arsenal are finished i think. wenger has lost his mind, as in "i'll buy strikers instead of some midfield replacements after losing nasri and fibreglass". liverpool are playing well enough to finish 4th again, and i think they will be more consistant this year, especially when gerrard comes back.

just thought i'd quickly post this.

this was 10 years ago today, the last time i saw england play world class. i was going to a wedding that night and i remember the fifth goal being scored listening to 5live on the way there. since then the side has shown how crap they can be more than how good they can be.

i don't think england are even close or good enough to win a major tournament. but now capello has gone, maybe all this defensive frame of mind football and bullshit that came with him can be put to bed now. plus the media need to stop thinking that rooney is the only player england has.

i'd like to see a lot of young players at the tournament, oxlade-chamberlin for one. 18 years old, fearless, pace, can cross, can score... could turn out to do what owen did in 98.

mick mccarthy has gone. he took wolves as far as he could and did a good job to keep the side in the premiership for three years, but i think it was his time. i just hope wolves show some ambition and try and get someone like steve bruce or alan curbishley, probably end up with ian dowie. #lackofambition

there's word redknapp might take paul scholes to the euros if he's in the job by then. now i think scholes is a legend, but he's 37. if we want to do what germany did at the last world cup then we need to get the likes of wilshire tournament experience.

I thought he did alright, he got wolves up into the premier league, and helped them stay for an extra season when no one thouhg they would.

he did. but everyone is dissapointed with the lack of ambition when it came to bringing in players. could of done with someone like robbie keane, his wages would of been worth it to stop up but wolves won't pay that much. but it's not all down to mccarthy, the majority of wolves fans feel sorry for him and have respect for what he's done. the board and players have to share the blame.

Would make me laugh if they end up with someone like Rafa. Mick did a good job but he needed new blood and failed to get any.

Now Standard Chartered are getting involved with the Luis Suarez thing, bet Liverpool's owners are not happy in the slightest. If he isn't careful he'll be got rid of.

frimpong seems like a good choice though... hopefully going to the wolves man u match in a couple of weeks...

there was a bit of bad luck ith frimpong being injured and bassong as well. but he's had three years to develop the team, most of the squad are championship class players.

no ambition was the problem, i don't think it was all down to mick. but he should of stood his ground against the board if they were saying you can't have this player or that because of money issues. wolves turn over around 60 million a year and it's being wasted on a new stand.

someone like benitez wouldn't come to the wolves, i'd be happy with steve bruce or curbishley (being as he saved west ham that year so he has experience). but the board have messed up. if mccarthy had to go, then why not do it in january so whoever comes in can buy the players they feel they would need to help wolves stop in the premier league.

they took out peel house in wolvers as well so that the owner of wwfc could build a hotel... bit stupid if you ask me. but also, surely it's better to spend the money on players rather than making the place look better? also, it's not going ot be finished now they won't get as much money.

steve morgan owns a building company, so the only thing he see's is developing the ground. get the football right first.

So Rangers in administration and Portsmouth might be going that way again too. Not a good time for football really. Hope that teams take note of whats happening and stop spending stupidly.

i know what's been going on at the wolves isn't exactly ideal. but the news today puts it into perspective, this is why i'm glad that wolves are one of the only few clubs not in millions of debt. i feel sorry for rangers, and especially portsmouth fans becuase they've had this for years now. just when they think they are out of it, it starts all over again.

    • Makes sense, I always assumed they all went for 1D members regardless.
    • Do you prefer doing Capital Breakfast to Radio 1 or the other way round?
    • Jesus christ, Olivia Rodrigo was around 3 years ago!?! I thought she was only born in 2019. Anyway. They are doing it to rival commercial networks, on the main 2 lists anyway with rotating them more. Which all in all is a pit of misery. I'm sick to bloody death of Stick Season, it's an utter bag of mediocre wank that makes me even prefer James Blunt circa 2005. Radio 1 still is more expansive however, loved stuff they play and make their own early days, like Jungle Back on 74 like last year.  They can't lose doing stuff that, or else they become bland like everyone else. They have done that for many years though. I heard a song on a March 2001 aircheck from Chris Moyles recently and rediscovered a song by Kings Of Convenience, called Toxic Girl. Totally lost over 25 years but totally love it like it's new. Radio 1 has always played the big time pop stuff since your nan was 3. But they always have and still do throw something on the playlists that isn't what everyone else has. I hope they continue to do that as it sets them apart. 
    • I think they are looking too much into this and need to get a proper job where you have to get up at 5am.
    • Zayn's current song isn't on the R1 playlist so would be odd for him to do an interview I guess, not sure either would want it?
    • You have both presented together before your show on Capital. Have you spent time together as friends since, or is the reunion like getting to know one another all over again?   I’m a long time listener in my mid 30s and now outside the R1 target audience age… Chris is into barbecuing and Jordan is into air frying, have you both noticed a change in the other since the days of R1? And are you under any pressure to be on trend at Capital? 
    • What do you both miss most about your time at R1?
    • How are you finding the early mornings, and having your afternoons free? Was it easy getting to grips with a different desk and play out system? Do you have any upcoming OBs and anything else exciting planned for the show that you can exclusively share with Unofficialmills? 😀
    • This research is based on the DJs’ voices - pitches, speech rates and fillers like ums and ahs they use - so it’s not affected by sound effects. But yes according to the report Scott is listed as a Radio 2 DJ instead of Radio 1.
    • The playlist has definitely got a bit narrower this year, it feels like. Artists like Taylor Swift, Harry Styles, Drake and  Doja Cat seem to be played in every show, even when they’re not on the playlist. Other artists who get a few plays a week, such as Niall Horan, always seem to have the same song played, in his case, Heaven. Whenever they dive into Calvin Harris’ backlog it always seems to be Slide and Promises pulled out, even though they’re two of his least upbeat songs. Most songs they play seem to have been from the 2020s, instead of throwing in a few older hits like Capital does, which is something I think they could do.
    • Jamie Laing out of the schedule for Going Home today - Lauren Layfield in with Katie Thistleton.
    • Bit of a scoop getting an exclusive interview with Zayn, I wonder why he decided not to do Radio 1 too? 
    • Who are your favourite artists that are not anywhere close to being on the playlist?   Are there ever songs that make you want to start pulling your hair out (in general, no need to put anyone on blast lol)?
    • Hi to both, miss you loads on radio 1 and hope that you’re doing good at capital 🙏   What was the background to your exits from Radio 1? Do you have any regrets from how it ended?    This one’s more to Jordan, but do you enjoy TV presenting more than radio? What are your targets in TV?
    • I do think if you distracted by talking you wouldn’t put a podcast on in the car. To me unless you used to driving so often that you don’t get distracted and drive for long distances it feels suited to podcasts. I find it odd including Ryan Seacrest or Howard Stern as I don’t know who listens to them in the U.K. Can imagine Chris Evans distracting and annoying on radio in general same for Chris Moyles. I can imagine Scott as not too distracting maybe even in his radio 1 days although if I was a driver I could find Innuendo Bingo or Funny Business distracting based on the humour of the features but Scott’s got a very soft gentle tone of voice doesn’t come across as loud or in your face. I think when you are on in the working day where people maybe listening as said in car, in the office or tradespeople on a job listening to the radio theres a certain style needed
