    16 December 2018. Always and forever, thank you to Great Britain and the British people whose creativity, since the 1960s, has given the rest of the World hundreds of unique bands such as the Fall and music of unparalleled beauty, quirkiness and atmosphere. What would our lives have been without British bands? Thank you from Sicily.

    Anybody who watched English league football in the 1980s gets this song. Basically the problems with the game are still there. Owners who treat the fans like shit, the stupid blazers in the FA and talented English players being overlooked and marginalised by stupid England managers.

    Whose ground is that? anyone know? I love how English grounds looked back in the 70s/80s. Absolutely dripping with atmosphere and personality. Wish it still looked like that. Football grounds are way too corporate, way too family friendly and clean. They all look the same now. I wish i had been around during this period. i was born in the wrong generation lol.
