As it’s a sporting site stick in your sporting moments of the year, team of the year, achievement of the year, sportstar of the year, one to watch in the future etc etc.
I’m going to get murdered for this but I agree with the Scissor Sisters - I think it’s a cracker. The other single that I think is smashing is Chelsea Dagger by The Fratellis. You can listen to it on the soccer video thread on the latest McGeady video.
