  1. I just don't understand why the Genoa clubs are always such underachievers.
  2. Palace are going to get hammered here.
  3. Looks like you may have answered your own questions?
  4. Brown was basically washed up by 1976. But those records he did from 1967-74 were ferocious. I totally get what you're saying about "liking songs". I do too. A well crafted 3 minute pop song is a delight. And that live musicianship from the old days was somewhat lost with the advent of rap music and modern production techniques. So I understand what you mean. But I also think music can be anything it's creator chooses it to be, so I don't limit myself. And those songs from the 60s are always just fingertip away.
  5. Really enjoying this latest Spurs implosion. In a way Conte was completely correct, but I also think he's made a bad situation worse. He's clearly trying to get sacked. I think Levy might oblige. They should try to build their team from scratch and try to being more academy players in. Hire a manager for a long term project rather than a mercenary. They should cash in on Kane and Son and buy younger players. Basically do everything Arsenal have been doing.
  6. The thing about Black American music is that it is rarely static. The soul crooning style that James Brown did in the 50's and early 60's fell right out of favor with Black audiences along with the Chicago Blues. @Xannis right, "Cold Sweat" was the turning point where the songs became more aggressive and "funky". You're also right that his music lead to Disco, House, Rap, etc. But where you say pernicious, I say essential...
  7. Farfalle pasta with mixed local mushrooms, red bell pepper, shishito pepper, Habanero pepper, garlic, butter, white wine, soy sauce and Parmagiano. Unbelievable.
  8. McCarthy publicly backing Trump's incitement, and essentially inciting more. Very dangerous situation here.
  9. I noticed that about a minute after the opening goal, you could hear a pin drop. Really strange.
  10. The Kinks had a thing for the Beach Boys. In fact, they nod in their direction on two songs off Give the People What They Want: Around the Dial and the title track.
  11. That sounds like the harp was overdubbed on it years later. It's so high up in the mix that everything else almost fades away. Cool tune but weird mix.
  12. He will milk it indeed. I wouldn't be surprised if he holed up at Maralago and told them to come and get him, and his frothing horde will converge down there for a standoff.
  13. Just use the mute function, it makes Off Topic so much more enjoyable.
  14. You gotta love it. MLS doesn't want their fanbase to know, though.
  15. Chelsea aren't better than us right now. We absolutely can go there and beat them, and if we are actually thinking Europe, *we have to beat them*. They are our primary rival right now. Huge game, and the two week build up will increase the hype!
  16. This will be a relaxed and enjoyable run-up from a fan perspective. I don't see any reason why we can't go to Stamford Bridge and just hammer them. And then keep picking up points to end on a high note. Europe highly unlikely, but we've won 10 in a row before, haven't we?

    Unai Emery

    Yep. Imagine if we'd had Emery at the start of the season. We would be right in the Champions League conversation.

    Unai Emery

    I like how he doesn't really pander to the crowd much. All business.
  19. He's not short of self belief.
