Re: Liver - Community Shield ...

The sooner the Champions (') League is for Champions only - e.g. MUt and Inter-PSV-Lyons-Oporto (uggh!) etc the better. 3rd & 4th placed sides should be in Uefa League or Cup, and Cup Winners (FA & League Cup eqivalent) should be in re-instituted Cup Winners' Cup. Absolutely. Good luck to a...

I wasn't disagreeing alexv - indeed I was supporting pophead's views on the previous page. I agree with you as well but I haven't seen any corporate greed attacks by Elvis of late. When I do that's when the REAL discussions start...

Interesting to read the BWAP/Otis comments about From The Jam. I'm going to see them tomorrow night in the normally sedate Royal Tunbridge Wells and then I'm going to see The Jamm on Sunday (and on Thursday, having been put on the guest list 8) ). There's a lot of debate about this on the Paul Welle...

Well put pophead. Elvis has changed this century as far as the corporates are concerned - the concert for AskJeeves for example. His latest tour is sponsored by Visa. He has also changed in the company he keeps and I dareday a lot of that is because of Diana. Isn't he managed by Diana's management c...

Having been to the local library at lunchtime, I read Time Out (London listings magazine). There was a full page advert for Justin Timberlake's tour (he is playing the main o2 arena on 8th July) and it shows Timbaland as supporting. Looking on seetickets.com shows that the tickets currently on sale ...

Great setlist. If you went to the toilet/bathroom on a couple of occasions and missed a few songs you could have been forgiven for thinking it was the early 1980s.

I was sure that when I came back the 100,000th post would have been written.

I'll now be keeping a constant vigil so I can be that lucky 100,000th poster (unless s/he has already been chosen :lol: ).

At the time of writing, there are 99,634 posts (99,635 after this one). I wonder if I can get the total number to 100,000 in the next hour :lol: That's only 6 a minute and then a final flurry of a dozen or so.
