The Nal

Yeah I remember my first Glasto getting a "free" booklet with the schedule and thinking that was unusual after paying a tenner for a program at Irish festivals. I dont mind not having the stage times now. We sort of know whats what. And we'll know before the gigs. Its perfectly reasonable to assume that there'll be changes up until the last minute. All of these bands, crew staff etc all still have restrictions to go through before they play. Getting gear into the country, get swabs, passenger locator forms, close contacts, flights change (as mine did for EOTR- 1 cancelled and 1 delayed) etc etc. Having been away last week traveling a bit (and thats just me and Mrs Nal) there are just so many moving parts. Changes can happen right up until the last minute. Even 10 minutes could knacker someones plans. "Oh on Monday you said they were on at 6pm but they actually came on at 5.50pm and I missed my favourite song, thanks EOTR!" etc. Sometimes they cant win. They dont really want people just rocking up 5 mins before the gig though. They want people in early preferably, watching the support band, buying booze, merch etc. I dont really have a problem with it. I kinda like the Axl Rose approach to gigs.

Maybe they dont know 100% yet? Can only imagine the madness in EOTR HQ at the moment.

Be kind of fun if they didnt announce them until we got there

Sunday looking like a total wash out now. Really windy too.

Honestly no idea. Ronaldo will play though. Every league and CL game. Cavani will want to play too obviously. And he should, so.. Maybe this?

A lot of people writing of Liverpool. If VVD, Mane, Salah and Firminho stay fit theyve as good a chance as anyone. I think we may see a "whats his best 11" conversation happen at Utd until Xmas after a few dodgy results. Big test to see if Ole can manage all that talent now. Very competitive top 4 for the first time in years.

10 good games from 16 is a great return for Lingard.

Probably not. Would you have him back for 15m?

Low pressure rolling in, could be a total wash out.

Only seems to communicate in tweet dumps, which should be banned IMO. Tweets are for Twitter Yeah but theres so much the younger lads (like Lingard) can learn from those two. Not sure, but the squad is looking like having an average age of Fergies magical 28. Im sure someones done the maths somewhere. Messi's PSG debut tonight.

Wow. What an idiotic thing to type and then hit "submit"

Man Utds stock went up in value by £210m yesterday. Not signing Ronaldo if you can is silly. He'll be the best player in the league this season. And likely the next one too. Anyone thinking otherwise hasnt been watching Italian football over the last 3 seasons.

Rain creeping into AccuWeathers forecast now...

YRs forecast this morning for next weekend is grim.

Squid are great fun live. 3 or 4 absolute bangers and high energy aswell. It looks like the may be clashing with Field Music which is a major bummer.

Ill be checking out some of this. Folky Bert Jansch, John Fahey type guitar stuff.

I usually do a few 50/50 splits anyway. Will defo be doing a few this year aswell it seems.

Some of the clashes in that poster at first glance

Yeah but, Ronaldo. They made half that back in the first weekend in shirt sales. And hes broken a load of Serie A and Juve records since. Most goals in a season, fastest ever to 50 goals etc. 100m for Lewandowski in todays market though, yeah I suppose. A goal machine and hes never injured.

100m for a 33 year old?!

Covid?

Aha Yeah me too, usually very good. Reviewer seems like some butthurt Czars nerd. Kinda person who wouldve slated Ram because its not the Beatles.

Where did you see this?

Allmusic (who have intoduced me to loads of cool new shit over the years) must've been on the sauce when they rated his records https://www.allmusic.com/artist/john-grant-mn0000218781/discography

Id love to see just him and the piano on the Garden stage. Like this.
