No goals in 5 games

I’ve been one of Southgate’s biggest defenders, but I have also never been optimistic about our chances in Qatar. The timing and climate is against us and I can’t see how we can perform in the conditions over there, I’ve already written it off mentally.

People dislike Southgate because he’s pragmatic, thoughtful and not the jingoistic “passhun lads!!” manager that stupid people think is all you need to succeed at this level. People seem to think you just cram an XI full of the likes of Grealish, Foden, whoever else this week’s clamour is for and plain old English spirit will take care of the rest.

Whatever happens in Qatar he has been the most successful England manager in my lifetime, that is a fact. Compare where we are now and how far we’ve come to the shitshow he inherited.

People think a semi and a final in two tournaments is somehow not good enough for a side who have routinely crashed out quarters at best for most of the last three decades. Southgate has been great for this country, and whilst I agree that it probably is time to move on he has laid solid foundations for the next guy to improve on…

… and no I could not give any less of a fuck about the Nations League.

Gotta be the year Glastonbury finally gets her right? Perfect mid/high act for Other a-la Olivia and Kacey this year.

Anyone off to the Ian Brown karaoke night tour? Looks very funny to be fair.

[EamerRed]

Christ. I can understand the quality issue - he's never been a great singer and seeing him is more to do with the strength of the songs. But no band?! Is that the case for the whole tour?

He's singing all the right notes, just not necessarily in the right order. 

[Hugh Jass II]

Brown really seems to have gone off the rails since the Roses packed it on again. There was that absolutely abysmal last album, then the various insane conspiracy theories and Covid bullshit and now touring with just a backing track.

Sad to see.

[EamerRed]

Quite liked From Chaos to Harmony tbf.

[gfa]

Band probably don’t want to be associated with him 😂

[Hugh Jass II]

Did he at least break the nunchucks out?

No nunchucks, just curses

Don't give birth to a dickhead and they've got away with it then.

[FakeEmpire]

I have tickets for Ian Brown in Birmingham next week. I've always known he's a shit singer and a bit of a dickhead but figured that with a decent band behind him,  it'll be a good night out. 

It makes no sense at all for an artist like him to not have a band as it just draws attention to the vocals.

Yeah don't underestimate the cost saving if your entire venue rider is just a single mic and something to play a backing track on. Not just on the cost of the band itself, but all the gear and the crew to set up all that gear. They can drive from gig to gig in his car, no tour bus needed.

The entire tour crew is likely him and a mate who drives him around and presses play at the right points. Wouldn't surprise me if there was no tour promoter involved either.

He could just play the backing track off his phone to the PA if he wanted to save a few more quid.

Stevie Wonder did similar in Dublin a few years ago. Sang some stuff, then stopped the show and played Amy Winehouse, Bowie and Jacko over the PA while him and then band just sat there not playing.
