So here we are final week of Round 3 and quality here will set us up well for what's to come. There are some stunning ties here and a proper local derby to really add some flavour - I was so chuffed when this one was drawn as it's a right good tie (you'll only have to wait until Tuesday...). Round 4 will be coming soon (Monday next week I imagine!) and it's going to start to get super tough... or tougher at least!

Last day of Round 3 might not have the high level draws we've seen in some ties this round but they do make for interesting match-ups all the same. Missionary Man, always a bit of a favourite of mine had to fight to get past the original Mean Arena. While Freaks simply spat in the face of Corps, having done for Movie dredd in Round 1. So does the form book make Freaks the favourite? We'll see how that pans put...

When I die, I want to die like my grandfather who died peacefully in his sleep. Not screaming like all the passengers in his car.

Old age is the Lord's way of telling us to step aside for something new. Death's in case we didn't take the hint.

I really, really, need to reread Freaks. I haven't since it was in the prog, and I feel I'm missing something.

But in lieu of that, Missionary Man.

It's a meeting of mid-table mediocrities here for me. There are nuggets of greatness in both, but mostly they grind along through their premises and don't leave me with much except that I'm glad mullets are out and glad that Rennie & Quitely had a chance to prove themselves.

I suppose on the grounds that Freaks basically got worse at it went on (Faces is... not great), and Missionary Man largely got better, I'll vote for Missionary Man.
