UEFA Europa Conference League - Alkmaar, Legia and Zrinjski

[Richard E]

If we do qualify for Europe we’ll need to buy in the summertime.

[Villa in Denmark]

Pre season tour to Australia?

[Brazilian Villain]

I for one thought we voted to leave.

Exactly, and I look forward to us qualifying for the English Super Cup in the future

With a bye through to the 3rd round of the Farage Mogg Cup.

Better known as the Littlewoods Cup.

We can start the clearout with any Manic Street Preacher fans

You Love Us really

Nah, I’m stumped on this one. It must be a really obscure bonus track or B side if even I haven’t heard of it.

I've been keeping my eye on Rachel Corsie in our women's team. She's cited McGrath as an inspiration. The Girl Who Wanted to be God. Ambitious indeed.

Edit: I'm waiting for Eamonn to see this before I receive the love this post so richly deserves.

It was good, but my main take is a raised eyebrow at the reliance on '96-era Manics in your puns, betraying a possible lack of appreciation of the musical richness both before and after the chart successes.

Ah now, I did a Motorcycle Emptiness one. And this thread has made me start listening to Everything Must Go, hence the seeming focus on those songs.

I don't really mind the Manics, but they've never been a favourite of mine. I like this album and the Holy Bible though.

Generation Terrorists is for latecomers. I’ve still got my original cd single of Motown Junk #betterfanthanyow

I've just Wiki-ed it, and I managed to not bother listening to any of the seven albums between 2004 and 2018 - but their last album The Ultra Vivid Lament is really, really good. And well worth 45 minutes.

[Richard E]

Journal for Plague Lovers is the best post-Richey album, sort of Holy Bible II

[Dave]

Excellent, I was hoping you might tell me which of the seven I should dip into.

Although I lied, I think I did listen to Send Away The Tigers once and didn't bother going back afterwards.

I went with my mate (who loved them) to see them at Brum Uni in Feb 1992. I've disliked them ever since, a right bunch of old wank.

I didn't like them at the time, but in retrospect I admire their attitude in the early days. There was lots of really bland, boring music around in Britain at the time and they came along with an agenda to fuck things up. That their ambition outweighed their abilities at the time is endearing to me now.
I got into Suede at that point for similar reasons, the exception being that they had one of the best musicians of his generation on board so they, y'know, sounded better.
