The most awesome superhero gif ever!

There some conversations that men are quite happy to engage in no matter how old they are. Favourite footballing moments is an obvious one as much as debating whether The Godfather 2 is better than the original. But what superhero would you be is and always will remain a classic debate no matter if you're five-years old or 55.

So next time you're down the pub trying to make an informed choice on the hundreds of super powers you could choose from, you might want to pull out this fantastic gif created by Christian Tailor to give you some inspiration...

Grand Theft Auto does The Sopranos!

As if Grand Theft Auto wasn't one of the finest games ever made already, my love for it just got as little stronger after discovering this reenactment of the intro sequence to The Sopranos with a GTA spin on it.

This is quite simply brilliant, and since this fantastic piece of YouTube brilliance came my way I have noticed a whole bunch of GTA inspired Hollywood remakes from Terminator 2 to The Godfather. But this one has to be my favourite! So wake up, get yourself a gun, and enjoy...

Top 10 funny football movie poster mash ups!

This week the Liverpool FC marketing team went into overdrive when they posted this rather embarrassing football movie mash-up to promote their upcoming pre season tour to the United States. Even as an Everton fan I feel a little sorry for Steven Gerrard; the scars of England's World Cup group stage exit is still fresh in the memory and they welcome their captain home with a task like this. Unlucky Stevie lad!

But after seeing this I decided to trawl the wonderful world wide web to see what other fantastic football inspired movie posters are doing the rounds and I was pleasantly surprised to find quite a few! A big mention must go to those guys over at talkSPORT who were responsible for a fair share of these hilarious images. So enjoy 10 of the best movie poster memes I found after a quick 30 minute Google search...!

1. Luis Suarez
Where else could we start without the king of internet soocer meme's?! There were simply too many to show on this page but these four were my particular favourites: Biteback Mountain, Luis Suarez Gets The Munchies, A Uruguayan Werewolf in Liverpool and Bite Club.

2. David Moyes

Poor old Davey Moyes got his fair share of flack following his first and only season in charge of Manchester United that the movie 1 Year a Manager probably would have been a box office flop too, and I doubt that the Class of '14 will be remembered with quite the same affection as those lads from 1992.

3. Andre Vilas Boas

Another manager who got the photoshop treatment after things didn't quite go according to plan was AVB after his unsuccessfil stint in charge of Chelsea. Get Chelsea and The Shining had Stamford Bridge shaking in their boots!

4. Jose Mourinho

The Special One is another Chelsea manager with his own movie poster mash-up fame but Jose Mourinho gets a slightly easier ride as both sides of his personality are depicted in The Godfather and The Special One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest.

5. Wayne Rooney

Wazza is no stranger to tabloid teasing and he must have known he was in for a bit of stick when he decided to have hair transplant treatment and alas The Hair Stitch Project was born.

6. Joey Barton

The king of Twitter rants is no stranger to controversy and following his sending off for QPR in that game against Manchester City he became the star of Dude, Where's My Card and Dumb and Dumber.

7. Charlie Adam

There was no love lost when Charlie Adam went up against Gareth Bale as twice the tough tackling Scot inflicted injury on the Welsh Wizard leading to movie classics such as Kill Bale, Kickboxer and Chopper.

 

8. Arsene Wenger

Until last season's FA Cup success Arsenal fans had endured a nine-year trophy drought which would lead to many rival fans taunting them about a trophy hangover or in this case The Wengover.

9. Kenny Dalglish

The Liverpool legends final brush with management was bittersweet as he was criticised for a number of his decisions including agreeing to pay £35m for Andy Carroll. Some might say he was The Delusionist.

10. Ron Atkinson

Last but by no means least we have Ron Atkinson starring in Ron for no other reason than it rhymes with Tron. And that is good enough for me!

Anti-gambling campaign backfires after Germany thrash Brazil!

The internet buzz from Germany's 7-1 drubbing of Brazil  refuses to go away as this time an anti-gambling ad campaign in Singapore has gone viral for all the wrong reasons.

The campaign backfired spectacularly after their decision to depict a concerned child admitting that his father had gambled all their savings on Germany winning the World Cup. But after the German's demolition job on Tuesday the ad has prompted several comical responses, including Singaporean Minister Tan Chuan-Jin who took to his Facebook page to write: "Bad timing. Looks like the boy's father who bet all his savings on Germany will be laughing all the way to the bank!"

You simply can't buy publicity like this!

David Luiz: 'Thank God PSG Have Not Found My Receipt!'

I know that as England fans we don't really have any right to be laughing at another nation for being crap at football (especially when we couldn't even get out of the group!), but some of the comedy gold coming out in the aftermath of Brazil's thumping at the hands of the German's last night is bloody brilliant! Had I known about this wonderful video clip earlier then it definitely would have made my top 10 social media posts earlier on today!

Those boys at talkSPORT have outdone themselves with this translation of David Luiz's interview immediately after the game...!

Top 10 social media reactions and memes to Brazil's 7-1 World Cup defeat to Germany!

After just 30 minutes from kick-off at last night's World Cup semi-final in Belo Horizonte, the floodgates opened and I'm not talking about the free-scoring Germans! As one Tweet read: Twitter was made for games like this.

There was a record-breaking 35.6 million Tweets during Brazil's crushing 7-1 defeat to Germany as social media went crazy. And just like the Luis Suarez biting incident proved, this World Cup is a much better place for some of the hilarious virals we have seen during this tournament!

There really were too many of them flying around last night for me to do them justice (over 35 million!!) but here are 10 of my favourites (in no particular order)...

10. #ThingsMoreLikelyThanBrazilWinningTheWorldCup
Twitter naturally went hashtag crazy last night and it wasn't long before this one got trending!

9. We were all doing the Tim Cahill!
When Australia midfielder tweeted a picture of himself holding his hand over his mouth in shock after Brazil had conceded five goals in 30 minutes the hashtag #TimCahilling got started and I even got involved in the action with my cat!

8. Beware of what you endorse!
Footballer's will put their name to anything to make an extra few quid but I bet Neymar never saw this one coming back to haunt him!

7. David Moyes disguised as Luiz Felipe Scolari
Poor old Davey Moyes. It's bad enough the stick he got at Man Utd without having his name dragged through this mud as well!

 

6. David Brent gets in on the action

This tweet from @thecedo got a retweet from Ricky Gervais himself!

 

5. Jägerbomb...

... or Turbojäger as it is known in Germany! This was one of the best Vines of the night.

4. Sideshow Luiz!

The comparison between David Luiz and The Simpson's character Sideshow Bob are nothing new, but it didn't mean the jokes were any less funny! Here is one of the best...

3. Alternative commentary from the WWE!

WWE commentator Jim Ross got involved in the action as this YouTube clip shows good old JR calling the game wrasslin' style!

2. You have to love Pornhub!

That's it, there isn't anything else to say - you just have to love Pornhub. Oh, and this Tweet was pretty funny as well!

1. We fucked up!

I'll leave the final word to those crazy cats over @BBCSporf who did a great job rubbing salt in the wounds, this time using the ultimate lad film The Hangiover to taunt the transfer fee paid by PSG for David Luiz...

Lad Lit Book Reviews: Fear by Jeff Abbott

From the man who has brought us the one-worded-book-titled blockbusters Run and Panic has delivered yet another one-worded-book-titled blockbuster in Fear! Jeff Abbott take a bow. Again!

I’m not sure it’s possible for me to read a Jeff Abbott novel and not like it, so much so that I got my wife into his books and now she is recommending novels of his to me like she found the man first. Back off wifey, Jeff is mine! Not in a creepy fan stalker-ish type of way though, or when a man loves another man situation, or… maybe I should just strop right there!

Now where was I? Yes, a book review! A book review of Fear – the latest Abbott instalment I exposed my eyeballs to and how grateful they were. This time round we enter the world of Miles Kendrick and his post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) hell that has gripped his life since he was involved in a shootout that left his best friend dead. Now in the witness protection programme and in hiding from the mobsters he once worked for, Miles is desperately trying to conquer his demons with the aid of his psychiatrist, Dr Allison Vance.

But when Dr Vance’s office is blown to smithereens after claiming she could help Kendrick with a new medical treatment, all hell breaks loose! Suddenly Miles finds himself on the run with two unlikely accomplices in reality TV star Celeste Brant and ex-soldier Nathan Ruiz – both fellow PTSD sufferers who were being treated by Dr Vance with a new experimental drug called Frost.

Bound together by fear and the paranoia that they can’t trust anyone, they find themselves on the run from those who believe the trio orchestrated the explosion and have obtained research and secret formula for this new drug which is worth millions of dollars. A host of killers and bad guys will stop at nothing to get at them, and none more so than Dennis Groote, an ex-FBI agent employed by a pharmaceutical company, who is desperate to get his hands on Frost to help cure his own daughter of her PTSD hell.

Groote is the perfect example of everything that Abbott is good at as a storyteller. Yes, you empathise with the main character but boy do you like reading what the bad guys are up to. Groote is one tough mofo, but his intentions are honourable even if he bends the rules like Beckham bends a football to get what he wants! You are torn from hoping he is able to save his daughter to praying he doesn’t catch up with Miles because of the fear of what he’d do to him!

It’s another big seal of approval from Books For Men Book Reviews for this one and if I've said it once, I’ll say it again – if you haven’t read a Jeff Abbott book then get yo ass off your seat and go buy one. Now!
