The best example of a pundit stealing a living in recent times was when Merse said he's never heard of any of the players we signed over the summer.
It's his ****ing job to know who they are.....
You mean like saying 'as long as you have Ronaldo in your team you have a chance' on Friday night and then taking the ****ing credit for predicting that the best player in the world would have an impact on the game. Cheers Danny, very insightful.
Everyone should probably give Inwards a go. Aphexy stuff based between Worcester and Brighton just released on Small Pond (Brighton label)

The Wellington near the station is normally a good shout for that. I know it is a Sky Sports pub but I don't think it'll be too busy and the beer is ok.
I definitely enjoyed it but HD was where my interest began to wane.
Both of those Concorde gigs were fab. There was one where Esben supported (first time I saw them) and Deerhunter played a wild 10 minute or so version of 'I Wanna Be Your Dog'
When I say brand new songs, I mean unreleased. On first listen they were much better. I thought Monomania was quite good fun tbh, the last LP, I could not get into.
But then I thought HD was a bit in and out. Cryptograms, Microcastle, the EP's of that era & the Atlas Sound & Lotus Plaza records...
In Brighton they opened with 6 brand new ones that really bode well for the new record. I wasn't so keen on their last one. We were saying the same thing about the sound, when they crank it up they are so so good.
Ooooh back on albums of the year thus far. Canada's Freak Heat Waves new one has been doing it for me. Probably my most listened to album of the year. Very hard to categorise, there's post punk/ kraut touchstones but with this codeine-rap vibe. Singular atmosphere (except the track that sounds a...
I don't know completely about this analysis. In the game that saw us not qualify for the Euros under McClaren, I've never known an England first XI so disrupted by injury as it was for the loss against a good Croatia side that won all three of its group games (including against Germany) before...
I completely forgot about The Ex when I said Hookworms was no.1.
1a and 1b I reckon. Have a feeling that's going to change after I've seen The Ex a couple of times in the next few weeks.
Ridiculously there's still a few tickets left for The Ex in Brighton. If ever there was a a gig to take a...
Just to expand on this. Those terms were always unacceptable, it's just that things have moved on sufficiently in some places that those telling us that they were unacceptable are actually being listened to rather than ignored.
I know you don't mean it like this but I actually think this may be in the ballpark that Stan is talking about that somehow by virtue of his success Hughton becomes less black.
