Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?
Not even And That's No Lie?
You're a harsh and brutal man, Wibble.
ETA: Love Smooth Operator, bill.
And although I've posted it many times in many threads, it must be posted here too:
I knew you had good taste Waltraute.
I haven't gone through the whole thread yet but has anyone posted any songs from the Over the Top soundtrack? If not then it's criminal.
Yeah, it's a fantastic song, so good in fact that a dance version was made. Have you heard it?
Thanks, GB. Sorry for the mistake.
Not a 'power ballad' or 'love song' but a quality 80s tune nonetheless:
also this one is a blast from the past:
as the comments say below the youtube clip, the timings and musical structure are pretty damn good

I have it on my iPhone. It's about my favourite Depeche Mode song, both versions.
No. I'm afraid not. They went to 80's pop for me. I didn't mind a few tracks off the Luxury Gap but Penthouse and Pavement is where it is at for me.

Waterboys - Whole of the moon is brilliant, by far my favourite out of that lot.
Some of those I love and some I like mainly just because they remind me of the 80's. And others like Safety Dance are shit but still really remind me of the times.
I don't think that they have and I can also guess a reason.
But why Wibble?
I'm thinking that the songs on that soundtrack weren't the very best that the 80's had to offer.
I call Bullshit.
Just listened to this tune for the first time in ages.
1985 FA Cup final! Norman Whiteside! Pure joy!
And love Kotton Crown!

She's got cheekbones like geometry and eyes like sin
And she's sexually enlightened by cosmopolitan. . . that's perfect skin

I loved that, still play it now
Yes, it's magnificent.
Listening to old tunes and reading the 'Good political books' thread in the General brought this to mind
On a happier note!
ETA: Had a look at the comments; bad idea!
Humanity, ffs!
1991
another from the early 90s but I think some 80s genres carried over a bit.
Early Madchester classic.

R.E.M. - Wendell Gee
I always, always cry when they come to
He had a dream one night
That the tree had lost its middle
So he built a trunk of chicken wire
To try to hold it up
Every single time.

The drama I've witnessed with this song in the background!
And cheers for reminding me to spoil, I always forget.
Oh No the Commodores.
