Re: THE FRANKSAV MUSIC THREAD

‘I can’ t help it, if I’m lucky …’ 🎼🎼

I reside in London, streets are paved with gold, didn’t you hear?

Yep, Simple Twist …prefer the ‘simpler’ songs like those …

… eg Babe I’m Gonna Leave You’, I’m sure Bob wrote it and Page pinched it!

Re: THE FRANKSAV MUSIC THREAD

Forget Visions of Johanna, I’ve got visions of my credit card statement, having just renewed two season tickets. Oh well.

Interestingly, I have just read through an internet post of his best 62 songs (1962, geddit?) and Sad Eyed Lady is No.1 (fair enough) but No.2 is Changing of the Guard, off ...

Re: THE FRANKSAV MUSIC THREAD

There’s 37m people here, so will check to see if Dylan is somewhere amongst them.

May take some time.

Re: THE FRANKSAV MUSIC THREAD

Am in Tokyo a ce moment, but couldn’t resist adding my views.

Dylan is peerless imo.

Fave song is probably Jokerman, or maybe Don’t Think Twice …

Fave album is prob Street Legal.

Tokyo is unimaginable unless you have actually been there. You just cannot visualise so many people. It is truly ...

Re: Other Matches Thread

All credit to Eddie, didn't he say he was leaving Arsenal 'because he wanted to win trophies'?

Re: Real Madrid A Big lugs quarter final 2nd leg Weds April 16th KO 8pm

A lot of talk regarding Kiwior as a weak link over the last few days. And prior to last time too.

The guy is first choice CB for Poland and only not got many chances at Arsenal due to form of Gabriel and Saliba. But before his undeniable run of excellence, Gabriel did actually make the odd mistake ...

Re: The Arsenal v Keegan’s King Bottlers Caraboa Cup Semi Final 2nd Leg Wednesday 5th February 8pm

If one of Arsenal and Everton was to win 3-0 tonight, and the other was to lose 3-0, which would you choose?

Not straightforward, been pondering all afternoon.

Re: Toon turdholes H Cup semi 1st leg Tues 7th Jan KO 8pm



Arteta: "It's just half time [in the tie]. When I see the team playing and how we deal with a lot of situations, playing against a very good team, I have full belief that we can go out there and do it."


In the same way I have full belief that tonight Miss World is going to finally track me ...

Re: THE FRANKSAV MUSIC THREAD

Posted on here a few times over the years regarding Marillion, imo one of the very greatest bands of the last 30 years.

Most will know the Misplaced Childhood album, in the Fish-era, which is still one of my top 5 all-time albums.

Post-Fish, with Steve Hogarth, they are lesser known maybe, but ...

Re: Man Cheaty 115 charges / Everton / Other Corruption Super Thread (merged)

I am sure it's been said already but the legal costs ramifications for the PL would be catastrophic if City get off, or just receive a slapped wrist. I read their KC is on £5000 per hour and the 'hearing' is set to last 10 weeks. The PL is probably using a 'no win no fee' ambulance-chasing sort of ...

Re: Peace cup (Korea) winners 2005 A Sun Sept 15th KO 2pm

Redcrap and Merse got it spot on.

Timber's reckless challenge was potentially career-ending and has no place on the football field.

I thought he deliberately set out to injure a fellow professional, and the fellow was lucky to escape with the very slightest of touches on his leg.

I am amazed ...

Re: Getting tickets

If we are going down memory lane....

In July 1996 I went up to the Highbury Box Office and asked to buy two season tickets for the forthcoming season.

They couldn't have been more obliging and someone from the Box Office walked me round the stadium showing me the various pairs of seats which were ...

True, Here Comes the Flood is immense and still as haunting today as it was when first released, the opening is 'spine tinglingly' beautiful.


Yeah! Aqualung would raise more than a few eyebrows today...


Must admit Close To The Edge is still my favourite album... But Different strokes etc ...
