TK made his Belgian debut as an 83rd minute sub against Ireland (just after Sammy was subbed off).

That should add a few 100k to the transfer fee from Luton.

I would be surprised if it does.

Sadly, I watched their performance against QPR and thought they where streets ahead of us. They where absolutely brilliant, especially in attack and everyone knew exactly what was expected.

Funnily enough didn't we do a similar job on QPR at their place? No two games in this division are the same,  I thought everyone would have realised this by now. Rovers are more than capable of beating Ipswich at Ewood. Play like we did against Newcastle and we have every chance.

Didn't know Steve Harley had died!

Second only to Bowie in my teenage music icons.

Gave/sold all my vinyl many years ago but kept about a dozen albums, his live double album being one.

R.I.P. Steve.

 

I must admit mate I've been doing a deep dive into the Cockney Rebel stuff since the sad news broke and my God I can hear all sorts in there that has clearly influenced more modern artists! Its been a bit of a revelation tbh.

Neil Young and Crazy Horse - Don't Cry No Tears Around Me

The Chi Lites - A Letter To Myself

I can see Coventry getting to the final.

Two sad deaths in the music industry over the past week with Steve Harley and Karl Wallinger both passing away. Both of them are much greater than just the couple of songs they are known for. The early Cockney Rebel stuff is amazing and certainly influenced the likes of Peter Doherty, Madness and Blur, among others.

Karl Wallinger had a huge hand in the early Waterboys music and then went on to form World Party. They had a massive hit with Is It Like Today, but his best known song is She’s The One, originally recorded by World Party but covered by Robbie Williams. He moaned about it at the time but I imagine he made a few bob out of it. 
 

RIP to both of them.

Edit: And a mention in dispatches to Eric Carmen, lead singer of The Raspberries who also died recently. He wrote All By Myself, which is well known from the Bridget Jones movie.
