Inevitable after his training ground scrap with Connor, wish him all the best, he made a real effort to understand the area and people.

Is this common knowledge??

All the best to him - took the time to learn about and respect the town and club.

Stuggart fans seem to rate him as a squad player but they think they have our pants down for the fee.
Their manager is heavily focusing on youth which explains his involvement there.
He's probably a bit better than Anthony.

They think they’ve had our pants down for a fee of €4m??

Please can someone explain what has or hasn't happened? ELO cancelled tonight’s gig at the very last minute. Jeff Lynne had been struggling with an injury sustained a few days ago and couldn’t play the guitar properly last night. Probably a step too far for somebody pushing 80 to perform tonight to...

No I'm not being stupid at all. I'm making a point that people went to hear the band and we're not distracted by social media crap we now have. And yes I'm well aware of when the mobile phone was invented. I wouldn't say most are 'distracted' - people just want to film a significant moment in their...

The fact there was only one track (ok, two if you include ****** in the Bushes) from a post Be Here Now album tells you everything you need to know about what they think of their later output. Which is a shame, because songs like The Importance of Being Idle, Gas Panic, I''m Outta Time and Falling D...

Wasn't he quite a decent player at Swansea? Main issue seemed to be that he’d had some run ins with Russell Martin, the manager at the time. Sometimes a signing doesn’t work out.

They had the two Kyles at the back didn’t they? Can’t remember who the other one was?

Naughton. Currently at Swansea.

Simply devastating news. A top footballer, who I loved watching play, and somebody who came across as a humble family man.

RIP Diogo and Andre

I couldn't hear that (Keith in Firestarter) - must have been well down in the mix. The song's so well known they don't need the vocals to be honest, people just fill it in in their head. Yeah, should clarify, there's only Keith's vocal excerpts when they're showing the big light tribute to him duri...

Does someone else do vocals for the songs that Keith Flint used to lead sing on or do they just do other songs?

Maxim fills in with the vocals. Though they kept Keith’s original vocals in on Firestarter as a tribute.

Swizzlestick

Great set but Out of Space deserves more than a minute or whatever that was! That was my only criticism really - thought they moved on a bit too quick from Firestarter and No Good (Start the Dance) too. They undeniably know how to put on a show though and you’re guaranteed a great time.

Swizzlestick

Trying to process the fact Maxim is 58 years old.

Swizzlestick

Surprised there hasn’t been a mention for the 1975 yet. Matty Healy is a deliberately provocative and arrogant frontman, and will definitely divide taste, but thought their set was actually very good. Raye has a great voice, but none of the tunes really hit like you want them to. Ends up coming acr...

I've just realised (without being surprised) that nothing ever came of Alastair Campbell's son tweeting that Tella is a done deal. What does he get out of doing that? Surely it just reflects badly on his dad? (And I'm aware of his dad's association with things that aren't quite true, before anyone ...

That's a feeble excuse. If you're good enough, you don't need guests and gimmicks.

It’s not an excuse - I’m just saying a solo headliner set can be improved with a few guests especially considering a number of her tracks are duets. A good number of headliners have done it.

How do you know?

Well it was from his official account, so I think that’s pretty concrete. His account could have been hacked I guess, but it’s a stretch.

The Nick Pope comment was legit.

A bit of a potty mouth, isn't she?

I think she’s overcompensating for being from Cambridge.

The slower tracks have sounded better in this set I think. It’s a shame she hasn’t had any guests because it’s difficult for a solo act to headline just on their own.

Swizzlestick

I like Charli xcx but this is all very going through the motions so far. Some heavy lip synching too. Shame Lorde couldn’t stick around for the duet.

Swizzlestick

Ezra Collective fantastic on the Other Stage right now

The main football reporter for NUFC is basically saying the Trafford deal is done.

I’m afraid I don’t really get Self Esteem.

Don’t mind The 1975, but Christ he’s hard work.

Biffy Clyro and Franz Ferdinand were both good value and I’ll probably catch Busta Rhymes’ set later.

Swizzlestick

It was on a post with all his fitness work. It’s only the Marcus Edwards ‘writing emoji’ comment that has everyone speculating. Seems highly likely that is a reference to the keyboard warriors who enjoy having an unfair pop, rather than a mew contract (unless it is with someone else). Probably not ...

Frank was appointed in the Championship with a strong team at that level though. He’d also managed previously in Denmark. This seems much riskier - big players leaving, including the captain, and bringing in a guy with zero managerial experience, who wasn’t even assistant last season.

Even when he was a huge part of one of the most successful Championship teams of all time and the best defence in the Championship in 22/23?

Nowhere near the club seems ….. a stretch?

He was also in the PFA team of the year but sensationalism is the order of the day for some.

The logo is very garish, but they are very well known here in Preston and have done really well for themselves using social media as a powerful marketing tool. The queues go round the block on a weekend and they have huge numbers when it comes to that buzzword ‘engagement’. They come across really w...

Music videos were once a proper ‘event’ and were often given as much credence as the song, culminating in the high point of the mid/late 90’s to early 00’s. Unfortunately the changing musical landscape has made them if not redundant, then certainly less important. Some of the very best were Aphex Tw...

I wondered where this had gone! Is the Scotland one still knocking about?

Genuinely have no clue what happened to that one unfortunately. Playlists messed up after one of the updates so must have got lost in the ether.

‘Ironic’ reminds me of sticking Atlantic 252 on the radio and it always seeming to be on. That and ‘74/75’ by The Connells. Going slightly off topic, but I did an Atlantic 252 Spotify playlist for anybody bothered - 74/75 is in there lol https://open.spotify.com/playlist/44JJ3HlDEKPrR4J4fhCWjc?si=6...

Swizzlestick

Great record. ‘You Learn’ is my favourite.

Swizzlestick

Tella started over half of the games for Leverkusen last season, which is pretty impressive when you consider some of the attacking quality they have at their disposal. Anyway, ship has sailed - you’d think Ten Haag will certainly want to at least take a look at him now.

Swizzlestick

Not sure about Frank being better to stay put at Brentford. Lost Toney last year, looks like they’re about to lose Mbuemo to a team that finished five places below them. Tottenham massively underperformed in the league considering the players and budget they have.

Wonder if we do much due diligence on clubs we sell to. In hindsight, it's a big fee from a Brazilian club for any player, nevermind one as average as Vitinho.

They have a billionaire owner. Same guy who co-owns Palace. It’s not Big Steve down the pub.

Of course it cuts it. Refereeing mistakes have always happened. Villa benefitted from a piece of monumental luck to help them stay up a few years back, it happens - https://www.bbc.co.uk/newsround/53078033.amp

Villa sailing close to breaking PSR is the fault of Villa only.

A case study in the pitfalls of having a fan as a manager. Classless behaviour after the derby win, committed the cardinal sin of digging out the away support after the defeat at Oxford and generally gave the impression he was feeling it at the end of season, including the bizarre insistence of incl...

It was like watching us beat Liverpool in the PL but Spurs don't have the excuse of a gulf in resources. I've never seen so little endeavour from a winning team in a cup final. Sure, call Man U out for not being good enough but, in terms of it being a spectacle, at least they tried. Slightly bizarr...

Fantastic manager for us, his place in our history assured, but he’s hard work in these appearances. He’s becoming almost a parody of himself. I don’t know why he keeps repeating the Heaton thing.

Swizzlestick

I wouldn't mind, but Eddie Howe hardly seems like a manager who craves the limelight (unlike his assistant, but that's another story...). I agree this is becoming an increasingly cynical and negative board. Thought it was a lovely piece and he looked genuinely emotional in it - I imagine it knocked ...

Brexit has a long storied history of hearing things ‘in corporate’ that turn out to be utter nonsense. I think the only things he hears are the voices in his head.

They were staring down the barrel today but fair enough managed to do the business right at the very end. Still lots of resentment at the board amongst their fans, unsurprisingly Peter Ridsdale getting the brunt of it. Still an uncertain summer ahead - their player of the season is going back to Vil...

It was a bit strange at first, but all good fun and obviously well received by the squad if the dressing room clips are anything to go by.

Tresor being booed was so poor, I just don’t know what goes through the heads of some of our fans.

Ipswich signed Delap from City but he had only been in the Championship on loan. Indeed he didn’t exactly set the world alight in those loan spells - very average at Stoke and PNE, decent at Hull, so sometimes you just have to take the punt.

Ronnie enjoys missing easy shots on purpose so he can have a little whinge afterwards. He gets more out of it than playing well and winning. Some of his missed this week have been a joke.

Ronnie's whining can be irritating but I highly doubt a seven time WC winner is missing shots on purpose.
