Cliff Englewood

Up for additions.

Yea Celtic just aren't on the same level, plenty of heart but no real skill, although the Eduardo incident was cheating plain and simple. I actually stopped watching that game and watched the second half of Fiorentina v Sporting, it was really good. Fiorentina brought on a young kid by the name of Jovetic at half time and he turned it around for them after they were a goal down and looked to be going out. However Fiorentina 's pitch was so bad, it looked like they had various forms of livestock grazing on it in the days leading up to the match. Hard to believe that a club at that level has a pitch that third world clubs would complain about.

Atletico v Panathinaikos was a complete snore fest last night, I kept on switching over to "Swamp Loggers", Panathinaikos were shite, but Atletico could cause many team problems when the CL gets going. Can Celtic perform a miracle tonight, I hope so, Wenger is just too smug. :g

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm, I wonder did this thread have anything to do with this set going to "Running Low", if it did they should probably give me a free one. :g

Well, I don't get many chances to see Liverpool play, and this may have nothing to do with what may be happening, but I remember seeing several Liverpool matches over the past couple seasons and Xabi Alonso was really a dynamic presence on the pitch. They don't look like the same team without him. Of course, I know this probably doesn't have much to do with what you're talking about Cliff. There is probably something going on with the coaching staff/management or some locker room issues. But Xabi was, in a way, the glue that held them together. I'm sure his loss hurts the team. I think it's a bit easy to just say they miss Alonso, he is a great player but they have lost a lot of games that he played in as well remember. He was very good last season, but in the previous 2 seasons, not so much. In fact I think they became too reliant on him and it became very easy for other teams to target him and mark him out of a game, also he had very little pace and didn't score enough goals for someone with such great feet. Considering that before they beat Stoke on Wednesday the bookies had stopped taking bets or at least shortened the odds on Benítez leaving tells it's own story, rumours were rife that he was going to quit last Wednesday when he stormed out of a training session, but he returned and Liverpool beat Stoke City 4-0. I think it may be dawning on him that without serious investment in the squad, money that the current owners are not going to provide as they seem to have lost interest, he has taken Liverpool as far as he can. As I posted above, they are already worse off than they were for the whole of last season, they only lost 2 games during the whole of last season and haven't been beaten at home since December 2007, how long is it since Villa won at Anfield??? I shouldn't get to down about it because before the own goal Villa didn't do a lot and if Liverpool ahd scored earlier in the first half when Gerrard, Torres and Yossi all conspired not to score it would have been very different game, but credit to Villa they had a plan and they stuck to it well and I think the USA should give Friedel a recall, that guy is amazing.

Reo-Coker and Friedel were very good for Villa. Something is very wrong at Liverpool me thinks, none of the confidence of last season is there. Dark times ahead.

Liverpool 1 - Aston Villa 3, what did I tell you. God I hate football.

I wouldn't worry if I was you, I've seen enough of these types of games to know how they'll end up. In fairness to Villa they are more organised than Liverpool but they were very lucky with the first goal and Liverpool were to busy moaning for the second. Gerrard is having a shocker, as is the rest of the midfield, but the captain especially. He keeps trying too many Hollywood passes and flicks and none of them have come off. Torres is completely isolated most of the time. I'm only watching it on shitty live streams on the PC so I don't know if I can stand to watch the second half. It looks like Liverpool will have lost as many games in the first 3 matchs of the season as they did in the whole of the last season. God I hate football.

Oh dear Liverpool are 0 - 2 down at half time and I can't see them scoring 3 in the second half the way they're playing. At least sal is happy.

Technically you're correct the Liverpool vs. Aston Villa game is really part of the weekend fixtures, it's actually Man Utd v Arsenal next Saturday, Utd have the old home advantage. :rolleyes:

You mean like your Villans got us last season :D what was the score again, 5 - 0???, please can you get us again like that, please. :D Seriously though I'm not sure how this one will go I think Villa will try to keep it very tight as they won't want 3 loses on the trot but if John Carew is fit and on form he can be a real handful for any defence. I think if Liverpool get an early goal they will get all 3 points. I might have to try to watch it online as I'm not sure it's on over here I think ESPN have the rights to this game. There was a good article in the Irish Sunday Tribune about Martin O'Neill and Rafa Benitez, check it out here.

I'm not trying to start an argument here or anything but does it actually say there is "new" re-mastering on these sets??? Mark Wilder interview on the new mastering of the Kind of Blue Legacy Edition 2CD-set. I've read in an article that he had also newly remastered the 'Round About Midnight and Sketches of Spain Legacy Edition 2CD-sets, but I can't find it right now. Anyway, Phil Schaap's name is not mentioned in the mastering credits of the Sketches of Spain Legacy Edition 2CD-set, while it does appear among the mastering credits of the Miles Davis / Gil Evans boxed set. Mark Wilder, Maria Triana and Woody Pornpakoski (and in a few cases Seth Foster) remastered almost the entire Miles Davis catalogue between 2001 and 2006, and those remasters were used for the now OOP 2006 Japanese mini-LP reissues in the SICP 12XX series and also for the 2007 Japanese hybrid SACD reissues and the later Japanese blu-spec versions. This was confirmed to me by CD Japan some time ago. The mastering credits can be found on the CD inserts and the dates on the obi strips. You don't have to take my word for it, of course P.S. Forgot to add that Charles Mingus' Mingus Ah Um Legacy Edition 2CD-set was also newly mixed and mastered. According to the booklet Mark Wilder did the mixing from the original three-track tapes on an original Presto tube tape recorder. Thanks for that, but on the late 90's versions (1998) of the Mingus material it says "Digitally remixed and remastered from the original 3-track tapes using an original Presto Tape Tube Recorder by Mark Wilder and Rob Schwarz at Sony Music Studios, NY", so I think I'm going to go with CJ Shearn here, that the mixes on these fancy new Legacy editions are the same as the late 90's versions. I just can't see a record company spending the money to re-re-master stuff these days. Just my opinion though. :cool:

I'm not trying to start an argument here or anything but does it actually say there is "new" re-mastering on these sets???

Whoa great second half in the Panathinaikos vs Atletico Madrid game, I was just thinking I wouldn't pay 50 million for Aguero when he went and scored that goal, amazing. Also Liverpool winning 4 - 0 and United losing to Burnley, what a night. God I love football. :wub:

The Jazztet Sessions Mosaic is now gone, the Grachan Moncur is still available.

I think it's actually Panathinaikos vs Atletico Madrid, which is good because Greek crowds are usually nuts, I'm gonna watch it just because it's on and I want to have a look at Sergio Aguero and see if he's all that, as they say. Even though I should try and watch Liverpool – Stoke City somewhere, I'm still pissed off at Sunday's performance and I fear Stoke will just defend and make it difficult and worse still get a winning goal in the 89 minute or something. God I hate football. :tophat:

You might not be so thankful after you watch it, it wasn't all that great, Arsenal definitely deserved to win but the 2 goals were very, very lucky.

Yea, you didn't really miss much from the Tottenham-Liverpool game. However Celtic v Arsenal tonight should be well worth watching.

This is very good, if you see it, it's well worth picking up; Benny Carter: 1954. AMG Review. Amazon Link with sound clips.

Yes I think it's on it's way.

Hi Jeff I tried to respond to your PM but got the following message: This member has chosen not to be contactable by the board Messenger This personal message has not been sent So I don't think you got my message. :lol:

Not as disappointed as I was with Liverpool's defeat to Spurs, they just never got going and looked a bit disjointed, other than the Arsenal win, which in fairness was helped by Everton being completely shit, it was a bit of a damp squib of a first weekend of the season. Hope it gets better. :(

Chelsea 2 - Hull City 1, Chelsea snatch it in the last few minutes the bastards.

It's all kicking off today, already interesting, Chelsea 1 - Hull City 1.

Up for another price drop.
