ewerk 32821 Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 15 hours ago, Holden McGroin said: Lloyd Kelly gets a start for Juve in CL playoff tonight. Oof. After the full-time whistle, Italian outlet CalcioMercato gave Kelly a disappointing 4.5 rating out of 10. They added: “Very complicated first half, second half started with courage until Perisic hits him in fear of making a mistake. Basic dribbling, offload to the near post. Him? He just watches.” Kelly’s 4.5 rating was the lowest given to any Juventus player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It actually encapsulates a lot of how I even felt at the time. And I feel qualified to comment as I was actually young and very into music and various scenes back then. Not exclusively related to MDMA consumption. He nails it with ‘Britpop’ in general, with so many of the bands not floating my boat at all. I think I mentioned on here previously about me and a group of mates pudding ourselves laughing at a contemporary news report about the battle for the number one spot between Blur and Oasis. As we were a group of young lads for whom it meant absolutely nothing. The mentioned death of Diana provoked something similar. Not laughter but just a bemusement at how everybody was forced to care so much. Why? I honestly barely gave a fuck and most people my age I knew weren’t arsed beyond a morbid fascination. As to the main topic of Blur - they were alright. I quite liked Damon. But they only did a handful or so of good songs. The albums were generally shite, man. And I gave them a go on the basis of the songs I did like. Them and the rest of Brit pop isn’t my idea of what was good about the 90s.

With a few exceptions With the benefit of hindsight I think the LAs and The Stone Roses were the best of the Britpop. And they only made one great album each (the Las only made one album in total). Maybe Oasis in third place as I thought Definitely Maybe was a great record, but I pretty much hated everything they did afterwards. Probably because of Wonderwall and them being massive cunts.

Meenzer 16301 Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 I suppose it's a combination of timing, opportunism and (perceived) musical influences. So they were more Britpop than the Manics or Therapy? but definitely less Britpop than Menswear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit like the same lazy London centric journalists went on about the 'toon army' like they'd just discovered the secret, magic password, I'm still suspicious to this day about any NUFC fan that calls us that seriously, it was just 'how'd the toon get on?' and that sort of stuff. 'toon army' another 90s invention like there being a different version of howay/haway if you're Geordie or mackem. Total fabrication. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howmanheyman 36128 Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 You can add Knopfler's tune as well to that, not just a 90s invention but 90s invention by Alan 'fucking' Robson. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
