• 14:08 @ DTChick Spot on #
• 17:40 Spain v Switzerland - just like watching Barca... against Inter #worldcup #
• 19:59 @ 72lf Ah, I see from GB she's been a naughty girl at the wrong time. #
• 20:00 Ah, The Style Council I have been wrong all these years. You weren't *completely* shite. #
• 20:03 @ mysgreen Walls Come Tumbling Down is fantastic - it's when he's deliberately trying to be jazzy it all falls apart. #
• 20:23 @mysgreen Me neither - good singles but I can't stick whole albums bar greatest hits and singles #
• 20:24 @ thejimsmith That's easily their best album, the only one I think they got *right*. #
• 20:26 @ thejimsmith Actually, there's a good case for it being the best album Weller's been involved in full stop. #
• 21:06 RT @OliverKayTimes Outstanding article which nails the wilful ignorance of *some* TV football pundits bit.ly/bWZki3 #WorldCup #
• 21:08 Not entirely certain that's a clear goalscoring opportunity... #worldcup <

• 21:15 @ Ascotiel *Nearly* #
• 21:22 @ Ascotiel Walls Come Tumbling Down - probably the only case for the defence #
• 21:22 @ Ascotiel The jazzy stuff is fucking awful though, insipid shite. #
• 21:26 @ Ascotiel With only the odd single as an exception I absolutely agree. #
• 21:26 @ AGT79 The way this tournament's going he might have done enough already! #
• 21:31 @ Ascotiel Feel free! I laugh at his highlights #
• 21:37 @ Ascotiel That's better! And well deserved. #
• 21:56 @ xxnapoleonsolo Lovely blog piece there, nailed it perfectly. #
• 21:58 @ EddieRobson It's the accepted line, but it's tosh. I don't think class had anything to do with people 'getting into football' #
• 22:11 @ EddieRobson We lived in a commuter village, exactly the same. I think it's more
  the media realised football sold papers/got ratings #
• 22:30 @ EddieRobson Absolutely. I think it was as much a case of realising the potential of exploiting the existing audience as creating a new onw #
• 22:31 @ EddieRobson DOn't know if you've read Soccernomics, but it had interesting points about clubs having no commercial clue up til the 80s #
• 22:37 Catching up with Blur night from last week - the Britpop story rather overstates the importance of the Drowners and Popscene... #
• 22:37 ...they're important to the bands but not the overall scene. Animal Nitrate and Girls &a
  mp; Boys are the real crucial singles. #
• 22:42 ANd John Harris, being a pretentious dick has not mentioned Suede crashing the Brits and top 10 with Animal Nitrate. No perspective. #
• 22:42 @ mysgreen Not got there yet - this was the bit on just before it. Likely to see it post-footie tomorrow. #
• 22:45 The BBC appear to have a contractual obligation to show Menswe@r in every Britpop doc, lord knows why as they don't really merit it. #
• 22:47 @ magslhalliday It's five years old but I can't recall watching it at the time. It's ok but very strange in what it does and doesn't cov

• 22:50 @ magslhalliday Yet to hear a bad word about No Distance Left to Run too, it's even managed to persuaded a friend to reassess Blur #
• 22:53 @ PaulEbbs Thought it was the record company telling Albarn to piss off and write some singles for MLIR did that. #
• 22:58 @ magslhalliday I think you were right about the first album. I think the Blur album itself made me realise just how good they were #
• 23:01 @ PaulEbbs Like I say, I think it's more important to Blur as a band than BP itsel
  f. #
• 23:09 @ PaulEbbs Jesus. At least it won't have Bono trying not to jizz over BB King. #
• 23:10 @ PaulEbbs Difficult - it had sod all critical or commercial impact at the time. Seemed more important in that chart failure galvanised Blur #
• 23:12 @ PaulEbbs Probably more MLIR that really got things kickstarted I'd say - sort of Blur's John the Baptist album to Parlife's Jesus. #
• 23:12 @ PaulEbbs Shit way of phrasing it but you get the drift.

• 23:21 @ PaulEbbs I blame him for the biggest conversion to Christianity I've seen in my lifetime... #
• 23:22 @ PaulEbbs ...200,000 people thanking God for U2 cancelling their Glastonbury slot #
