I don't know why, but I always expect us to lose to them but looking at the last few results we're pretty well matched. Also, we're going into this with similar form.
The weather might end up being bullshit, so that could be a wildcard. But I think this is a really good test of where we are at.
I do like that performance. I never really cared much for either singer's voices but the way they harmonise on this is good. And it's very sad to think they both killed themselves.
Brilliant vocals from Mark Lanegan. Sadly lost a few years back.
The late great Layne Staley. Possibly the best voice in rock ever.
Stone Temple Pilots. Scott Weiland was never going to make it to old age but a real talent nonetheless.
I've got to include Killing Joke. Geordie Walker, the best to ever do it. And Paul Raven on bass, also dead. I met him and he was just a pleasure to talk to. Geordie was a bit aloof. But you'd expect that.
I'm not suggesting that Dennis Wise's son has ever stolen a car or is ever likely to die in an accident. I'm just pointing out that Harley Wise is just a bit of a chavvy name.
I saw a nice looking watch the other day and didn't buy it because the manufacturer was called Wise and therefore Wise was written right there on the dial and it made me think of Dennis.
Joey Barton at the very top of the list. On and off the pitch.
On the pitch if I could have willed a player into a coma from the stands, Alan Shearer would be waking up today with a Rip Van Winkle beard. Just a horrible c*nt to play against but not in a good way. He was constantly fouling but then also constantly complaining about being fouled. Zero sportmanship.
Would have fking loved someone like him playing for us mind!
I know that selling guitars privately seems like a ballache of a chore but now that I've done it a few times, it's not too bad. And you can post via Parcelforce at the Post Office for like £15. So it's all pretty doable. I sold mine all through eBay. They don't have selling fees anymore so it's not bad. And actually a couple of times the buyer has been local enough to pick up and they've been absolutely sound.
"Why don't we, and why is it so apparently hard to achieve?"
We're in a league of 23 other teams. Each one of those teams has a manager trying his best, a scouting network, training staff. They're all doing what we're doing. Why would we be consistent? There's no reason to be.
The only way to get some consistency is to outspend the competition. Get the best players, get the best results. But then look at Man City and Man Utd. They're spending plenty and not getting consistency.
QPR can try their very best on the pitch but the other team are doing the same and might make the game hard for us. It's like fighting. A good fighter can make another good fighter look ordinary.
I mentioned in the last page that I was consolidating down my three electric guitars into one (the GORGEOUS Sire T7 tele). I now have that, a bass (also Sire) and my new acoustic.
The Harley Benton Nashville Nylon.
Took me ages to pick this. Other brands do this sort of guitar - a thin, electric guitar style but with nylon strings. Ibanez and Cordoba most famously.
The thing is they all seem to fk about when it comes to fret markers. I just want dots on 3, 5, 7, 9 and 12. None of this 'tree of life' shit or just dots on the side of the neck. Bollocks to that.
So I went with the cheap option and I love it. It's so playable and you don't get the rattle and noise of a steel string. I can do sweep arpeggios on it, so it's basically like playing a wide electric neck. It's also quiet so I can noodle while watching a film.
Probably needs a little set up but it's playable out of the box.
A few years ago I ran a website all about '80s movies. It was a lot of fun but I eventually realised that no-one gives a f**k about your website. That said, a guy from Repo Man (my favourite film) commented on my article about why it was the best film ever.
Anyway, Letterboxd is great. I watch a lot of films and forget half of what I saw so having a record of it all is decent. Just watched my 50th of 2025: Weapons. Solid horror film. That's what I'm mostly about.
It's a ridiculous rule yes. But if there was a way to literally override physics and decapitate John Terry by frisbeeing a small plastic cup lid at his neck, I would have figured it out.
