Psycho has dusted off his sparring gloves and says "I'm fat, I'm over forty, and I haven't been in a boxing ring for fifteen years, but I'm ready to fight Ryan Rhodes. And he won't even have to pay me!"

[Final round]

Superman over Batman? Gtfo Batman could kill Superman
Blur have made some wicked songs so don't be influenced by a poor performance on the Shit Awards performance utter bollocks that show, smash hits live. Although I do prefer Oasis in general.
