Message: <blockquote data-quote="Anonymous" data-source="post: 1987257832">He should never have gone for a single huge Leeds arena date - this venue should never have been booked in the first place. Even disregarding all the right-wing bad press, the last few albums have not provided much in the way of critical acclaim, chart hits or high sales. Outside of possibly London, the days of Morrissey being able to fill arenas in the UK is done. It's not 2006 anymore, and Morrissey needs to stop acting like those halcyon days are here to stay.  If he really wants to regain some traction in the UK, he needs to go back to doing smaller venues, and more shows. A full 20 date UK club tour, with packed sold out venues and decent atmospheres would go a long way towards turning around the sense of gradual decline of recent years. Whether his ego can accept that however, is another matter.</blockquote>
