  1. Yes they messed up with the draw. It should be the final Murray, Nadal and Djokovic all have the better of Federer these days. I know Federer won Wimbledon but I think playing under the roof was too his advantage or maybe he's just a threat on grass these days.
  2. Sorry never spotted it. Federer struggling against tsonga, never fancied him on clay anyway.
  3. I couldn't find a Tennis thread so thought I would start one. Any thoughts on the French open. Can anybody see past Nadal winning an 8th championship. If there's anybody that can beat him its Djokovic who beat him quite easily in Monte Carlo.
  4. I think the stories will still come out even we release a statement.
  5. One of which is a Joy Division song and both of which are Pre-Blue Monday (the obvious first career changing moment for NO), which is also before any commercial success. I also suspect If Curtis had remained alive, the band would either have split anyway before Blue Monday or never gone down the path that it did. Yes ceremony was written by Curtis wasn't it? I can't imagine Curtis doing all that dance stuff, mind you I couldn't have imagined Hook doing it either. Blue Monday meant a lot to me as i'd just taken over a record shop and that was my biggest selling 12" single ever. I couldn't get enough of them. Factory records, distributed by Pinnacle.

Pretty sure Curtis would of had nothing to do with Blue Monday. Do you like the Movement album ? Personally I love it . Movement is actually my favourite New Order Album. It is the only one I listen to from start to finish Yes I like movement too buts its not one of their favourites as it was a transitional album between them and JD. Probably power corruption and lies is my fav. I must admit the last couple of albums have been crap.
  7. Sorry I don't see the point. It will be meaningless. The only thing that matters is if and when he signs a new contract.
  8. No how can you say that. New Order = Joy Division without the lyrics. If Curtis hadn't of killed himself who knows what direction the group would have gone. The film control is possibly the best singer/band movie of all time. Sam Riley did a pretty good job as Ian Curtis Not at all. Whilst musically they retain the ethos of Joy Division in a practical sense they sound completely different. They're Joy Division evolved. Horses for courses, I like both. edit - Yes, it's a marvelous film. One for another thread I guess but I'd recommend it to anyone who hasn't seen it. Riley nails it. Don't get me wrong I remain a fan of new order. Ceremony and temptation are my two fav tracks. I think that lacked a frontman. Summers is no Curtis but heck they enjoyed much greater success as new order.

  10. On the evidence of tonight this is one of the poorest Brazilian sides I can remember. I really don't know who is going to win the world cup next year. Argentina, Germany, Spain and although I don't think Belgium will win it they have certainly one of the most talented group of players, providing they qualify of course. England last 16 or last 8 if they do really well.
  11. Saying things are "a joke" sounds a bit Vicky Pollard, but 15 million for Benteke is exactly that. Yes I wonder how they came up with a 15mil figure?
  12. I think the trinity road one stood for 76 years so plenty of life in the old dog yet.
  13. he's got no chance, welbeck will play left wing, like i said i think gabby would balance it and give the team real pace down each wing, instead we'll have welbeck doing his headless chicken routine, then throw in theo's delivery and johnsons insistence on cutting in on to his left we dont put the ball in enough, which when you consider half the time we have rooney "upfront" its just really poor attacking play, no shape no options I'm sick of seeing Johnson in an England shirt. I know Walker was out injured but Johnson is Hodgsons first choice. Hodgson does only seem to pick players from the top clubs
  14. I've heard of them. My brother was a fan.
  15. Has a fraction of the talent Bannan has though. Don't rate him at all.
  16. Quite like Spandau Ballett myself, saw them at the Odeon,
  17. I don't think it looks that bad. Guess I'm used to dumps lol
  18. Was just about to post this. Best. Show. Ever. sang by the children of Bob Marley?
  19. Yes very old style. When are the FA going to pick the right man? people keep saying this England dont call up the right players England dont have right manager Who are these players and manager England need. Its not exactly a lot of obviosu candidates out there I know but Hodgson was the safe choice. We may not have won anything under Harry but it would have been less interesting. To be fair this is the worst crop of players I can remember. The fact he is still picking players in their mid 30s shows how bad it is.
  20. Yes, add Japan who unfortunately split up in 82, The Smiths. There are great groups from every era though. Radiohead are one of my favourite all time bands and they started in the 90s.
  21. Well its not really their game. I used to work in the states and played alot of football when i was there. One thing i noticed was that in general the girls technically were alot better than the boys when we played. That's surprising. Why is that? Isn't the US womens soccer league fully professional and attract the best female players in the world
  22. Yes very old style. When are the FA going to pick the right man?
