I visited this pub in the early 70's shortly after the rat hole known as the Aylesbury estate was completed, as I lived in a council block a few hundred yards away, and found it ok. I usually went on a Saturday night, it was crowded with locals suited and booted as was the norm back then.

Shame to see you go and I do understand where you're coming from.

Global Village was the best for funk dance floor fillers, loved the place, and Monday night was motown night in 73,and 74.

Blimey I went to those 2 matches and watched the 1989 game in a mates flat in Tyrell road and then went to the Clock House for a top up.

The boat was very quirky and could only be accessed via a ferry from a pier opposite Cheyne Walk. It wasn't a club that was widely known about which usually meant no more than 40 0r 50 got in the place but the American DJ played some wonderful tunes, stuff that he had imported from the US which he was happy to chat to us about.

I thought the first Friday night Prem game was Arsenal v Leeds April 2004, which I went to and it was well attended. A few pints were downed after the game by many, including myself

I see the conspiracy against CSKA Fulham continues. Hazard really is far superior to Ronaldo, well he is when he plays. Oh hang on.....

Agreed. Never quite understood why Liverpool signed Balotelli either, that was a massive gamble that misfired.

I'd prefer to wait and see who, if anyone apart from Cech, we sign but in the meantime Chelsea Arsenal City United
