Lover of popular music but always wanting to find out more. That golden period between 1978 and 1985 is where my heart lies but always willing to try something else.

Being given access to Justin Currie's Tremolo Diaries has been a privilege. I just hope my review does it justice. Thanks to @peteselby.bsky.social for trusting me with it. @newmodernbooks.bsky.social

Condemnation
It could have been anything from Songs Of Faith and Devotion one of my most played albums of the 90s and easily my favourite Depeche Mode album.

This is the one that gets my Christmas juices flowing. The year of my 10th Christmas. It doesn't matter what a cynical, can't we do Christmas every four years?, tired old Grinch I've become. This gives me the briefest fuzz of excitement and wonder. I got a Mitre leather football by the way.

England deserve a tide of goodwill, yet somehow Jude Bellingham is still a target | Jonathan Liew
England deserve a tide of goodwill, yet somehow Jude Bellingham is still a target | Jonathan Liew
It’s hard to disagree with Ian Wright when he suggests the midfielder has been subjected to a timeworn double standard
Sir Alex Ferguson was there. Bryan Robson was there. Eric Cantona was there. The manager Ole Gunnar Solskjær was there, and yet even as these four club legends sold the dream of Manchester United to a 17-year-old from the Midlands, they could sense the elusiveness, the coldness, the drop of the shoulder. The nagging suspicion that, like so many defenders Jude Bellingham would later encounter, they too were grasping at pure air.
“He had it planned out,” Solskjær would later remember. “He knew what he wanted. X amount of minutes in the first team. The most mature 17‑year‑old I’ve ever met in my life.” Though five years have passed since Bellingham turned down United for Borussia Dortmund, for me this is still the story that explains him best of all. The origin myth. This is what you all think I’m going to do. So I’m going to step that way instead. Continue reading...

I can't overstate how much every girl at college in 1981 wanted to look exactly like Susan on this picture sleeve. Going to the Christmas disco that year was like going to a Susan from The Human League convention. Bloody right too.

Madueke starting his post-match interview by thanking the Lord and his Saviour Jesus Christ. Hard to think of an English club, now or before, in which so many players have been driven by their (Christian) faith as this Arsenal team: Noni, Eze, Saka, Gabriel, Martinelli, Ødegaard and others.

Roberto Martinez said on Sky the other night that the Portuguese national side are playing for Jota. He also acknowledged that everyone is different and needs to cope in their own way. He was very respectful as you'd expect. I imagine the new players feel like they're intruding on personal grief too
