Plenty of fantastic new music around today, although not necessarily in the charts (if they still exist).

The problem I have now is that there are no bands. Some fantastic vocalists, but backing tracks everywhere.

Back in the day, every vocalist have a band of musicians behind them.

Just off the top of my head, artists/bands that I have seen live this year without a backing track in sight:

Bombay Bicycle Club
Palace
CMAT
Orlando Weeks
Ryan Adams
Honeyglaze
Thus Love
Tindersticks
Naima Bock

They’re definitely out there.

Imagine making that same list 20-50 years ago.

On my iPad I have about 500 songs that I've accumulated from playing in bands recently and doing house band duties for open mics. If I plotted those songs to decade, it is a sad indictment of what I said. I recently learnt Blinding Lights by the Weeknd on my keys. Put all the synth layers in and it sounded great. I then had to play it on the piano instead to the Tebey country version as the house band wanted to something that worked in a band structure. The lead guitarists still rule the roost in the local scene, but definitely don't at the top of that pyramid anymore.

lol - I should get you to help me with finding some more modern songs for our setlists. I'm working down your list :)
 
Get the hard hats out lads and ladettes.

My thoughts after getting home last night:

1) Spence was class

2) first half and most of second Bissouma was top quality, just everywhere and played such a pivotal role, sort of form we want all the time but just
not often enough seen. Easily the best performance in a while and best player on the pitch until the half

3) United clearly targeted RB with Porro time and time again, every attack down our right

4) we were lucky to go into the lead at half time, they had some great opportunities and some cut backs to Eriksen on edge of the box we were lucky to block and survive

5) lot of Levy / Kulu songs again

6) great start to second half but oh my word… this game man. All I can say is i KNOW it's Angeball and it's intended this way, but just feels so damn needless. Insanity.

3-0 up United were broken. Head down, looking cooked. They were dead and done for, ready to go home. You could see after the 3rd the fight had entirely left their team. I don’t care what players you have in your team, if we had Micky and VDV it is still stupid because it’s unnecessary risk, continually attacking and continually asking players who are not comfortable to do something, to keep trying to do it. As I keep saying, it's not binary, i'm not saying I want Jose Ball ALL GAME. What i am saying is at 3-0 up, play it long, play more defensively and see the game out, hold possession. Ange continually brings this on himself and it’s easy to lose the fan base this way despite the win.

I dont blame Forster, he's being asked to do something he's not capable of. Now at 0-0, i get it. At 3-0, why? why do you need it? We invited United back into that game. I'm not Ange In, i'm not Ange out, i just think it's bordering on stupid now. 2 Days time we face Liverpool. At 3-0 in the 65th minute or so, we could have saved the tired legs we had, sub'd Kulu, play it long, sit back and be more compact, recycle possession and just play out the minutes boring. Instead, Solanke stayed on til he had to come off, Kulu stayed til the end, and we spent 30mins working INCREDIBLY hard both mentally and physically for a game already won.

Sorry, it's stupid, and it's actually pointless when you're in the driving seat and able to dictate the match 3 goals up.
 
He is brilliant value in my opinion:

"I genuinely believe that, I think a big part of our game is about, maybe entertainment is the wrong word but, the game of football is about feel emotions that maybe in your day to day existence you don't get the opportunity to, both exhilarating and both anxious. Football, that's what we love about it. I said before, there's a lot of suffering in there when you're watching a football game, but if you come out of the right side, it's an exhilarating feeling."

It's has me chewing my fingernails all the way down to my knuckles, it has me tearing my hair out, it does my health no good whatsoever. But he's right.

Also I don't think I have ever seen a manager divide so much, even when we win.

Despite the mistakes I honestly thought we were comfortable yesterday, we buried Southampton 5-0 in a half and yesterday were scintillating just after the break.

Deciding the enjoy the journey for better or worse has held me in good stead this season, I am enjoying it TBH

Hmm, is this all bluster to cover for the fact he hasn't been able to garner the tactical skills at Spurs to manage a lead/close a game down without having to keep scoring multiple goals?
There's a point where it becomes a bit of a parody...i guess if he wins this cup, he can turn about and stick it to us fans, the media etc

Eventually if this team doesn't learn to manage a game (whether that be by Postecoglou imparting some tactical knowledge/wisdom, one of the coaches doing so or one of the senior players taking a hold of the team and imparting their knowledge/experience) we will get humiliated by a sharper team than yesterday's Man Utd...

The team were managing but someone made a mistake
It wasn’t the tactics, it was the execution of an inferior player

Surely if he wins why would he need to stick it to the fans? If he wins our first trophy in umpteen years surely he is deserving of praise from his own fans?

Mistakes happen, but you have to admit we started to collapse..we conceded two goals in what 8 minutes after being so comfortable.
The tactics of playing out from the back: risk vs reward, it was the main way that they got back into the game, we can't deny that.
