    Misheard Lyrics

    I remember reading that the chorus is one of the most commonly misheard in pop music. Apparently, some have heard it as "See that girl, watch her scream, kicking the dancing queen." In the same article, several people polled said that they heard Madonna's lyrics as "Like a virgin, touched for the thirty-first time."
  2. How on Earth can you put all these bands on a single day? It seems like a nightmare for clashes.
  3. He probably takes the Rooney Rule literally.

    Misheard Lyrics

    I've always heard "All the single ladies" as "I'm a cigarette".
  5. The quarter-finals are looking very interesting. Based on group stage form, Wales should beat Argentina. Ireland/New Zealand and France/South Africa look like nearly 50/50 matches. Fiji beat England in a pre-tournament friendly, which adds some spice. The Fiji that played Australia would definitely win against the England that played Samoa.
  6. Farrell running out of time to take a penalty just epitomises the carelessness of this England team.
  7. This is the England we've come to know. Video technology being used to change an on-field decision a couple of minutes later? Who would have thought it?
  8. On the positive side, they beat a club with another horrible ownership group.
  9. Scunthorpe have a new owner. Hopefully, things will be better moving forward.
  10. I remember reading a while ago that the Saudi government offered to pay for some Greek stadiums to support the bid. Is that still on the table?
  11. Presumably, the kickoff times at the start of the tournament will be all over the place.
  12. Three different continents? They might as well just go the whole hog and say the entire world is the official host.
  13. My general annoyance with VAR, issues like this aside, is the way it takes some of the "in the moment" excitement out of the game. Most of the time when I see a goal scored or a penalty awarded, I'm waiting for the inevitable VAR check. It makes crowd celebrations feel a bit more muted as many fans probably go through the same thought process.
  14. I sometimes wish I didn't like football because there are so many incidents like this. I know it's a small minority, but it seems as if it's at least somebody almost every week celebrating the deaths of opposing fans or players.
  15. Perhaps this is a viral condition that they've spread to the Brighton squad.
  16. New Zealand will probably be annoyed at conceding two tries against Italy, but scoring 96 of their own points softens the blow extremely well.
  17. I tried out the free demo of The Lamplighters League and enjoyed it. The reviews are all saying that the game is packed full of technical issues at launch, which is sad because I think it's a very solid concept in and of itself. Maybe it will be one to keep an eye on for later.
  18. I've found over the years that you just have to appreciate stability at your club when it's there. It really doesn't take much for things to all go downhill, and there aren't that many clubs you'd say are "immune" to it, i.e. famous enough to reliably attract new buyers at any given time.
  19. I think that 80s hair metal is fun and catchy.
  20. Scunthorpe's owner has decided to withdraw all funding and is looking to sell the club. After this Saturday, they will play their home games in Gainsborough. I hope I'm wrong, but I think this is the beginning of the end for them.
  21. Jim Ryan is retiring in March. I never really rated him, so I hope his replacement is better.
  22. A guaranteed League Two club in the quarter finals is nice.
  23. What a bleak time to be a Man City fan. Once again, they can only win three major trophies in a season.
