    Very, reigning European champions, year before was the treble year, and won their second of three league titles on the trot by a distance. Yorke was brilliant the treble season. He was less effective the year in question but still scored a lot of goals. Tailed off badly in his last 2 years at...

    The Official Needles and Grooves 1001 Album Generator Project (aka Preachin’ about the Preachers if today’s selection sucks)

    Same there are four or five that kinda occupy that space for me and this is one of them. I’m thinking maybe Tupelo Honey, Veedon Fleece, St Dominic’s Preview and No Guru No Method No Teacher are probably the others

    As a club they aren’t as hateful as Liverpool, City or Leeds but damn that Wenger era team was a fierce rivalry. I respected the earlier 98-02 team but the 02-06 team despite playing some great football was insufferable. With the exception of Bergkamp, I don’t think it’s possible to hate Bergkamp.

    I blame Wenger. He sewed a culture of Arsenal must be allowed to dazzle us all and every other team and referee is just there as a backdrop to allow him to paint his beautiful picture. There will never be a more insufferable human being. God I forgot him much I hate that Arsenal team circa 02-06.

    Oh yeah not you just Arsenal fans, particular actual London Arsenal fans, Londoners are just awful in general but gunners, eugh. The whole thing after that wolves game had me wondering if I was crazy. It wasn’t a red to be fair but he also caught him with his studs, it’s not like monstrously...

    Jesus Christ. Would you lot just stop winging for one second and enjoy the bloody good title challenging team you have. The moaning after the wolves game was when I lost patience with you lot and remembered just how palmful your fans are. It was very little error in the grand scheme of things...

    I’d imagine he’d have played in North Norway and/or Russia in December in a champions league game at some stage?

    And Alex Turner, beginning with the Last Shadow Puppets, is increasingly basing his career around becoming a modern version of him.

    You do also get to that point where something is just very good and to make even the most marginal gains ends up costing more than it’s worth in any cost/benefit analysis. But then people with disposable incomes often like the best and biggest and shiniest option regardless of that.

    Yeah totally although I still think you can do as well, or better, and definitely better looking, for less using custom plinths and other arms. But still way beyond my budget. But I love the idea enough that I’m looking at the older examples now 😂. The 1300G is probably much more likely given...

    I didn’t go for their baseline but I had one made by a third party cable company over here for the same reason but I did go with spades. If your speaker cable is terminated with bananas I’d keep the spades. They fit nicely behind the terminal, are a cleaner fit than bare wire and the banana can...

    That Marantz is meant to be mega and I adore my REL TZero, it’s your felllas little brother. I think you’re going to have a lot of fun with those. Make sure to read the REL manual in respect of grounding with a high level connection and a class d amplifier.

    Funnily enough whilst I like other technics tables and likely will eventually end up with one as my endgame, probably a 1300G or it’s replacement, the 10R is the only one I really covet. I love the modular idea and getting thst magnificient top of the tree motor and platter and then mating it...

    I think I read that they consider the SP10R and the various other models with bits added on to be the top of the hifi styled tables with a tick tock down the range between the dj and hifi styled one. So 10R/1200G/1300G/1200GR2/1500/1200Mk7. My guess is the next would be the 1200G2, it seems...

    New bathroom works begin on Wednesday. Forecast to last 5 or 6 working days. Pray for my sanity.

    They were massively punching above their weight to be fair. Hopefully the premier league money isn’t pissed away and can lay some foundations for long term growth for them.

    Yeah he was a bit of a hot head when he first arrived. I remember him getting sent off stupidly at least once but I think that’s never a bad sign in a young player once they eventually learn how to channel it.

    There’s something that bit more special about a cultured lefty. Especially when they’re that bit temperamental and maverick with it.
