Totally agree, and it is a rare thing for a Marvin Gaye original to be bettered by a cover version! From an old Jam fan, there can only be one follow-up to that.... In The City - The Jam -

The Relegation Thread
oldjamfan1 replied to roverandout's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
I don't think there is a single person on this message board that wants anything else my friend (at least I hope not!). Having spoken to a couple of people who were at the game today whose judgement and inside knowledge of professional football matters far exceeds mine, and they said that there was an energy about the team that has been missing for a couple of years (I think they were being kind on that one, its more like 4 or 5 in my view!). I appreciate that we were playing a lower league side, but nonetheless, I am encouraged by that. I posted last night that Rhodes' departure might have a galvanising effect and it looks like it did. RTID!! -

The thing is Stuart, we've been in this division long enough now to know that you could take a snapshot of your next 6 games at any point in the season, and depending on your mood or form, make a case for winning or losing all of them. The only one out of that lot I would say is difficult to foresee us getting a result in is the first one. We are fully capable of beating Hull at Ewood, and going to Ipswich and Derby and picking something up. Even despite what us fans see as abysmal form, there won't be that many teams fully confident of turning us over. The games we've lost have been tight, hard fought, narrow defeats (apart from when we went down to ten men early on away at MK Dons). Its the old half-full/half empty conundrum I suppose. -

Think you're meant to change the re-used word (e.g. white was the word I had already used from the previous song) Hey ho, how's about Billy Paul - Me and Mrs Jones -

In the context of what KP did (and it was far from the first time - I think he had gone way beyond the 'bad apple' level) I don't see how you can differentiate between amateur, professional or elite sport. Doesn't matter how good you are, there are some things you just can't do and expect to remain in a team. In slightly different circumstances two other sports have seen geniuses have to suffer similar premature ends to their careers because of persistant behavioural issues with the demise of the two great Northern Irishmen, Higgins and Best (RIP both). KP aside we do need someone to step up in that top order.

My Sweet Lord - George Harrison -
Don't think many people would argue that ability-wise he is better than anything England currently has (with the notable exception of Root)but he's burnt his bridges with the England set up. That said I don't agree with the way they dangled a carrot in front of him last year to then snatch it away, but he REALLY @#/? people off.

As a test match player, without question he is.

And therein lies the problem. On a similar note I was really sad to hear of the death of Wayne Harrison - my brother played against him many times - he was tipped for great things but a succession of injuries and freak accidents conspired against him. http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/news-and-comment/ian-herbert-tragic-tale-of-wayne-harrison-shows-football-is-more-about-those-who-get-discarded-along-9030917.html

Not sure why you feel that way about the poster's claim Bob, but a mate of mine was queuing behind Lemmy at an ATM in London many years ago and got chatting to him. They ended up playing pool and drinking together for two hours in a pub across from the bank, and there are photos to prove it, so Lemmy clearly wasn't averse to slumming it.
