Happy for you Mick. Well deserved.

Think it was on ITV on Sunday.

Ah! Never been big fan of golf. Summer of '76 though. Phew! What a scorcher! You don't get summers like that anymore.

Eh? The Duel In The Sun. What the feck was that?

Otta Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Nice of you to be so pleased for The Irons too > They're your second team really aren't they ;-) Well I've always appreciated that they've always tried to play a passing game but Saturday's result against Chelski is all the more surprising because they were so poor at White Hart Lane the week before.

You can imagine the joy at Lush Towers when the results were coming in on Saturday. I think I may have been the only one here to predict a Swansea win. Is that correct? I've thought that a result like that has been a long time coming. No disrespect to Swansea. I thought they were superb. What Arsenal seem to be lacking is leadership on the pitch. Too many individuals not pulling in the same direction. Wenger has a tough job on his hands to get things right. Do you think he's up to it or is it time to bade him au revoir?

Nostalgia isn't like it used to be.

Last time I played Lucky Sevens at the Gowlett you could play five or six 45s. Can you only play one tune now?

Otta is totally correct.

I like in there and I remember it when it was a real shithole. Full of thugs. In fact an old friend of mine ran it for a while back in those days. It was fecking horrible then. It's got a fine selection of ales, great pizza, a pool table, friendly bar staff and the music is often very good. Do they still do Lucky Sevens on Thursday nights?

West Ham 0 Chelsea 1 Arsenal 1 Swansea 2 Fulham 2 Tottenham 2 Liverpool 2 Southampton 1 Man City 2 Everton 1 QPR 2 Aston Villa 1 West Brom 2 Stoke 0 Reading 1 Man Utd 3 Norwich 2 Sunderland 0 Newcastle 2 Wigan 2

1963

And bring back the European Cup Winners' Cup.

Mary J was on Later a few months ago and she tore it up. Pure soul, straight outta church. Florence sounds like nails dragging down a blackboard in comparison.

In my experience in going to White Hart Lane all these years it is the Chelsea fans who are by far the worst when it comes to antisemetic chanting swiftly followed by Arsenal then West Ham.

I saw him back in '88 and he was fabulous.

Bobby Womack's still got it by the lorry load and he's playing the Forum tonight. I'm might end up going. Just waiting on a call. Fingers crossed.

Good article this from a Jewish West Ham fan about Sunday's antisemitic chanting by the West Ham supporters at White Hart Lane on Sunday. http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/blog/2012/nov/26/west-ham-antisemitic-chants-sickening

I concur with all the above Mr Ben.

Yeah, I was there too. Saw 'em twice that year. Knebworth was the other one. As for the age thing it would seem it's perfectly all right for blues and jazz musicians to grow old and continue to perform and record so why can't The Stones? Rock n'roll or pop music in general has always been associated youth but these guys and many other musicians from the 60s/70s and beyond are still performing and their audience has grown up with them. Should artists do the same? Did Picasso stop painting once he got past 60? No, of course not and he produced some of his work well into his 70s. Bottom line is they are still very popular and that's why people still want to go and see them and for those that can afford these ridiculously over-inflated ticket prices will pay top dollar to do so. You can say they are past their best and I wouldn't argue with you but they can still put on a fantastic, powerful and energetic performance that people more than half their age don't even come close too. Enjoy the gig Giggirl.

So jealous. Can't you sneak me in in your handbag?

Not me unfortunately. It's the first time I've missed them in London since the 70s. They are a fantastic live band. The best.

Yeah I was there and heard it. All the West Ham supporters seemed to sing were songs against Spurs fans. None about getting behind their team or players apart from Bubbles before the match. It was a minority that sang the really offensive stuff and it did fizzle out but it was loud enough for everyone to hear. Tuesday: Sunderland 1 QPR 1 Aston Villa 2 Reading 1 Wednesday: Chelsea 2 Fulham 2 Everton 2 Arsenal 1 Southampton 2 Norwich 1 Stoke 2 Newcastle 1 Swansea 2 West Brom 2 Tottenham 2 Liverpool 0 (I'm going. Looking forward to this one). Man Utd 4 West Ham 0 Wigan 1 Man City 2
