2025 Formula One Season
Well I'd suggest careers with significant length whilst having 100% record over their teammates since leaving is just fine personally, it'll be nice to see Albon in a more competitive car which Williams have hopefully given this season. As for not being in a top seat, they're just really difficult to come by, particularly in the driver-academisation era - Hamilton, Russell and Antonelli have taken the only three opportunities which have been available at Ferrari and Mercedes (not that Ferrari's vacancy was really an 'opportunity'). As for Perez, who knows... by the time he was out the entire grid was pretty much filled so hard to judge too much just yet, but does feel like the new team is his only realistic chance, and he was very different to every other driver anyway - his Red Bull stint was seasons 11-14 of his career.

2025 Formula One Season
It feels like Lawson is rated more highly by Red Bull and it's almost protection to but him in VCARB again if they know this car is so bad for him. As for Tsunoda, realistically this is the only chance he's ever going to get to move to a 'top' car (can't see the other three having vacancies for 2+ years and doubt they'd consider him anyway) and if it goes badly for him we're at the point where it isn't actually a hindrance for future career - literally everyone fails eventually in that car and plenty do just fine afterwards.

Premier League 2024/2025
6 wins in a row, 3rd in the league, 6 point gap to 6th place after 20 games. "there's no way they'll stay up there" "they will definitely get found out" "they're not that good, just lucky" *plays Liverpool (1st), Arsenal (2nd), Man City (5th), Brighton (6th), Bournemouth (8th), Newcastle (9th) and Fulham (10th) in the next 8 matches* 3rd in the league, 5 point cushion to 6th place Champions League Reds, it's happening!

Indie/Rock Track of the Week: Week 10
Ghost is comfortably my preference from the rock entries, but once again I don't want to listen to any of those a second time. Black Country New Road ahead of Tennis, but doubt either will be making playlists for the longer-term...

Club Bizarre Vol. 30: ♀🜬 - RESULTS
Comfortably last! I can't say I expected much more for my entry, glad some liked it enough to vote at least, it was a strong field after all! I was listening to Phoebe's songs one afternoon as she was performing at something I was going to, so did a last minute entry for it to see how it went. There were a lot of really good songs in here, really enjoyed all the songs I voted for. The winner was one of only 6 I discarded after my first listen of the playlist ooops Great hosting Kath, really well presented all the way!

Premier League 2024/2025
I think after January's activity there's a transfer ban definitely incoming. A points deduction wouldn't surprise however I think it would be significant but not enough to endanger their PL status. No way they'd re-allocate titles.

Round 7: Year End Survivor #107
Definitely Bob of those 4. Rare I'm voting for something that good at this stage, but a clear gap between that and the other 3.

Round 1: Year End Survivor #109
What a list that is! Went for Son of Dork, don't really remember the song, just that everything about them was awful. Has to be a clear favourite two for the final.

Premier League 2024/2025
It's difficult to predict with Forest, however I wouldn't be overly confident of our downfall coming. In the first half of the season we were as high as second due to being relentless against the bottom half of the division (9 wins, 1 draw) whilst we struggled against the top half (2W, 3D, 4L), all that's happened so far is that pattern has continued (1W 1D 3L / 2W), but the unfortunate randomness of fixture scheduling has 7 of 8 games against top half teams including 4 in a row against the only 4 to beat us in the first half - Fulham, Newcastle, Arsenal, Man City - but it's feasible we could lose to all those teams again and still be in the Champions League positions after. To be in that position having played the rest of the top 6 twice already can only be one of incredible strength.
