Awful awful news. I still haven't managed to take it in yet. Such a great player, a model pro. And from the sounds of the tributes from his friends he was a great bloke as well. As a Bolton fan, I was lucky enough to see him play here for three and a half years. Here is a video of all his...

Stereophonics - Word Gets Around My second favourite album of all time, only after Actung Baby. Relentless album, quality song after quality song. Amazing how a three piece band can create such a sound. Not that big in the USA, so if you haven't heard this album do yourselves a favour and get...

No Line on the Horizon (B-side version) I went on holiday a day after the first leak of No Line of the Horizon (the upbeat rocking version), therefore I have missed a lot of the discussion surrounding it. I came back this week, got hold of the album, and think it's amazing. However, as much as...

Me and a fellow Bolton supporting pal were in the pub tonight, and decided to evaluate the sporting week: Weds 17th October: Bolton sack their manger. England balls up Euro 2008 qualifying. Saturday 21st October: England lose world cup final. Bolton lose and sink to the bottom of the league...

:yell: What the hell as Old Trafford got to do with this? Why not go to the Reebok? Trying to big the town up, then mention the towns biggest rivals. Yeah thats really cleaver. Not happy. :mad: Bolton though is quite a trendy place these days. I'm thinking of getting a flat somewhere around...

1. Chelsea <-- Shevchenko's goals to win it for them 2. Man Utd <-- Will go right down to the wire, but just miss out 3. Liverpool <-- Will take a year for Torres to adjust 4. Arsenal 5. Tottenham 6. Bolton <-- I just don't see why there are so many predictions of doom Bottom five: 16...

This is for everyone who lives in or near Manchester. If you don't currently have a copy of the book U2 By U2, I bought it today in Manchester for £2.99! I couldn't believe what was in front of my eyes when I walked past the shelf. RRP £29.99, on offer at a tenth of the price! I know a lot of...

"Other football clubs to feature in the top 20 were Tottenham Hotspur, Aston Villa, Chelsea and Bolton Wanderers." Wooo yeah! Suprising but great to see two of my obsessions being in the top 20!

Wasnt loads of new material in there, but there was some. No Rag and Bone which was a shame. Overall, a good mixture of old and new, and an amazing show. Everyone in England can check BBCi this week. There is a short White Stripes set from last week at the BBC studios. Only 23 minutes long, but...

Saw thw White Stripes last night in Leeds. Absolutley AMAZING!!! Both their new and old stuff.

I had to work during the game so didn't see it. Was Beckham really as good as everyone is making out? Good cross for the goal. How did Owen go on? We need both Beckham and Owen. I won £24 on the match as well. Would have been £40 had Brazil not equalised.

The temple of football that is the Mighty Bolton Wanderers of course! :bow: It won't go to England even if South Africa isn't ready. England will already have a bid in by then to host the 2018 tournament.

Whats all this about then? http://home.sky sports.com/articlefp.aspx?hlid=457343&channel=plato Never heard of this fella. When I click on the news reports I'm directed to a very strange looking site that seems to be run by Sony. This man a fictional player? Never heard of the clubs he has...

Wasn't having a pop at yourself there, don't worry! Just that EU fella monsieur Belet who proposed the super league would be a Perfect Solution wound me up. And although I suggested not supporting this super league by attending matches and watching it on TV, I know millions will, and it will no...

How sad that the perfect solution when it comes to football first of all concerns the financial issues. Never mind the opinions of the fans and the complete disregard for the footballing traditions of the nations involved. Afterall, it's not the fans that are important anymore is it? Greedy...

The fight at the end of the Valencia v Inter match was hilarious! The way the Valencia player planted one on the Inter players jaw then legged it, what a tough guy!

Superb! I thought with the Raconteurs touring recently, it would be quite a while unitl we heard anything from the White Stripes. Quite funny how they have called it Icky Thump! As Blueeyedgirl states, it is pronounced in this part of the world as Ecky Thump, a term to show surprise at...

Just come back from one of the best matches I have ever seen at the "Bok." Hoarse, knackered and gutted. Gonna be in a bad mood all day tomorrow now. I'm going to bed in a sulk. :grumpy:

11. Is That All - The only bad closing song on any album 10. 40 - Good, but after listening to the live version, it becomes a lot weaker 9. MLK 8. Love Is Blindness - Same as 40 7. Shadows And Tall Trees 6. Wake Up Dead Man 5. Fast Cars 4. The Wanderer 3. The Ground Beneath Her Feet 2...

I feel sorry for Crouch. He played the lone role against Portugal in the World Cup and slogged his guts out. I dont think he played too badly against Spain either, that ref definetly had it in for him. But he does need someone up there with him. Lampard should be dropped NOW. He does nothing...

The disaster that was the World Cup I think was down to Sven. As far as McLaren goes, I think he needs to be given a bit longer, at least till after the Israel game. That is the crunch game for England in these qualifiers. Nothing to do with my club bias, but I honestly think Big Sam would have...

I'll brush my boots down for Wednesday, no bugger else is playing it would seem!

Listening to it now on the myspace site shown abobe^. Sounds good, quite dark and melancholy, but sometimes I suppose everyone gets in the mood to listen to an album like that every now and again. Quite different from Phonics stuff. All the songs have female names. Strange.

Amazing version of Kite. Bit it has puzzled me for a while now... why the dedication to Cate Blanchett? Why?!?

David Beckham has followed the same path selected by the English media that every other celebrity has. He has been built up to a ridiculous status, put on a pedestal a mile high. However, the media eventually became bored of him after a few years, and for no reason at all (other than to sell...
