I think you're right in this. I've thought for a while that Brighton, Brentford, Palace and Bournemouth are so well run now that their manager almost doesn't matter. Whoever they sell, the replacement comes in and improves them. The managers change but they stay up. They can get some results...

That's a great album that and o ly had it on a couple of weeks ago. I love how "innocent" it sounds and also how psychedelic it is - it still sounds new to this day! As I said about Fatboy Slim, it's hard to describe how these sounds sounded when they first came out - it was groundbreaking...

Next nomination is from a guy who went from writing nice pop/indie songs into being a dance legend. Some people just have an ear for melodies and grooves and this guy has - practically everything he does sounds incredible. Norman Cook from The Housemartins to become Fatboy Slim land went full...

When I first heard this song it was another that I couldn't tell if it was a joke or not. It sounded so completely different to anything else that year. I bought the album as it was on offer and CD singles were still relatively pricey back then. What a great purchase, it's one of my all time...

I was maybe too young to remember 1983 fully, but I don't think this era compares to that one. Firstly, the club is run incredibly well. There's simply no way that the board haven't been planning for this - they clearly have with the Maresca leaks. The club has youth teams set up to play the...

Bit of a strange game really - neither team had anything riding on it and I felt that Villa might've been hungover from their win mid-week. Of course, with Pep, Stones and Bernardo going it did have a huge emotional aspect to it as well and I'm sure that affected everyone at the club. When I...

I've always felt Maresca will be like the Pellegrini appointment - he's not who we really want, but will be a safe pair of hands until our man is available. I suspect the club are looking at PSG and Bayern and waiting to see what happens there. Kompany coming back would be incredible, but I...

Had a listen to this and to be honest, I couldn't really tell when one song ended and another started. I've always felt these 'heavy rock/nu metal' type bands just lack any variation - it's the same sound played slightly differently on every track on every album! I know that might be sound like...

I'm a bit surprised some people don't rate Semenyo - he's scored some big goals for us I thought and has played a pretty big part in us challenging for the title. I totally get at times he's not looked great, but to me he feels like one of those players who works hard and scores even when he's...

It goes without saying he will be remembered as a GIANT of City and his trophy haul is incredible. His legacy on English football is incalculable. Every team from top of the grassroots bottom plays out from the back. Every player has to be good on the ball and possession is the key. The days of...

Totally agree - was out in Liverpool with the Scouser a tonight and we both were saying he'd be a good appointment for either team To take Bournemouth to a potential CL spot is incredible.

The best team always win the league. We were not good enough this season. Sad but true.

I get the feeling that he's more of a caretaker appointment than the long term answer. I'm a bit underwhelmed but completely trust the club they've done their homework. I can imagine Maresca being a safe pair of hands and knows the systems. He's not likely to disrupt anything. Maybe when the...

Ok Computer is the absolute stand out in this year. In my mind, there's 3 great rock concept albums that are timeless: Sgt Pepper, Dark Side of the Moon and finally Ok Computer. Of all the incredible tracks on that album, Fitter Happier just seems to have predicted the future and there's a lot...

Dead right mate - Palace can be a very hard team to play against when they get going. They will pack the defence and make it hard to get a shot in and they are great on the break. I wouldn't fancy playing them away. All we've got to do is take it to the last game and anything can happen!!
