You had my curiosity.

Now you have my attention.

I give you a million pounds. You have to put it on the line, with one of three bets. If you lose, it gets taken away

England win the World Cup
Liverpool win the league
UK wins the Eurovision

What do you put it on?

liverpool, by a mile.

even if the multiverse existed that other shit wouldn't happen

The cake song from last night Eurovision semifinal was sensational.

Best song was the Hungarian one. Then again, I'm Hungarian and it made me happy to see a NON-Hungarian song for a fucking change. Some half Hungarian Americano singing a tune that wouldn't be out of place at Liquid & Envy nightclubs.
 
God no. Japanese pop music is awful. Korean music is slightly better, but even then it's questionable. I mean that stupid Bubble Pop song I keep hearing is just an inferior Bubble Butt.

WHAT, say WHAT, I love me some J Pop

currently got this band stuck in my head, Pinkey

FYI they are an all pornstars band (this MV is safe, their others may not be), their music is really good imo

Should probably not trust the 7-11 security cameras quite so much

Interesting, I hope she succeeds there.

One day Sian Massey will have Howard Webb's job.

Until Spurs stop going through managers like socks that's as likely as Lord Lucan showing up at WHL.

Not really. We've changed managers multiple times in the last 7 or 8 years but barring the terrible Ramos era, it's been mostly 4th and 5th place finishes. Our playing staff will always be top 6 quality at worst, so we can afford to keep looking for the right manager. Even the turnip we have in charge now has us in 6th place.

Arguably you had the right manager in 'arry.

There's still a fairly obvious gulf in quality from being a CL club every season to scrambling for a EL spot. The Bale money was badly wasted too. I don't see Spurs making the step up next season.

A ... pornstar band?

Weird.

I just don't like Japanese music, generally speaking. Sakanaction is good, and I like some experimental stuff. Boredoms are one of my all-time favorites. Acid Mothers Temple, Guitar Wolf, and some lighter stuff like Shugo Tokumaru. But none of that is pop, except Sakanaction, and they're the exception to the rule because they're like Japanese Phoenix. :p

I'm not even joking, every member of the group is a currently active pornstar. Could you imagine a western pornstar pop group? XD

as for other Japanese bands, I like Back-On, Misono etc

AVB was a good fit for Spurs and he did a good job in his first season. it was naive to sack him; Levy felt he had to do something, even if that something was worse than the status quo

in general, I don't think it's a very good idea to sack managers for the sole purpose of getting that short term boost in form that coincides with a new manager

Sakanaction are indeed amazing, bbt they are nothing like Pheonix.

Lillies and Remains, The Mirraz, BYEE the ROUND, Number Girl, Supercar, Spangle Call Lilli Line, LITE, Last alliance and Czecko No Republic are all amazing bands, you should check them out!

I think you like Jinn, try them out!

Sonically they are really similar to Phoenix.

I've heard about half those bands and kind of meh on most of them. Lillies and Remains and Supercar are both really good. Number Girl is okay, I don't like Byee the round or Mirraz. The other ones I haven't heard of.

Yura Yura Teikoku is tops though. Forgot to mention them above. Truly great music.

Those "news stories" are amazing, e.g. that Chelsea want Khedira (rated at £36m) or that there's a really good chance Suarez would go to Bayern.

Who the fuck would pay that much for Khedira? Why would we want Suarez?

Especially when Gündogan most likely will be on the market next year.


Looks like Dortmund isn't going to send Ji back to Augsburg, they'll wait for his arrival and then decide what to do.

Oh, man, we have a very different taste. I really love the Mirraz and their fast song structure. Byee The Round is also one of my favourite bands when it comes to how mature they sound in relation to any other bands out there.

I actually never gotten into the craze of Yura Yura Teikoku. enjoyed them mildly, but I wound't go as far and to say that I like their style.

Number Girl, man, what a band!

EDIT: I recently gotten into the Punk and Hardcore of Japanese band. Locofrank, RottenGraffty, Hawaiian8, Hi-Standard, 10-Feet, Ken Yokoyama, etc and I am really enjoying them!

AVB was sacked because we had scored 16 goals in 17 games and conceded 11 unanswered goals against City and Liverpool. His football was not working and too focused on preventing the opposition from scoring, when anybody even half-decent scored first against us we had no answers. The only teams we beat under AVB after conceding first were Sunderland and Fulham. Without Bale his system didn't work, we had no explosive player who could score from anywhere.

If you look at the number of goals our strikers scored between January 2013 (when Bale moved to the striker position) and AVB's sacking, Defoe scored 1 goal in the league. Adebayor 5. Soldado 3. Without Bale he was not able to hurt teams.
