I love animals, I really do. But some of the Zouma reaction is so overcooked and sanctimonious. The incident itself is cruel, bizarre, totally inscrutable and extremely childish - but when did all these journos become radical PETA members? And who needed Chris Kirkland's opinion?

Canโ€™t stop watching videos of Moyes. Itโ€™s like he had no idea what being this happy might be like - an entirely new sensation which he cannot control. Heโ€™s a roving fireball of serotonin. Seems capable of almost anything. He could end up in a shotgun marriage by Saturday.

The whole idea of 'lets just stick it out for a while longer' is a middle class delusion - entirely reliant on a service class that makes it easier to stomach. So many people have been working at full tilt throughout - yet the narrative is still dominated by banana bread.

Skyfall probably the defining aesthetic document of the Cameron era. A patriotic tech-thriller where everyone wears sober, navy blue suits and most scenes take place in WC1 buildings or bombed-out, washed-out cityscapes. It's Michael Mann funded by The National Trust.

One last thing about Lynch. A lot of the anchors heโ€™s coming up against seem to have forgotten how to talk to anyone that isnโ€™t angling for an appearance on the next show, or a regular โ€˜review the papersโ€™ slot. Heโ€™s there for a cause not a career, and theyโ€™re struggling with it.
