cheers Buzz, enjoy the game!

As Wales prepare to take on England for the 105th time on Thursday, hoping to record what would be just a fifteenth victory, ✍️Leon Burton looks back over the 146-year history of matches between the two sides wp.me/p8Mk4U-16PG

Oh, Joey Joey 💔

For me, the guitar sound, Gruff's vocals in the verse and Cian's keys are all more Krautrock than Britpop!

More time on the bench, sadly. Although there's talk Okonkwo will get a Nigeria call up for AFCON which could be an opening for Ward.

really?! So you disagree with my take that something 4 the weekend was clearly their most 'Britpop' moment and Hermann loves Pauline was the moment the handbrake came off? Can't imagine ANY of the big Britpop bands like Oasis, Blur, Pulp, Suede coming up w a song like HLP... musically or lyrically

Hermann loves Pauline was my no. 3 but only 3 others voted for it. Was disappointed it wasn't higher either...as you may guess if you read my 'bit' about that one!

Thanks for posting @simonprice.bsky.social I'd have loved to see some of the folkier, Pentangle-influenced songs in there like the piccolo snare and Sarn Helen cos that folky side of them is maybe the only side not really repped in the top 30.

Just missed out. Think it was number 31

thanks Iwan

If we finish same points as Belgium, is it Head to Head, goal difference or goal difference minus the games vs the team that finishes bottom of a 5 team group?????

...cos nobody seems to have a clue

probably his worst game for Wales, JJ poor too. Probably Johnson and Thomas' best games for Wales. Attack showed up, midfield didn't sadly...

Happy 83rd birthday to the greatest, most influential artist that Wales has ever produced.

When JC turned 80 three yrs back I wrote the longest article I've ever written to mark the occasion. Not for me to say but it might be the best article I've ever written too:
