It's also the last day of the football season, so I'm hoping I'll be celebrating a league championship as well as 28 years of Matt | ||
| Cassiel Unregistered guest |
Your typing skills let you down again, Peter. YOu missed the word 'buying' between the words 'celebrating' and 'a'! | ||
| Pádraig Collins Unregistered guest |
Peter, I do hope that Chelsea win (seeing as Liverpool won't) - if only to expand the Premiership winners' gene pool. | ||
| Roman Abramovich Unregistered guest |
Another debate, Cassiel, but I guess no one's ever spent lots of money on players before. Since the last one the Blues won was way before I was born, I'll take it, whatever your cavills. | ||

I hope with all sincerity that the scum are deducted 15 points over the Ashley Cole fiasco and are forced to give up the ground for Age Concern and give some real pensioners heating during the long winter months. | ||

Having aired my sporting grievance I'd like to add that I am very much looking forward to the new album + the "official" Barbican songs. But why so few from such a blinding show? It feels like we're being teased. | ||

I can't understand it either Jerry. Especially in this new DVD age. My only consolation is that they HAVE seen fit to include The Wrong Road amongst the few. | ||
| Nic Barnard Unregistered guest |
Impressively honest too, given how GW totally messed up the lyrics halfway through... | ||
| Pádraig Collins Unregistered guest |
And of course Man U, Arsenal and Blackburn all won the Premiership with sqads entirely made up of local boys who had come up through the ranks ... | ||

My problems with the scum are long-standing and varied. I hated them just as much when they were in the old 2nd division, with a lop-sided ground and not enough floodlights. I saw them play in the mid 80's when I was 13 or so years old and back then there was a no-concession fixed price for "the shed" of £5, I assume this over-pricing was designed to pay for the electric fences. The whole club has and always will be awash with tories. In what is meant to be the national sport for our country and the only working class sport, I hate to think how much ground entry is now. I used to joke that in order to keep crowds there they'll have to put in under seat heating, well I was close to being spot on with that one. TBC | ||

And your allegiance Jerry? There are plenty of football grounds awash with Tories all over the UK. Our problem used to be that the ground was awash with fascists. Myself, I tried to do something about it by editing a fanzine from the late 80s aimed at combating racism. I know it had an effect, and I know from running it that your jaundiced view of Chelsea fans is a terrible slander - I know tories, labourists, lib-dems, communists, anarchists and the politically unaligned or uninterested who follow the same club. Consider that we had one of the first black managers in the country, and the first to take a club to the cup final: I'm as proud of that as I am ashamed of some supporters' links with the NF in the 1970s. We campaigned on pricing too, to less effect, but you can't have everything. Should I change my allegiance on that basis? Sorry to go on. We should really be talking about the Gobs. My fault for mentioning it in the first place, even if it was only an aside. | ||

Did anyone see a shockingly dishevelled looking Kevin Keegan being interviewed after yesterday's match? The BBC Interviewer (by the way, am I alone in finding their coverage increasingly annoying?) asked our Kev if he thought United could catch Chelsea. Naturally, Keegan smiled before responding in the affirmative. | ||

I’m QPR. By tories I was referring to the middle class jump on the football bandwagon brigade. Never mentioned racism, it would be tasteless and a touch hypocritical to single out your club alone with this problem. If you can’t take such criticism on this subject then, please don’t bring the subject up. Something snaps inside me every time sport and the C-word are used in the same sentence, especially when the only sport seems to be monopolisation. At least Man U & Arsenal have provided good players for England in recent years. C’s contribution is to buy up existing internationals and then leave them on the bench. | ||

I concur with Jerry's complaint about the small selection of numbers from the Barbican show. I would love to hear The Sound of Rain again and I liked the version of Your Turn My Turn they did there. Sorry, no opinion about sports; I come from the wimpy skinny music geek tradition. If you throw a ball at me, I'm going to get out of the way. | ||

Jerry, I can take criticism, just not unfounded criticism such as yours. I might have guessed you followed the 'superhoops', the furry dice on the rear view mirror of football. Seems to me your view might just be dictated just a smidgeon by your own allegiance. The only time I've had personal experience of thuggery at football was at QPR was when some stupid little prat smacked me in the face for no reason - I think his brave stance was helped by the fact that his six foot six mate was standing behind him. I took the wimpish way out and ran. I wouldn't dream, however, of generalising and suggesting that all QPR fans are cowardly thugs. Is that the Arsenal, by the way, that put out a whole squad - not just a team, a whole squad - of foreigners last night? For whom two English players have scored goals in nigh on two years? Hmmm. | ||

| C Gull Unregistered guest |
Psycho Go to http://www.ticketweb.co.uk/ - bought mine this morning. | ||
| psycho Unregistered guest |
Thanks C, ordered mine as well; will one be allowed to 'freak out' in the stalls a la Ambassador in Dublin in 2003?? (couldn't get tickets for the floor area for the Empire...all gone apparently) | ||
| C Gull Unregistered guest |
I think the floor area and the stalls are one and the same, so I expect to see you living up to your moniker. No freaking out was of course a booking condition at the Barbican wasn't it? | ||
| psycho Unregistered guest |
I'll certainly be doin that, though last year went to Vicar St. gig instead of Barbican... I'll be heading to the Aussie(?) pub next the the Empire for a few beforehand with my buddy..jus to get into the swing of things | ||
