Dire Straits Gerry & The Pacemakers Bee Gees Spencer Davis Group Sensational Alex Harvey Band

Some other bands with brothers: - The Beach Boys Creedence Clearwater Revival AC/DC Van Halen Scorpions (in the very early days)

For years I also thought they were brothers, but Dave & Ansell Collins weren't related. They were Dave Barker (vocalist & DJ) and Ansell Collins (keyboards).

Arsenal, my thoughts......they're a bunch of w*nkers, always have been and always will be. And that's just the fans, don't get me started on the club/team

I agree with that. When Grant was appointed manager/coach (or whatever the hell he calls himself) I stated that we wouldn't win anything this season, and nothing I've seen so far has made me change my mind. We've had some good results and some good performances, but that's more to do with the quality of our squad than anything the new boss has done. We've also had one appalling performance (against Schalke), and a tactical f*ck-up against Everton, where Grant waited far too long to make changes - not to mention the fact he had three strikers on the bench, which severely hampered his ability to change the tactics effectively. I thought his appointment was an embarrassment, and can't see us winning anything with him in charge - unless he was to sit back and just be a figurehead, and leave playing matters to Ten Cate and Clarkey.

I just hate this so-called 4-3-3 system, which invariably turns into 4-5-1 - I was hoping I'd seen the last of it when Mourinho left. Drogba looked crap to me yesterday, but maybe that was because he was left up front on his own with the only decent crosses being provided by Wayne Bridge. To me, playing a system like that at home is criminal, especially when you look at the squad we've got. Sheva and Pizarro have hardly been given a chance at all this season - it's a f*ckin' joke! In my opinion we should go to a conventional 4-4-2, with the middle four changing according to the opposition and circumstances.

I'm not justifying it, just pointing out that there have been plenty of Chelsea players down the years who have made tackles just as bad. F*ck, Chopper could have a DVD all of his own - love the guy, though. Must be honest, I find if very difficult to sympathise with Septic players no matter what the circumstances. Same goes for players from Spuds, Leeds, Liverpool, Manure, Arse, Aberdeen and France.

Lamps played well, but I went for Bridgey, he was brilliant going forward. How the f*ck did Ben Haim get on that list???

Can't believe all the hypocritical b*llocks I'm reading in this thread! Doesn't anybody remember Chopper Harris, Dave Webb, Eddie McCreadie, Micky Droy, Joey Jones, Doug Rougvie, Graham Roberts or Vinnie Jones? Any of whom would have gone in two-footed studs-up against their own grandmother if she looked like going past them!

Franny Lee was a bit of a porker in his days at Man.City - maybe that was why he dived in the box so much, someone had thrown food on the pitch

Sure - Take That Slow - Kylie Minogue I'm pretty sure 'Lola' got to #1 too - depends which chart you use I suppose, NME or BBC

Fame - Irene Cara (1982)

Free - Deniece Williams (1977)

Lola - The Kinks (1970) - did it get to #1, or was it #2?

When - The Kalin Twins (1958)

Paddy Crerand's always been like that - a total c*nt. Even as a player he was an irritating whining sh*t - a dirty player who loved dishing it out, but couldn't take it when on the receiving end The fact that the only two clubs he played for were Septic and Manure just about sums him up And to think that Tommy Docherty came close to signing him for Chelsea back in the 60's To be honest, when I saw the thread title I was kinda hoping he'd died

Haven't seen it, as I make a point of avoiding watching the scum unless they're playing against the mighty Gers. Anyway, I don't think somebody should be red-carded for trying to cripple a Septic player, he should be applauded!

Each to their own - I think the ref hardly put a foot wrong, and if you think Riccy played 'bad' maybe you weren't watching the same game as me.

Well, I gave my vote to Carvalho - he was the only one who played the full 90 minutes who did well. Belletti, Malouda, Lampard, and I hate to say it, but Bridgey too, were all crap. Mikel did well when he came on, as did SWP. Essien was OK, and Joey improved in the second half (he honestly couldn't have got worse). To be honest, I believe the Man Of The Match award should go to the ref - one of the best refereeing performances I've seen in a long time.

I don't speak or understand Italian, but listening to the commentary I did seem to catch the word 'arsehole' just after Crespo missed. Is this now a universal word within football circles?

Dave Mitchell was born in Glasgow in 1962. Weighing in at over 12 stone, he was a slim and aggressive 6' 1" striker, and played for FC Koln, Glasgow Rangers, and Feyenoord before John Hollins had yet another of his managerial fits of dementia and signed him for Chelsea for around ?200,000 in 1988. Mitchell played eight times for Chelsea, but failed to score a goal. He's generally regarded as a crap player by Chelsea fans, and this is borne out by his going to those giants of Europe, Swindon Town, when he left the Bridge. Despite being born in God's own land, Mitchell probably realised that he was never gonna be good enough to represent Scotland, so took his parents' nationality and played 28 times for Australia, scoring 11 goals.

Losing 0-1 already

Ordered "The Soul Of O.V.Wright" from Amazon, and it arrived this morning - f*ckin' brilliant!!! I'd recommend this to anyone who even remotely likes 60's/70's soul. I hasten to add that the album is great sound quality, unlike the following YouTube clip... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t56scndIB2I&mode=related&search=

Just playing "Astral Weeks" by Van Morrison - I'd forgotten what an excellent album this is! "Sweet Thing" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1yFJBmQADb0

Somehow I don't think that necessarily means he, or any of the other players, will be staying indefinitely - after all, we all know how seriously player contracts are taken
