I'm sure Spurs had West Ham in mind when we played those matches.

No longer can an honest, taxpaying gent walk into a local drinking house and spend an afternoon watching a group of drunken Irishmen shouting at the horse racing on the telly. You've not been in The Castle then.

You're right Sean. Especially on a Friday and Saturday night when it's full of w*nkers. Pub crawls are shite anyway. Find a decent pub and stay there. Bollocks to all that walking.

I don't live anywhere near the place but you would have thought a pub that big really should be the hub of the local community.

Have you been to The Ivy House before? Yes. Have you been to The Ivy House for other events other than comedy? Yes. Have you ever been to The Ivy House just to have a drink? How often? Yes. Not that often. It's just a little out of the way from my usual haunts. How aware are you of The Ivy House's reputation as a live music venue of note in the late sixties and early/mid seventies, when it was known as The Newlands Tavern? Very much so. I saw some great bands there in the 70s, including Dr Feelgood, Kilburn & The High Roads (Ian Dury), Upp (with Jeff Beck in attendance) who later played with them there and many more who's names have slipped my mind. Is The Ivy House the nearest pub to your house? No. Have you ever been there (how often?) If not, why not? Does the pub feel inviting from the outside? (Briefly explain) Hmm... not really. Could maybe do with some plants or flowers to brighten in up a bit. Does the pub feel inviting inside? (Briefly explain) On the times I've been over the years and from my own experience yes but then it is not somewhere that I have visited regularly, certainly not since it's 70s heyday. What changes would make you more likely to use the pub? It was a great music venue and I'd like to see a return to that. I've also been to the Pull The Other One variety/comedy nights there and they've been great fun and a fabulous addition in more recent times. Other than that I think the way forward is to also provide some good food. There is plenty of room for diners in the pool room. Good luck.

Nothing wrong with Twinings.

Our strikers just aren't scoring enough this season. It says a lot that Gareth Bale and Rafael Van de Vaart are our top scorers.

I think you're right about the price hike in Pizza Express. I went there last week for a late lunch and though it was very good turned out a little more expensive than I thought it would be but then we did have a couple bottles of wine and brandy too.

Mockers had the power Scribe.

Ahem! Gattuso had earlier grabbed and pushed Joe Jordan by the throat during the second half and after the headbutt his antics carried on in the tunnel after the game and he had to be restrained by team-mates. I stand by my view that his ban was lenient. Re: the Blackpool result. Yup! Typical Spurs. Winners at the San Siro one week and losers at Bloomfield Road the next. I could make the excuse that we only had four fit defenders and several other players out but I won't bother and then as KPC has pointed out there is Bassong. We've proven in the past that we have the squad to cope but we defended very poorly and missed a hat full of chances. Not good enough.

For Gennarro Gattuso to only get a four game ban for his antics in last weeks's match in the Champions League beggars belief. They should have thrown the book at him. Ten games and a hefty fine for that sort of behaviour would have been far more appropriate. It's leniency sends out the wrong message. Hopefully Spurs will take all three points tonight in what will be a very tough game at Blackpool and move into third place above Man City.

It's his likely next location.
