From this week’s Time Out (summer festival special):
Q. Do you all play crowd-pleasing festival sets?
Tim [Wheeler, from Ash]: It’s for the masses, y’know, so I think you’ve got to play the hits.
David [Gray]: I’ll be doing “Please Forgive Me”, and, I dare say, “Babylon”.
Gruff [Rhys, Super Furry Animals]: Um… we don’t really have any hits.
To Loftus Road, on Saturday, to see Everton do their best to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, and throw away their last chance at a European place next season. After Everton’s Alan Stubbs had put the ball past Richard Wright for the first of our two own goals, the Fulham supporters broke out into a chorus of “there’s only one Alan Stubbs/there’s only one Alan Stubbs/one Alan Stubbs….”
Nice to see Yahoo news carrying this picture of England’s finest “restraining” a young chap during yesterday’s May Day protest.
Wearing an 8 year old Oasis T-Shirt is clearly a serious offence these days.
Makes you proud, doesn’t it?
The word “probe” is one of those horrible tabloid headline words. Not only is it over- (and mis-) used in headlines, it also fails to tell you anything.
Anyway, I was amused to see how the people over at BBC Sport have chosen to cover the story that the incident involving Everton’s Duncan Ferguson, his elbow and the head of Aston Villa’s Joey Gudjonsson in last week’s match has been referred to the FA video panel. They went with the following headline:
“Ferguson faces elbow probe“.
An elbow probe huh? Hmm. Sounds intriguing. I wonder how that’s administered. Does Mr Gudjonsson get to do it himself in some kind of revenge incident?
