    Aston Villa PL (A) | Man of the Match

    He made two saves, the second of which was because his first could have been better, and one block / tackle. He had no hope with their goal. His pass completion was very good, so his performance was beyond reproach but not sure about MotM. My vote went to Phil who made 7 key passes, which is...

    Aston Villa (A) | PL | Post Match Thread

    Foden made 7 key passes today, I think you will find that is well above David Silva’s average. The best average in the league this season is 2.7 for Ratboy, Phil is joint 2nd with Grealish on 2.4.

    Aston Villa (A) | PL | Post Match Thread

    Folks will whinge and there’s is no doubt games like this show our lack of pace and strength but in truth it was a game of few shots on target, with one decent one for them that went in and one from City cleared of the line plus a City goal disallowed for one of those offsides that shouldn’t be...

    The Album Review Club - Week #191 (page 1286) - Harlequin Dream - Boy & Bear

    "Back in Black" is certainly not AC/DC's best album but it has at least three cracking tracks. I may review their best album one day. "Born to Run" is one of my favourite Bruce albums. "Rumours" is simply exceptional and one of my top 20 favourite albums. Beatles albums are a mixed bag and...

    The Album Review Club - Week #191 (page 1286) - Harlequin Dream - Boy & Bear

    You mention that you can take certain tracks out on a stand alone basis and listen to them individually, which is absolutely the case. I am pretty sure that last time I did a driving holiday in the U.S. (3 years ago), three tracks from the album popped up regularly on classic rock radio...

    “Time After Time” is a great song. I bought the album it’s on in 1983.

    Rock Evolution – The History of Rock & Roll - 1984 - (page 198)

    I have made my selections for 1983. As ever, I have a much longer list of tracks I would include but I have left off the obvious metal, prog and AOR selections. Brian Eno – “An Ending (Ascent)” First up is a track that I don’t associate with 1983. I’m not sure when and where I first heard this...

    Photograph was on my short list. Tubes track wasn’t but should have been. I like all those tracks though.

    I don’t have the ability / flair to write the way you do.

    Yeah, I prefer WYWH, that would have scored 10/10.

    Well that’s just cheating ;-) I was going to offer this up for review at some point but then I reviewed it when I wrote about 1973. Here’s what i wrote in case you didn’t see it. “March witnessed Pink Floyd releasing a genuine contender for the greatest album ever. Now DSOTM is not even my...

    Pep Guardiola - 2025/26

    Exactly, both Gvardiol and Rudolph need game time, for different reasons, to get back to their best form.

    Pep Guardiola - 2025/26

    Arsenal have a deep squad with a lot of players of a similar quality it seems to me but I don’t think they are at the level of the best of the players we have had. Exactly what level a fair few of our players are going to reach is yet to be seen. I think we are currently underrated and that...

    Pep Guardiola - 2025/26

    Pretty sure I crossed swords with him over Pep. Quite how any City fan could dislike Pep is beyond me. Mind you, my approach is to be predisposed to like anyone that manages or plays for City; at least while they are at City.

    Pep Guardiola - 2025/26

    There was a rumour that if Nico and Khus had played any more games last season, additional transfer fees would apply and, by that time, Pep would have been right too think that he could do what he needed to without triggering those additional costs. I have no idea if it is true but it is more...

    Pep Guardiola - 2025/26

    I have had a few differences of opinion with the poster you have quoted there but that is an astonishingly bad take.

    90125 is one of my favourite Yes albums. I love Horn's production on it. The presence of Trevor Rabin on guitar is important; he also played some of the keyboards and co-wrote every track.

    Pep Guardiola - 2025/26

    Not making any great claims for my own opinions but I will stand by the one that a lot of people that post on social medai about football do not have much of a clue but think they do and give the impression of knowing better than Pep. And people often do not seem to learn. Pep is not perfect...

    So very sad when someone is taken at a young age. Condolences to all who knew him.
