The documentary was class, absolutely fascinating viewing. I've probably streamed more Boyzone this week than in the previous 10 years of having Spotify :lol:

Dog's Dinner. That and Stereophonics songs I'd listen to again after this week.

TBH I'm all for there not being a song off a brand new included as hard to know which is necessarily being pushed, and in this day and age all those are typically done before the album's release. If it had been running longer, I'm sure fka Twigs would have had 2-3 entries previously included, and wouldn't definitely necessitate a 4th this week.

Yes, what a final! It's easily Eminem and Dre, but Bob in my top 3 from this round too.

Britney's dirge

Jungle for me. Worst song winning... :zzz:

I'm on board with Evanescence this round and P!nk next, definitely 6th/7th best in this list.

Entered a 70s song I Shazam'd at a party last weekend

Murillo is destined for the very top. He's absolutely excellent and can do anything. Lots of comparisons recently to Forest and Leicester's win, well Murillo is our Kante in that respect, on the way up and so far above the level.

Always going to be difficult to produce a list of this kind given the amount of releases there are each week, I think this does a good job of it. I voted for Ethel. Squid, Doves and Franz (+ Heartworms) are all decent but none anywhere near as good as songs previously released from those campaigns. The rest of the list I didnt care for.

For Mexico or Imola it's a no brainer, Mexico goes every time. On Spa I'm quite conflicted. On the one had I'm all for rotations to come into place, ideally with the view of reducing the calendar down to 20, and the races it produces are far from top tier - it's easily a track I could see less of, but it's always a shame to see less of the sports historical base whilst we go to more places with no passion but tonnes of cash.

Nuno is a fantastic coach. I don't feel like this run is unsustainable in anyway, that we're being particularly lucky or anything (although Wolves had 3 great chances at 1-0, from 2-0 the game was superbly managed). Playing football in a way which suits the squad we've got, not keeping the ball for the sake of it, but winning it and getting it forwards where a trio behind the striker with huge amounts of skill and pace can thrive in space. A centre half pairing which is absolutely immense and has all the qualities that top class pairings in the past (e.g. Vidic and Ferdinand, Terry and Carvalho) have had, both of them surely set for great things above what we might be able to offer, and all done without our best midfielder from last season (stretchered off 10 mins into the season) and our record signing (injured during the first international break). A tough run coming up with 7 of the next 8 against teams in the top half, but I don't see us finishing lower than 5th now.

A Clean Bandit and Rag'N'Bone Man Christmas top 2 so recently seems absolutely bonkers now. JCB was quite funny at the time but when I listened to it more recently... no thanks.

Nearly forgot this... turned a 3 way tie to a 5 way one with my three oops.

Red Bull and Perez have in effect both screwed themselves over by leaving them with no other good options. Hard to imagine Lawson doing much there, but I don't see any of their other options doing much either.

10 Max Verstappen - potentially his best championship, delivered when his car was the best and kept pace when it wasn't 1 Sergio Perez - probably in the worst 5 seasons since i started watching f1 7 Lewis Hamilton - still a top driver in races but continually let down by is qualifying, will need to up his game vs Leclerc 7 George Russell - a solid season, 8 Charles Leclerc - regularly got the better of his team mate and delivered the maximum from the car 7 Carlos Sainz Jr - this season pretty much summed up Sainz, consistently good and capable of delivering over and above in the odd race 7 Lando Norris - a really difficult one to grade, in some ways he's had as impressive season as anyone on the grid, but often let down by his own starts and he should really have delivered a closer title fight in the second half of the season 7 Oscar Piastri - an improvement this season, worryingly tailed off in the last few races. the potential is there to be McLaren's challenger. 6 Fernando Alonso - possibly the hardest driver on the grid to accurately judge given his teammate and the dog of a car 3 Lance Stroll - getting worse 8 Pierre Gasly - wasn't ever underperforming his car and then had the best last few races of anyone 4 Esteban Ocon - just average generally, marked down for the way he lost his seat 2 Logan Sargeant - was let down by Williams in some ways (giving Albon his car) which would have dented confidence, but did nothing close to warranting any more time 5 Alexander Albon - think this was his least impressive season in Williams, some costly crashes 3 Daniel Ricciardo - just utterly disappointing, painful to watch his most recent years given I was once such a fan. please let this be the end. 5 Yuki Tsunoda - as mid as mid gets 4 Zhou Guanyu - bumped up by a cracking drive in Qatar 4 Valtteri Bottas - knocked down by that showing in Abu Dhabi. a shame to watch him at times 9 Nico Hulkenberg - brilliantly consistent, a shame Haas couldn't quite get 6th in the constructors. Proved his status as a brilliant midfield driver 5 Kevin Magnussen - did ok at times, but probably right that this is his time in F1 up 6 Oliver Bearman - has looked impressive on his outings, looking forward to seeing more of him 5 Liam Lawson - was expecting more after last season 5 Franco Colapinto - excitement followed by poor x Jack Doohan

I had a definitive 8 from that: 1. Pogues 2. Waitresses 3. Bruce 4. Pretenders 5. Wham! 6. Jona Lewie 7. East 17 8. Darkness Then added Coldplay and Ronettes (Sliegh Ride)

Sorry I just went by Spotify, the albums they were on my Christmas playlist entries came out in 2003 and 2005 so assumed that was when they were released. Move everything up and add: 2 The Wombats - Is This Christmas? 1 Bo Selecta - Proper Chrimbo Whilst the Fleet Foxes and Mumfords songs people have voted for are better than songs I've included, I can't seriously include anything which I'd listen to all year round!
