Athletic Bilbao have great pedigree - never relegated, won loads of silverware, big support...

I know they're shit now but there was a time in living memory when 1860 were serious rivals. Potential is still big if they ever get their act together. As the name suggests Bayern were more the team of the region of Bavaria whilst 1860 were well supported in the city of Munich. I'll add...

Szmodics looks a really decent player. Thought Moran was promising.

This thread is warming up nicely...

As you correctly point out, he was one of the few Radio 1 DJs to survive when Matthew Bannister took over the station and cleverly chose to leave when he wanted to. It all feels so strange as I was only listening to him on Pick of the Pops this morning. He made that show his own with a...

The two hairdressers in the salon where I used to go to as a teenager in the 80s were openly gay and used to laugh along to Gervais.

As the definition of a hit song seems quite flexible, let me add Talk Talk to the mix - no Top 10 singles, radio standards like "It's My Life" and "Such a Shame" didn't even make the Top 40 , absolutely massive in continental Europe. Unlike some of the other acts on this thread they contributed...

Critics' darlings in the 80s, never had a hit, from Brisbane, got a bridge named after them there - you should have a listen.

The Go-Betweens' highest charting single, Streets of Your Town, only reached number 80 so they definitely count! An absolute travesty of a career.

I used to live close to Luton in the mid 80s - the days of David Evans as chairman (looney Tory MP) and the plastic pitch. Travelling those six miles from Harpenden (Herts) to Luton (Beds) felt like going from the First World to the Third World. But, for the reasons you've mentioned, they fully...

Huge opportunity for Luton. I'd love them to stay up and I grew up despising them as a club.

Television get in there just for Marquee Moon alone. Sparks The Doors

Ornstein is streets ahead of Romano - Champions League against Conference League in terms of reliability and seriousness.

Used to buy the programme at every game when I lived in the UK and still buy one for our occasional visits. I think some of the writing is really good (Spencer Vignes, for example) and justifies the cover price.

I think some reviewers are being really harsh on Ferguson. His hold-up play was decent and he put up with a lot of treatment from their defenders. For me, that was his best game in quite a while.

It will take a lot for any film to impress me more than The Holdovers. I cannot recommend it highly enough - brilliant acting, great dialogue, authentic 70s feel, great locations, soundtrack...it had everything I want from a film. 9.2/10

If he's only got six months left on his contact, they should make him train by himself and fine him the maximum. What a horrendous thing to do when your team are chasing the play-offs.

I am absolutely gutted that I can't watch tomorrow's game - the Under 12s I coach are in an indoor tournament. Should never have entered them... That tells me my cup fever is at least 4/5.

The only thing I would add is that it was a lot more affordable - ticket prices, young person rail card. What strikes me on my infrequent visits back home is how middle class and middle aged football has become.

Tomkins came on to keep the score down - a tactical masterstroke!
