@anon_opin You are, you did, it is.

The great unsayable of being a full-time carer for elderly parents is that it's actually not an 'honour' at all, it's a soul-destroying, draining burden. But nobody's allowed to say that.

@Utd__max10 Cantona and best

If you could bring back two Man United legends, who would you pick?

@OneWayMusicX Magic that is

Tracy Chapman's original folk hit from 1988 was revived by Luke Combs' country version in 2023, leading to this rare collaboration that beautifully blends folk and country on stage.

Wee man back to school today, Mrs has just went out. House to myself for the first time in weeks. I need to hear something incredible and I need to hear it loud. This will do the trick. Seriously, and I say this with no hyperbole, this is one of the greatest songs ever written.

@batcountry1980 @Top10Nathan Art for arts sake, instead of perusing the winning formula and becoming mainstream they perused their pure artistic leanings and creativity to bring something alien to ok computer but meaningful, I think both albums are pure creation, hats off to them.

By every metric, OK Computer was a humongous success for Radiohead. So everything was in its right place for them to become the biggest band on the planet. Huge critical acclaim, emotionally resonant songs, arena-sized dynamics, unique frontman, mystique, ambition. They could have refined the OK Computer sound into something even more polished and universal and become absolutely enormous in a very conventional sense. Essentially, they could have become the next U2. And there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that. U2 are a brilliant band with many fantastic songs and a handful of genuinely great albums. At the end of the day, somebody has to be the biggest band in the world. U2 wanted it, pursued it, and achieved it. And hats off to them. What quickly became clear with Radiohead was that they didn’t want that at all. And when it became a real possibility, they immediately set out to sabotage it. That’s what made Kid A such a remarkable record. It wasn’t just a “weird follow-up.” Instead, here is a band refusing the natural laws of rock stardom. Just as total acceptance was within touching distance, they disappeared further into themselves. There are no obvious singles here, no big accessible anthems. Yorke’s lyrics become even more fragmented, the vocals often buried in the mix. Aphex Twin, jazz, ambient music, krautrock, all of it gets pulled into the sound. Jittery, awkward textures that unsettle rather than invite. Another hit album? You wouldn’t have thought so. Yet somehow, Radiohead carried the audience with them. Normally, a move like this either destroys a band commercially or shrinks them into cult status. Instead, Kid A went to number one on both sides of the Atlantic. In hindsight, the alienation, technological anxiety, and abstraction of OK Computer almost feel like a prelude to this record’s deeper plunge into emotional and musical dislocation. The audience wanted to go further and further all along. On Radiohead’s terms. And that only strengthened the myth of Radiohead, because they are one of those mythical bands. The refusal of the obvious move became part of their identity. They genuinely seemed guided by artistic instinct rather than career logic. In doing so, Radiohead joined that small group of artists capable of pushing boundaries and challenging the listener without losing a mass audience. That’s extraordinarily rare.

@realninawysocka Can you send some proper nominations not the special needs group?

Who’s been the best PM Britain’s ever had?

Who's the best ever to wear our number 9?

@Furious_red_ Cantona

Man united fans, mention that Man united player you consider as untouchable 👇👇

@MufcWonItAll2 He is a very bitter one eyed man.

Apparently we're not allowed to say anything bad about Roy Keane because he's a United legend. Sorry but United legend or not if you're being an absolute cunt for no reason whatsoever you're gonna get called a cunt. Plain and simple.

@markklfc So prior to winning the league, Robbo was shite?

Roy Keane on Instagram amid his ongoing situation with Bruno Fernandes: 🗣️ “I’ve seen all the reactions, the interviews, the social media posts… but my opinion hasn’t changed. At a club this size, being talented is not enough. People keep talking about stats, assists, and moments, but Manchester United was built on mentality, leadership, and winning when the pressure is unbearable. Bruno Fernandes always wants attention around him. Every week there’s drama, talking, gestures, headlines. But real leaders let trophies and performances in the biggest moments speak for them. And this is the problem with modern football too much praise for things that should be normal. I said what I said because standards at this club have fallen badly. Years ago, certain behaviours would never be accepted inside that dressing room. People can call me harsh, but I know what greatness looks like. And I also know when players are getting treated like lions before proving it consistently where it matters most.”
