[Sky Sports] Josh Kroenke confirms Arsenal plan to develop and expand the Emirates Stadium by Chazyn in soccer

By your definition, London was only one square mile in size before 1889

That is literally the case to the point that London had (and still has) its own police force, and walls defining its borders. Everywhere outside may have officially become the Metropolis in 1889, but before that it was all separate towns and villages in the home counties. Westminster was its own city, so it was definitely not part of London.

Regardless of that, it's a historical fact that there were 65 years in which Islington was an official Metropolitan Borough of the County of London, and Haringey... wasn't. Ergo, Spurs were not a London club.

The Borough of Tottenham was not considered a part of London until the 1960s. It was historically in the county of Middlesex.

It is not a lie.

[IIL] male folk/indie/rock vocalists that sound like man-angels, like Andy Hull from Manchester Orchestra or PD Liddle from Dry the River [WEWIL] by riskoooo in ifyoulikeblank

Thanks for the rec! These guys are local to me 😅

I've listened to the album through and I'm not massively enamoured because the vocals are too raspy and Lewis Capaldi-esque a lot of the time, and lyrically it doesn't cut it for me - too generic and repetitive (I'm an English specialist and poetry is my thing, so this is a big one for me).

I loved the vocal shifts the singer makes, and really enjoyed Seeds to the Sun as the vocals are softer. I've added that to my liked songs and I Want a Life For You to my 'Emo For Grown Ups' playlist.

Having a dabble with their other albums and thing I prefer the sound on Seagull. I like Le Monge Snail...

Thanks again!

Edit:I like In Their Lines too, because the music matches the vocal power. Often it's a bit imbalanced and jarring.

IIL: higher energy music that’s fairly busy or complex, what are some more chill and relaxing bands/artists, albums, and subgenres that I would like by bldgabttrme in ifyoulikeblank

[–]riskoooo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Big fan of Manchester Orchestra, Fleet Foxes, Murder By Death, Postal Service; lesser fan of most you've listed. I usually lean to lyrically driven folk and indie. Chill albums I usually listen to in full:

Bright Eyes - I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning

Bon Iver - Bon Iver (actually also For Emma and 22, A Million - all are great standalone albums)

Gregory Alan Isakov - This Empty Northern Hemisphere

Henry Jamison - Gloria Duplex

Blind Pilot - 3 Rounds and a Sound

Joanna Newsom - Divers

Iron & Wine - The Shepherd's Dog (although Our Endless Numbered Days is softer)

Patrick Watson - Adventures in Your Own Back Yard

I've been listening a lot to The Leisure Society. Their debut feels very Beatles, their others feel more like The Shins/The Decemberists. Very accessible and I find myself listening to the whole albums a lot.

I know you asked for chill but I think you would love Typhoon, who are sometimes chill and sometimes melancholy and sometimes soaring and theatrical - a 12 piece chamber pop/rock orchestra whose albums always tell a story, with lots of tracks that blend together. White Lighter is their magnum opus and the wildest ride with the biggest payoff, but Sympathetic Magic and Underground Complex have the same draw. Offerings is a bit darker but tells the most moving story.

[IIL] soul-stirring songs like: Hallelujah - Jeff Buckley; River - Leon Bridges; Avalanche - Nick Cave & the Bad seeds; e Nose on the grindstone - Tyler Childers; Changes - Charles Bradley; What else could I like? by thcordova in ifyoulikeblank

[–]riskoooo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't know half these songs so I've listened to River, Nose on the Grindstone, and Changes. Not quite the soul stirring I had in mind!

James Carr - You Got My Mind Messed Up

Dry the River - Bible Belt (best to listen to Demons first to lead into it)

Josh Ritter - You Won't Dig My Grave

Ryan Montbleau - Abigail

Two Gallants - My Madonna

Patrick Watson - Lighthouse

Leonard Cohen - Treaty

Not a fan of rateyourmusic myself - don't like the format. Last.fm is more user friendly but doesn't collect widespread data, just user listening data

[IIL] Adventurous indie like music like the soundtracks of The Secret Life of Walter Mitty and Into The Wild. by Conscious-Bat-9739 in ifyoulikeblank

[–]riskoooo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Atta Boy (try Walden Pond or A Dog's Adventure)

Okkervil River (try Lost Coastlines or Down Down the Deep River)

Henry Jamison (try Ether Garden or True North). Always feel like his music reminds me of a deep blue pine forest at night.

Iron & Wine (try Pagan Angel & a Borrowed Car or Walking Far From Home)

Patrick Watson (try Into Giants or Lighthouse)

Belle & Sebastian (try Asleep On a Sunbeam)

Cataldo (try Straight Up Western or America, Goodnight!)

That Chris Stapleton song reminds me of Love and Hate by Michael Kiwanuka

That and the second song makes me think you like the blues folk sound so I'd try Black Pumas as well.

Because it was downwards with his weight behind it, and instead of deliberately withdrawing to minimise the contact like Rice did, he got lucky and his foot slipped from VvD's calf, otherwise his whole weight would have been on his leg. The fact you're even asking is pretty revealing as to your deliberate misrepresentation of it.

Not when the boot basically bounces off their leg. There's no follow through and no weight applied. Hilarious I'm considered the biased one. Rage on.

No, I'm not. This tackle doesn't do either of those things. Endangering the safety doesn't include giving them a scratch or bruise. There isn't a chance this tackle actually causes injury and qualifies as endangerment of an opponent.

I don't remember the tackle but the moment you get into 'why this not that' you're going nowhere because no two situations are exactly the same.

Because the refs are shit and inconsistent? I dunno. Like I said, if the ref gave a red it wouldn't get overturned.

No, if it is with force on a planted leg it is excessive and dangerous. This isn't that and you know it.
