I think if any of us had done the whole season we would have a few dodgy ones as well. His predictions are not that terrible, considering he always backs the big teams (who win a lot more than they lose) he will naturally get a lot right. To think man u and man city would only lose 1 game between them all season is a bit silly though, I am not sure that has ever happened in europes top leagues.

Interesting to see Howard Webb has been allocated the Man Utd match this weekend!

I bet if you looked at the bookies odds over a season and did a league table you would get the same exaggeration top/bottom half as well. The main problem with his predictions seem to be to me that it looks like he makes his mind up about a team before game 1 and has the same opinion to game 38.

Just been reading about players moaning about the Europe League, Wenger backed it up and said it's a good competition etc.

Wouldn't it make sense to put the winners of the Europa into the Champions League the next season? It would transform the worth of the competition instantly and it's hardly like the winners of it are normally sub-standard...

In fact it would also make domestic cups suddenly become a lot more useful as they would open up a route to the top table...

I think it's a good competition, we just don't take it seriously over here.

And yes, I reckon it would. I said that to someone a couple of years back. If you're going to have it as the inferior competition, you ought to provide extra motivation to win it once you're in it.

I still don't get how it's dropped in prestige so much since it was the Uefa cup. Is it just because English teams have done better in the Champs in the last 8 years?

      2027 Headliners

      By incident · Posted

      Any festival is going to face most of the same limitations just by the nature of the event. It's not realistic to accommodate custom staging that extends out deep into the field. Trying to do so and trying to rebuild those kind of structures at the front of the field every day would severely impact on other performers, potentially even including other headliners. It'd also drive everyone involved insane. The most you can get away with is a basic extension that doesn't hide anything fancy. Remember that a lot of the time on these big choreographed shows, the stage extension itself will contain all manner of things to help the show beyond just being a simple platform. Also remember that these structures are designed to be assembled and operate on perfectly flat stadium or arena floors.   In terms of the stage itself - yes, the Pyramid is undersized (I believe 16 metres wide at rigging level). The de facto industry standard has become 20 metres and so it likely does need increasing and apparently there are plans to do so. But that only helps with artists that can largely confine themselves to the stage.   The Other Stage is already 20 metres - to be exact the Other Stage structure is the same model that Serious Stages provide to Reading, Leeds, Download etc for use as their Main Stage and there's nothing larger (at least off the shelf) in their catalogue. So no reason to change that.

      Can someone remind me, on Harry Styles specifically - have we had any concrete info on him?   I don't personally remember saying much/anything on him, though I have just been away for a month, so could be forgetting something.
