Hard to believe but England are facing an early exit from World Cup after this disastrous performance against Algeria. Why does Capello keep on playing Heskey? The guy looks like a plank of wood most of the time, utterly useless. Could Joe Cole make a difference? I still think leaving Theo Walcott a...

mood swung wrote:confidential to Invisible Pole: at this moment, I adore you. Not that I don't like you the rest of the time, but today you're keeping me out of last place. At least temporarily. Hugs!

As The Stone Roses sang :
"I wanna be adored
You adore me
You adore me
You adore me"

Happy Birthday, guys! Hope you had a great one!

Not a bad game to start World Cup, but I did not like the vuvuzelas.
You just can't hear the reactions of the crowd - no cheering, no whistling, no sighing, just a constant buzz. Hope it's just the hosts' games.

No problem if I ask a friend of mine to join our league ?

I'm in. My team's called Miracle Men :-) (this can hardly be said about Polish team who lost 0-6 to Spain tonight) If you're wondering what kkskalisz is (my name as "manager"), I simply did not know what "screen name" was supposed to mean at the time of registration, so I took th...

Happy Birthday, Pophead!
Happy Birthday, Sweet Pear!
Many happy returns to both of you!

How about Paul Weller ? I'm not a big fan of his solo output, but his latest albums get rave reviews, and plenty of them say how vibrant and inspired his music still is, contrary to his contemporaries. Example : "Weller has outlasted his contemporaries, and is still producing forward-thinking w...

Is your real name Noam Chomsky by any means?

And here's the album opener :

I love Tracey's voice. The albums sounds more like early EBTG, which I always prefer than the post-Missing electro-dance stuff of the 90s'.
Info for all Ron Sexsmith's fans - Tracey covers Child Star on the album.

Can't get this one out of my head.
My favourite song from their latest album

Great finish, Otis! Congratulations! I tried to make a desperate move of buying Van Persie and making him captain in what I thought would be a game between Arsenal and Fulham reserves, but it did not quite work as expected. And I made a huge mistake by selling Drogba a few gameweeks back. Anyway, lo...

Thank you, pophead. Your words and thoughts are much appreciated.
This is a horrible tragedy for Poland.
And they were all going to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the massacre of thousands of Poles by Soviet NKVD forces in nearby Katyn woods.
Sad beyond words.

Quite strange indeed.
Maybe it's only the board, because he seems to be making regular changes to his FF team.

Otis, give us a shout that everything's ok.

What, no comments on Rooney injury, or Fabregas injury, or Chelsea beating Manchester (admittedly with Drogba goal from clear offside) ?!?
One of my favourite threads has turned into a very quiet place.
Where have you all gone ? Facebook ?

9-point difference between top four players.
Now this is turning into the toughest FL season in the last couple of years !

I am enjoying this one now :

Very sad.

I don't own any of his records but the songs I've heard are all pure pop gems.
And I'm a fan of Teenage Fanclub, who obviously adore the guy.

One of my favourite songs :

...a place where nothing ever happens.

Talking Heads

thanks the links. I found the audience just as interesting as the band. What's the deal with the yellow glasses? The yellow paper glasses were given to the audience before the show. I've still got them somewhere, I suppose. :) On the other hand, the cameraman/tv editor/director definitely exaggerat...

Great stuff.
