It really was a fantastic year for music. I did like 25 albums in the AOTY thread, and could have easily come up with 10 or 15 others.

I still haven't voted in the AOTY thread. I think its gonna take long time to compile them.
Fuck it, I am just gonna do it in my blog and posted here later.

But yeah, bloody amazing year!

Was there any reason why one had to list a minimum of ten albums? Was pretty hard for me.

Only 10? Lol, I could list around 40 albums that bloody fantastic and that is only from the top of my head.

I suppose its the same with gaming and movies where an aggregate would only work if there is enough samples to go through, i dunno

Pretty good for Everton too!

Yeah, that as well, except for getting beaten by Sunderland.

Rented Byzantium. Then found out it's only in German.

Phew, glad I didn't buy it.

I though it was a shitty movie, but it seems it has its fans.

I have a short list of bands I listen to that I'm working to expand. For example I had never listened to Kanye before 2013.



No idea what to expect, but I wanted to watch something and it at least sounded interesting and I remembered some enthusiastic review in some newspaper. I'm hoping for an atmospheric, little movie. I really liked the atmosphere of Drive for the most part, at least those scenes during the night.

The atmosphere stems from the fact that it tries hard to be a very modern gothic movie and ends up being an emo character relations.

Also, you should have stayed not listening to Kanya throughout 2013.

If you are expanding your horizons: Go for French films, one of the best albums this year

Everybody listen to Empire of the Sun.

pls

I saw them live with Headlining Fenech-Soler

I am sorry, but I really didn't like them! Haven't listened to their album though.

Fenech-Soler were awesome, teared up that venue alright.

Will check out your recommendation, faridmon. Thanks.

:D

I even wrote about them, if you have time to read through all that drivel (I know Footy Gaf don't like Wall of text, so I am just gonna post the link here)

2013 showed great progress from Arsenal and more importantly Arsenal Wenger. It was when he finally had enough of individual errors and got rid of players who weren't going to cut it rather than waste time.

- Dropping Szczesny
- Dropping Vermaelen
- Getting rid of Santos
- In the summer got rid of all the shit. Only Bendtner remains but we still need him.
- Brought Mesut Ozil huge sign of intent
- Brought in Flamini and Monreal
- Played a huge role in Ramsey's resurgence

All of the above things contributed to Arsenal having one of their most consistent 12mths of results in recent memory and it's all because Wenger woke up and got the balls to do what needed to be done. Just needs to sort the striker problem and get us a world class centre back and we're good to take on the CL I feel.

Yes, everybody should make this a New Years resolution. Not my usual musical taste, but their tunes are so catchy.

Btw, happy new year footygaf, moderately average new year for any Cardiff city fans ;-)

Tonight was gud!

Now, the year will only really start well for me if we beat Hull today.
Let's do this Redmen!!!!
 
Paris Saint-Germain are set to try to sign Eden Hazard from Chelsea in the summer, but if the Blues are not willing to deal will switch their attention to his team-mate Oscar.

However, according to L'Equipe, PSG have conceded that signing Hazard from Chelsea might be mission impossible. And it is for this reason they are ready to switch their attention to Oscar if a Hazard move fails.

wat.

Sherlock is awesome,just finished episode 3. Its spoiled a bit by having an awareness of its continued existence and some of the actors

I knew Jim was Moriarty and I know Sherlock won't kill Moriarty now as he's in S2

Wasn't expecting his laughable voice and accent though



edit: Decent matches on TV today. Hopefully Swansea can give City a game, especially since the Europa League fixtures have stopped in the last few weeks

Have to beat Hull. Will be more difficult than most expect, they're on a massive high after the Fulham win, and Bruce has some kind of voodoo hold over us. Think Sakho's injury could kill us over the next 2 months, not too happy with either Skrtel or Agger to be completely honest.

4-0, Suarez, Suarez, Suarez, Suarez.

Seriously. It might sound a bit Bayernista considering our home record aginst teams outside the top 9, but I fear that those 2 losses have taken a bit of the wind out of our sails. Its stupid since I thought we'd probably lose both, but still. Especially when you feel like everything went against you, which is how I feel about the Chelsea match, and I imagine its how the players feel as well.

Hopefully Stevie is back.

Zeki Fryers article, lol

It became an unwelcome theme at United with Fryers following Paul Pogba and Ravel Morrison out of the club from the same generation.

Pogba has flourished at Juventus, Morrison has impressed at West Ham and Fryers started his first Barclays Premier League game for Tottenham on Sunday against Stoke.

One of these three is not like the others. Fuck, two of these three are not like the other.

Catching Fire finally came out here a few days ago so I just saw it and it was great. Much better than the Hunger Games which I didn't think was bad at all just a bit unpolished and too obvious. Damn I'm so pumped!
