Carrie review – the teenage hell-raiser’s glorious return couldn’t come at a better time

@CityMayorLeic Is anything going to be done to sort out Victoria Park? It's been left in an absolute state since BBC Radio 2 in the Park; the turf is ripped up, one of the rugby pitches is unusable, and the whole field turns into a swamp whenever it rains for more than an hour.

Fair enough. Liberals love cats because they love to be dominated by the ungrateful. Desperate to be subservient.

RIP Burt Reynolds. Little known fact - he spent a season at Sunderland in the early 80s.

Sad and chocked to hear of the passing of Ray Wilkins. A true football person with a totally underestimated contribution to our sport. One of the best I’ve seen. My thought are with his family. Rest in peace #RayWilkins @ManUtd
