Oh yes!!!!!!

101st minute goal from McTominay.
-
Jeez. Maupay really took one. I guess I didn’t see that. To me I just saw him get hit in the chin.
-
Oh, Maups. You gotta love the delayed reaction to getting hit on the chin.
-
And on comes the most devious little shit in football. Surely he can make something happen?
-
Omg. Beeyond frustration.
-
The problem seems really simple. It’s not bad luck. It’s that Brentford can’t shoot for shit. They are really awful. They take lots of shots that have no chance or that gets skied. How many shots have gone over the crossbar today? It must be 60,000.
-
I know.

87th

Please, oh, please, let this at least be a draw.
-
I swear, I’m so tired of watching Brentford almost score, that I am almost hoping for United to put them out of their misery. Almost. But not quite.
-
I’m gonna be so irritated if so. United do not deserve to get champions league football this year.
-
It’s ludicrous. Just no finishing quality. Bees can’t seem to keep the ball down and on target. They’re going to regret all these misses when united counters and scores.

We overshare. And overeat. And sometimes, the dogs attack our cars. This is national news today.

My ManUnited mate is always praising the shit out of Villa before we play -- I wish he would stop that crap!

I don't have the words to describe how much I love this video. It's been a personal favourite for a few years. I don't know the year -- '79? The haircuts, Glenn Tilbrook's tired eyes, his shirt and gold-lamé tie, the hanging cake tins and women working in the background, and the lyrics -- Jesus. So depressing and perfect and real and strangely hopeful, too.

The songs are marvelous. Seems like a bunch of talented kids trying to work out what direction they want to go. I especially love the first one, "Paradise Lost." Reminds me of very early Genesis/Moody Blues.
-
But has your doghead friend thus deployed the jinx?
-
3-0. I think we'll control this one.
-
That was the year -- 78 or 79? -- Frampton ended in the US. '76 and '77 were his peaks, if I recall, but then it got stupid.
-
Wow, what interesting history. I'm glad I made some foolish assumptions and got to see this.
-
Hat tip to @chrisp65 ...

I think the critics respected Marriott. But sometimes that's the kiss of death. In '76 and '77, Frampton and "Framptonness" were inescapable in America. I wonder whether part of it was how the record labels chose to promote or not promote the artists. But in the end, with the crazily talented Steve Marriott, I have to throw up my hands and say America can be kind of thick sometimes.

It’s a hard question, and an interesting one, too. I feel like anything I say, that attempts to be serious, sounds really pretentious, but I do think it has something to do with the more distinctive English identity of Small Faces with very English cultural references? Maybe? Entirely different music, but a bit like Blur, who never really caught fire in the USA. Frampton in United States was a little more at least at first, of a kind of teen idol, but a little more mystical and deep, somehow. The lyrics aren’t exactly Chaucer.
-
How come Britain never really embraced Peter Frampton? What’s the matter with you people? I don’t get it.
