In-form and hungry he'd be handy for anyone. Brilliant player, too bad he's never where he should be physically and mentally. Good business by Rovers in the end. 52 goals in 142 matches for Rovers, that should make him the most prolific goalscorer we've had since Shearer, no? I think Cole managed about the same goals to games ratio, but with fewer games, and Bellamy obviously only played the one season.

Danko Jones seems to have gone back to playing rock'n roll on his upcoming album "Below the belt".. a half-decent song out now, Full of regret. Iggy and the (remaining of) Stooges - original cast - on tour this summer.. looking forward.

Benni isn't a very good striker without support from a second striker - or ideally a quality midfielder or two aswell - and we haven't been playing 4-4-2 this season due to David Dunn and a horrible defensive record. Sam's said the same thing recently, Benni isn't a lone striker and that's why he doesn't play. I think we'll see him more in November.

Oslo Spektrum is an absolutely awful venue, no wonder the crowd was tame. I've seen both Dylan and Motörhead there, and both the two - favourite artists of mine - were decent, but unspectacular. Poor sound quality, terrible refreshment policies and facilities, and just overall a less than good experience. Sounds a bit like Muse, actually.....

Watching Dzeko v Manure... too bad we couldn't get our hands on him, what a player!

Not in Europe though.. Or? Baby, here I am, I'm the man on the scene...

He's not better than Nelsen, but his performances as a bit-part player has been second to none for us. Unspectacular, but very reliable. Good luck to him, he deserves a chance to play regularly, and we need 30k (?) off the wage budget.

Probably a good signing.

Not sure whether this've been mentioned, but Ron Asheton was found dead the other day. Asheton was the guitarist in Iggy & The Stooges (or just the Stooges), a band playing punk rock long before Sex Pistols and the Clash. Raw Power is still one of my all time favourite albums, and Asheton was a brilliant guitarist in his genre. Rest in peace!

There's a fine line between constructing set pieces and penalties by clever movement and just using gravity, and plain diving. The worst for me is the rolling after a dive (or after getting a free kick legitimately), when Eboue or Milan Baros looks like they've taken a bullet in the leg..

Yeah...... Should've taken a long vacation after Appetite for Destruction, in Axl Rose's case an eternal one. Well, "Lies" was allright..

Brilliant film! If someone should make an American version (why would they? it's there for anyone to see as it is!) the director should be Quentin Tarantino.

2h45min This is how long I've been trying to get AC/DC tickets. I've had them twice, only to see the ticket office system crash when I verify my VISA payment. Sold out now. Absolutely gutted!

Saw Kings of Leon this summer, and enjoyed it. Which speaks volumes, I normally hate "stadium concerts". The sun and the beer helped though. But the first KoL album is actually pretty good in my opinion.

Don't really have much to say about the Oasis album, which I guess illustrates what I think about it. To me, Oasis is mostly What's The Story..... and this album didn't really change my view. Motörhead + Airbourne + Witchcraft is a tempting lineup - if only they played somewhere with decent sound. Looking forward to seeing garage rock legends The Fleshtones on Saturday, they line up with two good Norwegian bands here in Oslo. Load up on guns and bring your friends
