#NowPlaying If I ever become famous enough to go on "Desert Island Discs" I'd just choose this entire LP and be done with it. Yeah, I'd be a dreadful guest, but I'd have satisfaction. Never fails to stir my soul...

So many other things to remember and celebrate Sir Patrick Stewart for... but this has to be one of the best line readings in the history of The Simpsons

Never like losing (obviously), and it’s bad news for the players who are going to struggle for minutes now this season. But a lot of changes against a good team in good form and this is always most likely what you get. I don’t like it. But I understand it. #avfc

from the Velvets debut, that only reached 171 in the US charts. Well most of the songs weren't exactly radio friendly, except maybe this one that actually sounds pretty mainstream. Until you learn what the song is about 😬 Lou Reed - There She Goes Again (Barcelona 1984) ▶️

Bob Dylan broke out the 'Time Out of Mind' classic “Not Dark Yet” for the first time in seven years...and it sounded nothing like the previous 191 live renditions of the song over the past three decades. Hear it now ⬇️ rollingstone.com/music/music…

If #AVFC can navigate tonight, you would expect the @Carabao_Cup to become more of a priority. Some words on the prioritisation of the cup. roundtable.io/sports/soccer/…
Aston Villa are one win away from making the Carabao Cup a serious opportunity for Unai Emery

Aston Villa are one win away from making the Carabao Cup a serious opportunity for Unai Emery

The Carabao Cup probably isn't at the top of Unai Emery's priorities this season, but victory at Bournemouth would put Aston Villa into another quarter-final, and I suspect the competition would...

Aston Villa can reach the League Cup quarter-finals for only the second time in 14 seasons this evening. Bournemouth have also won their last four matches and lost just once at home this term, but haven't beaten Villa on home soil in over four years. Intriguing tie... #AVFC

#AVFC are in @Carabao_Cup action this evening, against #AFCB. Here is my predicted XI for the game. It's pretty hard to call, give it a read and let me know your predicted team. roundtable.io/sports/soccer/…
Predicted XI for Aston Villa's Carabao Cup clash with Bournemouth

Predicted XI for Aston Villa's Carabao Cup clash with Bournemouth

Unai Emery is likely to make wholesale changes for Aston Villa's Carabao Cup trip to Bournemouth, but the strength of the side he can put out says plenty about how far Villa have come.

It’s Gordon Cowans’ birthday today. So here he is casually carving up the Inter defence like a Christmas turkey in 1990.
