Tehran Stag Do

Its easily their best album. Not a dud on it. Bullet Proof I Wish I was....beyond amazing. I love Thom et al but I have to say OK Computer is the most overrated album in history. Its good but not deserving of the cum shots ahoy from the likes of Q etc. Airbag, Paranoid & Lucky apart (and Lucky was 2 years old anyway at the time) the whole album makes me yawn and feel like I have flu. For me The Bends, Kid A, Amnsiac & In rainbows are far superior. Nothing on OK Computer comes anywhere near Pyramid Song.

Ha none in my post homes...

Arctic Monkeys version of 'Love Machine' pisses over Girls Aloud (ahem)..

I started watching it when it 1st came out. Got up to Season 4 and then didnt watch the rest of the entire series until last year when I watched 5 to the Final Act in about a week. For me, it tops both the The Wire & The Soprano's - As genius as both of them are. Its a personal preference but I think its more a gripping watch than The Wire (which works primarily BECAUSE its a slow burner) and more realistic than Tony and chums, although not as funny (what is/was though?). Season 4 with Glenn Close is quite literally the greatest single season in TV history. For those who have not yet got that far, and I won't spoil it, it is like watching a 13 hour version of Training Day. It is fucking awesome. A friend who is lucky to live in LA (a footy coach over there) tells me its literally bang on the button for its depiction of the sprawling urban enviro over there. The quality does not dip one iota through to the last season but Season 4 is just stand out. Anthony Andersons performance is just top drawer but then again so is that of the entire cast The highlights are too many to mention and I envy anybody watching it for the first time. As a Shield nut, here goes: Fave Characters - Lem, Ronnie & Tina (For very obvious reasons) Best Season - Season 4 Best Villain - Marcos or Antwon Best use of music - Coldplays 'Til Kingdom Comes' or Kid Rocks 'Bawitdaba' Best Acting - Walton Goggins in every episode he's in Enjoy folks you will not be disappointed

If he kept the discipline required i.e. not bombing on, he could still be one of the best holding midfielders in the world. He's brilliant in the tackle and can pass as well as anyone on earth. Still. Whether our all new 6 yard passing rule would suit him is another question

Not dead current but still getting played quite a bit Avicii - Sihouettes Jay Z & Kanye West - N*ggas in Paris (Vandal Squad Remix) Muse - Starlight (Marco Jules Remix) available from the DJs website La Roux - In For the Kill (Skream remix) Avicii - Nictoria (Lee Morrison Edit)

By far the most alarming thing about last night was Downing mugging around in the background looking the absolute double of Christian Bale in American Psycho....

Although he probably didnt catch the eye as much yesterday as maybe in previous games in terms of assists, I thought his "game intelligence" yesterday was remarkable for a lad his age. Thought he was excellent, 1st half especially. Space just seems to open up when he has the ball the way it did for Rambo back in the day.

A friend of mine who is close pals with the Real People knows both of them. He prefers Liam because he always asks how you are and is interested in you whereas Noel, as sound as he is, is a bit 'me me me'. I love em both. Both extremely funny in very different ways.

A lad I played footy with went to work as a teacher in Leicester. . He was a decent looking lad and did Muay Thai so kept himself in good nick. Must have been 29 at the time. Said the first 6 months were a nightmare. Said he was getting his arse slapped and pinched in the corridor and wolf whistled. After a coiuple of weeks he informally complained to the Headmaster who told him, (I shit you not) "it'll be the accent and you should wear looser pants and shirts!!! The girls will calm down after they get used to you!!" A girl in the final year became so obsessed with him she was writing his name on her thighs in permanent marker of a night and taking photo's to show him the next day. They still wouldnt suspend her. One girl came up to him in class one day and said "Mr Stewart I had a boss dream about you last night" in front of the whole class. Wrong on so many levels. He came back to the North West in the end he was para to fuck about getting a false accusation or that he was leading someone on. Mind you knowing him he got off probably before he did something he regretted....

Great point, Been saying that since we got him. One of the biggest shithouses to ever wear our shirt. Watch him. When the play looks to go wide he'll drift inside and vice versa. His only plus point is that he looks like Christian Bale

Shocking. I was in the Anny Road for the famous FA Cup "Shitgate" game. Their behaviour that day was appalling (ours wasnt exactly 1950's either) but the majority of it seemed to come from the titular MiBs one of whom I recognised as a doorman from Manchester City Centre. I actually cant believe they sang that today but then again "they do what they want" I suppose...

Is Northern Ireland not in Britain therefore they're British?????

To the dickheads who sang this on today of all days .- you're no better than the mancs. Tasteless, disrespectful to the families and most of all plain stupid. I loathe her as much as the next person with a semblance of humanity for all of the same reasons but this is just plain wrong and opens us up to being called hypocrites. Stick this song up yer arses

I'm 99% certain it was "Where's your famous atmosphere?" both times though I was in The Kop so can't clarify if a few smackrats used the 'munich song' line in it. Sky News never report news that unconfirmed, nosireeeeeeeee

Bang on the (purple) nose this. Whilst Fergies letter is no doubt a genuine plea to respect the 96 and anybody who had read Kennys book knows the old soaks sentiments on Hillsborough are heartfelt, I cant help but have the nagging feeling that its taken their support to be criticised in the media for action to finally be taken. Sure he has mentioned sick chants being wiped out before this game but again, I cant help but wondering if its the criticism of the PLC and their fans that prompted this. Also if he had even an ounce of the class of the great Busby and kept his fucking gob shut for the last 26 years about us and not made uncalled for remarks over the years, many times when we're not even playing his team, the level of antagonism may not have reached these levels. That said, if he does indeed lay a wreath at the Kop alongside the ticket tout I'll applaud him thunderously.

The religion where you meditate and end up on an Astral Plain? I fancy a go at that one. Theres an energy at work in this universe that we don't and cant understand. Call it God or Tom Cruise or Postive Energy or Aliens or whatever but there's something afoot in this big yard I'm tellin you but we cant comprehend it. If Richard Gere couldnt in The Mothman Prophecies then we're all just dumb cockroaches making up some Supreme Being to try to explain the wonders of life and why Ghosts exist.

I clearly know fuck all about football. I said earlier we would fuck them. Royally. I probably should be horse-whipped. HOWEVER there were positives. I thought Stevie improved as the game went on as did Shelvey after a shocking 1st half (id have subbed him at half time for Sahin). We gave them too much space at times and we clearly miss Lucas positional sense in snuffing out danger yet despite this we found it very very easy to get in their box today and with more brains in the final 3rd could have won at a canter. Disappointed he brought Christian Bale on instead of Oussama and wanted to see Sahin play some part. Borini at the moment has Dirk-itis but I can see him coming good. I Hope. I think. I know.

There'll be a point in the next few weeks (maybe months) were she'll be on her jack jones, bored and probably had a glass of rose with "the girls" after work where she'll have slagged you off and ended up defending you. At this point her post-relationship period she'll be lonely, probably feeling a bit under-appreciated and like most women these days will want some attention to maker her feel better as well as a bit of an ego boost. She'll text you with some crap excuse for doing so, This is the danger zone as Sir Kenny Loggins so firecely heterosexually & almost Germanically aggressively put. There is a window of opportunity here brother should you wish to climb through it and land in the wet sink, so to speak. She'll test the waters but if you played your cards right you can end up round at hers with a face full of fun pillows and her digits up your hoop. But dont. Stick with the present and swerve her. Be loyal to your new squeeze and give you ex what she probably deserves. Lonely nights, Dominos pizza and major insecurity. If you regret this, sit on your hand when you're on your own and feed the geese about her. You'll still hate yourself afterwards but you've not hurt anyone. Just to show Im not a complete chauvinist, on this Earth us men are weak putty in the hands of a vulva sporting homo sapien...

I'm quietly confident today. O'Neill is one of those managers of whom other managers (including most of our previous ones) show far too much respect to. His tactics, for the most part, appear to be rigid organisation in the back 6 with a "just give to the wingers" philosophy. What appears to be the case with Rodgers is that he has such self-belief in his own footballing philosophy that he does NOT pay too much respect to the opponents or their managers. This is exactly what we need. I actually cant bear O'Neill, the little fucking Sprite primarily because of the above but also because he reminds me of the nerdy twat who got to plough Goldie Hawn at the begiining of Private Benjamin. My own only fear about today is big Connor Wickham. You know the future England Striker, the one who "snubbed Liverpool" a couple of seasons ago to go to Sunderland when Container Head was spunking money on any bit of tat. Yes he'll be a big threat..oh hang on...whats that? He scored 1 League goal in 16 appearances last year? Pffft. We'll fuck these. Royally.

I think EFC have shown their class over the last few days. They have a minority of pond life (as do we), their songs are shit and part of their ground is made of trees but they are proper football club, which we knew anyway.

Iran is a beautiful and ethnically diverse country. The people, in general, are without doubt the most hospitable, courteous, cultured and western thinking in the Middle East bar none. The majority of people are not religious and actually love America and all it stands for believe it or not. They have a strong attachment to family and respect their elders like no other people in the region. Its also on eof the safest countries in the world to walk about at night whether you are male or female On the other hand, their government, Basij militia and clerics are a shower of mentally backward, incompetent bloodthirsty hyenas. Same as the Israeli government...

SYMM how have you slept for 23 years?
