Tut tut, excuses, excuses LG. Still, look at it this way, you're still four points ahead of Man Utd.

Love this Michel Gondry video. Chemical Brothers - Let Forever Be

Thanks for doing that Keef. As you probably know there are plenty more where they came from. I've never loved a man but I love Muhammed Ali.

UC - to me Muhammed Ali is a God. When I was a kid and he was starting out my dad used to let me stay up and watch him fight. When Ali fought the whole world watched. He was unique and took boxing to another level and turned it into an art. He was a real hero and inspiration to all the afro/caribbean kids that I went to school with. I saw him about 15 years ago in Holborn doing a book signing. Thousands of people came to greet him and he literally stopped the traffic. And, yes he makes me cry too.

I'm expecting a few fireworks at St James's Park tonight as there is no love lost between Big Sam and Professor Arsehole Wanker. Still, having said that I really can't see the Scum losing to Newcastle.

Lena Lovich - Lucky Number. I like that. Still got the album and I thoroughly recommend it.

Had to post this, haven't heard it in ages and lost my copy years ago.

Dolly Parton wrote it Brendan but Oh god if I ever get subjected to that bloody Whitney Houston version again I may have to kill the person who put it on.

That's a brilliant song that. I loved Jilted John.

Ahem! Bob Dylan - I Want You

Impossible to pin down favourites, they change like the weather. But some stick around and off the top of my head...The Rolling Stones - Jumpin' Jack Flash for the opening riffs that grab your attention straight away and You Can't Always Get What You Want, the choir at the end still make the hairs on the back of my neck stand up, David Bowie - Starman, The Velvet Underground - Sunday Morning. I'll leave it at that.

I find it rather hard to believe that you are discussing someone else's relationship on a public forum. Unbelievable!

I had three heroes when I was growing up and they are still heroes to me now. First and foremost Muhammed Ali, a great man, a great fighter and someone who stood up for what he believed in. Jimmy Greaves, the greatest goalscorer this country has ever seen. 44 goals in 57 caps for England. Top goalscorer for every club he ever played for every season and scorer of over 100 league goals before he was 21. I wanted to be a footballer when I was a youngster and he was my biggest inspiration. Unfortunately, he quit playing when he was only 31 and I was just 13 at the time. Also, for overcoming his alcoholism and staying sober after hitting rock bottom and rebuilding his life. Keith Richards of The Rolling Stones, the riff meister, a great songwriter, guitarist and someone who stuck two fingers up to authority and still quite clearly doesn't give a f**k.

Blimey! So Mike Reed's a Liverpool fan eh? No wonder you remembered. Well done Keef.

Yes, I saw that too. Uriah Rennie is worse than useless. I've seen better referees on Hackney Marshes. Reminded me and a couple of other punters in the pub of when Graham Poll celebrated a goal at Old Trafford when United scored.

Spooky!! Johan Djourou (on loan from Scum) tripped Dimitar Berbatov for our penalty. Spookier. No way was that a sending off for Robbie Keane. I don't like to slag referees as their job is hard enough as it is but that decision by Phil Dowd was very poor. It was a bad challenge but a booking would have sufficed. It helped turn the game around for Birmingham. I'm still totally gutted by the result as I thought we played really well but we still can't defend without Ledley King and once again we've conceded in the last minute. A cracking goal too, but a game we shouldn't have lost. An entertaining game for neutrals but torture for us Spurs fans.

Father Ted?

There's no future in the past. Have you considered onanism?

Jeff Beck at Ronnie Scott's last night was just jaw droppingly good. Awesome doesn't even come close to describing it. There were so many times when my mate and I who is a pretty nifty guitar player himself were left open mouthed in awe and wonder. "How the f**k does did he do that?" Just amazing. Here's a review from Jazzwise if you're interested. Jeff Beck at Ronnie Scott's

I was living on the Dog Kennel Hill Estate at the time at the bottom by the railway line and several trees along there were completely uprooted leaving quite a few cars very badly damaged.

So it's finally opened then. I've been wondering what that shop was going to be whilst peering over my pint in The Dog. I remember it as Ye Olde Village Tuck Shoppe from my misspent youth. Used to be dead easy to nick the sweets in there.

Good post Paul. It's the kind of breathtaking hypocrisy we've come to expect from companies like E.on but that I guess is for another thread. Yes...back to the football. Come on you Spurs!
