Saddened to see this.  In school days, we all had a 'second' team, and Wimbledon were my 2nd outfit.  Used to be fascinated by how a seemingly level-headed and nice guy could be overseeing the crazy gang.
Recall reading in some soccer mag at the time after something outrageous Vinnie Jones was after saying or doing that Joe's take was 'He's a nice guy, Vinnie- just doesn't have the brains of a flea!'
RIP Joe.

Congratulations!!
I live in renewed hope!!😅

Jesus.  I've had a day where, for different reasons,  I had no glance at X/ Twitter, and heard no news.  Just spent the last half hour reading back over about 10 pages here.  A classic 'Did I miss anything?' episode for me...

It will be interesting to see what happens.  A lot depends on what's happening with clubs around them.  There could be a seamless enough transition because there are a lot of talented young lads there, but some big names in big positions to be replaced.  If United, Arsenal aren't progressing fast enough,  then Liverpool will get away with more leeway.
If Arsenal can establish themselves as the prime contender against City, and I'm hoping that Utd can improve in the next couple of seasons,  then that would really up the pressure on Liverpool to keep the consistency they have shown, and there could be potential to fall back.
Real Madrid and Bayern Munich probably the only 2 clubs due to relative scale within their own leagues that would be insulated against a significant longterm falling away.  I think City post Guardiola could possibly go into a severe tailspin, especially if there was anything to come out of FFP or the likes.

Class tune, they have some brilliant songs, very underrated.

One hit wonder, could never get why it wasn't bigger.  Really clever lyrics as it tells the story (apparently) behind the Naked Cowboy in Time Square.

F*** Clifford anyway, ruined my draw prediction!

Next fcuker who says "smashed it"

Yes, this is a quality comment, of the highest standard. You...are absolutely correct.

There always seemed to be an Oasis anthem each year for Rag Week. (Can't even remember the years in this title, so forgive me for taking liberties!!)
There seemed to be such a sense of 'newness' between genres, bands and artists.  Suede, Placebo, Massive Attack vs Blur or Oasis (Wha'!!!), vs Smashing Pumpkins, Radiohead vs  REM, U2 still doing their thing, DJs and dance/ trance, and loads of other satellite bands/ artists going in whichever direction from those.
The Trainspotting soundtrack, and Tarantino soundtracks. 
So much happening,  so many great memories.
