Little band called Coldplay topping the bill on the Saturday evening.
Eh. Too obscure for my tastes.

Mannequin Pussy sound great and definitely are guitar based. Agree though that this genre is thin in the ground this year (so far at least) after being spoilt last year.
They're doing a gig in a small venue in Milton Keynes, near to where I live, on the Friday of Glastonbury weekend. Worth getting in on it?

£111.70 for arcade fire? Sod that
Clearly enough people were willing to fork that over given I got advertised a second night also taking place at Brixton for July 5.

Fontaines arena tour
£51 for ally pally
Interpol was £53 for their show at the same place there in November, while The National at the same venue last autumn was £58. Seems like the going rate there now.

Can see him doing a couple of big o2 shows or similar, as per GFA though, I don’t think his audience are festival going types, those who’d got to R&L anyway.
IOW perhaps?
That could be more of a shout. Maybe also Latitude?

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.

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.

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.

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?

I know a few in this thread are Aldershot fans so what do you guys make of Gateshead being denied a play-off spot but Aldershot also being denied the chance to sub in for them?
