  • Its hard to name any one player as being the most important. It really depends on the team. A poor team needs a good goalkeeper more than a good team in some ways. But to be great you'd need a great goalkeeper.

    The reason for the glory though is the same reason why a batsman gets all the glory in cricket
    Haha, no need for an apology man. I know you well enough to know you don't mean any harm and were kidding around. I should've added a smiley on that post of mine - it was just a remark in good fun. Like I said, Cricket is still my first love so anyone who loves the game as much as you obviously do will always be ok in my book. :-)
    Posted. Run out of decent quotes now, could only find one for the next battle. See what you can do - if battle 3 runs the full 24 I'll likely be still asleep.
    Yeah, don't worry about it man, I'm on top of the counting. Could really do with some good quotes though. I've got the next battle ready but I'm struggling after that.
    It's sweet. Not a bad song on it. The only time I ever saw them was touring that album as well.

    PS did you check out the BHN review I posted in OT? Pretty interesting read
    Yo dude.. from this match :

    Sree's figures - 4-1-22-0
    Ishant's figures - 3-0-12-5

    :ph34r:
    The build-up to Kid A wasn't that massive, I think without having been here at the time it's hard to grasp just how big oasis were in the 95-98 era.not just talking sales and that, although they speak for themselves, with Morning Glory being the 3rd biggest seller in the UK ever, and nearly 3 million applying for Knebworth tickets. But as celebrities their fame was off the charts, when they got haircuts it was front page news. Be Here Now was their first album to come out when they were this big and the hype was amazing. Queues at midnight all over England, released on a Thursday to prevent leakage.

    As I say, I like it. I don't think it's a bad album but of course I agree it could have been better. Too much overdubbing and unnecessary outros. Strip all that away and the tunes were there. If it had been made a year later once Noel had quit coke, it would have been as big as Morning Glory, IMO
    Also, when it was released it got like 9 or 10 out of 10 in most of its reviews

    Morning Glory, on the other hand, was dismissed as mediocre fare

    Funny how things work out really
    14 Reasons why I like Be Here Now:

    1. The build-up to its release is the biggest and best of any release of anything in my whole life. You couldn't escape it, it was everywhere.
    2. I was 13 when it came out and instantly adored it. Even if I went along with populist thought, nostalgia alone would carry it through, but I don't and I stand by my early impressions.
    3. D'You Know What I Mean
    4. My Big Mouth
    5. Stand By Me
    6. I Hope, I Think, I Know
    7. The Girl In The Dirty Shirt
    8. Fade In-Out
    9. Don't Go Away
    10. Be Here Now
    11. All Around The World
    12. It's Getting Better (Man!!)
    13. The only band that I absolutely love to the same extent as oasis is Guns N' Roses. If GNR made an oasis record, it would Be Here Now, if that makes sense. Noel even cites the title track as being influenced by Guns.
    14. I'm a good boy these days but there was a time when I had a renewed appreciation for Be Here Now. I will leave that one at that, if you don't know what it means then I won't be explaining :p
