And it isn’t, of course, the first time he has done something like this. He is a repeat offender. A man who could pass a football through the holes in a cheese grater.

6. The actual, successful killing of John Wick
7. An eventual resolution to several of the world’s ongoing international conflicts
8. Donald Trump’s magic wall to keep out immigrants (although he would refuse to assist with this as a matter of principle)
9. More goals
10. The zipping up of Arsene Wenger’s giant Arsenal coat
11. A genuinely good, successful movie adaptation of a video game. Possibly Portal, maybe Metal Gear Solid
