Although I’m pretty sure that Alan Tarney’s version of Take on Me was initially unsuccessful; it was only when the video came out that it took off.

VAR is here to stay Alan! Do you not remember all the massive mistakes referees used to make pre VAR in virtually every game? Most of the ‘errors’ now are just down to interpretation of the rules.

Seems the A-ha sessions put Tony off the music business. Massive pressure from Warner Bros, sweltering heat in Eel Pie Studios programming the Fairlight, band who didn’t just give him total control and then sacked and replaced by Alan Tarney. Was very prolific beforehand, esp. in 1983 #tonymansfield

Well they were a bit silly. Doesn’t mean I didn’t like them.

Did he ever get his guitars back from Gino D'Acampo?

“The Thompson Twats”, as they were commonly known.

Saw them in June 2007 at the Royal Festival Hall. Last performance in London with (almost) full line up? Awesome #devo

Just placed an order - great stuff and worth a look if you want to appear a bit more stylish to your friends!

They should just concentrate on selling scarves and trench coats. Nobody really wants anything else.

Terrible view from those rubbish backless seats at the old Wembley but remember the scenes as the ball went in off the post. Saw Graham Taylor at the petrol station after the game and told him to get Hirsty starting for England, although he didn’t have a brilliant game that day from memory.

When’s Cherki going to get a move, Andy? Doesn’t even start for Lyon. Massively skilful. Not hard working enough for Prem?

“If it’s too good to be true…”. Ponzi schemes rely on lazy, greedy people unfortunately, which is why they’re so popular. 50/50 blame.

‘Team with one of the most expensive squads in the league does quite well in the league’ shock.
