@hernanfpacheco I think McAusland played his best match for us, although ran out of steam a bit in second half. That Celtic defence is very, very poor. Especially the full backs. But we simply don't have the players up front that can trouble them. So much money spent on that area yet so poor.

@hernanfpacheco That's one of the finest videos ever recorded. Watched it so many times... and I'm not even Argentinian.

@Music__Mentor 1. Dalliance
2. Dare

From the album Seamonsters by The Wedding Present.

It's my favourite tracks 1-10 combo as well though! The perfect album.

[Marianne @sadglamour]

Possibly the greatest singalong of Half a Person ever. Loving Morrissey’s ad libs. My face hurts from smiling. Was such a great night 💖

Thanks to @tansleyjames for running this. And sorry for missing a few days... family holiday in the middle of nowhere left me without reception.

16. Non-album singles/b-sides

- Sister, I'm a Poet
- The Loop
- Pregnant For The Last Time

Jack The Ripper. A mere b-side; a mere work of genius. Just how good is this live?

7. Maladjusted

- Maladjusted
- Alma Matters
- Satan Rejected My Soul

An album that I play quite often as I really like some tracks, but I'll skip half of it every time. And I'm delighted Sorrow Will Come In The End isn't on my copy.

6. Southpaw Grammar

- The Teachers Are Afraid Of The Pupils
- The Boy Racer
- Southpaw

Shostakovich sample; banana prop fun; an outro that's The Wedding Presentesque in length.

Also has a song with a 2-min drum solo. Think Morrissey had fun with this album

@0lIyB Here's a nice wee read about the album I stumbled across not too long ago:

5. Vauxhall and I

- Now My Heart Is Full
- Why Don't You Find Out For Yourself
- Speedway

A masterpiece. Favourite opener. Favourite closer. And WDYFOFY has my favourite vocal performance by anyone, especially the last verse.

4. Your Arsenal

- We'll Let You Know
- The National Front Disco
- I Know It's Gonna Happen Someday

A brilliant album that I had some difficulty narrowing down to 3 songs. But these probably edge it due to the depth of their quality.

3. Kill Uncle

- Our Frank
- Sing Your Life
- Mute Witness

An album that contains some of my absolute favourite Morrissey tracks (these three) as well as my absolute least favourite. Anyways, here's Sing Your Life sung live:

2. Bona Drag

Three incredible songs, all could only be Morrissey. Here's Will Never Marry.

1. Viva Hate

Alsatian Cousin
Everyday is Like Sunday
Suedehead

Apologies to Maudlin Street but the 2 singles are too good, and Alsatian Cousin is a masterpiece. Here's a live version of a song showing Morrissey at his creative best:
