Hey all, haven't posted too much, mostly due to laziness, bone idleness more like, but as a few of you know, I managed to make my first home game in a year ( =/ ) against 'Boro. I thought we definitely didn't deserve to lose, and here's some comments on the team; Also, while I'm at it, check out my bands ep, www.facebook.com/diveexit, let me know what you think guys! Its pretty straight rock but all songs are different so give em a go! Anyway, City.... 01 Marshall - 6/10 Good shot stopper as usual, but I'm not a fan of his distribution, he kicked the ball to himself against Coventry and didnt look a thousand times better against Boro. 02 McNaughton - 6/10 One of my favourite players, but seemed to think he was Chris Burke the way he was playing, I think, despite his attacking prowess, he focused more on scoring than stopping the other team scoring- not as brilliant as usual. 03 Taylor - 7/10 - Didn't really notice him bar a few excellent sliding tackles, that being said his lack of pace showed and I nearly gave him a 6/10 05 Hudson - 6.5/10 - Not as brilliant as usual, but put in a pretty decent performance. Made a few key errors but made up for it with a few good challenges. 25 Turner - 7.5/10 - Ive never seen Mr Turner play before and I was hugely impressed with his presence on the pitch in defence. Nice header, looks like a good signing. 07 Whittingham- 9/10 - Wow. Every time Whitts touched the ball he exuded class, he hardly gave the ball away, and I've never seen him work that hard before. What a class act. Maybe a bit generous with a 9, but he has so much quality. 08 Cowie - 6/10 - Showed quality in bits but altogether looked a bit tired. Needs a rest, but is a real workhorse. 11 Conway - 7/10 - Same as above re. tiredness, but cut in past their defence a few times and seemed very dangerous on the ball, contrary to what I've read on 606. 17 Gunnarsson- 7/10 - The anchor in midfield, his presence allowed Whitts free roam, he wins so many tackles, and is very clever when passing a ball, well taken goal. 52 Ralls - 6/10 - From what I saw of the kid, he looked very promising. Perhaps slightly overwhelmed by the oppositions midfield but looks like another- albeit slightly less talented- Aaron on our books, was very calm and assured on the ball, sad to see him go off. 09 Miller - 9/10 - Was the Miller and Whitts show. Every time Mills got the ball he had the same class as Whitts. Looked like a class above, we have to keep him fit- he has great vision, great work rate, is a team player, loads of experience... I doubted him at the start of the season, but im hugely impressed by him. There we go, I doubt anyone will agree with me, but then again, an opinion is an opinion! Remember, last time I saw City at home, DJ was our manager. I loved the passion in the side, and thought that on another day we could easily have gotten the three points. Boro deserved it in the end and I dont begrudge them the victory- was a brilliant game of football. Remember to check out my band! Dont worry Im not a singer!
Cannot comment on the football but the music I can Listened to one track and it reminded me of a band called Smile (1969 ish). Smile included Brian May & Roger Taylor that later became part of Queen. Not saying you will make it as big as they did but the recording I listened to just reminded me of the music of Smile. Raw and needs a certain kind of ear to appreciate it. For me it was fine, could listen to it anytime
Check this U Tube link, not sure how much more of them you can find on the net - they were never 'big' [video=youtube;O4QDPzxSaTY]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O4QDPzxSaTY&feature=related[/video]
Some good stuff there mucca's lots of stuff I'm picking up on from early psychedelic rock, punk, prog, and a bit of hacienda but all wrapped in your own style..impressed.
thanks guys, =] so good to hear that a years hard work wasnt totally not worth it! aber!!! If we ever get any groupies I definitely know where to send them!
On the subject of groupies i have been in various bands over the years.. Bass..drums..vocals..at various stages but the best i ever did re groupies was as a roadie...those girls will do ANYTHING to get at the band ..in fact when i WAS i the band i pretended to be a roadie ...2 birds with 1 stone so to speak
