICE!”

A: “For what exactly?” derim gevşek don lastiği gibi. Bir anda şarkı değişir ve Jim diğerlerine dönüp bakar. Ben de fırsattan istifade aramama devam ederim.

J.M: “What you’re looking for imp?”

A: “The source of this bullshit.”

J.M: “I recommend you to find a mirror and then look at it.”

A: “I think this supposed be funny. Where’s your sister’s phone?”

J.M: “She doesn’t use a phone.”

A: “I am sure she uses it.”

J.M: “No it’s a toy phone for children.”

A: “What are you bullshitting? Tell where it is!”

J.M: “First fix my arm.”

A: “I’m not a magician okay? Go to a hospital.”

J.M: “I can’t just walk into a hospital and say hi.”

A: “You’re just going to say, someone broke my arm please fix it doc. Oh wait. John! Tell John to fix it.”

J.M: “NO.”

A: “Well isn’t it a bit too direct?”

J.M: “He’ll cut my arm off I’m sure of it. I’ll be Jim Lannister for the rest of my life and try to find my personality again. Which a struggle I refuse.”

A: “What did you say? Oh god you’re all maniac.”

J.M: “The hand, is his sword hand remember? So that’s what all he is known for except being the kingslayer... but still, it’s his identification. So that Bolton man chopped his identity like Ramsey did to Greyjoy boy. Oh my god I should start doing this. I’m an idiot.”

A: “I thought that’s what you did to Sherlock for years.”

J.M: “Oh that’s just a game. I never meant to hurt him like they do in game of thrones. It’s real life after all, so I may-”

A: “Are you sure you are not high?”

J.M: “You asked if I am not and then if I am high. Are you high?”

A: “No I’m just here for observation. I can tell that you didn’t inhaled the smoke.”

J.M: “Why were you watching me inhale and exhale things?”

A: “Oh maybe I want to be sure of my employers’ safety.”

J.M: “Which one?”

A: “Uum... you of course!”

J.M: “I’m not a fool. You meant specifically just Sherlock even though you tried to get the letter ‘s’ for John, it was not very heart felt, wasn’t it?”

A: “I broke your arm and you’re chatting with me.”

J.M: “I faked it! But I’m sure there’ll be a bruise. My only intention was to make you talk to me and I got what I needed. Thanks to your stubbornness.”

A: “Why?”

J.M: “Well, think this as an interview for your position.”

A: “Then when will I get my results?”

J.M: “We’ll call you later.”

Gözlerimi devirip bu adamı kendisi ve saçmalıklarıyla baş başa bırakıp halay çekmeye yemin etmiş dört gerizekalıyı birbirinden ayırıp John ve Sherlock’u halay ayini çemberinin içinden çekip çıkarırım.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i0IYD33BR1c&feature=youtu.be&t=25

Sonra onları merdivenlerin oraya götürürüm.

A: “Which one of you has enough brain to talk?”

Aynı anda birbirlerini gösterip gülme krizine girerler.

A: “Bravo then. I’ll start with you Sherlock.”

S: “Oh, we dropped the names? What happened to Mr. Holmes?”

J: “Ugh! That’s really funny! The way she says it like, oh misster Holmes where are my panties? I couldn’t find them under your bed.”

Bu adamın suratı bir yumruk istiyor.

A: “Oh I found it John!” dedikten sonra suratına istediğini verip Sherlock’a dönerim ve bir anda adamın tüm ‘sense’leri nedense yerine gelir.

S: “You punched him! The man who hired you!”

A: “What? Should I feel conscious in a way cause he does what he must do?”

S: “No he did not have to hire you. Specifically you. He wanted it to be you!”

A: “What?”

S: “Look, I can’t keep this away from you anymore.” der ve John’a bakar. John elini suratından çekip Sherlock’a döner ve Sherlock cebinden bir zarf çıkarır.

J: “No you won’t do it Sherlock! Get back to your senses!”

S: “I can’t let this experiment to end with a disaster.”

J: “What disaster? She’s having fun, we are!”

A: “No actually. From the beginning of this day my mind is like a soup.”

S: “Ahaha! It’s a fun saying! A soup!” der ve John ve bana bakar. Yüzü tekrar ciddileşir ve elindeki zarfı bana uzatır.

S: “Now take it.”

J: “Don’t be ridiculous Sherlock.”

J.M: “YEAAH! Don’t be ridiculous Sherrinford!”

Jim’in geldiğini görünce Sherlock’un yüzü düşer ve elindeki zarfı da tam ben alacakken hızla cebine koyar ve ayağa kalkıp Jim’in karşısına geçer.

S: “How come you know my name? There are only three people-”

J: “U-um!”

S: “Four people-”

A: “Uumm, don’t forget me!”

S: “Shit! I assume John told everyone around him.” dedikten sonra John’a iki tane kızgın bakış atıp kalkmasını söyler.

J: “No... bullshit. I didn’t! But maybe Mycroft just talked to us a little about it after that incident in Sherrinford?”

S: “Stop bothering my memories! And you assistant! You will not work with him! He is a psychopath unlike me.”

A: “I thought you are all psychopaths. Except Yıldız Tilbe.”

J + S + J.M: “Who?”

A: “Can’t remember a client’s name even yet you call yourself a detective.”

S: “I remember what I choose to!”

A: “So I should feel lucky that you didn’t forget that I’m your assistant?”

S: “Yes.”

A: “What about my name?”

S: “Well actually you never said your name and-” derken Sherlock ve John’un telefonları aynı anda çalar.

S: “It can be a trick!” der ve dönüp Jim’e bakar.

J.M: “OH come on! I am RETIRED! I have no finger on this.”

S: “Mycroft. You?”

J: “Mycroft?” der ve ikisi de aynı anda telefonu açarlar. Bir anda etrafta o iğrenç frekans çarpışmasından oluşan 1500 desibellik çınlama olur ve herkes kendini yerde bulur. Sherlock telefonunu kapatıp etrafına bakar fakat hepimiz sesten dolayı bilincimizi yerine getirmekte zorlanırız. Sherlock John’a ve Jim’e bakar. Jim yerde gülerken bacağına bir el yapışır. Jim omzunun üstünden bacağına bakar ve yavaş yavaş bedenine tırmanan Yıldız Tilbe’yi görür. Kadın zombi filminden çıkmış gibi olduğu için de Jim korkup geri kaçar ve Sherlock’a çarpar.

J.M: “Save me Sherry!” Sherlock Jim’i çeker ve ikimizin arasına alır. Yıldız Tilbe de yerde kaldığıyla kalır ve sonra da başını yere koyup uyur.

J.M: “Is she dead?”

S: “Shut up Moriarty. John. JOHN!” Sherlock John’u sarsar ve John bir şeyler geveler.

S: “John! Wake up!”

J: “Five minutes more mummy.”

S: “I’m not your mom! Wake up!”

J: “Oh Sherlock? It’s been a long time since you haven’t-”

S: “Hush John! Stop talking nonsense... everyone can hear you. “

J: “Oh what now? Are you embarrassed?”

S: “John, stop it.”

J.M: “Oh my god don’t tell me that you cheated on me with him!”

S: “No I did not do any kind of that particular thing that you are all thinking right now! Stop stamping us as a couple! We are a pair but not a couple!”

J: “What? we are just a pair? Like shoes?”

Allah’ım dayanamıyorum. Galiba kendimi merdivenlerden aşağı atıp Feriha gibi bayılacağım.

A: “Sherlock don’t change the subject and give me the envelope!”

J: “What? Envelope?”

E: “What’s happening here? I can’t believe you joined them brother!”

J.M: “Pfft! Sorry sis but you know how in love I am.”

E: “It is OBSESSION JIM!”

J.M: “Oh fuck it! You’ve never been in love and you can’t know it-”

S: “It’s obsession.”

J.M: “What?”

S: “Love is a type of overdriven obsession.”

J.M: “WHAT?”

J: “Aaah, don’t be a dick!”

S: “Yes it is.”

A: “He is right guys.”

J + J.M: “WHAT?”

S: “Ssstop saying that! And for the first time we agree on a matter.”

A: “No actually.I know that you pretend to not believe in love but actually you do believe.”

J.M: “Yes after our time on the rooftop and-”

J: “Oh disgusting!”

S: “Don’t be homophobic.”

J: “What? ME? If I was a homophobic how would I handle all the situations of our misunderstood relationship status?”

S: “Oh that’s just a way of denial John. We both know you are homophobic but also secretly interested in these stuff.”

J: “What stuff?”

S: “Don’t make me say things might hurt you.”

J: “No no say it. I’ve had enough hurt coming from you. It wouldn’t hurt me after evertyhing.”

J.M: “Oh fighting! I love it!”

E: “Jim please let’s get out of here.”

J.M: “What no?”

S: “Look I don’t want to hurt you! Not again in front of all these people.”

J: “Oh so you became sentimental right now? Not expected from Sherlock Holmes. Detective with a funny bloody hat!”

S: “Do-not-call-me-like-that!”

J: “Why? Because of the woman?”

A: “What woman?”

S: “Like you don’t know!” Bu adam baya çirkefleşiyor kavga edince.

A: “I don’t!”

S: “Yeah yeah of course.”

J.M: “The woman...”

J: “Talk later Jim. We’re having a fight here!”

J.M: “Oh yeah sorry.”

J: “Tell me Sherlock. What’s it under your tongue?”

S: “Frenulum.”

J: “Sh- just say it!”

S: “What?”

J: “What I am!”

S: “You want me to make deductions about yo-”

J: “No bloody idiot! Don’t pretend you don’t know what I mean! Say it! Hurt me!”

S: “That was a bit-”

J.M: “Sexy...”

A: “Thanks for the commentary.”

S: “No, I would prefer self destructive and also low self esteem can be seen even from Everest!”

A: “Aq yine benim espirilerimi çalıyor.”

S: “Yeah I did. Do you have any objections?”

A: “Not of course.”

J: “Tell me!”

S: “Okay but don’t be mad at me after.”

J: “I’ll try my best.”

S: “Okay. So my deduction is that you pretend to be not interested in homosexual relationships but you are not avoiding it. So this means you are actually curious if anyone around you is homosexual you would try to get into his pants. Cause, women are not just enough for your appetite. You are a hungry sex addict man cause you need applause from everyone for what you have done in the army. Not just army, also your previous life before that. I can’t imagine how hard it was but I can understand why you are expecting to be welcomed by everyone. Cause you’ve had a lonely childhood. You never had any praise from anyone around you. Your family members were not so considerate towards your true desires of life. So you gave up on them and went to college in a different city -preferably far far away- and found the first love of your life there. Her name is something very common and plain so it made you feel you belonged somewhere. You couldn’t abandon that feeling until- Until... Unfortunately you still have that feeling. That’s why you can’t abandon me or anyone.”

Aaaaaa... Bu biraz ağır olmadı mı? Yine de çok mantıklı geldiğini söylemeliyim. Çünkü John’un suratı her cümlede gittikçe kararıyordu ve Sherlock’a yumruk atmamak için kendini zor tuttuğu barizdi.

A: “Umm John, let’s get some air and leave this man with his hallucinations.”

John’u omuzlarından sarsıp zorla binadan çıkarınca gece lambası yüzünden kendine gelir ve beş altı kez gözlerini kırpıştırır.

J: “Wow. “

John bir süre caddeye bakar ve başını sağa sola sallar sanki düşünür gibi.

J: “Son of a bitch.”

A: “O-okay...”

J: “A smart one.”

A: “Yeah... but rude.”

J: “Yes.”

A: “You want to go to somewhere like-”

J: “Pub it is.”

A: “O-ok-okay?”

J: “Why you stutter?”

A: “U-umm i-it’s I DON’T KNOW!”

J: “Calm down. Let’s get a cab.” dedikten sonra kafasını çıkarıp gelen taksi var mı diye bakar.

A: “Umm, looking at the wrong direction.” dedikten sonra gelen taksiye ıslık çalarım ve durur. Garip... John hemen taksiye biner ve kapıyı kapatır. Peki. Keşke yana kayıp ben de binseydim ama olsun sinirli herhalde bu adam. Arkadan dolaşıp kapıyı açarken bir anda kapı elimden kayıverir. Çünkü taksi beni almadan direk gider. Çünkü John bir-

S: “Cock!” diyerek binadan hızla çıkar. Evet o bir ‘cock’ bir ‘dickhead’ dir. En az Sherlock kadar.

S: “Let’s get the other one. TAXI!” der ve bir anda bir taksi gelip aramızda durur. Ta-tamam. Sherlock paltosunu çekip taksiye biner ve hızla kapıyı kapatır. Ben de kapıyı açarım ve içeri girecekken Sherlock beni eliyle iter. NE?

S: “This cab’s for me. You take the other one.”

A: “WHAT?”

S: “Take it!”

A: “I won’t come unless you pay for it!”

S: “Don’t come then! Get OFF!”

A: “Fuck you Sherlock Holmes!”

S: “Thanks.” der ve arkamdan kapıyı kapatır.

Ellerimi şakaklarıma götürüp baskı uyguladıktan sonra bunun rüya olduğunu ve uyanmam gerektiğini düşünürüm. Ama kendimi uyandıramam. O zaman uyanmak için ekstrem şeyler yapma gerek. Yani bu da demek oluyor ki gelecek taksinin önüne atlayacağım. Neden olmasın?

Evet uzaktan bir taksi geliyor tam da şansıma. Taksiye hızlanıp beni alması için ıslık çalarım ve tam istediğim hızda gelir. Aramızdaki mesafeyi ve taksi hızını hesaplayıp ona göre en hasar alacak şekilde taksinin üzerine atlarım. Taksi sağa sola kıracağından ve şoförün sağlak olma ihtimali olmasına rağmen İngiltere trafik akışı soldan olduğundan adamın da kaldırıma çıkma gibi bir derdi olabileceğinden sağa doğru koşarım ve-

Scuttlebutt

Summary: Welcome to the Rebellion's premier gossip blog, Scuttlebutt! This week's exclusive: JYN ERSO!

Author’s note: So, this is a bit different to what I usually write, but the idea came to me and wouldn't leave me alone! I'd like to thank the absolutely incredibly talented @skitzofreak for allowing me to play around with her style: this is very much in the stylistic vein of her work 'Message Traffic', which I highly recommend you read if you haven't done already, because it is spectacular! I'd also like to thank my amazingly wonderful beta, @rapidashpatronus, who talked me out of my doubts regarding the story and also made her usual invaluable suggestions which improved it beyond recognition! This story is also available to read here on AO3.

To: xylog5671 From: jakyl8593 Subject: Scuttlebutt is back baby!!1! Attached: 1 file (jyrso.unedited.mp7)

Hey man, I know we haven’t had a chance to do one of these in a while, but I got us a Scoop, that’s scoop with a capital S! Check it out, see what you think! Jas

...file loading…file loading...file loaded…

*Jas appears on screen, grinning widely*

JAS: What’s up Scuttlebutts! Today, welcome to a Scuttlebutt exclusive edition, an interview with a very special guest, a near mythical figure within the Rebellion, shrouded in mystery and mystique alike: please welcome...Jyn Erso!

*Jas holds his smile briefly for what is clearly meant to be a cut point, then moves off camera. In the background, a door opens, and incomprehensible speech can be heard. A split screen appears, one side showing Jas, the other Jyn as she lowers herself into a chair, glaring down the camera*

JYN: What do you want to know?

JAS (slightly flustered): Uh, let’s start simple I guess, why don’t you tell us your name?

JYN: Jyn Erso.

*brief pause*

JAS: Ah, okay, any middle names, nicknames...?

JYN (stops glaring at the camera, face goes expressionless): No.

JAS: Really? Not even from your boyf - *glances at Jyn’s face, moves on hurriedly* - ok, next question! What age are you?

JYN: 23

JAS: And not looking a day over 21! *laughs nervously. Jyn doesn’t laugh. An awkward silence follows* So, Jyn, where were you born?

JYN: In prison.

JAS *laughs again, then stops abruptly as Jyn stares stonily* Wait, for real? Ok, interesting, how did that happen? JYN (looking torn between suspicious and murderous): My mother was in prison on Vall’t due to Separatist activities. I was born shortly before she was released.

JAS: Wow, your mom was kick ass! *Jyn glares at him* Ok, let’s go for something else simple: what’s your favourite colour?

JYN (definitely looking suspicious now): What the hell is this, are you trying to establish a baseline or something?

JAS: (looking more and more nervous): Aha, yup, that’s definitely what we’re doing, yeah.

JYN (looking no less suspicious): Uh huh. So favourite colour?

*Jas nods frantically*

JYN (gaze goes unfocused for a moment, her face softening): I think probably brown. Like rich cocoa.

*Jas looks thrilled to have gotten a genuine answer. Jyn comes back to herself and her face goes stony again.*

JAS (looking slightly more confident): Okay, so, Jyn, rumour has it that you once broke into an Imperial compound using nothing but your truncheons and got out unscathed: can you talk about that for us?

JYN: Which time?

JAS: There was more than one? *coughs slightly* I mean, whichever one you feel most, uh, exemplifies your talents as an agent of the Rebellion.

JYN (thoughtfully): There was this one time, back when I was still with the Partisans...Saw had me in charge of an infiltration of the local Imperial garrison. We needed supplies, food, medicine, and the Imps had everything we could want and more. I was fifteen, but he knew I could do it. We studied the guard pattern, knew when we could slip in and out, it should have been a non-contact mission, but something went wrong...some of the ‘troopers came back earlier than we were expecting, and we had to fight our way out. Of course, you know about that sweet spot on a ‘troopers helmet where if you shoot it, it explodes, right?

*Jas nods enthusiastically*

JYN: Well, Tyron and Zwylxt were taking advantage of that, but my blaster jammed, so I only had my truncheons. I took out one of the troopers at the knee, compound fracture, then crushed his larynx as he fell so he died choking on his own blood, then caught the other one right behind the ear so his head exploded.

*Jas looks like he might throw up*

JYN (in a faraway voice): I can still taste the blood in my mouth…

*Jas retches slightly, and Jyn’s face shifts*

JAS: Um...yes, that sounds...very impressive, and I oh my Force what are you doing?

*Jyn pulls out a blaster and points it almost casually at Jas as he scrambles back from the table in panic*

JYN (quiet but threatening): My turn to ask the questions. *she smiles briefly and Jas shudders* Let’s start simple I guess, why don’t you tell me who you are?

JAS (panicked and slightly high-pitched): I told you, I told you, I’m with Intelligence, we’re just doing a, a, an update on personnel files, particularly those who whoa whoa whoa, hold on!

*he puts his hands up in supplication as Jyn slowly and clearly switches the blaster from ‘stun’ to ‘kill’*

JYN (leaning forward intently, her voice a little louder now): Seriously? You nearly threw up when I mentioned blood, no Intelligence agent would be that squeamish! *Jas whimpers indistinctly. Jyn ignores him and continues* And a place in a ‘trooper’s helmet that blows up? Give me a break, how stupid would that be? So I’m asking you again: who the fark are you?

JAS (high pitched and terrified): Okay, okay! Look, my name’s Jas Kylar, I run a blog called Scuttlebutt, it’s an internal blog, it’s just a bit of fun, we do profiles on people in the Rebellion, a bit of human interest, we just thought you’d be a really interesting subject and, um, can you let me go?

*Jyn looks like she’s considering using her blaster, but instead sits back and regards him in disgust. He lowers his hands warily*

JYN: A blog. Seriously. Don’t you have something better to be doing with your time? The Rebellion is scraping by, everyone’s stretched thin and you’re doing ‘personal profiles’? *she makes air quotes*

JAS (hotly): Listen, people are interested in this stuff, it’s good for morale! And it makes the leaders seem more real, more like people, instead of just goons ordering us all to our deaths.

*Silence as Jyn considers this*

JYN: Fine. But I’m not a leader. Why the hell are you doing this on me?

JAS (laughing slightly): Are you kidding? You’re one of the heroes of Scarif, everybody’s talking about you, you’re like a, such a mystery! Do you know what my views are going to be like?

*Jyn glares at him and he clears his throat nervously*

JAS: Um, so yeah...can I ask you more questions?

JYN (through gritted teeth): No.

JAS: Just one more, come on, like, look, are you dating anyone right now? Because rumour has it you and that intelligence guy Andor were seen getting pretty cosy around when they were having the Death Star celebrations and oooooooh farking sithspit what are you doing??

*Jyn lifts her blaster and, as Jas scrambles back from the table in a panic, shoots first one and then the other camera. Both screens go immediately to static*

*Jas reappears on screen in a different room*

JAS: So there we have it Scuttlebutts, an exclusive with the elusive Jyn Erso! And as for that last question, well, we might not have a verbal answer, but I think the lady doth protest with her blaster a tad too much...see you next time, only on...SCUTTLEBUTT!

Fark me, man, how do you even still have that if she shot out the cameras? You’re lucky she didn’t kill you, apparently she is like crazy aggressive, did you hear she took out Mecra in the line for the canteen??

To: xylog5671 From: jakyl8593 Subject: Re: re: Scuttlebutt is back baby!!1!

I’m smarter than that, had the whole thing streaming live back to my datapad in my room. My cameras are farking destroyed though. I’m thinking it doesn’t need much editing, I should be ready for upload in like 2 days?

P.S. I thought that story about Mecra was a rumour?

To: jakyl8593 From: xylog5671 Subject: I don’t know…

Are you sure about uploading this man? I kinda feel like she’ll find out about it, and if she does, she might actually shoot you.

P.S. Nah, man, Merca told me himself, she broke his arm.

To: xylog5671 From: jakyl8593 Subject: Don’t be such a scaredy tooka!

No way, she thought she destroyed the file when she shot out the cameras, she didn’t know about the stream back to my room. Plus, think about the views we’ll get! You know you want to…

P.S. Merca is full of shit, I know for a fact that he broke his arm falling out of his bunk when he was trying to impress Ladeen.

To: xylog5671; jakyl8593 From: unknown Subject: First and final warning

Gentlemen,

A few points to note:

Recording rebellion staff without their permission is strictly forbidden, and carries a penalty of three months salary.

Disseminating that recording without their permission and/or knowledge is also strictly forbidden and carries a penalty of six months salary and two months in the brig.

You will find that all versions of this file have been deleted, and are irrecoverable.

You will also find that both of you have been placed on a restricted list with the quartermasters office, and will not be able to source more recording equipment without a written statement from your supervisor.

Any further attempt to contact Jyn Erso will result in severe penalties for both of you.

Mecla Klabot is, in fact, full of shit.

Do not come to my attention again.

Fulcrum.

Bodhi looked over Kay’s shoulder, his mouth moving as he read through the comm. “Fulcrum? Don’t you think that’s overkill?”

“No,” Kay said, punching the send button. “It is statistically likely that they will think this communication came from Cassian, and for some reason, lower level members of the Rebellion find him extremely intimidating. I suspect it is because they correctly assume that he could kill them without being caught.”

“Kay!”

“What? I am merely stating a fact. Cassian’s abilities when it comes to infiltration and assassination are impressive.”

“Yeah,” said Bodhi, shifting a little uncomfortably, “but I don’t think it’s something he’d really like us to be talking about.”

Kay tilted his head. “Upon analysis of Cassian’s previous reactions when the topic has been brought up, I surmise that you may be correct. I will not mention it again.”

Bodhi patted Kay’s shoulder. “You’re a good friend, Kay.”

“I know.”

“To Jyn too.”

“That is impossible,” Kay said snippily. “Jyn Erso and I are not friends.”

Bodhi laughed at him. “So you just spent an hour hacking into Private Kylar’s files and sending him a threatening email about releasing personal info about Jyn because...you’re not friends?”

Kay said nothing.

Bodhi patted his shoulder again. “It’s okay. I won’t tell Jyn you like her. Come on, it’s sabaac night. Want to go and pretend I can’t play again? Bet you I can win Cassian’s blaster back off Jyn.”

Kay scoffed. “I’ll take that bet. The odds are stacked significantly against you.”

He stalked off, and Bodhi trailed after him, still chuckling as he switched off the communication terminal. His comm beeped at him as he did, and he glanced down at it.

To: boroo8793 From: unknown Subject: You are a good friend too

See above.

Fulcrum.

it’s the little things in life: chapter two

Chapter Title: hair today, gone tomorrow

Chapter Summary: Cassian and Jyn encounter some difficulty with sleeping arrangements.

Author’s Note: Okay so this was going to be a one-shot but then mini-Cassian ATE MY BRAIN despite the fact that I have multiple other things to be working on (not least of all my actual PhD thesis), the upshot of which is that I have written another snapshot and have yet another in progress. What is my actual life. Also please excuse the terrible dad-joke pun. I couldn't resist.

Read on AO3 here or under the cut! Also, for anyone who may have missed it, here is chapter one, on AO3 or tumblr. :)

Jyn woke because someone was pulling her hair. She swatted at the source vaguely, still more asleep than awake, but a muffled high-pitched shriek had her lurching into wakefulness, sitting up sharply and then swearing as the tug became a firm yank.

“Cassian...fark!”

She put a hand up to her head in confusion and encountered...a leg? After a moment of utter bewilderment, she figured out what must have happened and clapped her other hand over her mouth to stop a giggle escaping.

She turned her head carefully, holding Cassian in place and was greeted with the sight of his face mere inches from her nose, glaring with all his might.

“Um...hi?”

He glared more and Jyn stifled another giggle.

“Need some help?”

He said nothing and she rolled her eyes.

“Or it can wait, I mean, you’re looking a little caught up at the moment.”

“I,” Cassian said clearly, “am going to murder you.”

“After I help you get untangled?”

“...after you help me get untangled.”

Jyn began plucking at strands of her hair, wincing as the tugs at her scalp became sharper. She managed to free one of Cassian’s legs, then the other, but stopped as she came to his arms and torso, unsure where to begin as she surveyed the mess of knots.

Cassian, silent up until that point, noticed her hesitation. “What is it?”

“Nothing, I just...Force, Cassian, you’re so tangled, how did you even manage this? I might have to cut you out.”

“No don’t do that,” he blurted and she stared, surprised by the force of his objection.

“I promise I wouldn’t cut you.”

“No, it’s not that,” he said and she was sure he was blushing a little. “I just...really like your hair, I’d hate to make you cut it.”

Jyn blushed a little, touched. She cleared her throat, feeling slightly awkward, and started picking carefully at the hair swathing his arms. As soon as she had one arm free, he reached down to help, his smaller hands proving much more adept at the fine work.

She did have to break one or two strands, unwilling to risk tightening the few caught around his neck, but in the end, they were the only casualties, and Cassian was soon free, flopping down on the bed with an embarrassed groan and bringing one arm up to cover his face.

Jyn curled up next to him carefully, sweeping her hair back and away from her face (and from Cassian). She reached out and carefully stroked his chest with her forefinger, something he would never admit to liking, but she had noticed it calming him ever since the IMD ‘incident’. The contact worked, his blush receding, and he peeked out at her.

“Sorry for waking you.”

“That’s alright,” she said, still stroking him gently. “What happened?”

He hid his face again and mumbled something into his arms that she couldn’t make out.

“What?”

He sighed and said more clearly, “I had a nightmare.”

Jyn’s smile dropped from her face.

“I dreamed I was trapped and I couldn’t move and you were dying right in front of me and then I woke up and…”

He trailed off, but Jyn could fill in the blanks: woke up actually trapped and panicked, making it worse.

“Did I ever tell you about the time I punched Saw in the nose?”

The non-sequitur threw Cassian, as she had intended.

“What? No, when did that happen?” He sat forward, embarrassment fading.

Jyn groaned, remembering her own mortification. “I was twelve, and it wasn’t long after I got back from my first real mission with the Partisans. He came to shake me awake, but I was having a nightmare, and BAM! Popped him right on the nose.”

Cassian chuckled, eyes alight with mirth. “I bet he wasn’t too impressed.”

Jyn smiled, still remembering. “No he was not, fell right back on his arse. That was one of the only times I ever heard him swear actually. For all he was a hard man, he was surprisingly soft-spoken.”

“What happened next?” Cassian asked, drawing her out of her reverie.

“Oh well, I was terrified, naturally, but he just complimented me on my reflexes and told me I should start sleeping with a knife under my pillow.”

Cassian left out a bark of surprised laughter and Jyn’s smile turned wry. “He certainly had...unconventional child-rearing methods.”

They lay in companionable silence, not quite dozing, but in a hazy place neither sleep nor wake, until eventually Jyn’s alarm buzzer jolted them both from the quiet, and they laughed a little self-consciously before getting up to face the day.

***

Cassian didn’t think anything of it when he saw Jyn deep in discussion with Baze after breakfast, or when she left him with Kay to ‘help’ with the IMD repairs (Cassian was too small to be of much help, but Kay liked the company, much as he would never admit to it).

However, that evening, he couldn’t keep the surprise from his face when Jyn marched into their quarters with her hair tightly drawn back in a braid, touching it self-consciously as she caught him staring.

“What?”

“Nothing.” He cleared his throat. “Your hair suits you like that, it’s beautiful.”

He could see her blush pinking her cheeks. “Thanks, Baze taught me.”

She slid into bed, tucking her plait carefully down behind her, then looked at him expectantly. He swallowed down the lump in his throat that felt suspiciously like gratitude and clambered up, nestling into the hollow of her clavicle.

He slept there all night, and every night thereafter.

Premier League predictions: Lawro v rapper & Man Utd fan Avelino

New Post has been published on https://thebiafrastar.com/premier-league-predictions-lawro-v-rapper-man-utd-fan-avelino/

Premier League predictions: Lawro v rapper & Man Utd fan Avelino

Arsenal host Chelsea on Sunday but which of these inconsistent sides will come out on top?

“Take away Liverpool, Leicester and Manchester City, and there are a lot of bang-average sides in the Premier League this season,” said BBC football expert Mark Lawrenson.

“People talk about how good Chelsea are ‘on their day’, and say the same about Tottenham or Arsenal too – but they are not having many days.

“All of these sides are being beaten by teams you would not expect to, and sometimes pretty easily.”

Lawro is making predictions for all 380 top-flight matches this season, against a variety of guests.

This weekend, he is up againstrapper and Manchester United fan Avelino.

Avelino grew up in Tottenham but fell in love with Manchester United after watching David Beckham and Paul Scholes on TV. “Kevin de Bruyne is the best player in the Premier league – much as I hate to say it. My favourite player cannot be a City player, though, so I am going with Paul Pogba. Why? On his day, he is unstoppable.”

Avelino, whose latest song Higher Power is out now, has been frustrated by United’s up-and-down form this season – and thinks Paul Pogba could help provide the solution.

“Nothing comes as a surprise to me with United this season,” he told BBC Sport. “I have been saying for a while that, in the bigger games, we tend to do all right.

“We just need to figure out a different way of playing because when we are asked to have most of the ball, it is like we don’t know how to break teams down – there are no ideas, it is like we are running into a brick wall.

“The reason Pogba could help fix that problem is because of his inventiveness. He can just pick a pass or do something where he changes a game with one moment.

“He is head and shoulders above the other guys. It is almost like being back in the playground, when one of the older boys would get on the ball. Everything about him is just better.

“I don’t think he can do it on his own, though. We have to build on what we have with him in the team, but we definitely need one or two other players who can do something similar.

“People say he is inconsistent but I think we have to admit United are not one of the best teams in the country right now, and he needs some help.

“Pogba plays with the best of the best for France, but it is not the same for him at United – and when the United team does not perform then it does not seem fair to always say it is his fault.”

Premier League predictions – week 20 Result Lawro Avelino SATURDAY Brighton v Bournemouth x-x 1-2 2-1 Newcastle v Everton x-x 1-1 1-1 Southampton v Crystal Palace x-x 2-0 0-1 Watford v Aston Villa x-x 2-1 2-0 Norwich v Tottenham x-x 0-2 2-1 West Ham v Leicester x-x 1-1 1-2 Burnley v Man Utd x-x 0-2 0-3 SUNDAY Arsenal v Chelsea x-x 1-1 0-2 Liverpool v Wolves x-x 2-0 1-1 Man City v Sheff Utd x-x 3-0 4-2

A correct result (picking a win, draw or defeat) is worth10points. The exact score earns40points.

LAWRO’S PREDICTIONS

All kick-offs 15:00 GMT unless stated.

SATURDAY

Brighton v Bournemouth (12:30 GMT)

Brighton played well in the first half against Tottenham but ended up with nothing to show for it.

That seems to happen quite often with the Seagulls. They are nice to watch but they are not clinical at putting teams away.

Media playback is not supported on this device

‘Lots of positives’ despite Brighton defeat – Graham Potter

Bournemouth are pretty similar, just more experienced at this level. Cherries striker Callum Wilson is fit again, which is a big boost for them, and it would be just like them to go to Brighton and win.

Lawro’s prediction:1-2

Avelino’s prediction:2-1

Newcastle v Everton

Everton got a good win over Burnley in Carlo Ancelotti’s first game as Toffees boss. They had to wait to make the breakthrough, but they deserved the points.

Media playback is not supported on this device

Carlo Ancelotti pleased with ‘special’ Everton win

The worst thing Newcastle did in their defeat at Old Trafford was scoring first, because they made Manchester United angry.

However, the Magpies have been in decent form at St James’ Park under Steve Bruce – they have not lost there in the league since Arsenal beat them on the opening weekend.

If they react as a team, like they did after their last heavy loss against Leicester in September, when they responded by winning three and drawing one of their next five games, then they will get something out of this one.

Lawro’s prediction:1-1

Avelino’s prediction:1-1

Southampton v Crystal Palace

Southampton produced their best performance of the season to completely outplay Chelsea on Thursday.

Media playback is not supported on this device

Massive performance from every Saints player – Ralph Hasenhuttl

Their results have picked up a lot in the past month, which shows what a good idea it was to back Saints manager Ralph Hasenhuttl when he was under pressure earlier in the season.

A lot of clubs might have reacted differently after losing 9-0 at home when they were in the bottom three.

Crystal Palace also got a really good result, fighting back from 1-0 down to beat West Ham, especially because the Eagles do not score very many goals.

I am going with another Southampton win here, though. They have the worst home record in the top flight at the moment, but Hasenhuttl has developed a knack of picking the right team to get the job done.

Lawro’s prediction:2-0

Avelino’s prediction:0-1

Watford v Aston Villa

Watford are off the bottom of the table and their improvement continues. They had to work very hard for their point against Sheffield United last time out – but they got it.

The great thing for new Hornets boss Nigel Pearson is that he has come in and got results straight away.

Doing that means he gets a response on the training ground too, because the players think: ‘He knows what he is talking about.’

Aston Villa hung on to beat Norwich but it is a real worry for them that they are conceding so many goals and chances.

It is alarming how open they are, and that is why I am backing the Watford revival to continue.

Lawro’s prediction:2-1

Avelino’s prediction:2-0

Norwich v Tottenham

Norwich made lots of chances in their defeat by Aston Villa but, not for the first time this season, they finished empty handed.

The Canaries will think they can get at Spurs too but, unless they improve defensively, this will probably end up with a familiar outcome for Daniel Farke’s side.

Lawro’s prediction:0-2

Avelino’s prediction:There might be a bit of a shock here. 2-1

West Ham v Leicester (17:30)

I thought Leicester’s tactics were strange in Thursday’s defeat by Liverpool. James Maddison was on the left of midfield but he kept disappearing to come inside and play, because that is what he does.

That left Trent Alexander-Arnold completely free to pile forward down Liverpool’s right. Everyone knows what a threat he is, and I don’t really understand how Foxes boss Brendan Rodgers did not spot what was happening, or try to change things to stop him.

Leicester are now without a win in three league games, and I am not convinced they will get a victory here, either.

Media playback is not supported on this device

Manuel Pellegrini ‘disappointed�� with manner of West Ham defeat

The pressure is mounting on West Ham boss Manuel Pellegrini as his side slide down the table, but they have picked up some decent one-off results along the way and I just have a feeling this will end up in a draw.

Lawro’s prediction:1-1

Avelino’s prediction:1-2

Burnley v Man Utd (19:45)

Which Manchester United will show up? At the moment, you just don’t know.

As poor as they can be – their defeat by Watford before Christmas, for example – United are very dangerous when they are at it.

This is a tough game to predict, because I also think Burnley will be better than they were when they lost at Goodison Park in their last game.

But if United play well, they will win.

Lawro’s prediction:0-2

Avelino’s prediction:I have been buzzing off United striker Mason Greenwood since before the season started. He is unreal.

I speak to some of the people at United and, even in the summer, his name was buzzing.

He was the talk of the club, with people expecting big things from him, so I started looking into him and saw this young guy who is two-footed and has got ice in his veins with his finishing. He has got a lot of work to do, but you can see what everyone is talking about – he is just so dangerous.

I love seeing talented young players but what sticks out for me is if I can identify character and temperament too.

If I could pick one player for United to sign in January, it would be Jadon Sancho from Borussia Dortmund. He is quick, dynamic and young, and he is creative and hungry for success too.

He would be able to handle the pressure of playing for United too – obviously talent is the first thing you need but to be a success at big clubs you need the right mentality too, and he showed that by going to Germany and becoming a key player for his team.

As for the game? It is a tough one but we are going to go there and absolutely pulverise them. Pogba will be back in the side too. 0-3

SUNDAY

Arsenal v Chelsea (14:00)

This is Mikel Arteta’s first home game as Arsenal boss, and I am sure that will give everyone a bit of a lift.

But I just don’t trust the Gunners defensively – you can’t, because it is still the same players, regardless of who is in charge.

Chelsea are so inconsistent at the moment too. I watched their defeat by Southampton last time out and, as frustrating as they were in that game, I would not be surprised if they played much better here.

Lawro’s prediction:1-1

Avelino’s prediction:Willian looked like Lionel Messi when Chelsea beat Tottenham last week. I am a big, big fan of the Blues right now, and their manager Frank Lampard.

Chelsea are a young team so they are going to have some weeks where things do not go so well for them, but it is exciting to see a lot of young English players get their chance. 0-2

Liverpool v Wolves (16:30)

The number of chances Liverpool have created in the first five minutes of their past two league games is just frightening.

What Jurgen Klopp’s side are doing slightly differently now is they keep hitting these long balls, from Trent Alexander-Arnold and Virgil van Dijk, and they are so accurate.

It is so difficult for teams to try to stop them, because they don’t really know what is coming.

It just means Liverpool keep getting behind defences, and not just from interplay in the opposition half – they can hurt you from distance now too.

That is what whoever they are up against has to contend with, and I think they will cause real problems for Wolves – who will have had a day’s less rest than them before playing it too.

Lawro’s prediction:2-0

Avelino’s prediction:I love watching Wolves. They are good defensively and they are a good counter-attacking team, and I think they can come away with a point. 1-1

Man City v Sheff Utd (18:00)

Sheffield United have not been beaten in any of their nine away league games so far, but this is by far and away their toughest assignment to date.

If City play anywhere near as well as we know they can, they will have too much firepower for the Blades.

I am not expecting United to make life easy for them, because they will be solid and well organised, and they are a clever side.

But the teams who have beaten City at Etihad Stadium this season – Wolves and Manchester United – undid them using absolute pace, and Chris Wilder’s side do not have that in their attack.

Lawro’s prediction:3-0

Avelino’s prediction:To beat City at the Etihad like Wolves and Manchester United did, you pretty much have to play the perfect game.

As great as Sheffield United have been this season, I think City will have too much for them. Kevin de Bruyne is playing like an alien at the moment, and is the best player in the Premier League without a doubt. 4-2

Lawro was speaking to BBC Sport’s Chris Bevan.

How did Lawro do last week?

From the festive Premier League matches on 26 and 27 December, Lawro got five correct results with no exact scores from 10 games for a total of50 points.

He was beaten by singer-songwriter Richard Hawley who got four correct results, but with one exact score, for a total of70 points.

Re: Blood in Your Veins

Hey so uh.

As anyone who’s been following me for a while knows, I started the serial “The Blood In Your Veins” about this time last year (it used to be ‘my veins’ but retitled it on its move to AO3 because execution of prompt had changed a bit over writing). It’s a prompt that I couldn’t stop thinking about and just dabbled in slowly to see where it went. Then 2020 fully hit and my writing came to almost a complete stop until about October, which is when I began again on Illuminating the Shadows, which was finished and posted in December.

Anyway, I’ve been poking and prodding fairly continuously at The Blood in Your Veins. The first four parts that I posted originally here on tumblr are now all on AO3, and once part 5′s up I’ll link it here and link everyone who wanted alerts to the updates then so they can see the new part. Then all future parts will be linked here as well.

(Cut because why the *hell* did I write this much about this?)

I’ve been slow in posting because I, against better judgement but why not, decided to post it as a WIP. But that means I keep on making edits to older parts because I think of something new that should be addressed earlier in the story. Like uh, when I was writing part 9, I realized I needed to go back to part 5 and add an addendum. When I was writing part 12, I realized I totally forgot a part that I ended up adding in part 8, because I needed it for a future connection. This happens all the time in my writing and makes posting WIPs almost dangerous because my thinking is rarely linear if the story takes place over a course of more than a couple days. Thus the very slow posting.

So this silly little prompt thing that I was just prodding and poking at to see where it went? The farking doc passed 50k words tonight. Yup.

Granted, like 10k of that is probably outlining, personal notes, and A/Ns filled to the brim with meta, medical science, fake science, and technical/computer engineering because I love talking about it and giving people info to access easily for their own knowledge. I figure I can’t be the only one who finds this stuff super fascinating and fanfic makes it unique in that it’s not a book where the research is irrelevant, you can show off all the interesting stuff right here and talk about it with people! I love that about fanfic, so much. Sometimes the A/Ns are just as interesting as the story in some stories.

So it’s gonna be a bit slow for however long, but I finished 11 parts (with 10 betaed), have the 12th largely written out (though I’m not 100% sure about it yet so I want to poke at it more), and parts uh, 13 to 17ish outlined. But considering I was like “yeah this is 8 parts at most” like, at the beginning of this, that number is bound to change because characters keep saying things and doing things (including the supporting OCs, who are demanding to be fully fleshed out within the bounds of supporting character roles).

And yeah, this is just a ramble of what I’ve been mostly doing as I haven’t been super active on tumblr this month as this has consumed most of my free time. I haven’t read a lot of works either, and once this is completed I hope to remedy that, before I go into my next two big projects (which were meant to be what I was working on *now*, but then this took over and what will you do. I’m not sure if I’ll be able to complete three novel-length fics in the course of the year, but I’ll see what I can do. I really want to tell these stories).

Uh, this was really long. Sorry, I’m super verbose and don’t know how to be like, succinct. My old boss, two bosses ago now, used to quote Twain about brevity being a sign of wit, but if it is, call me 100% unwitty because I like to ramble. And then I always feel a little bit guilty for writing *so much* about my bullshit, so I feel like if you read this far, you 100% deserve to read a preview of an upcoming section. Especially since you pressed the Read More button! So here you go, thanks for reading my rambles. This is a section from the longest part so far, part 8. It’s a long little bit!

---

"How high's the toxicity now?" Tony asked as he stepped off the scale.

"Yesterday's blood sample came back at 0.45 milligrams per kilogram of your weight," Stephen replied. He snapped on a pair of latex gloves.

Tony offered his arm for the blood draw. "And if 3 milligrams is the magic number for fatality, that'd put my current blood toxicity at 15%."

Stephen inserted the needle at the crook of Tony's elbow and watched the tube fill up. "That's not quite how it works."

"It makes sense to me."

"That's still not how it works." He removed the needle and capped the tube, and as he put everything away, explained, "Saying that your blood toxicity is at 15% implies that you're talking about the whole volume of blood in your body. You're probably at about 5,500 milliliters with your weight, and with the density of blood equaling about 1.06 grams per milliliter, it is like you're saying—"

"That 874.5 grams of my blood is toxic, yeah, yeah, I know," Tony interrupted. By now he was setting up the table for their breakfast.

"I was getting there."

"You were going too slow," he shot back easily. Stephen gave the engineer a look at the comment, but Tony ignored it. "Yeah, I know it's not my whole body's blood volume. Obviously. But putting a percentage on how long until I reach the point that I'm dead makes sense to me. I'm not measuring the whole volume of my blood, I'm measuring how much more can I handle until I'm dead."

Stephen shot him a frown. "It doesn't make sense to call it 'blood toxicity' then."

"Maybe not to you, but it does to me. And I'd design such a measuring tool for me."

The statement caught him off guard. "Design?" He finished packing up the kit and joined Tony at the table.

"Well, if I wasn't stuck in here, I'd design something to automatically read a blood sample, like how glucose meters read blood sugar levels. Wouldn't be hard to engineer something like that. And I'd have it give me the amount of toxicity as a percentage relating to how far along it was until the amount was lethal. Sure, I could memorize the numbers, but the percentage would be more concrete in my head."

Stephen smeared butter over a piece of bread as he listened. He shook his head at the end of Tony's explanation. "Wouldn't work for the consumer market; there's too much room for interpretation as to what the percentage means."

Tony huffed. "Well, like I said, it'd be for me. Not the consumer market."

His brow furrowed. "You're telling me that you can make a blood test as simple as the one used for testing blood sugar levels for something as rare as palladium poisoning?"

He narrowed his eyes. "... yes…"

"You can make it portable like the glucose meters?"

"Yeah, of course."

"And affordable to most hospitals?"

Tony looked up in thought. "I don't usually factor in the costs of materials and manufacturing in personal projects, and others do the number crunching to see if my ideas are viable for production in company projects. If they aren't, but I really want them to be, I'll tinker a bit more, sure."

Stephen couldn't believe what he was hearing. "Do you realize the amount of money you could save for both hospitals and patients across the country with such technology? Specialized blood tests—like for many metal poisonings, for instance—aren't offered at every hospital. It may not be available even in every state. Those types of lab results can take weeks to get back to a doctor and the patient. And you're saying that you can not only potentially create this type of technology, but that you may be able to make it affordable if you really want them to be?"

"Well yeah, sure. I've done it a few times with other things. I could probably do that with a blood meter thing. I doubt the tech's that complicated."

His mouth was partially hanging open, Stephen realized this, but he couldn't bother at the moment. He was flabbergasted. The first thought that came to mind went to his mouth, unfiltered. "And you spent the last two decades building weapons."

"Don't." The word was sharp and filled with an overabundance of emotion.

Stephen fell silent. He crossed a boundary he had yet to see before now, and he was not so callous as to push against it. Instead he turned to his meal and focused on eating. He avoided looking at the other man.

A couple minutes later, Tony spoke again. It was low, pensive. Thoughtful. "There was a good reason I shut down weapons manufacturing after I got back from Afghanistan, you know. If the department ever comes back, it will be with major restrictions and modifications. Likely more defensive than offensive. More shields, less missiles. But in the meantime I've been restructuring. Expanded in commercial aerospace and industry. We entered the energy market properly. Consumer products is coming soon—end of the year, probably." A pause. "Don't see why we can't look into medical tech, either. Certainly wouldn't hurt to try."

He could only nod and say, "It certainly wouldn't."

Killing Book

Aka, the Death Note movie released this year. Now, I like Death Note (the anime of course). I watched it when I was like 12 or something and it introduced to the world of gory anime. So as you can expect, I was upset at seeing this movie, seeing the wrong things in the trailer and knowing it would be even more wrong in the movie. I was interested though, as one would be interested in watching a kid harmlessly fall so you can snicker at them. I avoided the movie even if I wanted to see the train wreck it was. But tonight, at somewhere around nine pm I decided NO MORE! I shall watch the movie and tell my friend how bad it was. We’ll be calling her Friend. I skype messaged her (i know who uses skype anymore? i do. because im lazy and dont want to change to discord) while watching it. Sadly she left early because she sleeps waaaaay earlier than I do. So at some point I’m just talking to myself. Just to let you know. Enjoy my ramblings.

WARNING: Obviously lots of death is mentioned. Also, if you liked the anime of Death Note, do NOT watched this movie. It’s horrible.

So this was taken directly from skype, with VERY little editing (just small things like personal stuff etc.) and it is rude, crude and not pleasant to look at. I tend to message a lot, in segments and that is was what made this so long. You have been warned.

Me: so I'm finally watching the death note movie Me: and I might rant at you a bit Me: first, its set in Washington in seattle Me: and lights fuckin blond frosted highlights Me: why

Friend: so Friend: 10/10

Me: its the best start a movie could ever have Me: so light is bullied and does homework for other classmates Me: who is this man? this isn't the light I know

Friend: maybe Friend: maybe Friend: just maybe Friend: someone kidnapped him

Me: god and now he likes this fark haired girl Me: dark Me: light loves no one Me: his heart is too icy to love Me: if only he was kidnapped Me: then at least he would break out and kill the person impersonating him

Friend: does he have the death note?

Me: yeah Me: its so different Me: its not the same at all Me: its like they just took the concept and fucked it Me: so the death note looks used even tho I pretty sure it was blank in the anime

Friend: it's for the money

Me: shit dude ryuk is in the house

Friend: is ryuk still cool thougj

Me: and light just fell over and is now running away Me: idk we'll see

Friend: does he still freak out over apples

Me: maybe Me: didn't ryuk show himself in lights room? Me: cause right now he's in school at detention Me: oh ryuk ate the apple

Friend: they met in his room

Me: welp here they met at detention

Friend: also it's to soon for light to know ryuk's obsession with apples

Me: its waaay too soon Me: I'm 10 minutes in Me: light didn't know ryuk for awhile Me: not almost immediately after getting the death note Me: also ryuk is persuading light into using it Me: anime light did not hesitate to kill a motherfuker Me: didn't need a demon to tell him what to do

Friend: wait Friend: what about the chip scene

Me: oh Me: what] Me: the Me: FUCK Me: they've ruined it

Friend: THE CHIP SCENE!?

Me: wasn't it a rule that if you put someone name without a death, theyd die of a heart attack like an hour later Me: well Me: fuck that rule Me: doesn't exist Me: they die by random bullshit means

Friend: WHAT?!?!!?

Me: also Me: no chip scene Me: yet Me: I'm waiting Me: anime light waited until he got home to kill a guy Me: but movie light was still at school and watched him die Me: heres what happened that absolutely gets rid of the heart attack rule Me: so a couple of kids had a basketball and dropped it when a woman's bags of groceries ripped Me: the kid chased after the ball into the street, where a car swerved to miss him Me: another car coming the opposite way swerved to miss the car and hit a parked car Me: a ladder on top of the crashed car got loose and decapitated the guy whose name was written Me: instantly after his name was written Me: wtf happened man

Friend: -.-

Me: also Me: apparently there are rules to the book Me: lemme get to the scene where he looked at them Me: but I know one of them was the holder of the death note can only hold it for 7 days Me: wtf?? Me: in the anime anyone could have for eternity if they wanted Friend: for as long as they lived or until they gave it up Me: atleast his dad is still a cop Me: but his mom is dead??

Friend: dfhnasjkfahdjkasdhf Friend: what

Me: by getting hit by a car by the guy he killed earlier Me: wtffffff Me: okay Me: okay Me: tell me what you get from this, its rule 65 of the book Me: "each page of the note contains the power of the whole note" Me: wtf does that mean?? Me: ooh Me: oooooooh Me: wait Me: is that the thing where you could tear a page out and it would still work? Me: wtf you gotta word it like that man

Friend: it's as bad as tests

Me: okay I got a previous rule wrong Me: it was rule 95 Me: anyone can write names in the note but only the keeper can have it longer than 7 days

Friend: -.- that's still stupid

Me: it is yeah Me: I'm pretty sure a death note was supposed to have one owner Me: I mean once you touched the paper, you were stuck with the powers until you died or gave it up Me: also Me: previous apparently wrote warning ramblings in the book for light to see Me: "don't trust ryuk"

Friend: -.- Friend: no

Me: he also said ryuk weird Me: I say ree-yook Me: he said rye-uhk

Friend: i'm sad Friend: i'm pissed

Me: and that's barely 20 mins in

Friend: need bleach?

okay now movie L is sitting like in the anime lights dad is beating L down L is threatening light and light is acting as innocent as possible ryuk is meddling in lights plans lemme tell you those plans light write the name of L' assistant, having him find L's name and then tell light but ryuk is there to screw things up oh shit ryuk took the page with L's assisatants name on it so mia betrayed light light wanted to save watari watari is L's assitant but mia and ryuk messed that up ooooh shiiiiit mia did kill all those agents she killed 13 people not ryuk oooh L is angry that watari is dead and mia is trying to kill light hope he kills her instead L is gonna hunt light down L is driving angrily through the streets just rmapgaing dude rampaging now L is chasing light on foot 20 mins left no chip scene (note: really sad there wasn’t any chip scene) L is confrtoning light but light is saved by one of his many admirerers mia is trying to take the book and theyre fighting at the top of a ferris wheel light put mias name in the book she dead the ferris wheel deatached so now its slowly falling ryuk is manipulating the ferris wheel mia is hanging out of the pod thing light dropped her light fell mia died in an explosion of flowers light landed in water the book did too now L' there the page containg lights name is burning and L saw the page buring some old guy just picked up the washed up death note this new guy is carrying on kira's duty while light is in a coma now he's returning the book back to light oh light woke up L knows that mia was involvev involved lights dad knows he knows now light is gonna tell his dad how it works okay wait some exposition is going down and you need to know what is up so mia wrote that light's heart would stop at midnight so to fix that light chose a rapist who had connections to a hospital to save light when he fell in the water, give him cpr and keep light in a medically induced coma hospital guy commits suicide then light writes a pedophile mailman gets the note book on the shore, writes criminals names to keep up the act while light is in a coma, gives the death note back and commits suicide then he writes when mia takes the note book from light, she falls, tears the page with lights name on it that then the page is burned, light lands safely in water and mia dies instantly when she hits the ground L found the page with watari's name and all the agent's names L angry at light hes laughing crazily L looked like he was gonna write light's name but then the credits are going ooh that was interesting they showed behind the scenes stuff while playing the credits but it was done in a way I hadn't seen before they were like flashing it on screen inbetween credits, only a few seconds at a time got to see how they did ryuk which was cool god damnit they never showed if L wrote light's name or not I'm guessing not I waited through 5 mins of creits for thi why so light didn't kill any innocent people huh but mia sure did so my rating is 0/10 this wasn't death note this was like like some knock off version called'killing book' hope your happy that L is alive tho didn't have to kill himself like anime L did unless that was what the end implied hang on imma see if movie L killed himself too well Wikipedia doesn't say anything but we all know how reliable Wikipedia is that was a real joy ride hope you enjoyed my ramblings even thought half of them prob don't make sense

Lineup Lamentations - GW5

Our Transfers, Captains, and Starting 11s for the week!

—

WALSH

TRANSFERS:

OUT: Laporte - rip

IN: Otamendi - god help me

Unfortunately I was unable to save off the back of the WC which never feels great, but hopefully making a lateral swap here which frees up 1m to boot.

I don't really imagine this going well, since I have slated Ota for a while, and think he's more or less a red card shout / absolute shit house player generally speaking, but here we are.

If it's a transfer waiting to happen, so be it, but the bottom line is I still want a share in City's defense, I don't trust Everton for cleans still, and something didn't feel quite right going all the way down to a Burnley guy in a spot on my team which I realistically need to start week in week out... Until Pep shows us that he is willing to play anyone not named Otamendi as the LCB with Laporte out then I will just hope and pray he doesn't kill anyone (which would thus kill himself with a ban) and doesn't die. Whatever. Cue Dinho and Schtones at CB tomorrow.

Post international break GW is usually a complete disaster crisis gameweek so I am just simply trying to brace myself for it ahead of time.

GK:

Pope (bha)

Pope is looking good in this moment with the good run of fixtures incoming. He's been just a bit below average with only one return through four but the underlying metrics are looking good for him and hopefully he's just a long term hold guy I don't have to worry about.

DEF:

Alexander-Arnold & Robertson (NEW)

Trent and Robbo with the home banker okay lets go Livp. Early game so much of my mood for the ensuing foots will be decided by these boys. Realistically a win to nil at home against a bad bus feels like a reasonable expectation for this one so hopefully it comes to fruition.

Otamendi (nor)

New nightmare Ota is straight in, obv. Somewhat tricky away fixture for a clean but it's still City so he'll just be an auto start every game until I remove him.

Lundstram (SOU)

Finally, Lundstram gets his first go in my squad home to Soton.

I'm going to be rotating him in and out over the near term so we'll see if this is the beginning of something beautiful between us or the beginning of a fraught relationship that will lead to me hating him for the rest of my life. Time will tell.

MID:

Salah (NEW) & Sterling & De Bruyne (nor)

The trio of Mo Raz and Kev remain and likely will do for some time. Really nothing to say about these three other than they are good. Spots I don't really need to think about at this time.

McGinn (WHU)

Rounding out midfield is someone who is not really that good in McGinn.

Good home fixture with West Ham rolling up so hopefully he is able to get in there. If he looks bad and/or they look bad then I might fuck him off.

He's on a short leash, that's for sure, as he was really the one shit place I compromised on my WC team since I wanted to plump for Laporte... With that money freed up now, no other problems in my team, and a new price bracket open to me... I might fuck him off even if he does return. Who is to say?

FWD:

Pukki (MCI) & Haller (avl)

Pukki and Haller the two amigos seem like just a couple great value picks and happy to have them.

Great fixture for Haller and he might slowly but surely present himself as a long term hold. Stats and eye test are there with him not to mention the price is right - think he's a really tidy option.

Pukki has a tough fixture but as Farke showed us the lightning and thunder in GW1 at Anfield who knows what's what with them. Obviously they are completely decimated by injury, but I need to see multiple bad attacking performances before I begin to worry here.

CAP:

Sterling (nor)

Going back to the Raz well again. Fool me once, shame on me, fool me twice, fucking hell fuck me.

Still don't feel confident enough capping Kevin over Raz, and probably won't do all season, if I'm being honest here.

I think Norwich with no fit defensive players (Farke's words, not mine) and the style they employ is not a comparable fixture to a Newcastle bus so I didn't really think about Mo this weekend.

Counting on Raz to not have 0 shot attempts again this week. Obviously the trip to Ukraine midweek for UCL is a thing that is happening, but whatever.

Trying to predict how Pep hands out minutes is like (insert funny thing here) and I don't really want to find some psychological line to talk me into Raz will play 53 minutes only to see him haul and play 88.

Been there before, not trying to go there again.

ALON

TRANSFERS:

OUT: Deulofeu

IN: Che Adams

Gerry dropped all the way down to 6.2 so there was a relatively small and unimpressive pool of dudes for me to choose from for this punty spot in my team.

Realistically this is a one or maybe two week punt before I pop my Wildcard next week or the week after... Che has actually insanely good expected stats which is nothing to scoff at even though the goals have not flowed at all...

The greater skill to have and the harder skill to find is to keep getting off the high xG shots rather then to be finishing at a higher rate above your xG, if that makes sense... I hope I’ve worded that clearly...

Anyway, TLDR: Che is doing stuff, Southampton are an attacking team in an attacking setup, Ralph is good I like Ralph, and Soton have the fixtures over the next two. And that’s why I went Che.

COME ON CHE!!!

GK:

Ederson (nor)

City gotta clean their shit up a bit if they’re gonna be a 20+ cleans type of dominant force again this season but yeah of course I back them to do exactly that.

Eddy’s been mostly really good this season and I feel comfy with him.

DEF:

van Dijk (NEW)

It’s time for rotation to begin for the top teams... feels good to have the safety of VVD who is a rock. And this clean should be straightforward for Liverpool.

Digne (bou)

I’m a little nervy about Everton’s defending and their ability to limit good chances... Digne kinda papers over the cracks with his terrific attacking output, but if they start looking like cleans are going to be a rarity this season then even his attacking numbers will not make him worth the 6.0+ million.

Maitland-Niles (wat)

Ainsley AKA Ashley was rightfully so very deep on my bench for liv TOT and he put up one pointers in each of those so we’re fine.

In his two starts for me (GW1 and 2) he got twelve and two puntos respectively so he’s still been a sneaky great guy for me thus far... Arsenal’s very long very good run of fixtures starts now but Bellerin also is coming back soon so time is running out.

Hoping Arsenal can do a job and keep out the Quique Sanchez Flores bus this week and maybe he’ll sneak another attacking return. Come on Ashley.

Emerson (wol)

Starting Emmy here because Wolves suck at attacking and Chelsea could still keep a clean and Emerson could still get an attacking return who knows?

Rudi looks like he’s back this week which is a huge upgrade and Kante will be back soon which is another huge upgrade but yeah, not feeling great about this pick.

Also Emerson’s injury news doesn’t look great for me but if he doesn’t play I have Söy coming in in a cleanable fixture at Old Trafford so not too bad.

MID:

Salah (NEW) & Sterling & De Bruyne (nor)

Doing the trendy thing and just grouping these sexy fucks together because they’re all awesome and they have good fixtures and that’s all you need to know about that.

Mount (wol)

Everyone knows the deal with Mount. Looks great, takes a lot of shots, presses like a maniac, on frees and corners, it’s just good stuff. At his price it’s just good.

FWD:

Pukki (MCI)

Pukki in a yikes fixture here we go... Norwich are so fucked up and injured I don’t know I definitely don’t expect any points here but maybe they get one or two good counters or maybe Pukki takes a pen or something. He’s good enough to roll out there, for sure.

Adams (shu)

I said all I needed to say about lord Che in the transfers section.

CAP:

De Bruyne (nor)

I guess everyone has Sterling and a lot of people have Kun and understandably they’re garnering most of the captaincies that I’m seeing around the block.

Kevin, for me, so far this season is on a completely new level that we haven’t really seen from him before. His expected stats are out of control and he’s also got the seventh highest Fantasy Goal Involvement percentage of all mids at 54% which is craaaazy high for a team like City.

For what it’s worth too in the past Pep has rode Kevin like a horse in the league and he’s not really ever been a rotation risk. I feel ~some~ percent safer of him starting these kinds of games before UCL then I do with the forwards.

Come on Kev treat me.

RANDOM SLACKER OF THE WEEK: GNAR

The words of Random Slacker are not officially endorsed by this website nor any employees of FML FPL LLC.

TRANSFERS:

OUT: Laporte

IN: Otamendi

I don’t feel like I have too much choice in who to take out this week. Laporte having knee surgery and set to miss the rest of 2019 means he’s an absolute no brainer to axe.

Who to replace him with is a much more interesting question.

I’ve been playing 5 at the back all season and it hasn’t worked out as well as I’d hoped so far. But I do feel like I’ve been unlucky with Laporte’s injury and his missed clean sheet being the icing on the cake.

If I went for a cheapo like Lundstram, there aren’t many midfielders I’d be desperate to bring in with the spare cash, apart from KDB, who is out of my reach anyway. So I’ll be continuing my Heavy D strategy, bringing in Otamendi, who is 5.4 and nailed on in a top 2 defence.

GK:

Leno (wat)

New manager for Watford, so an inevitable new manager bounce.

I have Heaton (WHU) as a rotation option, but the odds point to Leno for the clean sheet, although it’s quite marginal.

DEF:

Digne (bou)

I didn’t watch their 3-2 victory against Wolves but I heard Digne looked defensively dodgy. I did watch their 2-0 defeat to Villa the previous week, and while Everton looked completely toothless and unconvincing, Digne at least offered a bit of attacking threat. I’m not expecting a clean sheet here, but Digne has 9 chances created this season. For a defender, that’s second only to…

Alexander-Arnold (NEW)

14 chances created – 14, compared to Digne’s 9; Trent absolutely wipes the floor.

I took a hit last week to upgrade VVD to Trent and I got an immediate positive net return from it. As well as his excellent attacking prospects, Liverpool also have the best clean sheet odds this week by quite a distance.

Robertson (NEW)

Very good chance of a clean sheet this week and although he’s no Alexander-Arnold, he also offers a very good goal threat.

Maybe I’m guilty of picking and choosing stats here, but out of defenders, Robertson’s 2nd for touches in the box this season (12), which is quite a biggie for me when assessing players’ attacking potential.

Otamendi & Zinchenko (nor)

Welcome to the team, Ota.

With Laporte injured, I expect Ota to nail down a place in the first team. Enough said.

Zinchenko has a bit of a Mendy threat looming, but I’ll cross that bridge when I come to it. For now, another well priced Man City defender who will trickle points as long as he starts. Lacks the explosiveness of KDB (yeah he’s explosive now) or Aguero, but for 5.5, I’ll take a 6 pointer every 2 weeks for sure.

MID:

Salah (NEW) & Sterling (nor)

Grouping these two together because there’s just not that much to say. The two best players in the game don’t need writing about, especially when their fixtures are as easy as this. The only question is which one to captain.

Mount (wol)

14 shots in total this season, 7 on target, both are the highest of any other midfielder. But with only 5 of those shots coming from inside the box and an xG of 0.82, perhaps he’s a bit opportunistic and has been a bit fortunate.

Mount still feels like a bit of an unknown quantity to me and I haven’t watched too much Chelsea this season, but he’s well priced and there are plenty of other options in his bracket, so happy to see how he gets on over the next few.

FWD:

Jota (CHE)

I always like to plan my ideal transfers a few weeks ahead.

Before the last gameweek started, I was planning Jota to Barnes. Unfortunately Laporte got injured, so my priority changed and Jota stays with me for one more week. And Barnes is now injured anyway, so maybe it’s a blessing in disguise.

Jota is a funny one. He’s scoring for fun in the Europa League, but looking absolute garbage the following Sunday in the Premier League. He was in the squad, but played 0 minutes in Portugal’s 2 games over the IB. I feel like Jota might redeem himself.

Pukki (MCI)

The main man for Norwich.

If they score, there’s a very good chance that Pukki will be involved.

As an Ota + Zinc owner though I’m kind of hoping they don’t.

CAP:

Salah (NEW)

A real coin toss.

Salah and Sterling are both fantastic options this week, like they are every week.

So far, every gameweek I’ve picked the lowest scoring one out of the two. In week 3, I went against my instinct and went for Raz over Mo, which backfired. This week, my instinct is telling me Mo so I’m just going with it.

I played frisbee with POND ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It took me forever sorry but here’s the story of when I saw Pond on Thursday 1st June.

Soooo I arrived like super early cause I’m an anxious mess when it comes to gigs (or life generally) and I need to picture the venue or whatever the more than I can. It was like 14h and it was pretty hot so I sat under a tree and listened to music. When suddenly I saw two vans and my mind was like “omg what if it’s THE vans omg I’m sure it is THE vans” turns out it really was THE vans. I felt SUPER awkward and there was James playing frisbee with Methyl Ethel and I actually had bought a present (a Camembert ya know) for POND but James is like “new” and I didn’t wanna interrupt or whatever so I waited quite a bit in a corner watching them playing but I felt kinda creepy ahah. And then I thought that it might be my chance and that I might regret not going to see him if I didn’t get the opportunity to talk to them / give them the Camembert later. So I went to him and he was very kind so I gave him the cheese and he said I could for the other so I did. (Still feeling awkward/creepy/kind of a stalker) Jamie and Jay eventually came out and started playing frisbee too. Then Jamie sat just next to me and we talked for quite a bit (He actually remembered my sign from Rock en Seine!!!) About the gift he said “it stinks in a good way” aha. So I told him I loved Pond so much and lliked the new album A LOT and he asked me about where I came from and stuff like that and he was jus soooo kind!! Then Joe came out too and they were all playing frisbee and...I played with them a bit too I was like “wtf is happening” but that was great aha. As I mentioned...it was hot. So turns out I saw all of them shirtless (which is great cause you know I love bellies. James is now my fav belly.) At some point Jay threw the frisbee on the venue’s rooftop and he was like “aaah fark!!” like typical Jay and I was trying so hard not to laugh at the fact he’s an idiot aha. He’s very conscious of it though cause he was like “that was gonna happen someday either me or Joe” ahaha I love them. So him and Methyl Ethel’s drummer went to take a ladder in the venue and they climbed to get the frisbee back. Then Nick finally came out too and !!!! we talked !!!! and !!!! he recognised from last year saying “it’s nice to see you again”. We talked about languages and stuff aha. He told me “chouette”. I taught him to say “Marion” the french way and he told me he had a aunt called Marion!!!! Funny. We talked for quite some time and then I apologized like a lot of time telling him I didn’t wanna interrupt or disturb or whatever and he said he’d do the same for other bands and that he understood and stuff. They seemed pretty happy about the Camembert and they went into the venue. So I went back sitting under the tree very pleased with that moment I had shared with them and could hear them soundchecking.

A bit later they were on the other side and I spotted them on the grass so that’s when I told Jay about @lonerism-is-bliss and that’s all cause as weird as it seems he intimidates me A LOT. While I’m confortable talking to KEVIN I can’t speak to JAY. So weird. Anyway then I took pics with Jamie and Nick and Thom from Methyl Ethel took a very great selfie with my phone ahah.

I was still alone btw. Then finally the doors opened and. I was still alone ahahah. As there was still nobody the were wandering around the venue and Nick and Jamie smiled at me like “the show is soon now!” I love them so much best guys. Through the windows I could see them all still playing with the frisbee and I was like “my band of idiots <3″ it made my heart so warm aha.

Then I could get to the stage. I was obviously so close and I could actually sit on the stage ahah (I didn’t tho). Methyl Ethel played their first song but then they had sound issues due to the venue that was too bad!!! But they fixed it and started playing again and they’re soooooo great!!!

Finally Pond began!!!! They played 30,000 Megatons and they had sound issues too I was sooooo pissed omg. But while they were fixing it Nick crowdsurfed and everything it was sooooo amazing. The show was so fucking great I love them so much!!!! Jay was just in front of me and omg he’s so cute when he plays like ugh. And Jamie was always smiling when catching me singing (aka all the time aha). I was dancing all the time and enjoying myself so fucking much. It was so so fucking amazing but it went way too fast suddenly they started playing Man It Feels Like Space Again and I was like super happy and super sad at the same time cause it’s one of my fav song but I knew it was the song before the encore :(

They came back and played You Broke My Cool and I was so happy cause they haven’t played it last time I saw them and it’s really one of my fav and they ended the gig with The Weather and!!!! Jamie handed me personally the setlist with a big smile and he took care that I was getting it I was sooooo happy. Then he gave the other setlists to people and he stayed a bit to take pics. So I went to see him asking him if it wasn’t too much asking him to sign it. So he did it and I told him the story of my pen which is an Australians’ special. So he asked me if I wanted him to go with it and ask everyone to sign it and I heard him mention drum but I thought he was talking about the drumsticks so I obviously said yes and he told me to meet him in the alley. So I went to the alley and OMG HE WASN’T TALKING ABOUT THE DRUMSTICKS BUT THE DRUM SKIN!!!!!!!!!! So everyone signed the drum skin and the setlist and I was literally the happiest person ever. And while I was hanging around the venue waiting for the car a girl working at the venue came to see me and gave me a pick she had found cause she saw I was there super early and so yeah. I think it’s Thom bass’ pick!!!!!!

That was one of the most beautiful day in my life AGAIN. They’re the best persons ever and I love them so fucking much and omg these guys are always so good to me I really don’t understand how I can be so lucky with my fav bands.

Also won’t posting any pics here ‘cause last time I did I found MY gig pics on Instagram accounts so not gonna get stolen again :)) Just follow my Instagram if you wanna see them.

#that's long #Pond band

Untitled as of now. Please message with ideas!

my new Rucas fanfic. please lemme know what you think! Riley could not stand to see the two together. Her ex and the girl he left her for. They were all cuddly and kissy. It made Riley want to puke. She and Ben were never that bad. His girlfriend is obviously obsessed with everyone knowing that she stole him from Riley. She wouldn’t even let Riley forget it, which made her so incredibly angry. She sighed as she waited for the line in the dining hall to move so she can check out and get back to her dorm to study for her chemistry exam that was the next day. While waiting, she noticed Ben’s girlfriend send her a fake smile and a pathetic wave. “Oh bite me. You’re not fooling anyone!” Riley thought, stepping forward when it was her turn. She paid using her mean plan and headed out into the fresh spring air. She was already walking to the dorms when she noticed a boy a few feet ahead of her drop the binder that he was holding. Feeling bad, Riley walked over, and bent down to help him, setting her food on the sidewalk. “Thanks.” The boy said as the two young adults picked up the papers. “Oh, it’s not a problem.” Riley said, handing him the papers that she picked up, giving him a warm smile. He returned with a nod. “I’m Lucas.” The boy said. “Hey Lucas, it’s nice to meet you. I’m Riley.” She responded as she grabbed her to go box and stood up along with Lucas. “Nice to meet you as well, Riley!” He said, extending his hand. She smiled and shook it. “Again, thank you for your help.” “Oh, no problem at all! Maybe I’ll see you around?” Riley asked, smiling up at him. He returned the smile, nodding. “Yeah…I hope so. I’ll see you later.” Both of them smile as they parted ways. Lucas towards the dining hall, Riley towards her dorm building. Riley stepped into the building, starting the journey up the stairs to 213. Wasn’t too many flights, so she didn’t mind. Besides, the whole time she was thinking about Lucas. Was she meant to run into him? It was pretty coincidental that she ran into him right after she was close to puking at Ben and the witch. She would just have to see. She sighed as she walked to her door leading to the room, unlocking the door, stepping in. “Hey Maya!” She greeted, shutting the door behind her and slipping her shoes off. Maya looked up from her laptop and smiled. “Hey Riley, had a good day?” Riley shrugged with a smile. “It was decent, but then I ran into Ben and Lucy at the dining hall. God I swear those two are going to end up in a bad situation.” Riley sat on her bed, setting her food on her desk along with the Coca Cola bottle. “Ugh, those two have managed to become probably one of the most annoying couples on campus. Didn’t they meet at some frat party?” Maya asked. Riley nodded with a sigh. “Three semesters, just ruined by her. Still can’t believe how quick her was to leave me for her.” “Well hey, he was not worth it, he still isn’t. You will find your perfect person!” Maya reassured her. “Funny that you mention that, actually. While walking over here, I helped this guy who dropped his things. He was pretty nice. His name is Lucas. I just think it’s pretty coincidental and weird that I ran into him right after my run in with the witchy couple.” Riley opened the to go box, revealing the cheeseburger with mayo, pickles and onions, fries on the side. “Oh! Well that is pretty conveniently timed. Did you get his number or anything?” Ah! Riley knew she was forgetting something. “Shoot! I was so caught up in thinking of why I ran into him and helping him, I didn’t even think to ask for his number!” She sighed, picking up a fry and popping it into her mouth. “Well hey, that’s okay! You’ll run into him again.” “Are you sure? I mean, it’s a big campus.” Riley said, moving over to her desk chair and pulling her chemistry textbook and notes out of her bag, setting them on the desk. “Well true but, you never know. I mean, you saw him today. Maybe it will be one of those things where you see him everywhere now.” Maya suggested. Riley sat back in her chair, thinking. “True. Hey maybe he’s a friend’s roommate? That could be possible!” Maya nodded. Riley began thinking of her guy friends. It couldn’t have been Farkle, since she has already met his roommate Zay. Hm…maybe Charlie? I mean, she hasn’t met his roommate yet. Also, even if he wasn’t, he might know if Lucas is in his building or on his floor. It was worth a shot. She decided she would go after studying. After about two hours, Riley definitely decided it was time for a break. She had studied so much she saw periodic elements when she looked at the wall. She stood, stretching and looking over at Maya, who had her headphones in working on a paper. Riley hated to interrupt her, so she just left a note saying she would be back. She walked to the door, slipping her shoes on. She made sure to grab her key before going out and to the staircase. Charlie’s room was 345. Riley knew it would be easy to take the elevator, but she had a small fear due to an incident one when she was 13. However, that story is a story for another time. Riley made her way up the flight, walking out into the hall when she arrived. “Riley, hey!” She heard someone say. She looked around, turning to her left to see Farkle. “Hey, Fark! How are you?” She asked. “Doing well! What brings you to the third floor?” “Ah, I have to ask Charlie something. Hey…you might know as well actually. Is there anyone on this floor by the name of Lucas?” she asked. Farkle thought for a moment. “Well that is a pretty common name. Do you know his last name?” Shoot, she never got his last name either. “I didn’t. Dang, first his phone number now his last name? I’m slipping!” That earned a chuckle from Farkle. “Nah, don’t sweat it. You know you might have come to the right place, though. Charlie’s roommates name is Lucas.” Yes! That gave Riley hope that she might just find him. “Eee! Thank you Farkle! I’ll see you around?” Farkle nodded and headed out the door and down the stairs. Riley continued her journey. 343…344…ah! 345! Riley knocked and stepped back a bit, waiting for an answer. She smiled as she saw the door open, revealing Charlie. “Hey, Riley! Well this is a surprise. What’s up?” Charlie asked. “Not much, I’m actually looking for someone named Lucas. Farkle told me that was your roommate’s name, so hey!” She said, waving. “Ah, I see. He actually isn’t here at the moment but you’re more than welcome to come in and wait.” Charlie said, stepping inside. Riley nodded, walking in. She trusted Charlie enough to know he wouldn’t try to do anything bad or weird. “So, you’re looking for a Lucas. How did you meet him?” Charlie sat on his bed, looking up at Riley. “Well, I was on my way to here from the dining hall when I noticed he had dropped his stuff. So, I helped him pick it up and we introduced ourselves. The problem is, I totally forgot to ask for his last name and his number! Which is why I came up here to ask you. That was when I ran into Farkle.” She explained. Charlie nodded. “Wait…no I can’t be here! What if it is him? He’ll think that it’s creepy that I’m in his room! Ah! I need to go!” “No, you don’t. Just say that I was helping you study.” Charlie said. Riley sat at his desk, nodding. Just then, his roommate stepped in. Riley turned to see the one and only, Lucas. The same Lucas from earlier. She gave a small wave with a small smile, and he nodded in return. “Lucas, this is Riley. I was just helping her with some studying.” Charlie said from his bed. “Ah, I see. Well it’s nice to see you again, Miss. Riley!” He said with a smile. Riley smiled and stood. “You as well. I was actually just on my way out. Before I go though, would you maybe want to trade numbers? Sorry if it sounds weird.” She said, a nervous smile on her face. “Nah, not at all. Of course we can. Here.” Lucas said, pulling out his phone, opening a new contact form and handing it to Riley. She smiled, putting her number in along with her name. She even put a little bumblebee emoji next to it. She handed it back to Lucas with a smile. He nodded and sent her a quick text so she would have his number. “Awesome. I’ll see you around, yeah?” She asked, Lucas responding with a nod and a smile. “Great, later guys. Also, thank you Charlie!” “Anytime, Riles!” With that, Riley stepped out into the hall and went back down to her dorm. When she returned, she laid on her bed, checking her texts. She saw one from Lucas that just said “hey!” She smiled, and responded. “Hey! Doing well?” She set her phone down, looking over at Maya who was also on her phone. “Well, it was a success, I found him! Turns out, he is Charlie’s roommate!” Riley said. Maya looked over at her with a smile. “Hey, that’s great! I would love to meet him sometime.” Riley nodded with a smile. She was content. Could this be the beginning of something wonderful? Nah…too cliché. Who knows what will happen? I mean, this is college. Anything could happen, right?

The day football rebelled over VAR: Grealish fumes as video referrals are in the dock once again

The day football rebelled over VAR: Jack Grealish fumes when video references are back in the dock

It was a controversial day for Video Assistant References in the Premier League

Jack Grealish's late dive into a rejected equalizer for Aston Villa

Leicester & # 39; s Youri Tieleman's late tackle on Callum Wilson is punished

Newcastle's Fabian Schar scored but the ball hit a hand in the build-up

by Stephen Davies for the mail on Sunday

Published: 22:46 BST, August 31, 2019 | Updated: 22:46 BST, August 31, 2019

Jack Grealish was restricted by teammates after Aston Villa Were an equalizer denied in Crystal Palace on a day when managers and players raged about VAR again.

Henri Lansbury thought he had ended a point only for Villa in injury time for referee Kevin Friend to decide that Grealish had dived in the run-up. And it wasn't just Villa about a fiercely disputed VAR call with Daniel Farke, Norwich boss, claiming that the controversial new innovation of football doesn't make football 100 percent fair.

And there was also VAR riot on Leicester where Youri Tielemans escaped amazingly from a sanction despite an exaggerated outage on Callum Wilson, who starred Bournemouth in a hope left behind. Tielemans had already scored in the impressive 3-1 victory of Leicester.

Jack Grealish starts celebrating with Henri Lansbury who thinks he has an equalizer equalizer has scored

Leicester & # 39; s Youri Tielemans escaped a red card despite a late challenge on Callum Wilson

Villa & # 39; s players felt sure they were robbed of a point with a Smith storming manager: "I think everyone's image was a" charity. " No one could understand why it was not given. & # 39;

A furious Grealish, booked by a friend to dive despite TV repetitions showing that he had been polluted, had to be removed from the officials. "He got a push from Zaha in the back," Smith added. & # 39; Simulation? No chance It was a perfect charity. & # 39;

Enraged fans went to social media to wade Friend and VAR and Gary Lineker and also wade in line, tweeting: & # 39; The rejected target for @AVFCOfficial must be at the last minute

& # 39; Why didn't VAR correct what seemed like a terrible referee error, not me. & # 39;

Referee Kevin Friend cards yellow astonished Grealish for a dive in the superstructure

After Leicester's victory over Bournemouth, Wilson was furious with Tielemans' tackle.

& # 39; He missed the ball and went over the top and continued until my ankle. If it's not clear and straightforward, I don't know what it is & he said.

Watford also wondered last night how he could make handball in the run-up to Fabian Schar's draw in the 1-1 draw in Newcastle.

And Farke was outraged that VAR did nothing about Sebastian Haller's robust challenge against Christoph Zimmerman, whose referee Paul Tierney ignored, but who forced the Norwich defender.

& # 39; This match is the perfect example that VAR does not always work out and does not make football 100 percent fair & # 39 ;, was the damned judgment of the German. "There was a tackle against my middle half and the ball was three meters away. There was no red card, no yellow card, not even a free kick and the result was that my middle back was injured. & # 39;

The midfielder fuming with the decision at the end of the game, in which Palace won 1-0

The Grealish controversial led to ugly scenes in the stands with TV footage bumped by security personnel by spectators at the end thrown.

Police with lipsticks intervened, one arrest made, with video footage judged as Villa will undergo a punishment.

Villafans were also furious with comments from former top referee Peter Walton who accused Gre of alish or cheating.

& # 39; Unfortunately, Grealish has been the victim of his own theatrical, & # 39; he told BT Sport.

Steve Bruce was relieved that the handball call was on his way but is not convinced about VAR.

Tempers got so excited in the way out that the police had to use lipsticks

& # 39; It came from his hand, right? & # 39; Said the Newcastle boss.

& # 39; It's hard. We are going to have many problems with VAR. It is not the fixed answer. I am not so sure that I am a big fan of it. & # 39;

In a statement, the Premier League said: & # 39; The referee found that Jack Grealish had simulated the penalty area and blew his whistle to stop the game before the ball went into goal.

& # 39; After reviewing the incident, the VAR ruled that no clear and obvious error had occurred and that the simulation decision remained in the field. & # 39;

What leading and in control when Fabian Schar equalizes just before half-time before half-time. VAR sees no reason to overthrow the goal.

Later, when the repetitions were examined more closely, it seemed that the ball was amused in the path of Schar through the hand of teammate Isaac Hayden. It was not intentional, but that does not matter under the new laws.

Newcastle boss Steve Bruce : We are going to have many problems with VAR. I'm not so sure I'm a big fan of it, so be very honest. & # 39;

Referee Chris Foy's judgment : & # 39; It is difficult. Because there is a goal that is checked and based on the available evidence, the goal stands. It is only later that you detect a light handball. & # 39;

Leicester v Bournemouth Tielemans tackle

Youri Tielemans leaves Callum Wilson writhing in pain. Incredibly, Peter Bankes, who is in charge of his first top flight competition, is taking no action, although VAR decides that the incident is worth a second look.

Phil Thompson of Sky says : "It must be a red card." The repetitions are damned, but banks are not ignored by VAR and do not even show a yellow card.

Callum Wilson: & He missed the ball and went over the top of my ankle. If it is not clear and clear, then I do not know what it is. & # 39;

Judgment of referee Chris Foy: & # 39; Tielemans makes his challenge and the ball goes out of play. The referee has a foul and at full speed it is easy to see why. & # 39;

Crystal Palace v Aston Villa Grealish & # 39; dive & # 39;

[1945904]

With only seconds left and Villa looking for an equalizer, Jack Grealish makes an arrow to the palace area. The midfielder of the Villa seems to get a push from Wilfried Zaha, who brings him out of balance and a moment later he hits the deck after a fight with Gary Cahill.

Grealish immediately jumps up while Henri Lansbury sweeps the ball home – only for Kevin Friend to whistle. Friend decides that Grealish has been diving and shows the smoking Villa captain a yellow card.

Gary Lineker on Twitter: & # 39; The rejected target for @AVFCOfficial must be seen at the last minute I am convinced. I don't understand why VAR did not correct what appeared to be a terrible referee foul. & # 39;

Judgment of referee Chris Foy: & # 39; As he enters the area, it appears that Grealish has shifted and then goes to the ground under a challenge from Gary Cahill. Referee Kevin Friend blows his whistle, accuses Grealish of simulation and produces his yellow.

& # 39; He will be talking to VAR, telling him what he did and why, and whether the photos & # 39; s are being seen by VAR don & # 39; t completely contradicts the referee's decision so that he is not ignored.

& # 39; I have said this time and time again – if it is not clear and clear, it will not be destroyed. & # 39;
