If Meighan released that, all the wife beaters would be calling it a masterpiece Two cheeks of the same arse. Both bellends are utter shit.

Dortmund winning it would go some way to instilling some faith at the elite end of the game.
It would be the best thing ever, beating a mere Hollywood club. They've always been a 'proper' club have Dortmund.
And I don't know, but maybe being massive underdogs might help them a bit. It might be a bit suicidal to go for even a balanced tactic in attack and defence, given how good Madrid are at exploiting spaces. But a backs against the wall defensive tactic gives them assurances in what they need to do, they did well against PSG flair so cramping Real Madrid's style might help. That lot are also due a loss in a final.

fire tom brady from Birmingham City. He won't take any responsibility for ruining that club. Thinking that Wayne Rooney would make a great manager for them..... fml. They should fire him out of a cannon at St Andrews. The stadium would at least have something to cheer about and be at full capacity.

Imagine having the level of self-hatred to support this guy. Just imagine. Really are a lot of troubled and disturbed souls, strangely a good chunk of them on this forum. Must be shit being them.

It's the age old dilemma though - keep him in the tournament for as long as possible so he stays out the commentary box or have the fun of watching him get knocked out. Tough one! Weird decision at the BBC to hire him when they planned to ditch Dennis Taylor. Was in Sheffield at the Crucible earlier this week taking in a few games, Ken Doherty is really nice guy in person, great with everyone. You can't ditch Taylor or Virgo, they are so far ahead of Murphy/Perry/Allen it hurts. Did you hear the story of what Murphy did to Maguire? I'd never heard it before No I haven't heard that story. I know they've had previous slanging matches but not aware of anything else?

What’s better: Four consecutive league titles, or one season invincibles? I don’t know. Are we in danger of losing the best/most impressive PL record? I don't think the Invincibles are in any way threatened by a club that's illegally bought four in a row. Seriously, everyone's forgotten City won the treble last season (apart from the 8 people that turned up to their trophy parade last season). Interesting how it is the same trophies that Man Utd won in '99 yet nobody talks about it. It's so far from anyone's mind and that's telling. Everyone knows what's going on.

I know I’ve said it before but Shaun Murphy is an insufferable bellend. Who the fuck at the BBC rates him? Glad Maguire stuffed him given there history.

Did you hear any of it before it was taken down? Not aware of this circulating. Hi. I did. The video in question featured a kind of low-quality 30ish second snippet of an instrumental song. Long story short, the instrumental was later reused for the David Holmes remix of I'm Not Giving Up Tonight. Yesterday I read somewhere that supposedly a snippet of Daisies can be found in the Apple Music documentary of WBTM. But I don't have a subscription to that so I can't access it nor confirm that the taken-down video took the snippet from that documentary. If somebody with Apple Music access can locate it, I would appreciate it! Look out for a tune that sounds like the INGUT remix. Did Daisies turn into I'm Not Giving Up Tonight? Like the vibe from the original 'Daisies', sounds like something from R.E.M's Up album.

Does anybody have a link to the "Daisies" demo? I think the only upload was taken down.. Did you hear any of it before it was taken down? Not aware of this circulating. News to me too. Wasn’t even aware Noel demoed tracks for Who Built The Moon.

She’s not really challenging the negative stereotype that women can’t let things go, is she? TWO HOURS of grudge settling?! I’d like her to put her sizeable talents to use on a subject other than herself and her sadnesses sometimes. I like ‘Clara Bow’ because, although it’s still about her, she expands her vision out a bit by grappling with the cynical nature of the LA-based music business, her place in it, and what the future might bring for her and those who will follow her. Haven't listened to it, don't intend to, but read a Paste article that highlighted some awful lyrics: "“You smoked then ate seven bars of chocolate, we declared Charlie Puth should be a bigger artist / I scratch your head, you fall asleep like a tattooed golden retriever”. I mean, really??! Sounds like Count Arthur Strong doing poetry! Hence the Be Here Now comparisons, critics falling over themselves but sooner or later they'll realise how deluded they were. At least I can laugh at "you see me, I've got my magic pie" for its 'can't be arsed' attitude to lyrics.

With The Verve, the whole is definitely greater than the sum of its parts. Who knows what kind of career they'd have had post-Urban Hymns if (a) Ashcroft dropped his messianic complex and (b) realised he isn't a god given talent in songwriting. He had a purple patch of good tracks on Urban Hymns but his solo career is maudlin saccharine dreck. The rest of The Verve are top though. McCabe especially. Give Ashcroft an interesting backing track courtesy of these talented guys and he'll do fine. Give him an acoustic guitar, then run a mile. Richard as a "Feel Flows" lyricist is up there with Stipe and Bono for me. Give him a mic and sprawling flow of music and he'll condense it into something single worthy. Give him an acoustic and he'll leave a generic loaf. The difference in greatness is some kind of humility. Bono and Stipe had the humility and self awareness to step aside and allow the band to dictate where songs went. Hence why both of their bands have at least seven albums each that can be considered truly great. On the other hand, Ashcroft's ego destroyed his band not once, not twice but three times. The man is an a-grade weapon and reading stories about him makes me admire the rest of The Verve even more for having to put up with him.

If I had a gun? The first time I heard If I Had A Gun, I wondered if Noel had lifted it from Roddy Woomble's solo album. Go to 1.52 for the same melody.

I would hate Liam to work with Ashcroft on one of his solo albums. However, I've always liked A Song For The Lovers by Ashcroft but that's about it regarding his solo stuff. True, Liam is far too good for Richard Ashcroft.

Ah please no Ashcroft the guy is really bad, he wrote one good song and got sued and never wrote a decent song again Most overrated guy from the britpop era. It’s fine as it is plus they’re hired excellent musicians With The Verve, the whole is definitely greater than the sum of its parts.

Tomorrow I start a new short-term job while I keep looking for the next step in my career. 6 weeks into living in my car, but I have a few leads on sticks and bricks. Keeping the faith. Hope everyone here is doing well 🙏 Best of luck Marissa, let us know how you're getting on.

What are the chances that these have been on YouTube and Limewire for the best part of two decades and gathering dust in cupboards on our old iPods? Knowing Ignition, I'd say 90%! It's hardly Ignition's fault if everything has been pilfered and already released online. They can't just make up stuff to release. I think people really need to temper expectations for this release. The general fan will probably find lots of new stuff on this but for people on here there's going to be little to nothing new. Even when we got a brand new previously unheard live version of Supersonic the other day people were moaning. 1993-1994 really has been picked clean by bootleggers. We can't then complain when there's nothing left for Ignition to give us. Ah it’s just tongue in cheek comment. But without anything of substance, it’s hard not to take the cynical view of record companies churning out negligible content for high prices. Preferably nothing if there isn’t anything in the vaults. As another famous Mancunian on this kind of thing - ‘reissue, repackage, re-evaluate the songs’ etc etc.

I know this has probably been posted somewhere on here but someone posted this from another forum from an interview what Noel gave talking about the re issue and what it will include- In a new interview [Noel Gallagher] has elaborated on what the upcoming release will feature, and [sic]; According to the musician, the 30th anniversary reissue of ‘Definitely Maybe’ will include a host of previously lost songs — which were made during the recording sessions at the time. Telling [..] Corriere Sera how the tracks were uncovered, he said: “ In the Sony archives we’ve found tapes dating to those sessions. We thought they were lost, but they were mislabelled. They are wonderful versions of those songs, some acoustic versions.” He explained that the new tracks added to the re-release will include acoustic versions of fan-favourites, ‘Live Forever’, ‘Slide Away’ and ‘Supersonic’. He also reaffirmed that fans shouldn’t hope to see any live renditions of the new songs anytime soon. www.nme.com/news/music/noel-gallagher-confirms-definitely-maybe-30th-anniversary-reissue-for-2024-denies-oasis-reunion-tour-3436441What are the chances that these have been on YouTube and Limewire for the best part of two decades and gathering dust in cupboards on our old iPods?

Liam and Squire on Jimmy Fallon - just wow. How does the guy's voice seem to improve in his 50s? As for Squire, no one aged 61 has the right to be writing songs as good as he's done on this album. Was listening to One Day At A Time today and wow I love that chorus. To me it's a pure Stone Roses melody and it got me thinking - a question for the Roses aficionados... How did the Stone Roses writing process work, as in the split between music, lyrics and melodies? Brown doesn't play an instrument (to my knowledge), and when I hear that sort of Roses melody, my guess would be Squire on music/melodies and Brown on lyrics, but does anyone know for sure? Thanks. For the “Sally cinnamon” era until “one love”, I think both Ian and John wrote together , though as you said, I assume it was mainly John doing the music, Ian on the lyrics.I remember it saying in John Robbs book on the roses that they could spend 6 months on getting a single line right in a song (I love that Strive for perfection. Apparently Cleese and Connie booth were the same whilst writing fäwlty towers). John though wrote most of “second coming”. I think the only sole credit for Ian was “straight to the man”. “begging you” was squire/brown off the top of my head and “daybreak” had credits for squire/brown/msni/reni. From reports, John became a real recluse in this period, constantly in his room by himself, watching natural born killers and obsessing over led zep. I think this contributed to the roses demise as they lost that band unity but at the same time John came out with some AMAZING songs such as breaking into heaven, ten storey love song, love spreads etc The bluesy hard rock of Second Coming isn't a personal preference but I genuinely don't think it served them well at all. Its reputation as a disappointing follow up is fair for the fact it just became The John Squire Show. Don't get me wrong, there is some brilliance. Breaking Into Heaven and Love Spreads maintains the swagger but they'd have been better placed to go all out on the Begging You sound. A heavy dance record in that vein would have felt like a natural progression from Fools Gold and One Love. The grooves would have benefited the rhythm section, bringing Reni and Mani to the forefront and unifying the bands sound. Technically they were such an amazing band, individually brilliant musicians yet I can't help but feel the album is a massive waste of Mani and Reni's talents.
