North Street in Bedminster/Southville has got some really decent pubs, especially if you are keen on cider, real ale or craft beer - The Steam Crane, Spotted Cow and The Hare to name but three (to give a kind of idea of what they offer, the last couple of times I visited The Hare they had Dark...

If you can get yourself a decent photo/postcard of sorts and are looking to get it blown up onto wood, canvas or acrylic, I'd recommend Colourstream down St James's Street. Might cost you a few quid and the wait for your items to be created may be about a week, but the quality is absolutely...

The BBC team's analysis was fantastic tonight - Thierry Henry in particular was very insightful. Turn over to ITV as they show highlights of the Spain-Netherlands game, and their commentator sounds like he's covering the game using Skype.

The teams near the foot of the table have made some very eye-catching signings this window I think. Doncaster getting Sharp back and the Villa defender Stevens on an extended loan seems good business, Sheffield Wednesday have boosted their defence with a couple of experienced defenders...

Have to admit, I think the "II" album is the best thing either of Modeselektor or Apparat have been involved in. As good as their first Moderat collaboration was and also their own albums, they've stepped it up even more with this team effort. It got a lot of very good reviews when it came out...

Finally worked out my top twenty for this year - the top three were easy to pick out, but to whittle down another around thirty or so great albums into the remaining 17 spots less so. There's been many albums that have been brought out this year that I've really got into - if they were...

Granted, Keaveny can be samey and very reliant on the soundbites, but there's always a guaranteed laugh (which can be exactly what's required on a working morning). Lauren Laverne's show is generally good, Marc Riley can be a great listen for the more under-the-radar stuff, whilst I also...

Dexter Blackstock for me. One of the best headers of the ball in the division (he's no Ulloa, but he'll do). Due to the competition for places at Forest, he's hardly getting a game at the moment either. I don't think it will be a Forest player that will be the next forward we sign though. At a...

With the exception of a handful of albums released within the past 12 months, I think I've probably listened to King of Limbs more than any other album this year. When it came out, I have to admit I struggled to get on with it, but now it just gets better and better with every listen. There's...

Think Barcelona may be less willing to send their players to the Championship after they sent one of their young attackers, Rodri, to Sheffield Wednesday :lolol: about this time last season on a year-long loan. Four disappointing months and one goal later, he was back in Spain. Interestingly...

Best thing they've done I think. Been a long time due though, here's hoping it won't take quite so long for their next album to come out. Other albums I've thoroughly enjoyed listening to in recent weeks: Jon Hopkins - Immunity Moderat - II Jagwar Ma - Howlin' Washed Out - Paracosm The...

Agreed - despite Wolves being absolutely awful in general, Sako was excellent for them last season. Think he'd fit it very well with the way we play and would give us a decent left-sided attacking option. Mind you, he was linked with a £4m move away from there last month (Fulham and Forest were...

Or Joe Mason? He's been one of the better strikers I've seen against us come up against in the past few years. Quick, canny, good at losing his marker and with an eye for goal. I'm sure he would almost certainly offer us something different up front than what we currently have available.

Iceland is fantastic - I'd jump at the chance to go again. The Golden Circle tours that generally operate are great for a day out - tons of spectacular sights (you can even ascend a glacier if you pay a bit extra and travel by jeep). As for Reykjavik itself, this place was really good to eat...

Local Natives - Hummingbird. Wasn't really keen on their earlier material, but this is a much more mature and structured album that's really easy to go back to again and again. Aaron Dessner (guitarist from The National) produced this album and on many of the tracks the influence of The...

In terms of footballing exports (Valur Gislason aside), Iceland really does punch above its own weight - the entire country's population is just 320,000 (which isn't that much more than that of Brighton & Hove), yet they have produced numerous players who have featured in the Premier League...

Ian Holloway took Leicester down with 52 points from The Championship a few years ago - think that's the record at least as far as this division goes in its present 24-team, 3 teams down format. That has to be smashed this year.
