“Tell him he’s dreaming”. I just looked on the Australia community and there’s little to no discussion about it. I’m Australian, and I think our flag sucks! COYG.

Looks to me that the Southern X is losing out. We should finish the canon.

Did you swap out the template, temporarily? It looked a bit better, maybe. It was misaligned though.

From the LFC site:

Smith has the ability to play as a midfielder but believes she's now found the position best suited to her skillset. "I have to say, since I've been here [at Sporting], the right wing is kind of my spot," she revealed. "I love taking players on one-v-one facing up but even [with] my physicality and speed to get by players. So, I definitely think left or right wing, but mainly right wing is where I've been playing a lot and been the best in."

I didn't realise she is very young, too. Looks like 'pool mostly played her on the right. I wonder if she would be a good option on the left, as well.

Hopefully we are at the the "Let's agree to meet in the middle and here's a nice bottle of whisky" stage of big Vic negotiations

I was lucky enough to be at a live, radio set that The Lemonheads played, today. It was a fun time. Evan Dando mentioned that as well as the upcoming album, they have already recorded a whole other album.

 

…also, Alessia Russo shares Golden Boot with Bunny Shaw

It just crossed my radar that RK are reuniting and have some upcoming dates in the US and one in Canada. Also some reissues.

Enjoy a super low quality MV of this song.

Having posted this, I had to also post this song with the same name. This is how my brain works.

I read the tragic news that Jill Sobule died in a house fire on 1 May 2025. RIP.

When Arsenal striker Kai Havertz stepped up to take a penalty against Bournemouth last season, it felt like his career was a crossroads. The German forward had joined Arsenal from their London rivals Chelsea for a hefty £60 million transfer fee, but he still hadn’t found the back of the net. And critics were questioning whether all that money had been a waste.

But when Havertz smashed the penalty into the bottom left corner and wheeled away to celebrate, 40,000 Arsenal supporters erupted into a brand new song—a remix of Shakira’s 2010 World Cup hit “Waka Waka,” with new, bespoke lyrics: “sixty million down the drain, Kai Havertz scores again.”

The Arsenal fans were serenading their new striker and laughing at his critics by saying: “who’s a waste of money now?”

This bizarre scene exemplifies a European football tradition that has evolved into a folk art form over decades, particularly in the English Premier League. Every weekend, supporters fill stadiums with complex, often witty songs that blend pop culture with football passion—creating a soundscape unlike anything in American sports.
