Elton is sounding the biz

Actually I think it will be 3 from 

Taylor Swift

Dua Lipa

Madonna

Harry Styles 

I think Spice Girls will be one. They've even said they all want to do it. Rihanna would be another contender

Manics on Sunday, please!

No chance nowadays. They were good this year though

Vocals don't seem to matter much at festivals if you are there. 

Except with the Roses at Reading in 96 :laugh:

Can't believe the slating Arctic Monkeys are geting from some. I wasn't too familiar with their stuff before last night, but I thought they were superb.

Thinking man's music after the same old noise assault stuff from The FF.

BTW, only heard one song from someone who's name I have forgotten. An all girl band with a dreamy sound.

Can somebody help? I enjoyed what I heard of them.

I'm not sure you could class the first album as thinking man's music :laugh:.

Elton isn't great in the clip Spudski posted, but he was brilliant at AG last year and his voice sounded great.

Sounds like the same song over and over to me..

I've always found them a bit overrated, but each to their own!

Weren’t Barca meant to be £billion in debt?

Yeah I believe so!

I'm very surprised about that. Guess he wanted a bigger payday than what City were offering

Depends on how many already there are moving on.

I think Bernardo may leave as he's said he wants a new challenge, but I reckon they could (and should) hang on to Gundogan.

Man City are reportedly close to signing two central midfielders in Kovacic and Veiga, so I doubt they'll be considering any more at the moment.

I was never a fan SC - laughed at his own jokes too often for my liking, rarely saying anything of substance.

I'd much rather have a manager that produced great results than clever soundbites, and Cotterill did

It was a long read for me as the text kept moving to different parts of my screen, with adverts being added on top of the text. Worse than the BP for adverts!

Oh man, I hate pop-ups. Renders a lot of web pages useless

'Long read' is a bit of a stretch - I think it took me less than two minutes

Who do people want to win?

Man City

It's free to watch on YouTube

Only one word for last nights gig apparently. Can you guess what it was?

 

That interviewer obviously wasn't listening to what they were saying, was he?

"Amazing gig, amazing, amazing, Florescent Adolescent was incredible, I was in tears", etc.

"So what did you make of the whole experience and what was your favourite song?"

My first concert down the gate this one. Planning to arrive around 16:30, does that seem about the right time? 

Don’t want to be too early but also don’t want to be rushing in. 

Especially not at seven quid a pint :laugh:

For everyone thinking what a job pearson has done at city,, edwards, and mark robins, have been absolutely fantastic for their clubs given the struggles they have had.

Yeah wasn't Robins meant to be coming to City at one point?

We were under the cosh a bit at times but a well earned clean sheet for the boys. I’d still prefer Naismith in DM I think, but he played well at the back today.

Side note, I really rate Bell. High ceiling there I reckon.

I imagine most ceilings would seem fairly high to Bell

I remember the days of 10k in League 1 being generally the average. Our support has grown exponentially since those days. I think Football clubs across the UK that are not traditionally 'big' clubs are seeing a recent surge in supporter growth in recent seasons. 

The chance to watch live football is far more worth the money than a sky tv package to most families. The matchday experience is massive for this demographic.

I also think regarding City, we've always had a fairly large following, not necessarily attendees though. 

I'm not sure about that. A month of Sky Sports only costs £33 and you can get loads of games for that

First few notes, yeah, hell of a spot that. I had to Youtube the track to remind myself.

Haha Windy is one of my favourite songs, so I hear it quite often

I may have mentioned her before, but got to see Brooke Combe Friday, I'll be amazed if she isn't massive in the near future. Her album came out last week, well worth a look.
Just been put on to a new band , to me at least, the Royston Club, really impressed with what they've done so far. No releases yet.

 

 

That bassline at the beginning sounds just like the start of Windy by The Association

Personally I think his biggest flaw was taking us virtually to the bottom of league one, getting hammered by Peterborough, defending like a cubs team at Coventry & scraping draws at home to the likes of Colchester, Shrewsbury & Leyton Orient & basing your entire game plan around the brilliant but mercurial JET.

He did make some good signings but was singularly unable to get them to win points in the third tier & despite having Baldock & JET (who I loved) up top, I think we could easily have got relegated again if he had stayed.

It didn’t matter that he had no personality, we were dire under him.

 

Yep. Two wins in 26 games wasn't it? Any club in the world would sack a manager with that record. The fact that he came across as grumpy just made the situation even worse for many fans. Cotts brought the feelgood factor back in more ways than one

Nonsense for me. I’d give him a 3 year contract now and say it starts now. The last 2 years have been firefighting and setting the club up to move forward. 
Roll on the window opening and building a promotion squad. We’re not miles away. 

Problem is, it's hard to build a promotion squad when you sell your best players at the first opportunity.
