'Flip' anyone?

"someone's got it in for him"...more like someone exposing him for the nasty, and sadly young, bigot that he is

I am absolutely with SJ here. Redknapp is an old dinosaur whose many views on life are maybe MAYBE understandable even if not forgivable (see also Atkinsone etc). Mackay is 41 for f*ck sake, that's 10 years younger than me, and works in an 'industry' where 40%ish of the players are from ethnic minorities. I find it really quite depressing this these pathetic, juvenile and, at the bottom-line, racist crap is still so prevalent in the game. If someone acted like that in my company they would be out on their ear, rightly so.

I am sure it's great but do we need two foooking threads on how great it is?

...then, there was that scottish girl who worked at Bushells about 12 or 13 years ago* *sighs, legs go wobbly*

the popularity of using the term 'meme' *looks at some friends disapprovingly*

Balotelli for ?16m is an absolute steal. Look at what prices very average forwards have been going for....*er, Carol anyone?

er, snorks isn't seeking answers

Mail or Independent Straefer?

This is brilliant - well worth a look for a laugh, 70s footballers at home...spot old saggychops Harry before Sandbanks - most of their homes look pretty suburban compared to today's (my not especially rich cousins used to live next door to Sir Tev so I guess it shows how things have changed) ..... in some ways (most of the wives still look a bit Wagish) http://www.theguardian.com/football/gallery/2014/aug/21/memory-lane-1970s-footballers-at-home-in-pictures

your Irish Mick - you tend to roll up bar/pub as the same type of establishment, when they aren't

I think you need a proper pubby bit to qualify as a gastropub, hence I agree that Franklins isn't really a pub at all. All subjective of course.

Where's Nettie?

The Engineer in Primrose Hill was not far behind teh Eagle

Personally, I'm looking forward to Salsaboy on the French

A pub crawl that end up at the Flying Pig?? Count me out

Jocks - tight men, loose woman Welsh - warm in voice, cold in heart, Irish - welshman who could swim where could the fun end?

My dad had a great story where he moved a sofa from Whitechapel to Mile End (big, haevy duty old style thing) and he bought the lifters a pint at every pub they passed, which they drank sitting on the sofa....if they went straight up the Whitechapel Road that's a fook of a lot of pubs, or was in 1960.

to drain ones arteries into a warm bath after half a bottle of Brandy or a 2 second plummet off Beachy Head, that's the question
