    Bill Ryder Jones

    Closed the set on Friday night. He was incredible in Birmingham, him and the band sounding incredibly tight. The new stuff really is quite a departure live, almost sounds like a different band at times (albeit one that is also amazing!) Heard some incredible things about MCR the night after...

    Copenhagen, things to do and don’t?

    Go drinking around Vesterbro and when hungry, Kebabistan 👍

    Jamie carragher what a…

    It's why I rarely, if ever, have the sound on when watching live football. UCL Goals show is an exception but I think they're mainly journalists rather than "pundits" so perhaps that's the key difference in "listenability" :)

    Bill Ryder Jones

    I genuinely think he's pretty unparalleled as a songwriter in this country at present (and probably has been for a while). Seen him a few times and never fails to impress - from a raucous Xmas homecoming gig in Liverpool a few years back to solo with just piano. Off to see him in Birmingham...

    Euro 2024 tickets

    Yep, I was surprised with the number of people heading straight to viagogo/seatwave etc when they didn't get what they wanted yesterday. I checked the two games we're after and tickets were being sold all day in the second hand market. Not sure if they're legit but the prices actually weren't...

    Glastonbury 2024

    If ever a line summed-up a) the fact I'm getting older and b) how the "mainstream" has shifted it's this one! Only The National, LCD and PJ I'd be keen on from that list and I'm seeing 2/3 this year anyway. Seems to lack the "wow factor" compared to previous years with no real surprises...

    Jamie carragher what a…

    Is he? I watched him with Henry last week on MNF (a rare occasion I had the volume up) and Henry was far more eloquent, insightful and intelligent. Carragher may have been a top class defender but he's an awful communicator and as for his "banter", I don't think Larry David has much to worry...

    Euro 2024 tickets

    There was probably a fair bit less demand last time round due to covid restrictions though I think? We're in Leipzig for five days (with tickets to a game in Berlin), think I'll just head to the ground in Leipzig and see what I can pick up (y)

    Euro 2024 tickets

    Did anyone have any luck in the resale this morning? Managed to get through after around 90 mins queueing but pretty much singles left at that stage (and anything in your basket was bought by someone else prior to check out).

    Rav

    It's indicative of how good he is that he's trusted to play that role though. If he's the last the man there's a fairly high chance that any mistake results in a goal. The fact that I cannot think of one such mistake/goal shows the level he's operating at right now.

    Stream For Brum Game

    Yeah assumed it was the stream as I was getting around 500mbps across the WIFi. Think I'll go back to HDMI next game tho.

    VDB

    I'm convinced he'll go on to play at the very highest level. His reading of the game is incredible and rarely loses a one on one.

    Stream For Brum Game

    Anyone having issues with the Boro live stream? My first time casting from the app tonight (hdmi cable went just prior to kick off) but the stream keeps freezing.

    Manchester Recommendations…

    Almost forgot this place too - https://thesparrows.me/ absolutely incredible, one of the best meals I've had in a while.

    Manchester Recommendations…

    Port Street Beer House usually has an incredible choice of beers. Bundobust for food 👍

    Chair

    Surely it's on his employers rather than the EFL? QPR presumably have policies in place in his contract to deal with issues such as this. If he can physically play (i.e. he's not in prison) and they want him to play, there would/should be little anyone else can do. Same as a contract of...

    Ajax vs Aston Villa

    Shame Marseille Villarreal isn't on the main channels. Probs watch Rangers at 8 but should be straightforward for Benfica really.

    Our historical performance

    Appreciate our historic performance pre-Gibson but if anything shouts out from the Gibson years, it's money. Roughly 10 years of gradual improvement, followed by 10 years or so as a top flight team (when we were punching above our weight financially) followed by 10 fairly fallow years where...

    I won't be renewing

    Agree, communication clearly forms a large part of this, although a football ticket is a rare product in which it's difficult to assign value based on performance. The best proxy is probably league standing (i.e. I'd expect us to pay more for the EPL, and less for League 1) but our pricing...

    I won't be renewing

    I agree with (almost all) of this - although I'd argue from a purely balance sheet perspective that a football club is no longer really just the fans, at the top level anyway, it's the revenue streams, and a large % of that comes from other channels these days. Albeit, understand that other...
