He's just playing possum. Landycakes is gonna light you up in South Africa.

Maybe...all I can say is that he lit up my living room today.

Now I know why you yanks love Landon Donavon. Quality miss today against Spurs. Laug h out loud stuff.

http://andersonlibrary.files.wordpress.com/2009/06/elvis-costello-secret-profane-and-sugarcane.jpg First time I've listened to this in a while. IMO it is an album that suffers from the inclusion of pointless remakes and a couple of weak songs. It would have been a much stronger single album if it h...

Been listening to a free download of Josh Rouse's ' I will Live on Islands' from the upcoming album El Turista.

Really like it - very similar to early Paul Simon.

Everyone with the exception of all of the people on this board, it seems.

Errr...I knew and I also thought that it was common knowledge. I see it's been a little lively of late

As skilful as Henry is (was?), I have always thought him a sulky slimeball brat. That is true. The fact that he played for the scumbag nomads doesn't help. But in all honesty, I was most upset about this incident because of my Irish heritage. I would have felt the same if it had been any of the fren...

Yeah. Henry never cheated and it's the refs fault. :roll: Pathetic. Of course the game shouldn't be replayed. That is a road we would be mad to go down as we would have fixture chaos - every team is loaded with cheats and the fact that none of the Irish players came out and had a go at Henry is pure...

The game is in the gutter. The decision was shocking, but Henry proved that all this 'gentleman' bollocks is a sham. It was nearly as bad as his sulky tantrum after Arse's Champions League Final against Barca a few yearrs back.

Great player that RVP. Very underrated.

What I love about Swoon is the quirky lyrics and even quirkier vocals. Cue Fanfare quickly had me hooked (as well as in hysterics). Paddy Mac was never pretentious (which may be the issue with the latest offering). When asked what the songs were about, he told the truty....just a load of nonsense re...

Actually (being the pedant I am) The Gunman was 2001...so it's even worse :lol: During the last 8 years Paddy has been diagnosed with a progressive medical disorder that affects his retina and impairs his vision and hearing quite badly. Conditions hardly conducive to the writing and recording proces...

...and it's affectively only a demo. Personally, I agree that it is a patchy effort, but given that he has made Andromeda Heights, The Gunman and Megaheretz since (both which lack perfection, but still retain some Paddy Mac classics) i think it's a little unfair to say that he can't make great recor...

It's all good. Chelsea and Liverpool both lose in the Prem, leaving us to cruise to the top, and Liverpool make it four in a row at home to Lyon. They couldn't write this stuff! Formidable goal machine Arse only manage a feeble draw against Dutch obscurity. CSKA ere we come! Rangers losing 1-4 at h...

Been really loving a lot of GP recently. He is so consistent...I'd listen to even his weakest records. I found this In the Q&A section of his official website: From Ed Smothers: Since you and Elvis Costello have been compared to each other have you ever met him and have you ever thought about wr...

Oops...maybe I forgot that some of the newer board members haven't played before. You are only allowed to change one song at a time. We'll start again , but given how quiet it is on here these days, we never get around to a complete tower change!! :( 1.The Boy with the Thorn in his Side - Smiths 2.S...

Well, I'd argue that as so many managers have spent megabucks on Alan Smith, he very clearly is rated by some. Tom Huddlestone has been a great disappointment to me. He strikes the ball like an arrrow and his passsing range is sublime. Unfortunately, he has never married those skills to solid tackli...

And while I think of it, what is it with Fergie's persistence with Anderson and Nani? They just aren't good enough. File with Kleberson. Top 11 current overrated players: 1.Almunia 2.
