    Who else is Wembleyed out?

    Trains are expensive and also they've been on strike at times. If you stay over, hotels are expensive. Food and beer are expensive too down there. Driving to London from Manchester is generally a 4+ hour drive and parking is expensive. It's a looong drive back too. It's not the distance, it's...

    Who will win euro 2024

    Spot on as usual! If any other nation had reached the finals of the Euros and the semis of the World Cup, there'd be plenty touting them in here as the winners! The simple, indisputable fact is that Southgate is the most successful manager we've had since Sir Alf. You can debate it all you...

    Vinicius Junior

    If he's available, we should be on the phone to Madrid as he is a brilliant player. Rapid, great feet, tricky, scores and picks out a pass. He is a genuine world class player and still very young. He's probably the player at Real who I fear the most, he's got that aura about him where you know...

    Who else is Wembleyed out?

    The problem with Wembley is the semi-finals are played there. In effect, it's lost its appeal as we normally play there more than we do at Anfield, Old Trafford and the Emirates! I really believe that Wembley should be for the England team and the FA and League Cup finals - no other football...

    Arsenal (H) - Sun 31st Mar, 16:30 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

    Arsenal are a good side and they've improved since last season and full credit to Arteta for that and Rice looks like a great signing. I didn't think that would be the case, so hats off to them both. If we don't win the league, I would rather Arsenal did it than Liverpool as there's a few...

    Who will win euro 2024

    France for me, they've just got some great players and the experience. An outsider could be Portugal who've some very decent players. I don't understand why people are writing England off though, we've been to the final of the Euros and semis of the World Cup with the current manager and, if...

    The Album Review Club - Week #116 - (page 1381) - You're Never Alone with a Schizophrenic - Ian Hunter

    I would agree with this totally and I think they would be great live as you can feel the energy. Some bands are better live than recorded!

    The Album Review Club - Week #116 - (page 1381) - You're Never Alone with a Schizophrenic - Ian Hunter

    Hah maybe it's my set up Rob ! :( Yeah maybe Timmy might be the wrong word I guess but maybe "middle heavy" might be more accurate but I prefer more bass and treble. I will have to tell the wife we need a better music setup now haha!

    The Album Review Club - Week #116 - (page 1381) - You're Never Alone with a Schizophrenic - Ian Hunter

    I'd not heard of these before and it's always nice to listen to something new. When I listened to the album, I found myself thinking that a lot of the songs reminded me of other bands. I think it was mainly the guitar/drums/production that did it. For some reason I was getting a ZZ-Top feel...

    PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

    Regardless of what the rules are and who's broken them, there is also a critical point here which is being missed. Quite simply, the magic of football is being killed. That last minute winner to keep you up might not do any more. At any point, a rule that's broken for whatever reason can push...

    Are The Beatles and Queen overrated?

    Haha! I love that Simple Minds story :D Anyway, they definitely weren't comparable to the likes of Bieber or Swift. It's hard to listen from the past and hear it today as if it's written today. She Loves You is about 60 years old which is a relic in terms of pop/rock music. There's a couple of...

    Are The Beatles and Queen overrated?

    Which bandwagons did they jump on? I would say that they forged the path, especially with their work on making the studio as the primary way to make music. Again, read the quotes in the link I posted and their peers say they were ahead of everyone else in terms of creativity so that doesn't...

    Are The Beatles and Queen overrated?

    Genuine question this: have you ever listened to much Beatles music? The variety of styles is something that defined them, they were able to move from pop songs like She Loves You to ballads like Yesterday and Here, There and Everywhere to proto-hard-rock like Helter Skelter to psychedelic...

    Are The Beatles and Queen overrated?

    I'm not sure it's ironic. I said The Beatles are one of the 20th Centuries greatest musicians and gave you reasons why. I put the link there so you can read what people like Bob Dylan, Ozzy Osborne (Black Sabbath), Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin), Brian Wilson (Beach Boys), Tom Petty, Joe Walsh...

    Liverpool (A) | PL | Post Match Thread

    Liverpool away is probably the only game I dread in the season. Our work HQ is there and they like to dish it out ha ha! At least I'm ready for it tomorrow though to tell them they were celebrating the World Cup win at home with a draw against us! :) When I've been over with City it's just not...
