Absolutely, I'd keep this lad in on the strength of his batting even if he proves to be shite behind the stumps.

See, I bought their first album and found that I just couldn't get into it. I find it very off-putting when I hear a drummer that thinks that the art of drumming is to knock feck out of his kit and to strike every component part of it per bar.

nice person! :D

I feel that I've done myself down though by telling everyone that I know about how good they are, burning copies of Funeral for people without them asking, and that sort of thing. Hey ho! :oops:

I think it's fair to point out also though, that many of us on here that took both the time and trouble to answer Blurred's questionairre on here earlier in the season received an absolute torrent of abuse for giving our honest opinion that Liverpool wouldn't actually win anything this season, which...

I refuse to watch any band at The MEN now as a point of principle. I suppose that that pisses me off all the more that I couldn't get tickets for Arcade Fire at The Apollo, as you just know next time that they tour they're going to do The MEN. Still, I did get to see Radiohead play The Academy and t...

Best: Well that's a dead heat between scoring a late winner in the 1977 BEN Cup semi-final for High Lawn against Brandwood St, and chipping straight in from around 30 metres on the the 3rd at Gleneagles. :D Worst: Springing a collarbone after a mid-air collision going up for a header away at Euxton ...

You can't have it both ways mate. If they only went for the atmosphere, as you claim, then what were they doing at the stadium in the first place? Complain about the organisation if you will, but don't try to justify the actions that caused it at the same time. Exactly. Me and a crew of mates went ...

Of course there is some blame to be laid at our feet. Only some? Honestly mate, I've read as much of your hypocritical shite as I possibly can. "I'm outraged that genuine ticket holders couldn't get in, that'll be because the likes of me assisted two ticketless types to get in. Justice for the 90 o...

I used to do business with a former Mansfield Chairman. One of the many tales he told me about his time there was about the availibility of a young goalkeeper in, lets say, the Nottinghamshire area. Actually, balls to it, FourFourTwo did a peice on this stuff only last month. Right, Mansfield need a...

Interesting that his 'fans should be the owners of the club' stance that he took when trying to buy Liverpool for well under the market value doesn't hold any water when he gets offered a nice, cheap investment. Indeed, and if you were Chairman of a multiple retail chain on the look-out for land, w...

Big Country - Live at The Barras! (That's Glasgow Barrowlands for the uninitiated, a venue on par with Manchester's Academy, if not better!) RIP, Stuart. Thanks for those gigs.

I amble into the bathroom, where I am greeted with a toilet decorated with remnants of whatever I've eaten painted purple and smelling worse than me.
