Sorry to be pedantic Juzzie but it's just Eels, no "The".
Your Queen comment is so far off the mark. I reckon Brian May wrote as many songs as Freddie did. John Deacon wrote some of the well known ones too (Another One Bites the Dust, You're My Best Friend etc). The sound of Brian May's guitar is so unique, mainly because he built it himself originally.
On the "solo" artist side, David Bowie is the one for me that probably wouldn't have had anywhere the success he had without Mick Ronson.
Just remember that, whenever you think of this question, Real Madrid paid somewhere in the region of €100 million for Eden Hazard when he only had 1 year left on his contract at Chelsea. No formula could have come up with that number!
I think there is a bit of over-excitement around some of these signings. Hodge has barely played a game at a decent level for 4 years and we all no how injuries can effect player confidence. Hayden hasn't played more than 15 games in a season since 20/21, Frey looks decent and had a good season and a quarter with Antwerp, but will be interesting to see how we actually get him opportunities to score.
Well, it was the point in the contexct of the post I was replying to.
Look, I get the sentiment, but how far do you want to go back? We could go back to the mid-70s, but what's the point? We are where we are, but it could be a lot worse.
Plenty of Prem clubs have gone the other way past us too - Barnsley, Leeds, Blackburn, Man City, Blackpool, Wimbledon, Charlton, Bradford, Oldham, Portsmouth, Reading, Derby, Sheffield Wednesday, Swindon, Wigan etc
Sorry this “it’s only Bournemouth” mantra is just horseshit. Their last 10 Prem results are:-
LWWWWDWWLW. 4 of those wins were away, including thrashing Man Utd. The 2 losses were away at Man City and Spurs. They are on a completely different level to us. Disappointing that we couldn’t hold on to a 2 goal lead, but if you are really suggesting you are surprised that we are losing to Bournemouth, when we can’t hold our own against poor Championship teams, then you probably don’t know anything about them.
Well, they’ve spent the best part of £190 million on players in the last 2 years. Their starting 11 today cost them £100 million, not including Sinisterra, who is on loan from Leeds and cost them an estimated £21 million.
