It's taken me a while to get round to this and funnily enough there were a fe Ukrainian and Russian bands in this month's playlist.

1 Бумбокс – Звёзды не ездят в метро
This band have been going for a while, but seem to be flavour of the month in Kyiv with all age groups at the moment

2 ...И Друг Мой Грузовик – Del Piero
Another Ukrainian band. One that I saw live a few years ago about the ex-Juventus player.

3 Кино – Электричка
a bit of classic Russian rock here. Some people on the bridge were playing Kino songs and we also saw the mural for Victor Tsoi that has just opened up in Kyiv. This song more or less sums up my trip to work too.

4 Hladno Pivo – Šamar
A bit of Croatian punk here to spice things up a bit.

5 Воплі Відоплясова – День народження
Probably the most well known Ukrainian band of the last 20 years.

6 Talco - Bella Ciao
The Napoli fans were actually singing this at the Emirates, so I had a bit of a listen to Talco after a long break from the anarchic Italians.

7 Pop Will Eat Itself - Bulletproof
The first British band on the list this month funnily enough.

8 Агата Кристи – Дворник
Some more classic Russian rock. Not my favourites, but good when the mood takes you there.

9 Cage the Elephant - Ain't no rest for the wicked
Cage the Elephant make the list again this month

10 Рубль – В мире животных
The foul mouthed Russians are back on the monthly playlist

11 Paul Weller - Bring back the funk
A track from the mod father

12 Flunk - I love music
The Norwegians are back on the monthly playlist for a second month

13 The Stone Roses - She Bangs the Drums
The Roses are still on the list.

shirt history AS Roma

Image
Roma were the club that I followed in Italy and although they are most famous for wearing red and yellow, hence the nickname giallo rosso the club didn't always wear those colours. AS Roma were formed in 1927 by a merger between SS Alba-Audace and Fortitudo-Pro Roma SGS with Italo Foschi being the driving force behind the merger. AS Roma could also trace their lineage back to FBC Roma who were formed in 1901 and who wore red and yellow, but the first shirts they wore took the red, white and blue of Fortitudo-Pro Roma. Roma soon established themselves at the top table of Italian football and in 1931 finished runners up to Juventus and by now had settled on red and yellow as their colours. However, you'll have to take my word for it because the picture below shows Attilio Ferraris in black and white. In 1942 Roma went one better and won their first Scudetto with Amadeo Amadei scoring 18 goals to help them secure the title. Pictured below he is wearing the change shirt with a repl

Boca Juniors shirt history

Image
The first game that I will be at on Sunday sees Boca Juniors take on Paris Saint Germain. I have always wanted to go and see Boca Juniors and I can't see me getting over to Argentina any time in the near future, so I am going to have to make do with seeing them in North London. On my travels I have met plenty of Boca fans, but funnily enough they have all been Russian or Ukrainian. I am a bit disappointed that Martin Palermo has now retired, but I am still looking forward to it. Obviously to do justice to the club history of Boca Juniors I'd probably have to write a book, so here's a quick history of their kit and colours instead. When Boca were formed in 1905 they originally played in pink, but obviously came round to thinking that this was a bad idea and changed to a light blue colour later in the year. They didn't stick with this shirt for very long either and for the 3rd time in a year decided to change the shirt colour, this time to black and white stripes. The fol

Sud Tribune, Dortmund

Image
The Sud Tribune at Westfalen is famed for the noise and support that it gives the BVB team. They started up early and carried on until well after the match had finished despite the poor result. At the end the team looked suitably disappointed when they thanked the fans. Nobody apart from the Hannover fans probably expected 96 to win. Hopefully better times for the Sud Tribune are just around the corner.
