Who's doing it?
I'm likely doing the Thursday and the Saturday, tonnes of good stuff to see.
Thurs
Douglas Dare
Fickle Friends
The Japanese House
Odd Beholder
Saturday
Asgier
Thomas Azier
Tigercub
and about 20 other bands I'm considering...so much music!
So, it begins...
At a social event last night and a fella I know relatively well (but not exactly best mates) sidles over with a smug grin and says "two easy wins for us next season then eh?"
He has never spoken about football to me before, and I eventually figure out that he is a Man United...
All 3 have their strengths and weaknesses, and I would say that - at their best - there isn't much between them.
Gaetan Bong
Seb Pocognoli
Liam Rosenior
Where does your vote go? And why?
Nice to hear The Football Ramble giving it to Knocky, just ahead of Shelvey.
Your thoughts? I think there's an argument to be made for Lewis Dunk, I genuinely think he'd be comfortable in a midtable Prem team now.
We're at an interesting moment in the race for the top 2.
Brighton had a wobble but look to have recovered.
Toon had a superb run of results against top teams but keep dropping points at home and according to their fans look "dead on their feet".
Huddersfield meanwhile keep SQUEAKING 1-0...
Even more enjoyable than the Reading game IMO.
Stockdale - N/A
Bruno 7.5 - very lucky not to be booked
Dunk 8
Uwe 8
Rosenior 9 - blimey. I don't remember him being THIS good?!
Knocky 8.5
Stephens 8
Kayal 8.5 - vital return of the king. Lifts the whole team.
Skalak 8.5 - the difference in...
Genuinely. It was ONE ****ing game. That we lost narrowly. Against a very good side who needed the result more than us.
ROLL ON SATURDAY VS FOREST.
Come on lads. We go again.
Very tough game to rate, and think we'll see quite a variety in this thread...

Stockdale 7.5 - good pen save, would have to see other goals again to really see if at fault at all.
Bruno 7 - dreadful start but then kicked on and involved in a lot of good stuff with Knocky in 2nd half...
It's been agreed that years of exposure to loud engines and subsequent age-related hearing problems have led to Murray losing hearing in both ears. Poor old MW, great commentator for so many years.
I don't want to be another to say "We're already up", or any other nonsense like that, but it really feels like the footballing powers are smiling down on us this season.
On getting the fixture list pre-season, I remember seeing Norwich and Aston Villa comprising our final 2 away games, and...
1. Yes, I've googled it - seems to be mostly dead ends, or links to dodgy sites/youtube fakes.
2. No, I don't have Eurosport.
3. Is anywhere showing highlights packages?
It's a heartwrencher, I know - but Chinese clubs are absolutely SPRAYING the money around at the moment (£127m bid for Aubameyang?)
So, if a Chinese club came in with a silly money bid for Knockaert, would you still say keep?
