The Decemberists

1-1 home to Blackpool. Pissed all over them in the first 15 minutes, hit the woodwork twice, they scored a lucky free kick and we totally fell apart. Sneeked a equaliser from a late corner. We got booed of at the end, which I thought was harsh. That's four games unbeaten and it's a good sign to play crap but still not lose I'd imagine.

Holy shit! Roddy Piper!??!?!?!?!?

They *need* to get Spike! to start showing the wrestler videos during Raws commercials.

Congratulations on being an idiot. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Dalliance is one of the greatest songs of all time, but I just don't like the production of the album. Half the time you can't hear the songs because of the production. The other stuff he's done with Albini (or whatever his name is) is much better, i.e. Cinerama's Torino because it's more music and less noise.

Who the hell is Lazortron (or something like that) in the 1987 Crockett Cup? He's described as the "world junior champion" at one point, but I've no idea how serious I should take that description. I've had a quick look on OWW but can't seem to find him anywhere.

Good man. There's a lot of potential on MWSTW, but it's just drowned out by noise. The version of Width of a Circle on Bowie At The Beeb is excellent, but the album version... urgh. I can't sleep so I'm doing some more, Best: Worst: Best: Worst: Best: Worst: Best: Worst: Best: Worst:

I am not liking "Deadly"... Might just be that I've so used to them being the Dudleys, but it really doesn't sound right. Having said that it's not as if I could've thought of anything better. Yay for signing Aries though

Eric Matthews - Becomes Dark Blue

I was going to shout at you, but then I saw you're ignoring everything after LD. But even then, Young Americans is a bloody good album... The Man Who Sold The World, however, is very poor - title track excepted - and I'd have put that as the worst. Unless you just don't like the faux soul sound he was going for on Americans, then I guess it's fair enough. And of course there's all the pre-Space Oddity stuff which might be acceptable for worst if the Dream compliation counts as a 'proper' album. Anyway Best Worst Best Worst Best Worst Best Worst

We got a very good 1-1 away at Swansea today, despite a shocking referee. We had a cast iron penalty turned down when Commons was just pushed over when he was running onto the ball inside the area by a defender running away from the ball just to push him, plus they should've had their center forward sent off for kicking Wes Morgan off the ball and he only got booked, and Jack Lester should probably have been sent off for use of the elbow but the ref got that wrong too. That's three goals in as many games now for Lester since he's came back from eight months of a cruiate ligament injury.

Smoking Popes - Stars (live)

Best: Worst: Best: Worst: Best: Worst: Best: Worst: I'll probably do some more later should I get bored.

My current tone is 'Now My Heart Is Full' by Morrissey, but I also have; There Is A Light That Never Goes Out - The Smiths I Have Forgiven Jesus - Morrissey Let Me Kiss You - Morrissey First of the Gang to Die - Morrissey Irish Blood, English Heart - Morrissey Good Vibrations - Beach Boys Breathe - Pink Floyd Quantum Leap theme Please Mr Postman - Beatles Mull of Kyntire - Macca I would like some Smoking Pope ones, but I'm struggling to find any.

Frankly, you must just be rubbish as I've never had any of those problems... Just won another League, Cup and Champions League (I forget what they call it) treble on Level 6. I'm not sure how, but I always seem to manage some sort of zen mastery with the games just before the new one comes out. Perfect

Forest have no assistant manager on the demo, and when i ran an advert for it, I got people like Ruud Guillit and Claudio Ranieri applying. Which would've been great if they'd then wanted to join when i tried to offer a contract.

Bridges came on for the last 15 minutes or so, and didn't impress me at all. Looked very week and didn't seem up for any sort of physical battle. Your best midfeilder was Murray, who made some dangerous runs down the right, and then got subbed. At some point you brought someone one who's name I forget at the moment who seemed to be a decent holding midfeilder, I think it might have been Cotterill, and he managed to slow down our midfeilders getting into spaces and was able to intercept some of Lesters and Johnno's flicks. By the way, our match day magazine thing does a all time team for whoever we're playing, our Bristol City Dream Team was, Mike Gibson Gerry Sweeny Geoff Merrick Gerry Gow Gary Collier Norman Hunter Trevor Tainton John Atyeo Andy Cole Chris Garland Clive Whitehead Does that seem a reasonable selection, or have we just randomly picked players and decided that'll do?

You were the best team I've seen this year. Had the ball on the floor, passed it round well etc. Stewart is the best (non-Forest) player in this divison by miles, the big problem is that none of your other players seem to be on his wavelength so a lot of his runs and through ball don't work out as well as they should. Still, 3-1! Ha! Jack Lester's completely transformed our season. He's just so much better than everyone else we have at holding the ball up and getting others into the game, plus he creates so much, and, perhaps best of all, he's the best diver in the football league!

Considering TNA do tend to take notice of what the internet fans think and want, e.g. bringing in ROH talent, pushing X Division matches as PPV main events etc, surely JJ won't be champ for *that* long will he?

It was always obvious that he had buckets of ability, and he scored some cracking long range goals, but his committment to the cause was non existant. He was on a hiding to nothing in the first place as he was signed to replace Marlon Harewood (only King cost us twice as much money as we got for Marlon) who, despite not always showing his ability, gave everything he had for the club - apart from his last few games when he'd pretty much sorted out his West Ham transfer anyway. £500,000 or so would do for me, plus it gets his £8,500 a week off the wage bill. We signed Hoult from West Brom the other day, which was a bit of a surprise. It's only on loan for a month because all three of our keepers are injured, but it's a quality signing. We might get our first clean sheet sheet of the season against Rotherham tomorrow! Megson's came out this week and admitted that his management techniques he used at West Brom aren't working here, so he's going to try some different ways. Considering his whole managment abilites seem to consist of shouting and swearing at the player, it'll be interesting to see what happens now he's stopped. Could go bottom on Saturday, and with Notts top of League Two at the minute there could be a very worrying 0 number of teams between us...

Fuck....

I've brought the "Pretend Everythings Alright" banner out of retirement due to our current woes. We nearly got rid of Taylor to Sheff Utd, but they got some guy from Pompy instead so we have to keep him I've nothing against Super Gaz in particular like most of the fans have, but getting shot of him would've been for the best just as it would give the ground a better atmosphere as the boo boys would take a couple of weeks to find a new target....

Nothing to be my knowledge apart from (eventually) being kicked out of ROH. He's still running RF Video though. It really makes me uncomfortable on the old ROH releases when they plug RF or when he's on screen, don't know why but it does.

If they a) had a two hour show, and b) actually brought in really good women wrestlers then it could be worth doing. If they're going to have one, they have to make it different to what passes as the WWE Womens division. TNA's would have to be hard hitting, competitive wrestling that just happens to be done by women rather than men, rather than an excuse to get some flesh on the screen.

You should try, y'know, actually going to games

One of the "in the know" people, who gets about 75% of his stuff right, on one of the Forest sites is already claiming that Paul Hart is in the frame for your job. Considering you're guy only quit a few hours ago I'm not exactly inclined to believe him though.
