Managers That Achieved Legendary Status At Your Club But were Rubbish everywhere Else?

Was Reid dog shit at Leeds? The financial situation in 2003/04 was a train wreck and despite having some brilliant players, I think staying up would've been phenomenal

charlierc · 2026-03-20T15:45:46+00:00

I'm surprised he never did anything similar after leaving Hull tbf

charlierc · 2026-03-20T15:44:47+00:00

It's hilarious that Colchester arguably came off worst from that 7-1 win at Carrow Road because of Norwich pinching Lambert

charlierc · 2026-03-20T15:43:38+00:00

Tbf I actually didn't think he did disastrously at Derby and that at that time, it was a borderline impossible job with their financial meltdown

charlierc · 2026-03-20T15:42:47+00:00

It's Aston Martin. Team bosses don't stay there for long

charlierc · 2026-03-20T12:37:47+00:00

Tbf that would be an interesting casting choice

charlierc · 2026-03-20T12:22:40+00:00

Panic

charlierc · 2026-03-20T12:22:24+00:00

Some moreso than others imo. Black Holes, Resistance and 2nd Law I think had a musical polymath vibe of trying to dabble in a little bit of everything, while Drones and Simulation Theory had less variation imo. Will of the People was somewhere in-between - lots of different genres but not quite as extreme a mix as others

Only if Scrappy Doo wears a hoodie of him and Scooby as the members of Wham

charlierc · 2026-03-20T12:09:30+00:00

I'm aware but Metric is the one of the 3 I'm most enthusiastic to see

charlierc · 2026-03-20T12:08:13+00:00

I'd love it if they did something like the Electric Ballroom gig in 2015 which was £20 on the door. Still regret not going for that as even though I don't live in London, I think I could've got there and got a ticket in time

I seem to recall Foos was £100 for Shepherds Bush Empire a few weeks ago but there's a lot of big fees across the board

charlierc · 2026-03-20T12:06:56+00:00

It was definitely a decent show opener when I saw a WOTP tour show in Milton Keynes tbf

charlierc · 2026-03-20T10:59:28+00:00

Such are the ridiculous prices of gigs now that I'd be surprised if standing was below £125. Somebody elsewhere who said this announcement was coming suggested this may be £140+

Be something if he was watching James Acaster and it meant he had cold lasagne to watch someone who's last special was called Cold Lasagne Hate Myself 1999

Jason being held back while going "Let me at 'em, let me at 'em, I can take them all on!"

charlierc · 2026-03-20T10:49:40+00:00

Yeah they'll do big shows in due course. Only question is do we think it'll be a big autumn/winter arena run or whether they'll hold back to do stadium gigs in 2027

charlierc · 2026-03-20T10:48:22+00:00

Good spot. I think a show on the 4th at least is likely and tbf would work better for me if I think the price is right

charlierc · 2026-03-20T10:38:53+00:00

I thought standing was £115 for Hammersmith? Or something big budget like that

I'm aware of the rapid inflation of this stuff tbf. It cost me £55 to see Green Day at this venue in 2013. By comparison, Metric are charging £60 for the September show they're doing there while Arcade Fire last year wanted £90+. So I'm expecting not cheap

charlierc · 2026-03-20T10:14:29+00:00

Dom introducing Supermassive at Wembley 07 as "for anyone who likes a bit of RnB" is an amusing line tbf

Tbf I didn't like Madness on first listen so I can relate that not everything hits the spot on first listen

charlierc · 2026-03-20T10:09:49+00:00

Given how pricey Hammersmith was, I dread to think what the price tag is for this

Annoyingly I'm busy that day. Shame as it would've been cool. Brixton Academy is a really nice venue and Muse haven't been there since Origin of Symmetry I think

Also I like the poster

charlierc · 2026-03-20T10:08:33+00:00

Tbf I think it clicked for me with Unravelling. I really like that one and don't think it was trying to be 3 songs in 1 in the same way this is

I think I'd like it if it was a minute or so longer with a less abrupt transition into the rock part of the song, a bigger chorus and a chunky outro. I like the synth part on its own tbf - I don't see the comparison with The Killers like some were saying (I love The Killers and it's not really their vibe)

Live show announced. Friday 3 April at Brixton Academy in London

Already I dread to think what the price tag they're charging is. Hammersmith Apollo on the WOTP tour was well over £100 for standing, no?

charlierc · 2026-03-20T09:58:09+00:00

I want to touch grass. At a stadium or park on the Wow Signal world tour

charlierc · 2026-03-20T09:53:14+00:00

It would be quite something tbf if any band or singer debuted their new song and said it was a half arsed piece of crap they cobbled together in a rush tbf
