I'd written it off and accepted England has missed the boat for this season. Although Liverpool and West Ham are both winning as I write this so maybe I was hasty, depending on how the rest of the games go.
Nvm both are out. Leaving Aston Villa as England's sole outstanding representative in the Europa League this season, with Emi Martinez doing a classic shithousing his way to the glory.

I think tickets for RAH are usually a bit of a premium? They certainly have been for the few things I've been to.
I don't imagine it's a cheap venue to use for a showTbf I thought there was a premium when Muse played a very expensive warm-up show there in 2018. Then they did Hammersmith Apollo in 2022 and that was slightly more, so... pfft.
St Vincent is pricier than her own Hammersmith show two years ago, but that could just also be partly the fact there's about a dozen different ticket price points available.

Fair! Just assumed they had sold out because they added more and more dates to the original run.
In fairness it's about the same number of tickets as their stadium tour two years ago. But yeah. 3 of the London shows look sold out, 3 others do not.

FA cup replays scrapped. The big clubs get their own way to the detriment of the smaller again
I'm surprised they went so far to cut them in the rounds Premier League clubs aren't even involved with.

I like to think I'm a fairly level headed LFC fan.
Klopp is, without doubt, the best manager we've had in decades and deserves a statue.
The point about it being a "covid title" holds no weight as we were 25 points ahead before football got stopped.
Klopp finished on 90+ points twice and didn't win the league both times, he was up against an absolute juggernaut in Pep's Man City. Any other era and he would have won 3 or 4 titles in a row.
I'm not going to compare him to Fergie who (it pains me to say) is the best ever but I think Klopp is criminally underrated as a result of losing out on 2 PL titles to an incredible Man City team and 2 CL finals to Madrid. If things had gone slightly differently he could be leaving with 3 PL titles and 3 CL titles.
Tbf to Jurgen, it is insane to twice top the 90 point mark but just be unable to stop Man City. Indeed one of those was thanks to John Stones clearing the ball off the line in a Man City v Liverpool game in 18/19 when it had failed to cross by about 2mm at best.

Yeah, that was the one with no fans apart from a trial game or 2 near the end. If Liverpool had beaten Watford (1 of only 3 league losses that season), it would have been over Before the season was suspended.
There were a few games in December 2020 with sub-2k crowds when they were doing the brief and failed experiment with tiers. Plus yes a couple near the end of the season. Both seasons were compromised by covid but I think 2020/21 got it worse.

Whilst I agree they are crazy prices - they aren't really much different to similarly themed The Killers tour; which has sold out across the board.
It hasn't. Some of the Manchester and London shows still had quite a bit of tickets available.

Was this taken during one of the naps he's alleged to have had during his trial's first day yesterday?

So double what I paid to see them at Wembley Arena in 2018 back when the thought of seeing them wasn't sullied by what we know now about Win.
Ouch.

I hope this trend of bands only doing Bristol and London on their UK legs doesn’t catch on!I wasn't aware St Vincent was doing more festivals in Europe but a 4 date European tour seemed on the skinny side.

Everton appealing their 2 point deduction. Also Chelsea may of got around their potential deduction by selling the two hotels attached to Stamford bridge to another company Boehly owns
I thought it was just the one hotel.
Saying that it reminds me of a cavalcade of clubs like Derby, Sheffield Wednesday, Reading, Stoke and Aston Villa who tried to circumvent FFP in the Championship by selling their stadiums to subsidiaries of their owners. Given the first 3 of those clubs have all had points deductions for financial trouble in the last few years and Stoke have yet to finish in the top half of the Championship since their 2018 relegation, it isn't exactly the great company to keep.

"Covid title." Jesus Christ, that's some clutching at straws.
I mean, 2020/21 is the covid title isn't it? Least for Liverpool it was practically won when March 2020 came along.

I was wondering if they'd announce something for here.
Not that I'm planning to go anyway.

I mean, I'd take such a trophy haul as a fan of a club that hasn't won anything big in a while.
Also more than Man Utd have won since Klopp arrived in England tbf. If for different reasons. But I get the point that he arguably could, maybe perhaps should, have won more, even if Guardiola's winning machine was a bit of a substantial opponent.

spurs are going to let arsenal score so many that arsenal win it on goal difference.
They'd have to beat Man City as well to help with that idea, even moreso after their faceplant against Villa just now.

Huh. My instinct was that Liverpool were likelier to win the Europa League than the Premier League, yet such a large faceplant at home to Atalanta doesn't help.
Neither, clearly, does this loss to Crystal Palace where could've scored 4/5 but couldn't even get one in. Maybe the path is opening up for another boring old Man City title after all.

D@b down the Coachella sound engineers
I saw a note during the Japanese House's set that "had technical difficulties for entire set". Take it they've not been much better for others?

yeah, that line 'Both Del Rey and the festival saw a peak in the mid-2010s' is so far off the mark.
It certainly feels that way for Coachella, which had slow ticket sales and seems to have more of a "Eh, so what?" quality to it this year.
I'm not as well versed in LDR's music, so I won't jump in on that argument. Though I was under the assumption her recent releases were well received.

Yeah well I'm just saying inflation rising and wars breaking out in middle east are not helpful to Biden.
I'm perfectly aware of this. I will note there were ME wars during Reagan's decade (notably Iran-Iraq that raged on for most of the 1980s) but the way this situation has escalated in the last six months culminating in the scenes overnight are really far from ideal. Certainly, it will be an extreme test to get them from going further.
Much as I'd feel less on edge if the rest of the world would stop going on about their wish to de-escalate tensions in the region and actually f**king do something that would keep everyone from jumping over the ledge.

good job that he sorted the Iran and Israel problems when he was president.
Trump ruining a deal Obama signed that reined in Iran's nuclear weapons programme just because he wanted to undo Obama's legacy is not ageing well.

my favourite spurs fan was last heard from before today, taking the piss out of ;Liverpool losing the other day. so i've enjoyed taking the piss today.
I did get that joy with a Spurs fan I've known for years that I've on/off spoken with. And a little modicum of getting one back after we conceded four at Spurs back in December.
It was a good result for us tbf, coupled with Manchester United failing to win at Bournemouth later as it means we jump them in the table. Given how much injuries have ruined our season, and during the last international break I genuinely thought we might sink into the bottom half, a top 6/7 finish would be a pretty great result.

well ok...maybe...but I'm not talking about people switching to Trump because of wars or economy (but some will), but just not voting. Maybe I am being over pessimistic and surely Biden will win..but I am not alone in that pessimism...because it isn't fantasyland but could actually happen.
I don't think it's unreasonable to fear a Trump encore because the Republican party base is mad enough to give him another shot at winning an election and the policy looks, if anything, more hare-brained than before.
Equally, some of the discourse in the last few months has talked about a Trump win as inevitable, and given that several people's hunches at this stage of the 2016 & 2020 ballots proved to be wide of the mark, and my suspicion is that it's still 50/50, I don't think it is worth jumping to conclusions just yet. Sure, Biden is not exactly in the strongest condition. But the fact the Republican party is still besotted by Trump when he has an insane amount of baggage and where I think another candidate could well be an easier ticket to them winning in November means I'm not embracing a defeatist outlook on Biden just yet.

"Two-thirds of registered voters say Trump’s hush money charges are serious"
"When it comes to the 2024 presidential election, 41% of registered voters say that they would vote for President Joe Biden, and 37% of registered voters say they would vote for Donald Trump if the election was held today."
https://www.ipsos.com/en-us/two-thirds-registered-voters-say-trumps-hush-money-charges-are-serious
Buckle up for Monday.
Or indeed for however long it takes to reach a deliberation.
Admittedly I'm surprised this is coming to trial first before his various other things, but clearly it's serious enough to possibly put a thumb on the electoral scale.

That could be more of a shout. Maybe also Latitude?
