Tell you what was top bants, was when Cesc went on strike so he could join his boyhood club

[Pioneer]

Who had been tapping him up for years but who then hung him out to dry, then he tried to come back to Arsenal but his mentor said "nah you're alright mate, we've got Zelalem" and no one else wanted him and then he had no option but to sign for a club managed by Jose Mourinho.

Top bants.

Wenger begged him to stay for an extra year and would then be free to go, and Cesc complied.

Top bants I say.

The dude told the club he wasn't playing and was moving to Barcelona.

We couldn't play him
Couldn't keep him
Couldn't sell him to another club (City would've paid £50m plus that season)
Nope had to sell him to Barcelona for £30m

Meanwhile we plaid United and Liverpool with no team and two tough qualifiers vs Udinese.

Even Nasri realised how bad it was and played vs Liverpool. Got £25m from City for him when they could've easily waited bought someone else.

Made me laugh when his sister said on twitter - once a Gooner always a Gooner.

:clap:

f**ked up family IMO

Fwiw glad we didn't sign him....would've been a mess trying to play him with our current list of midfielders.

I'm looking forward to Jack White and my friend tells me the ska orchestra are good. I haven't really looked at the line-up though.

one night before all the headlines finish on the main stages, saves all the bother of queuing to get in to the fecker.

Very fortunate with the weather though, not sure I'm up for all that trudging if it's wet.

Who do you recommend on the line-up Pixies, obvious-lot aside?

[Pioneer]

Praying the weather stays like this.

Obviously the main recommendation is not to worry too much about the line-up and just wander around finding new stuff in weird places, but since you ask...

My one absolute must-see is Tune-Yards (Friday evening, West Holts). Stunning live. And she's followed by Jurassic 5 and MIA, so that's going to be a f**king sweet night.

I'm pissed off the De La Soul and Detron 3030 clash, but hey ho. And Parquet Courts are good too, but they clash with Tune-Yards, so hey ho. Another big clash is Jon Hopkins/Pixies, but I can't miss Pixies.

Four Tet's doing three sets over the weekend - definitely try to catch at least one of those if you can.

Also try and check out Young Fathers, who are on the JP stage early on Saturday. They'll be deafening.

Sunday is all about the Park stage - Phosphorescent followed by Yoko Ono followed by St Vincent followed by James Blake is going to be immense. May have to ditch Phosphorescent for Dolly Parton, but with a heavy heart.

If you see a line of people going through a crowd holding their index fingers up, I'll be one of them.

A patented technique to not getting lost, don't steal it now.
