I don't think you had 'a Leeds-based independent brewery creating a brown ale in his honour' on the list of things that could cap the few weeks Big Dan Burn is having but here you go. Quite a fitting tribute in what surely must be his Leeds days.
Goals you'll have forgotten about ๐ฅ
In the 1995 Cup Winners' Cup final, Nayim scored this stunning goal to help Real Zaragoza beat Arsenal 2-1 in the Cup Winnersโ Cup Final ๐
@Byronchenko@jack_eyes@SimFromBucks Love that I knew who you were talking about without seeing the initial tweet. What a catchphrase "sit down you cunt" is
@ThatChris1209 @iamtheavalanche No judgement on anyone who's willing to pay, my girlfriend is going with a group of friends, just surprised I haven't seen much outrage. I'd quite like to go but can't bring myself to give them that extra money, particularly when they're clearly not investing it in organisation
Are people ok with how much Slam Dunk tickets cost now? When I went in 2019 it was about ยฃ65 (ยฃ59 face value). ยฃ65 to ยฃ135 (or presumably ยฃ149 if buying a few days before like I did in 2019) in five years seems absolutely insane, even within the context of rising prices
@GemStGem I somehow avoided that in 2004, despite the fact that at the same festival they showed England v Portugal on a big screen and I was drunkenly celebrating Portugal winning in a field full of England fans
The only time I saw Oasis was an apparently notoriously bad performance at Glastonbury 2004 so maybe I've got unfinished business but on the other hand they did six off Definitely Maybe plus Acquiesce and weren't in their 50s at the time so I might be best leaving it at that
@jack_eyes From the bit I've read about it it sounds like it's that awful accounting shite where taking his value off the books helps more than the money they receive, which is a ludicrous system
@iamtheavalanche I've probably only seen them once or twice at festivals but then I was never a big fan anyway, just quite liked a few of the hits. Nostalgia definitely goes a long way with that type of thing
@iamtheavalanche I'm fairly certain Oasis will be bad, it's a shame as the good songs are still good but Liam's live singing has been dreadful since about 1996 unfortunately
@iamtheavalanche Each to their own but I just don't see the point of seeing a band live if they're that bad at the basics of playing their instruments and singing. I'd rather see a covers band do the songs competently
@iamtheavalanche Did you not see Blink at Reading? I know they were always terrible live but fuck me, if you think Oasis are going to be bad. It was like they'd never heard the songs before
The finish line of the triathlon is always one of my highlights of the Olympics, they all look like they're on the verge of death. Incredible finish from Yee
@iamtheavalanche @kentwix12 Yeah, I was just having a look too as I couldn't remember much beyond it being huge, it doesn't look like the type of place FIFA would usually use
@iamtheavalanche @kentwix12 I remember seeing the Longhorns stadium when I was in Austin and it's massive. I can never get over how ludicrously big some of their college stadiums are
@AshDigsFilms @iamtheavalanche @jack_eyes The Leeds date is a Saturday which definitely added to the appeal, don't think I'd have travelled for them again or gone on a weeknight
