Still avoiding the question Neil. How did you know that's who Eavis was referring to? Band source, Festival source you'll be giving nothing away telling us where the info is from/

I can't say, because I would be giving stuff away. :rolleyes:

If I say "festival source", there's limited people who would know and over time of me saying "festival source" Eavis would be able to identify who. If I say "band source" the same applies. You will not bait me via your poor reading to give anything away.

But you'd be surprised where i sometimes get my info. Before now it's been a conversation overheard in a bog - and which was one of the bigger bits of info I've had, and was spot on. The other day I had some that was over-heard in a public open space.

Usually when someone makes an outlandish statement the emphasis is on them to prove it's correct, not for a doubter to prove he is wrong.

I cant prove it, which is why I'm asking Neil HOW he knew

The proof of what I say as a certainty can be seen in official announcements that prove my statement correct year after year after year after year.

That is - logically - the only proof there can be.

Yesiamaduck, why are you answering for Neil? How do you know how his rumours come about

Neil, no one is asking for the name of a source. Just an idea why you thought those 3 bands are playing? I fully expect you to swerve this again btw

Scruffylovemonster, I'm going to try and specify this one more time. I KNOW he never thought those 3 bands were playing. BUT he did think that's who Eavis was referring to. My question is WHY he thought he knew? Who told him?

mrtourette, 11,000 posts and that's your contribution? I've been missing out all these years...

It's my opinion that you imply you know more than you do.

You're welcome to that opinion, just as I'm welcome to the opinion I form of you from all this. :)

I just think it's a bit pathetic.

You're welcome. I'm glad I've made your day.

As are the insinuations that because my opinion is different that I must be from another forum, campsite or have some sort of grudge. I mean come on people, he posts endless rumours, never substantiates them and ends up wrong much more than he's right, why do you have so much faith in him?

you really are very poor understander of words, aren't you? To the extent that your own judgement of me could apply - because yes, your ability to understand even some quite simple things is quite pathetic.

Care to tell me the definition of a 'rumour'?

because I had information from a source or sources who I felt could be trusted that those bands had been loosely lined up.

FFS, what do you think I'd say? That I read it in tea leaves? :lol:

Ok, fair enough.

You all seem happy to believe Neil's claim he has "sources".

You're all happy that sometimes these come to fruition and sometimes they don't, that some are right and some are wrong

You're happy that he keep his sources to himself (even when he overhears it in a bog)

You're happy to take Neil at face value despite absolutely no evidence but you want me to prove he's incorrect

The example I posted is far from the only example and was just that, an example. There have been loads more over the years

And to whoever used Arcade Fire as an example of Neil being right, well he wasn't and he didn't predict them as headliner. They confirmed themselves and up to that point Neil himself didn't think they would play. To "believe" him that they are playing because they are now a TBC ignores the fact they are TBC because they confirmed themselves

If you have enough guesses you're always going to be right some of the time

    • Bit of a rogue one but when Nightwish went on their hiatus a few years ago they didn't rule out doing shows for their 30th anniversary which is next year    Would be a perfect sub for someone like Deftones or even System 
    • With 20 euro discount if booked via Revolut too.
    • Yeah, surprisingly no increase from this year
    • its diabolical already 😞 .... The refs should have walked out in solidarity 
    • The main problem with these is that noone really predicts the shocks that happen in the early knockouts or quarters, so it inevitably gets to like what I put in the semis (France v Spain and Eng vs Arg). You always end up with 4/6 of the top sides reaching the semis, and this is with me 'predicting' Swiss to beat Portugal.   I think we will see a shock result against a top 5-6 team of an African/Asian side knocking a favourite out, and I can see one of the big guns resting heavily for a 3rd group game and ending up 2nd place in their group, which would throw these whole brackets out of whack.   I think the main interesting thing from the brackets, is that if you're only caring about 'likely' group winners, you have France/Spain/Germany/Belgium/Netherlands (who I'm not convinced top group F, that group seems v exciting to me), all on one side of the bracket. Albeit the other side is England/Brazil/Arg/Portugal, but the European giants do seem weighted towards one half.   'best 3rd place' is very hard to call, I suspect there might be 1 or 2 who get 6 points (tied with 2nd) but are there on goal difference/head to head, while others could be on 3 or even 2 points. I also don't actually know if a bunch of these middle-Eastern teams who I've predicted to finish bottom are that bad. I think the ConCaCaf lot who've qualified partially by virtue of the 3 strongest teams all being hosts probably are 0-1 point teams mostly, but I wonder if there's some near-Asian teams I'm underestimating.   I'm honestly really excited though.
