PLAGIARISM!

Fred supposedly didn't show up to talk to Spurs so that one looks dead. And as for the Forest game, which I went to, like a pillock: @~#£$%&*

Put those stamps on all the letters!

Yeah, I usually do. Listening to TVOTR do 'Heroes'. Decent fun. Certainly helps me blot out the criminal version that Kasabian (I think) churned out for the Euro 2008 coverage. Dear God.

As far as their best songs go, I think 'Sylvia' has shot up my list in the past couple of months.

A warning - one of the best songs on the new album is the thunderous 'Mama lay softly on the riverbed'. So enjoy that one.

Streets ahead of Blur & Oasis et al. Always were. I might be biased because they're the best thing to come out of Sheffield, but they're pretty much the best band to crack the mainstream over here for about 20 years. Not many bands can top the brilliant run of His 'n' Hers, Different Class, This is Hardcore. Jarvis is an incredible performer, his stage patter is hilarious. Solo album's good too.

When you walk through the garden you gotta watch your back well I beg your pardon walk the straight and narrow track if you walk with Jesus he's gonna save your soul you gotta keep the devil way down in the hole he's got the fire and the fury at his command well you don't have to worry if you hold on to Jesus hand we'll all be safe from Satan when the thunder rolls just gotta help me keep the devil way down in the hole All the angels sing about Jesus' mighty sword and they'll shield you with their wings and keep you close to the lord don't pay heed to temptation for his hands are so cold you gotta help me keep the devil way down in the hole

No particular order, but nothing will ever top Seamonsters, I don't reckon; The Wedding Present - Seamonsters Morrissey - Your Arsenal Guided By Voices - Alien Lanes Pulp - Different Class Tom Waits - Rain Dogs Slint - Spiderland Wire - Pink Flag The Butthole Surfers - Locust Abortion Technician The Stooges - Fun House The Residents - Not Available

Bloody hell fire, this week Robbie Blake has discovered he's the best free kick taker in the world!

Maybe we can get £14m for Leon Clarke...

Cars yet again, most politics, fox hunting, London, most Athletics, The Beatles.

Got Gene: The Collection. Just dire. I'm going to gob all over this and punt it over a rainbow. Certainly makes you appreciate Moz more, witnessing what happens when others try to do it. I know the comparison's obvious, but you're not missing a thing by instantly dismissing these twats. Picked up Brighten The Corners as well, think I prefer Wowee Zowee currently but that may yet change.

A further 'what the fuck?' at Robbie Blake's goal for Burnley. Crikey.

Goodnight Charlton! Now let's see Jeffers get ten this season. Oh, and franchise, what the fuck dude.

Full fackin' English, squire.

I find GnR less tolerable than more 'stupid' hair metal. They may have been nearer 'straight-up rock' (whatever people mean by that) but they still took themselves far too seriously. Waste of time trying to separate them from the genre entirely. They were essentially the next step upwards.

The Used doing 'Burning Down the House'? I'm sure it's unlistenable, but I'm trying to work out how that band would even approach that.

We've got a couple of wolves rejects (Gray and Potter) on board. Nothing against either one really. Anyone who can play in midfield to any degree is IN. The new chairman has reduced tickets to a tenner for the charlton game to get some fans back. A good move. Lose that one and we'll be candidates for relegation, seriously.

I end up rocking along to 'The True Wheel' on the walk to work quite often.

Iron Man was ok, but oscar worthy? Come on. I like Downey well enough, but he should aiming to be involved with far better pictures now he's back on the A-list.

Been waiting what seems like forever for the studio version of 'Something is Squeezing My Skull'. Great opener. I think he might have shot himself in the foot releasing 'I'm Throwing My Arms Around Paris' as the first single (not an actively bad song, but not great or really reflective of the largely up-tempo album) and including both 'new' tracks off the Greatest Hits though.

I'm seeing him in May. I don't think he'll top the last time I saw him live, early last year, but his current band are great.

Quick, turn round Clough's taxi and hire whoever your caretaker was tonight! In the absence of a cricket thread here, I'll also say this to the ECB: You absolute, cast-iron Pillocks.

The reunion album sucked, the reunion shows were great. The Glastonbury performance was the most fun I had that year. God Speed.

Missed daylight completely on Jan 1st, came downstairs around 5:00pm to find my housemates engrossed in trivial pursuit, wrestled the questions off them demanding to be involved and proceeded to read them with the eloquent delivery of a dying dalek.
