Granddaddy last night at the Albert Hall in Manchester absolutely nailed it off the scale. Played the Sophtware Slump from start to finish and added another 8 songs, added an 8 piece chamber orchestra to the band to do the album's orchestration justice. One of only 4 UK dates on the tour the place was rammed with 2,000 aficienados, the couple next too me were up from Llanelli. As good as it gets That does sound good. Saw Alan Partridge's Strategem show in Brum last night, does that count as a gig? Like all 30min comedy programmes that get extended to film or show length it's difficult to keep as consistently funny, but it was worth seeing. Some classic Partridge moments as always including a reference to the UK as a woman, the midlands being her stomach with "difficult to digest Stoke", one of numerous Stoke references he's made over the years I'm off to see that at the Manc arena in a couple of weeks, managed to drop on seats in the front block for 22 quid each. Looking forward to it Currently watching the Arcade Fire live stream from Koko. Best live band in the world for me at the moment.

Would have been seeing Holy Fuck tonight but the missus is off to see Craaaaig David at the Arena so I've got the kids. Same next week when I'll be missing Blondie & Johnny Marr and Confidence Man as well :-( Just over a month till Primavera Sound though, only been 2 years 3 months since I bought the tickets for it. Went see em in Leeds on Tuesday, bloody brilliant it was. Been waiting 2 years go see em has had tickets in April 2020 but we know what happened next. Spirtualized next Friday, conna wait Nice. Looks a good venue, the Leeds one. Upcoming gigs for me this year are the Strokes at Lytham, Toro Y Moi at the new Century Hall in Manchester, and !!! (chk chk chk) at Band on the Wall. Will try and fit another festival later on in the year an all.

Agree with most of the comments. Very hard to listen to, and the same old commentary about formations again and again.
They should have a rotating co-commentator with no repeats through the season. That'd be interesting. Robert Huth first please.

As pretzel has done, I think we need to use this post to advertise upcoming stuff which might have been missed from usual advertising avenues eg the Sentinel just to put it out there all the stuff which does happen at local venues, if there’s a discount for Oatcake members all the better Have seen tribute acts as diverse as Coldplay, Cher, Lady GaGa, Amy Winehouse, The Jam etc etc locally and can honestly say I’d rather pay £5-£10 on the door and have a couple of drinks for under a tenner than travel to London/Manchester etc and get ripped off paying £50-£100 to stand 100 yards from the ‘real’ performer who you then attempt to watch on a screen, no brainer Or just go and see a band with their own material for the same money?

Currently at Terminal 1 and its absolute chaos. Queue for check in is huge, queue for security is fucking massive. How's it going mate, are you through security yet ? We're supposed to be going in May. I hate Manchester airport at the best of times, absolutely dreading it. Good luck ! Just on the plane now. Delayed of course. I'll not dress it up, it was horrendous. Bear in mind it is Easter though. If its not half term when you go you might be OK. My other half's brother was through security on 15 minutes the other day so it really does vary.

It'll probably be green and black again - the colours of BET365 Gouranga. Then let it be black and green, not green and black

Be nice if they let the fans have a vote on the new away kit. This year's was hideous. I'd be voting for this seasons, its one of the better ones imo. I'd go so far as to say its the worst Stoke strip we've ever had imo.

It’s wank, always hated Manchester airport, much prefer East Midlands or Birmingham. Or Liverpool for that matter I was with you up to East Midlands. Birmingham is a good airport it's just... Birmingham, and as such you can never quite trust you'll get there on time. Flown from Manchester, Liverpool, Bristol, Birmingham, Leeds and East Midlands and Manchester is comfortably the worst, although I've had some dream check ins there on occasions, its always the flight back that seems to have issues with Passport control. Liverpool and Bristol probably the best.

I fly out from Manchester next friday (Good Friday). Our first time taking our 2 year old away. There’s no chance it’s going to go well is there? Just keep calm and go at your own pace. Benefit of going with a 2 year old is that they generally let you on 1st. That said I normally wait till the end of the queue to get on the plane itself, let everyone else fuck about and then get on after. I'm flying to Verona next Monday, give us a wave if I'm still there on Friday lol

Don’t think he is Hardly anyone talks about him, he's fairly low profile Decent player no more than that That's how I think he's generally perceived too Unless I've missed a ton of hype around him? He's in the England Squad, that's enough for me.

Almost as mental as dragging up 18 (!) year old threads up. It was a joke... I take it you've not seen the "mega thread" thread? 🙄 You would be correct
