    [Albion] A song list to sum up your feelings about De Zerbi’s departure

    A bit of 'So Long It's Been Good To Know', a bit of 'Don't Go' and a bit of 'I Will Survive', but in the end it's always:

    [Albion] How much appreciation will you show Roberto De Zerbi after the match tomorrow?

    I can't remember any previous time when we were looking for a manager and Sporting Lisbon's current coach was in the bookies odds. :ROFLMAO:

    [Albion] How much appreciation will you show Roberto De Zerbi after the match tomorrow?

    Of course he's not. The club is in the finest hands its ever been in. Whatever happens tomorrow we will be at least equalling our third best ever league finish. The best and second best were the previous two seasons. With or without a manager, the club is in a fantastic state. The calibre...

    It wasn't a long time, but it was a f*** of a good time.

    [Music] Songs where the most recognised/famous version was covered by others before them

    In a similar vein to Russ Ballard, Tommy James and the Shondells were responsible for the original and best versions of Tiffany's: Billy Idol's and Joan Jett's Their greatest hits album is well worth having. Incidentally, their producer Richie Cordell who wrote 'I Think We're Alone...

    A Racey B Side before it was rejigged by the choreographer and 'Easy Rider' star. I distinctly remember that the first time I saw the video for Basil's version was on the comedy sketch show 'Three of a Kind' (Tracey Ullman, Lenny Henry and David (No not that one and definitely not that one)...

    [Music] Songs where the most recognised/famous version was covered by others before them

    Speaking of Russ Ballard and Rainbow: I disagree, possibly because they're the first versions I heard, possibly because I fear the wrath of @Kosh , but for me Blackmore's versions of both are the best.

    Kind of, but it was more than a decade ago: https://www.northstandchat.com/threads/heres-the-original.290418/#post-6043282

    [Music] Songs where the most recognised/famous version was covered by others before them

    Mike Nesmith' s 'Different Drum' was first offered up as a Monkees song, but bizarrely rejected by the management. He used it in a throwaway bit on the show, but I believe that his lovely bluegrass version came much later. It was then recorded by The Greenbriar Boys Before being picked up...

    [Albion] Albion Women

    The 'Europe is a higher level' argument is based on the premise that the only way into Europe is to join a side already in it. It's not a closed shop and if a tranche of good players stay at a club, they would make it together. Yves Bissouma said that he was leaving us to play in European...

    [Music] Convince an old bloke that not every song by somebody (featuring somebody else) is crap.

    Probably best. The Eurythmics featuring Aretha Franklin is a bit like Newhaven FC featuring George Best.

    [Football] Where should each EPL Team Be?

    Interesting that Liverpool bought Mac Allister from us and were prepared to break the bank to get Caicedo, whilst we were linked with moves for both Diaz and Nunez before they went elsewhere and then ended up at Anfield.

    I'll give it a go later, but TotP has livened up. Joe Tex and The Trammps.

    Clannad? Enya? Without the Irish mystique, they're just Mumford & Sons. ;)

    Suzanne Vega's and the Zutons' originals were both superior to these featuring covers.

    My error. Just looked at the single and it was a 'featuring'. You win.
