For years cricket has had the snickometer, Hawkeye. Tennis too. Even rugby leage has had video technology for years.

Why the fuck football can't get it's house in order is beyond me.

Post-96 football is shit. And nothing's been the same since Elvis died.
That’s not strictly true is it ?

The standard of popular music has been in constant decline since 1979...

Popular music today is as good as it's ever been, as is the quality of up and coming talent singing it. I am pleased, indeed proud, to prove it by making this fine rendition of the U2 classic Pride (In The Name Of Love) available to all. I was literally moved to tears when I heard it.

FFS I'm still laughing now. ;)

Yet it’s still an improvement on the vastly overrated Elvis Presley .

Are you joking?I know we all love the era's we grew up in,that`s natural(myself,teenage years,1978-84),but f*ck me,this century,I can name one decent song,(ok very few),but in the 60`s 70`s,80`s,there were some fabulous music,in between a bit of shite.

I think I WAS LUCKY..We had everything,Ska(my personal favorite),Punk,Mod,New Wave and Romantic,Electro,Rock,Reggae,Jazz Funk,Dance and even the start of Rap was pretty good,.Have you heard the Rap nowadays?

I am pleased I grew up when I did.
