I hadn’t really realised the Busby babe Albion links either, before my time but really interesting stuff ⚽️
Thanks for the link, really interesting read ⚽️
I agree with everything you say, you are of course correct.
I’m not bemoaning our form or league position, moreover my (most likely irrational) fear that Fabs is systematically undermining years of development and squad harmony in 3/4 of a season…
I’d be happy to be proven wrong 😑 I guess I...
Losing Julio was disconcerting, losing Evan would be genuinely saddening and maddening.
We’re talking about two players who potentially have very high ceilings - one so talented with the ball at his feet he got people out of their seats and (with strong man management) could be a world class...
I find going into Smiths a great way to decompress - it’s like a deserted library, a sanctuary spa on the high street… with the silence only punctuated by the heavy breathing of men of a certain age getting excited by the latest floor-stander feature in What Hi-Fi…*

My love for physical format remains as strong as ever… vinyl and cd are king for me… decided to move away from vintage units when an old Hitachi turntable literally blew up in my front room… 🔥
I’ve invested in a Marantz amp and CD player, supplemented by a fine Audio-technica TT…
The most...
What for exactly? Calling him out for what he is and waiting for the inevitable to occur?
For years I’ve put up with him resorting to calling me a f***ing C in plain sight of other users, I refused to put up with him sending me expletive laden personal messages with one aim: so he can continue...
That lineup, which I think included Moody, Marsden as well as Lord and Paice… not surprised they blew a coke and drink addled Sabbath off the stage… that era of WS was arguably the best if you like your groove, bluesy and soulful with a slice of MKIII Purps…
Yeah, Coverdale and him - it didn’t quite work personality wise… bit of Blackmore about Sykes in more ways than one.
One thing I didn’t know, was that In the Still… was based on a demo Coverdale had worked up with Blackmore back in his Purple days, I guess Sykes helped him polish and refine it...
Yep, it’s cheese, it’s probably not very politically correct (😂) but really it’s harmless and, fundamentally, it ROCKS 🎸
Hadn’t listened to In the Still… for ages… it’s an interesting and cool track - owes a debt to Zep I guess, but it made Whitesnake HUGE, along with the rest of 1987 for a...
Another legend gone, yes… a superb guitar 🎸 slinger.
His work with Whitesnake might not have appealed to the original WS fans, but 1987 rocks plain and simple.
Out spinal tapping spinal tap… how did they get their hair so big ?
Love it.
Reminded of a ginger popeye and played with a similar level of skill I'd expect from a fairly hapless cartoon character... I guess he liked his spinach though as he'd bust a gut every time he played AND you can't ask more than that.
Thank you - some of this dates back to his Swansman days, but twice recently he opted to send me abusive personal (aggressive) messages which I sensibly chose to ignore/leave without reply.
I’m no saint, and like to wind him up on occasion, especially when he’s spouting nonsense. Thus I’ve...
I’ve been called a f***ing C and worse… he’s gone as far to message me privately as such on multiple occasions… very personal and very nasty.
That’s who he is, scratch the surface, ahem - disagree with him, call out some not true BS and he flips and reveals the true person behind the hippy...
I’m going to say it as I see it:
Swansman is almost certainly all of the following:
1- I suspect he’s never kicked a football in his life… although he’s made outlandish claims like he invented the step-over and coached an under 8 scouts team to the quarters of the local 7 a-side somewhere near...
I’ve started ignoring the bigoted Swede since he decided to inundate me with insult laden personal chats… all because he took exception to my assertion that he’s got a man crush on certain x Albion employees… so sadly I’ve missed all the fun, but I can guarantee the longer Potter flails at West...
