    I'm an italian Simple minds fan since 1983. I saw 22 Simple minds gigs since 1984 to 2018 and i will go to Milan in April 2024 to see the 23gig! As a fan there is a lot to say about Simple minds' career. From my point of view, they probably would have been even more successful if Mick McNeil hadn't left the band (but Derek Forbes' departure was also painful). What can I say...but from a certain point of view, personally I prefer that they didn't have the great success of U2, for example, because the last 4/5 U2 works are embarrassing (and I was a big fan of U2 over the years 80/90), how embarrassing Bono vox's attitude is. While Jim (despite being a bit self-centered, and you can see it from the choices made in the band over the years) has made better musical (and otherwise) choices; and the last 4/5 Simple minds CDs prove it!! Ps Jim if you read this comment....I really miss Mel Gaynor too....although Cherisse is very good. Greetings from Italy

    This AFTV are sensationalist crap. They shouted so hard for Arteta out. They slated Odegaard decrying the signing. I have total contempt for this channel. Like Grant Cohn for 49ers they maybe fans but their rhetoric is oft harmful as they jump into their statements. They rant like drunk supporters when they as presenters need to stay.more subjective. This channel shouted so hard for Arteta out they should have little to no viewership left. I trusted the process, I pleaded for the Odegaard signing. I didn't cry for manager removal ( was relieved when Emery left and disappointed Arsene left his resignation as late).
