American Football @ Brooklyn Bowl @ the O2, London, Thurs 27th August 2015.
A band I thought I’d never get the chance to see live, I’ve now seen twice.

And the reason for the Munich trip: The Audi Cup!
Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, AC Milan, and Spurs playing 4 games in 2 days, how could you say no.
One of my favourite stadiums I’ve visited, apart from being a bit out of the way, it’s a huge stadium, but never felt horrendously busy, you could drink at your seats, and the football wasn’t bad too! (2 Bayern wins, getting to see Spurs win away in Europe finally! and seeing Bale/Modric play again albeit against Spurs). Would love to see a Bundesliga or a Champions league game here in the future to get the real Bayern Munich experience.

A few photos from my 5 days in Munich 2 weeks ago.
Loved the city, the culture, loved the 30 degree weather all week, loved the beer and the food, and loved the experience. I need to learn more German to actually get by better but somewhere I would love to visit again.

Refused - Elektra
Freedom is an interesting album because I’m still not 100% on knowing where I stand with it.
It’s hard not to judge Refused on their past and this album is not The Shape of Punk To Come but it was never going to be. It’s different and I guess I’m ok with that.
This is one of my favourite tracks so far, it’s got the power and edge of previous Refused tracks, but it feels relevant and contemporary and for a 20 year old band still has a freshness to it, and it rocks.

New White Hart Lane!
61,000 capacity, with 17,000 in the biggest single tier stand in the UK, retractable pitch as well as an artificial pitch to hold concerts and for the NFL respectively (at least 2 games per year for 10 years), and a skywalk. This is a pretty incredible piece of architecture. Populous have done a great job and I’m so glad they kept the single tier south stand concept from the original design.
The downside will be saying goodbye to the Lane before it’s demolished to make way, and Spurs are based somewhere else (hopefully still within London) for a year.

The Movielife @ Electric Ballroom, Camden, Thurs 18th June 2015.
Big tick off the bucket list for another band I grew up listening to, that I thought I’d never get to see.

Another end to another season.
5th with 64 points hasn’t been a bad first season for Poche (for context AVB’s first season was 5th with 72), obviously some hoped for more, but considering finishing 7th if things didnt go our way yesterday, I’d say it hasn’t been bad.
No matter what the results, I’ve enjoyed this season; 14 home games (only 5 missed) including my first North London derby (a victory no less!) and getting to watch a Spurs game with my old man, 2 away games, all 5 home European games, a European away trip to Florence, all 4 home League Cup games, a League Cup final at Wembley (my first Wembley trip), 2 home FA Cup games, and a youth game too!
Bring on next season!
(above is a picture from nearly every game this season I was at, apart from against nottingham forest in the league cup)
