    Pep should have text me, I could have told him that and saved a shed load of money. Phillips as well, money down the drain.

    Gaspode got a reaction from ramit in Liam Rosenior   
    I've just read an interview with Graham Potter where he talks about his 'football philosophy' - it's clear the Liam also has one....unfortunately Liam doesn't have his pick of top players to implement this philosophy and while playing better football will normally result in more wins in the PL, in League One it is meaningless as your strikers will typically score one in four chances and so dominance and pretty football doesn't translate to points on the board.
    As you say, Liam needs to wise up quickly, accept that this division calls for a different approach, and pick the team to fit that approach, rather than maintain his desire to play to his preferred style. When things aren't working, change them, don't dig your heels in through stubbornness and continue to watch us struggle to get wins.....Saturday has suddenly become a huge game.....

    Gaspode got a reaction from Reggie Greenwood in Any metal heads or musicians on this forum?   
    Cheers for that - I'll look them up.
    I don't really follow new bands (though I am partial to Black Stone Cherry and Clutch - neither new, but still producing good new music).
    It's a combination of my taste widening (to include folky stuff (love Seth Lakeman, Laura Marling & Suzanne Vega), a bit of old jazz (Miles Davis, Monk), 'new' prog (Porcupine Tree/Steven Wilson & Pineapple Thief), electronic stuff (Gary Numan has being doing some good stuff in the last few years) and also bands that I was aware of years ago but didn't really listen to as much as I do now (e.g. Pixies, Radiohead, Depeche Mode) - but I think the main issue is not really having the visibility of what's out there in the 'rock' world other than what I pick up off Planet Rock - in the late 70s/early 80s there was Sounds newspaper which highlighted the new bands to watch out for and also the Friday Rock Show on Radio 1 with Tommy Vance who was very keen to give bands a chance of airplay. Every week brought a new band to find out more about...
    Nowadays there may be the same number of bands coming through, but what was generally called 'rock' has now split into a huge number of sub-genres and I just can't get into the trash/death stuff at all - I think I've mellowed...
    PS forgot the Scorpions on my original list - they were great at the Assembly Rooms in 83

    Am I missing something or isn’t Paddington Bear just a story about a cute bear from a foreign land that likes marmalade? I don’t think he really “stands” for anything or that Michael Bond was trying to make a statement when he wrote the books back in the 1950’s. ?

    If you do not wish to pay your respects to the Queen, that's fine, being respectful to the members on this forum that wish to though isn't a big ask.
    This really is not the time or the place to discuss personal views on the monarchy.
