    Glastonbury 2025

    Line-up announced today which will no doubt provoke the usual mixed reviews. Once again an uninspiring set of headliners for me and you need to look at the undercard which, once more, is looking pretty decent. Stand out for the whole weekend for me is Wunderhorse, probably my favourite band...

    Glasto 2023

    Last year's seems to be closed so post here all things Glastonbury. My tip is check out Last Dinner Party on Saturday at 11.30 am. May not show them on the Beeb as they're well down in the pecking order, but saw a bit of them at the IOW festival and they're worth a look see. A bit Florence and...

    World Gin Day

    Today is apparently World Gin Day. Does anybody else on here enjoy a G&T or is it just for women and Tories.?

    Worst act you ever saw live

    Who was the worst group/act you ever saw live. This wins hands down for me. I was unfortunate to see them live at Erics in the late 70s and they were truly dreadful. Ashamed to admit they are a Liverpool band too, arguably the worst ever. Amazingly it comprised a star studded lineup that went on...

    Home Insurance Renewals

    Just had my house insurance renewal quote through and they've slapped an increase of 20% on. No change there, it happens every year. just get a comparison quote, phone them up and they either reduce it or I move insurers. However the comparison quotes are horrendous. Only one company is...

    April 15th. Can a date in the calender be cursed?

    After yesterday's dreadful fire at Notre-Dame, the first thing that came to my mind was the date. April 15th. This is the latest in a number of high profile tragedies/events that have taken place on that date over the years. 1869. Abraham Lincoln, probably the most famous of all American...

    Are we playing a defensive high line?

    @Crimhead Help me out here guys. I was called out yesterday for suggesting in the Rennes match thread that we were getting caught out employing a defensive high line. The poster was of the opinion that we weren't and that Silva doesn't normally employ such tactics. Now I don't know enough...

    Southampton game lap of appreciation.

    This is one for the match goers. What are you going to do, assuming that nothing has changed between now and then as regards Allardyce seeing out the term of his contract.

    Favourite Album to listen to when you're stoned

    A recent post from @COYBL25 had me thinking about what I like to listen to when I'm off my head. Two in particular sprang to mind immediately. Floyds Dark side of the moon and side 2 of Kate Bush's Hounds of Love. What's your fave?

    Should the club loan the likes of Klaassen and Sandro to other Premier League clubs?

    I notice there has been a lot of debate on here regarding the merits (or otherwise) of loaning players to other Premier league clubs. The fear of many is that it could hand the initiative to one of our peers as we all battle against relegation. I was interested to see what the general consensus...

    Ross Barkley and England

    Yes I know we have a Barkley thread already and we also have a recent thread re the relevance of International football. But in Ross's case, playing for England is obviously so important to him and there's no doubt in my mind that being dropped by England at the beginning of the season was a big...

    Chelsea Youth policy

    In recent years, Chelsea have had some of the very best English youth prospects coming through their academy. They have dominated the F A Youth cup and have large representatives in the England youth set up at all levels. But the last Chelsea regular to come through their academy was John...

    Scouse of the Rising Sun

    The latest scouse themed adult pantomime on at the Royal Court. Anyone seen it yet? Anyone planning to? Went to watch it last night. Not really a theatre type but I enjoyed this. Great fun and I'd recommend it if you get the chance to go. Lots of piss taking, it reminded me of GOT with swearing;)

    Strictly Come Dancing

    Apologies if there is a thread on the go already but couldn't see one. The missus had this on the TV when I got home from the match last night. WTF is John Stones doing on it?

    Dead Ball Specialist

    Summerisle talked me into this. Was watching the video of our 84/85 F A Cup semi win over Luton, and it reminded me what it was like to have a dead ball maestro like Sheeds in the team. Oh to have somebody like him now. Baines has provided some moments over the years but seems to have lost the...
