Oooh, I could add more Beatles tunes if we went top 20. Not the best band ever. Not the best band of the 60s. Not the best band that starts Bea.

That's the spirit!

So we've had the lists of favourite songs, this is most hated songs. It's inspired by a recent WhatsApp group family chat where my parent-in-laws are having a party for their 60th anniversary and the grandchildren have been asked what songs they'd like to sing and one of my nieces has declared she's going to sing what I consider to be the worst song of the 21st century. Note, the title is most hated... I had a think about this. Sometimes a song can be a mess, or have little musical merit, but be a lot of fun. Sometimes a song, by its very hitting all the right notes in the right order as you'd expect, can be very dull. So this is the top five songs that really make you want to smash the speaker it's coming out of. Unlike my favourite songs, this doesn't change too much from day to day. Here's mine: Easy On Me - Adele (the aforementioned worst song of the 21st century - whiny, self pitying dross from someone who actually can sing.) The Writing's On The Wall - Sam Smith (quite how this is the only Bond theme to get to no. 1 is beyond me. (Honourable mention here for Scaffold too.)) Get Here - Oleta Adams (it's a list of modes of transport, that's all it is!) Saturday Night - Whigfield (though this could be in part down to the ridiculous dance that accompanies it. (Honourable mentions for the Cha-Cha Slide and any Black Lace song for the same reasons.)) Hey Jude - The Beatles (Oh yes! The tuneless, uninspiring monotonous drone of a dirge that has inexplicably become linked to the football club I support simply because one of our worst ever (deffo bottom 3) managers (Martin Allen) decided we should play it to inspire our players (it didn't and still doesn't) and which has hung around like a fetid fart long after its issuer has disappeared.) Five excellent choices I feel.

Sod it, let's go proper old skool, 2-3-5: Mav Bilal Edouard Vardy Fatawu Buannanote Winks Ricardo Vestergaard Faes Hermansen Chaos and lots of 5-5, 7-5, 4-8 type results!

You don't know how to play the game. You cheat and you lie; you make me want to cry.

Or you trying to say that you're not? It would explain so much.

Surely voles should be in Banks' novels?

Not that long ago.

Why has her upcoming book got votes in it?

I doesn't matter who votes for Trump as the result will be rigged. Unless he wins.

Your problem is that you suffer from Trump derangement syndrome... ... though?

We are the kings of drawing 2-2! And conceding 8 goals!

Nah, the context is the same. Of course the monies were less, but the rules were different. I'm fairly confident that Peter Taylor never even dreamt of having a massive payoff... yet we didn't get rid of him until it was too late. Follow that with the 2007-08 season, 4 managers in one season, none of whom were remotely competent. Now THAT was embarrassing. We fell out of a fairly small elite club that we can never get back into, cos it's a club that can only ever get smaller. Our fall from grace has been bad, but I pretty sure that the only people who think "it was the worst evah!" are City fans. Brutal truth moment. No one Else Cares

I didn't have to scroll through the archives. I remember it and I apply context and perspective, not just what happened recently. Henry Ford said, "history is bunk." Henry Ford was an idiot. If you don't know who Henry Ford was, well.. that's kinda his fault.

How about a Reader's Husbands Letters one?

Was it though? Just looking at our own history we've managed to be top of the table and get relegated in the same season. Blackburn were relegated within 4 seasons of their EPL title. Bristol City and Wolves suffered triple consecutive relegation in the 1980s. I'm not wearing rose (blue) tinted specs - but far too many are wearing whatever the opposite of that is.

But a Fab would melt in summer.

Does no one read fiction any more?

We're the players at South Shields, Southampton, Stockport, Stoke, Sheffield Weds and Wolves much bigger than the other teams, or did they just have very baggy kit?

That was the Old Baby Squad.

There should be some kind of law that requires a company to set a publicly advertised ceiling price that is higher than the release day price that essentially says, "this is what you could pay if you don't buy early."

To Germany?

Tbf, the UK were potentially going to send migrants to Rwanda.

As I said earlier, "failed to ensure their players behaved in a proper way," means exactly the same thing, but is much easier to understand.
