RIP Taylor Hawkins

(this was so out of nowhere, I'm in the middle of reading Dave Grohl's autobiography and he's all over that book)

RIP

He always seemed like a sweet person from afar and also lots of fun in addition to being a great drummmer and also singer. I couldn't stop listening to him performing Cold Day in the Sun for a while and obviously his covers of Queen are the stuff of legends. Leaves behind a teenage (?) son too. He was there at their concert at MSG in June last year and they showed him before Taylor went on to bring the house down with Somebody to Love.

Rest in peace Taylor Hawkins

USA! USA! USA! USA!

and I agree with edy, Taylor Hawkins always seemed such a fun, upbeat,  live for the moment type of guy. he had loads of drug issues though behind the scenes

HERE... AT THE HOME OF WORLD DARTS... THE LAKESIDEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!

doing UFC caramba?

yes, but I haven't been watchign any fights.

woah, SummerSlam 2022 coming to Cardiff, Wales.

although don't think it will be Summerslam

I can't read properly
(Summerslam will be in Nashville).

hello invisible man

is this your new gimmick?

no

Happy Easter everyone!

who's excited for WTA Stuttgart? finally the elite indoor clay tournament is here! and there isn't even a thread for it!!

sorry was busy with hipster stuff

but I am super excited.

I see Mike Jackson is back in the UFC tonight. Thought he was banned for life after his antics against Punk.

tonight is one of the two-three nights per year I watch the violent spectacle that is boxing.

kinda lame market though, it's usually more back and forth pre-fight. Hope things get exciting live.

fans singing along to This Girl between rounds
such a cool song.

so Dillian comes out to the sounds from Jaws which transitions to Back in Black.
Tyson should troll him and come out to Jaws which then transitions into Baby Shark.

can you imagine Wilder doing a walk-out at Wembley Stadium? He wouldn't even make it to the ring with his heavy armor.

There something Undertakerish about Tyson's entrances in the sense that the opponent has to come out first and stay and wait for a long time.

Will Tyson be at the WWE show in Wales?

BLOOD!!!

TIIIMMMBBERRRR!!!!

that was very lucky for me. I backed Fury to win in rounds 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and stake savers on round 7,8 and half stake saver on round 9. I had about 15 seconds left to win and I won

THE PERFECT PUNCH!

Mike is gonna scam his way into a win here? Dana will be delighted.

what did I miss? the heavy favourite just got owned?

I think Mike got a DQ win on an eye poke. I wasn't paying full attention.

Opponent was 1.15 prefight

yeah saw the prices but not what happened

£5606 traded on the loser at 1.1

what a career

Didn't this mug Zverev claim he was part of the new big 3 in 2022 (which hasn't won a title between them yet in 2022).

Mino Raiola died.

Current health status for the ones wondering: pissed off second time in 4 months they kill me. Seem also able to ressuscitate.

Aaron posted that to us. First you bring him up, then Aaron does....should I know this guy?

yes

This should be big news in Dortmund at least, if not the rest of Germany cares.

he's a super agent in football.

PSG gubbed for the 2nd weekend in a row

Mino Raiola died, for real this time.

Should wait at least a day to see if there is activity on his twitter.

I have some cool green on Real to win CL from a pre-season arb. Any opinions about the current price 2.74? Haven't decided if I should let it ride or lock in some profit.

That price will shorten within the next 24 days, then I'd bail out at KO with whatever profit. I'd also factor in Madrid will rest their best players for the next 4 league games as they've won the title, whereas Liverpool will play their best players in all 5 games, 4 in the league and the FA Cup final, Madrid will be far fresher and less likely to have injuries.

Resting players all 4 games can be suicide and work against you. I don't expect price to move much, and would lock in some profit.

In favour, Vinicius absolutely destroyed Trent last season.

UK 2nd fave to win ESC!

Sweden

Ukraine

VAMOS GRANDE BRETANGE!

market got it sooooooooooooo wrong with Ukraine

or did it

market is all over the shop!!

Ukraine back to 1.4x

is the voting ****?
as in do they know how the juries will vote and then put the countries who gives Ukraine poor points first to create some excitement?

is the voting order random or designed on purpose is what I meant to say?

I really don't know. what do you reckon?

easy for Ukraine now. Doing well in the jury voting and is 1.1x to win the televote.

it would make sense to create some intrigue that way rather than start with Poland, Latvia, Moldova etc who gave Ukraine 12 pts.

Ukraine got almost nothing from the first 3-4 juries. And now they're getting points from everyone. Seems like it was done that way by design.

kinda like how in the Trump vs Biden election they started announcing Florida and other states where Trump did well.

this should be down to Ukraine or Spain now.

you're probably right. seems too much of a coincidence that it's all Ukraine now

cool to see UK at the top of the leaderboard for a while though!!

did you see when Ukraine went to like 2.8 earlier and UK were at 3?

yup. I figured UK was a big lay at that price, but stayed away because I haven't been following. But they were expected to do well with the juries and need a landslide victory with juries to have a chance once televotes are presented.

let's go Grande Bretange!!

6 points for edy!!!

2nd place pretty cool for the UK

Best result since late 90's and it's now been 25 years since UK won (1997). In five years it will have been ... 30 years of hurt.

woah, Ukraine GOATed in the televotes.

main event of UFC fight night decided by a calf kick.

Rakic was trading at sub 1.25, got kicked in the calf and it was immediate GSM.

market was on drugs. was inevitable Jan's leg/calf kicks were going to have an effect as the 5 round fight went on

classic George W

absolute carnage in the Herenveen v AZ Alkmaar match. 2 goals in stoppage time turned it around
