PLAGIARISM!

Aye. Ah well, at this stage last season we hadn't won a game. Can we have some money?

I wish I were dead. We're 6-0 down after an hour. Can we have some money?

Sustained! Watched that with a blades fan, said it was the worst performance since Robson. And they were terrible under that pillock. Course, that was only about 10 games ago...thought there would have been a mass suicide pact from the Derby lot when that penalty got overturned...

Ashley's statement lent him a fair bit of credit I thought. He's always been an obvious fraud as far as the 'one of the fans' image goes though, he's a Spurs fan for a start. Good win for us on sat, but more significant is our lowest home attendance for 6 years, ticket prices are just appalling these days....

Ha, I couldn't be fucked with going to the pub to watch it on setantwat. Maybe if I never watch England again we'll win the world cup. I'm perfectly happy to do that. Anyway, to more pressing issues, Watford on saturday. Recently they've been one of those bastard teams who turn up to our place, play like a bunch of soiled tampax and fuck off with three points somehow. Hooray.

Yeah, Pulp were the best of the lot. Anyone who disagrees will be branded 'young'.

I support the fashion thread! Nice piece up there, btw.

Poyet is inexperienced but he was, methinks, the brains behind Wise's success with Leeds, almost as soon as he'd been poached by spurs Wise was looking for ways out of management, and cracks began to appear in the team. He took a do-nothing job with a fat salary that was so laughably vague in its remit he pretty much ensured he wouldn't get blamed for stuff going wrong. Until now, of course. Money in football is now sickening and obscene obv, but as for Man City, they deserve it more than Chelsea. They were regularly getting crowds of 30,000 plus in the third tier of the league whilst their closest neighbours were the biggest club in the country. Chelsea's fans don't compare to that.

I like the Pastels. And the Belle and Sebastian songs that aren't shite.

I can understand why you don't like them, but they bought you Torres, didn't they? I'm surprised more criticism isn't directed at Benitez in general. There are games, like today, where he just seems to get it fundamentally wrong. Figures like Hicks and Gillett are only a new thing on account of nationality, characters like that have been in football since before the premier league started.

I'm about to use it as a foothold into teaching, for the same reason.

Did we ever discuss Sparks' 70s output, Colonel K?

As far as GBV goes, 'Hold on Hope' and 'I Am a Tree' can fuck off. I can't get behind 'Optical Hopscotch' either. I think we covered this once before.

Is Jewell at 'death threats' level yet Franchise? From the sound of the performances, that isn't far off. I think he'll jump soon, before he's pushed.

There's a handful of Morrissey songs I hate, I always detested 'Lucky Lisp' for some reason. And 'Instant Weight Loss' by Sparks. I think both artists have written worse songs, but I'm such a big fan of the albums those are included on that it magnifies the hate.

I've joined the fantasy league. For those who didn't notice, we lost 4-1 this week, fuck life.

I really like 'Tired of Sex'.

Well we tonked Burnley, leading to wry talk of this being our year et al, then it turns out Sodje (who played 20 mins, got 2 goals and an assist and was named in the team of the week) has another month-long injury. Considering how much of a panic buy he appeared to be at first, I can't overstate how massive he is for our side these days. Without him, we trundled along happily against Rotherham and fucked it up in the last minute of extra time before losing on penalties. Great.

We've won all our pre-season games so far, last season we were all getting sent off in Holland then coming home to be stuffed by Port Vale, who ended up being practically the worst team in the country last season. I'm still not optimistic till there's investment, but Sodje makes a huge difference and he got through 90 mins last nite, setting up 2 for Burton. I'll warn you that Hulse doesn't seem to be half the player he was before he broke his foot, franchise. (coming from Blades fans)

'Spring Heeled Jim' Smith seems to rate himself pretty highly and he's signed on loan. If he can take corners, then that's smashing. We haven't yet been taken over, and the shittier teams in this division are all signing players.

I'm still loving Neon Neon's Stainless Style. That's heading up my list this year.

Best Glastonbury in years. Leonard Cohen....fuck More details after I've had some sleep

This tourney has been effing brilliant.

Those two are pretty much the best there is, I guess I'll bite the bullet.

That's pretty much true. In an ideal world, he'll get more experimental for a while then be ready for another 'classic sound' AWK album down the line.
