Yeah! At last another Faces fan. Hooray to that. Plenty more where that came from. Three Button Hand Me Down

Navy blue and white. Anyway big hugs. God! what a bunch softies. Gotta be better than Tottenham's chocolate brown away kit last season. That really was shit!

You're right. Reading it again. It's very poetic. Send her a love poem Azul and the legover situation should change quicker than you thought.

Damn! I don't have an MP3 player or a beer belly although I'm working on the latter.

Exactly! And it did impact on performances at first but I think the team as a whole are right behind Martin Jol, you could see that in the goal celebration at the end of the four-all draw against Aston Villa and the performance we put on against Liverpool last weekend. Having said that I think spending 16 million quid on Darren Bent has so far been a waste of money. He's a long way off justifying his price tag. Anyway Thierry Who? You certainly haven't been missing him have you?

The new P J Harvey album (White Chalk) has hardly been off my sound system since it came out a couple of weeks ago. Completely different from what she has done before and I have all her stuff. Other listening pleasures over the past week or so have included:- Augustus Pablo Lee "Scratch" Perry The Heptones The Faces Ronnie Lane Primal Scream David Holmes M.I.A Bat For Lashes Martha Wainwright Any Winehouse

1,431 since March...I really should be writing that novel that I always said I would, either that or get a more interesting job.

I don't mind a bit of banter between our supporters but I thought you came on a bit too strong as a first poster. You're right about our board, bunch of idiots. Jol is indeed the best manager we've had in a very long time and hopefully we'll stick with him, better even than you're own George Graham but then I think it was just a plant. Mind you he did win us the Worthless Cup so he wasn't all bad.

I have a well tuned sense of humour Atila with one L. Just quit the aggressive and childish stance and maybe we can talk about football like proper grown ups. Anyway, six games unbeaten since the Arsenal game, admittedly four draws and only two wins but we are slowly improving. As for England on Saturday Lampard's got to earn his place back in the side. Gareth Barry has played really well and looks a perfect foil for Gerrard in midfield and should keep his place. Should be a pushover against Estonia but I'm a bit more worried about the Russia game especially with that artificial pitch. Surely that's some sort of unfair advantage they have there.

Atila, (there's two Ls in Atilla) you may or may not have noticed that there are quite a few other Arsenal fans on this thread who have not felt the need to resort to the kind of silly and pathetic little playground taunts that you've managed to lower yourself to with the minimum of ease and yet you say you've supported the Arse since '68. How come you show such signs of immaturity? Or are you as I suspect just another blockhead? We try to respect each other on here without feeling to the need to insult each other. Either behave yourself or f**k off. Also, European Cup Winners Cup as you've correctly pointed out yourself is now defunct. So that's two defunct Cups you've won and f**k all else. We've won two UEFA Cups as well as the the old European Cup Winners Cup. Just thought I'd point that out seeing as your such a stickler for facts.

Ungrateful cow! Dump her mate, she's not worth it.

Good joke and a very good point ClaireinSE22.(tu)

Michael, I think there is a difference between being old and feeling old or acting your age as some might put it. The powers of recovery might not be what they were but we can still out drink and out drug most of these young whippersnappers if we so desire and that's down to experience. I might be getting older but I refuse to grow up. Denial as has been mentioned is probably a good idea too. 50 is the new 30 by the way. Always keep your sense of humour because if you don't you might as well roll over dead. Sorry to hear about the diabetes but as others have pointed out it's containable. Chin up!

Good shout! Haven't heard them in years. Hippie or not Asset, I saw Little Feat back in the 70s and they were fooking dead cool n' funky and Lowell George played some neat slide.

Yeah! What Keef said. (Also, Spurs have won three European tropies) Arsenal...um..Fairs Cup '68? the year you started supporting them.

I have enjoyed some of Radiohead's stuff in a small way in the past but on the whole I find them boring, dull, tedious miserablists. I tired of them years ago. I blame them for other boring, dull, tedious miserablist shite like Coldplay. Bastards! Music for bed wetting students as someone else once said.

You can get a CD version of this on Amazon.co.uk. I may well get a copy myself as I don't have it. I got Pick-A-dub years ago though which is great.

Crystal Palace is another one too. Ooooooh! Aaaaaah! Not big on fireworks myself but I guess kids like 'em.

A man wakes up in hospital, bandaged from head to foot. The doctor comes in and says 'Ah, I see you've regained consciousness. Now you probably won't remember, but you were in a pile-up on the motorway. You're going to be OK, you'll walk again, everything, but something happened. I'm trying to break this gently but your willy was chopped off in the wreck and we were unable to find it.' Now the bloke groans a bit but the doctor goes on, 'You've got ?9000 compensation coming to you and we have the technology now to build you a new willy that will work as well as your old one did, better in fact. But the thing is, it doesn't come cheap. It's a thousand pounds an inch.' The bloke perks up at this. 'So the thing is' the doctor says, 'it's for you to decide how many inches you want. But it's something you'd better discuss with your wife. I mean, if you had a five inch one before and you decide to go for a nine incher she might be a bit put out. But if you had a nine inch one before and you decide only to invest in a five incher this time she might be disappointed. So it's important that she plays a role in helping you make the decision.' So the bloke agrees to talk with his wife and the doctor comes back the next day. 'So' says the doctor 'Have you spoken with your wife?' 'I have.' says the fellow. 'And has she helped you in making the decision?' 'She has' says the bloke. 'And what is it?' asks the doctor. . . 'We're having a new kitchen'

Yeah, very good. Do you reckon that Bertrand has been reading Will Self's The Book Of Dave?

Ok, let's skip to a commerical break and have a Guinness or two with the dubmaster Lee "Scratch" Perry. Guinness

I agree with you Mockney but that is rather stating the obvious isn't it. But fair play to you for saying so.

Oh come on Mockers don't be such a pedant, we are talking about music after all.

Where do I sign?

Thanks for the link to the article Barry. I seem to have most of the stuff he mentions on there too.
