Hang the DJ

Charming man is a guaranteed dance floor filler and absolute fan club banger. Seen some bodies get loose over that.

Out of interest Where do you draw the line as a professional dj? YMCA? Agadoo? Saturday night? Is there anything you won't play? 

All depends on the venue and crowd and type of night.

Insomnia doesn't really work at Slug & Lettuce Solihull on a Saturday as it's a bar rather than a club.

I could play Agadoo on their 80s night but I think that's a bit too cheesy and it's never been requested.

Popworld in Solihull on a Sunday night is anything goes really - proper cheese is not discouraged.

In Ibiza things are more on the house vibe.

I do play some stuff I don't personally like (Sean Paul for example) but the women tend to love that.

If you keep the punters happy (you can never please everyone of course) then they stay and spend and the bosses are happy and you remain employed, it's a no brainer.

People who state that LCFC have 'completed' domestic football aren't really loyal fans.

I'm not sure I get what you mean? It's not phrase I use, but surely it's just in reference to the remarkable fact a club of our size has won every major domestic trophy in the last 25 years, in a large number of fans living memory. When most Spurs fans that witnessed their last league win are probably dead, when Newcastle haven't won a major trophy since the 60's, Villa and Everton haven't won anything at all since the 90's. It's pretty amazing that since 2000 we have won all 4 major domestic trophies. And its probably something we never thought we do.

Why do you say that? They just mean we've won every domestic trophy relatively recently, I'm not sure why that means they aren't really loyal fans?

But we did?  Need to complete European football now and we can call it a night.

The more I think about this, the more I'm confused. I'm not saying its unpopular, I just can't work out why anyone would think you're not loyal for thinking it we'd completed domestic football. You might not like the notion, you might think the people who think it are morons, but I don't know why you'd think they aren't loyal fans.

Never the Johnstone Paint Trophy IIRC... although we might have won it under a different name.

I understand where you're coming from.

People who say such things just makes me think personally that they'll think of stopping going to league games in the future just because of what Ranieri achieved (and Rodgers under the FA Cup).

Anyway... Chinese take-aways are shit. The same generic menu no matter where I go. Tried a traditional Chinese restaurant in Nottingham once and the "boiled the pig's intestines" or "sheep stomach lining fried with onions and squid sauce", weren't very appealing.

 

Please someone tell me different. I live in Hinckley BTW so I'm limited, I guess.

 

I get that they have adapted their food to meet the western European taste but, surely there's a middle ground.

Children under 3 should not be allowed on normal flights unless the parents either agree to anaesthetise them or to compensate their fellow passengers for any portion of the flight that is made unpleasant by their bullshit.

I find Chinese food bland, I always have a Thai curry if they do it.

Womens football is sh1t. They are weaker and slower and no where near as talented as the men.

 

However, on TV, if I squint my eyes I wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

They clearly have talented players, however I don’t find the matches exciting to watch.

I watched a bit of the Manchester derby and it was a pretty decent game.

I disagree, even though I’d watch a men’s match 9 times out of 10.
 

Women’s football for me is like men’s football in the 70s, before they were properly professional in training and nutrition etc. Men’s football now is 11 athletes vs 11 athletes, some of whom have football talent, all of whom have been drilled to within an inch of their lives. Women’s still features players who like or are good at football, but aren’t necessarily that athletic (by elite standards). There’s also far less time wasting, diving, and bullshit that in men’s.
 

Women’s football will have another George Best/Worthington type character, brilliant but lazy, which men’s never will, which is appealing. But a match can too often be defined by whose keeper is least shit…

I was pitch-side para at an England v Brazil women's match a few years ago. The players had talent but there was little physicality or strength to their play and both goalkeepers were about 5'6" tall and easy to score against. Not a great game to watch. I've seen better when I've been medical cover at LCFC youth team matches.

No, never won it. Played in it once, in League 1, and got dumped out by Rotherham.

Agree. 

 

Children of that age are very rarely in need of travelling that far. I'd say it borders on abuse. The children don't know what is going on. You don't need to be on the Algarve at 3.

Harry Kane is over-rated; has been quite out of form for a while now.

I think self belief plays a big part and HK has always looked, to me at any rate, like a player who believes himself to be a good player. Him being Mr Spurs or whatever feeds into that belief too.

 

Tbh, I can't be objective on anything to do with Spurs.

[drumbeat]

IMHO women's football is best watched as a different game, without comparison to the men's game. In honesty, it took me ages to get there (as I'd think a number of the same things mentioned upthread) but once I had, I was able to appreciate it in its own right 

[bovril]

Don't know how unpopular this is but I think people slightly underestimate what an achievement winning the cup was last year.
