A couple of times I've almost asked if it's supposed to be horribly pixelated, now I know.

Mine's pretty self explanatory I would think, it's Mick Foley.

Cantona was my favourite player of all time in 2009 so I googled "Eric Cantona", cropped the best photo of him in the 92-94 kit, then added a green and yellow border because it had the same colours as my portfolio at the time.

Ainsley is my hero, as an aside I've slowly been increasing the zoom on his face to see if anyone noticed, which is a bit mental now I think about it.

This is the original, for perspective.

:D You should have kept it quiet for longer. I'll rep all the same.

Bruno is my favourite player. I did have Orlandi scoring that great cup goal against Newcastle but fancied a change for the new forum.

Oh, Reg, my Brighton supporting mate added that Bruno bloke to the conversation we use on facebook to arrange playing board games (cool as fuck in itself obviously), and he took about 3 months to actually leave it. A few times it would come up saying 'Seen by Bruno'. He never joined us though, sadly.

Game of Thrones usually, sometimes Settlers of Catan if we can't be arsed. We played Risk Legacy as well, which is great fun.

Michael Bridges. My favourite Leeds player. Everyone kinda forgets him because he wasn't fit the Champions League year but a lot of people forget the reason we got to the Champions League was in big part thanks to Bridges.

He scored a real decent amount of goals that one season and they were decent goals (not all tap ins etc) but he gets forgotten about behind Viduka etc.

I had tickets to see them this year in Ibiza but we then realized we actually got our flights totally wrong, but that's a story for another time.

However, best there ever was? Bold claim. They look pretty good but it'd certainly be a matter of taste (and the general 'night' as it is with EDM) to say which is best. Mine is a toss up between The Prodigy and Avicii, both have been respectively pretty fucking amazing nights.

Mine's Emile Verhaeren, a 19th-century French poet who I sometimes translate for homework. Previously I've had Camus, Ezra Koenig, a photograph by Robert Frank, and the cover to an Andrew Bird album.

Avicii is the absolute worst live, The Prodigy are pretty cool though.

Mine's Jauz. Didn't get to go to Hard, where he had his big league debut, but he's the most unique electronic artist out there right now. Actually, that's probably a stretch, but he's really fucking cool. Listen to some of his shit if you get the chance
