If you check the Bus Times app before leaving the house you'll never miss one.

I wasn't having a go at Koeman for leaving Southampton I was having a go at Southampton for not trying much harder to keep him but if he wants to go I suppose that's the end of it. They've had a bit of luck with their last two managerial appointments doing so well at the club. It'll be interesting to see how well the next man does.

Indeed. It shows a serious lack of ambition to the fans and players alike. Just when you think they've got a good thing going they open the trap door again. I'd be thoroughly pissed off if I was a Southampton fan.

Chilli beer? Oh FFS!

I bet you do.

You won't let it lie will you. When I was at school kids would ask you who was the champion of the world (this was after Ali lost to Frazier in the first fight), and if you dared to say Joe Frazier you'd get some righteous ras claat licks. This is what you got coming to you boy. Ali is the King of the world forever. Let that be a lesson to you.

That's you again trying to have the last word is it LondonMix? FFS can we please move on?

Actually, now I come to think of it I'd already left Tulse Hill School when this happened. I'd just started working at what was then IPC Newspapers and specifically I worked for the Sunday People and The Sporting Life at that time. I was lucky enough to go and see the Rumble in the Jungle live at the cinema at Marble Arch and Ali came to visit my old school after he'd won back the world title against Foreman and made a visit to Brixton. A lot of the kids that lived there went to my school. He was a massive hero to all of us. In the picture is my old school friend Tony Sibbleys sparring with Muhammad after he'd made a speech. He'd asked for the biggest, toughest kid to get up and spar with him. Tony was around 6ft 4ins and a lovely bloke. Sadly, I lost touch with him after I left. https://greatwen.com/2012/01/17/muhammed-ali-in-tulse-hill-1974/

The Tulse Hill (Tavern) Hotel has made a much better fist of things with their makeover. You'd think in Dulwich Village they could go a bit more upmarket. https://www.tulsehillhotel.com/

Crikey! I thought Vista went out with the Ark.

Looks no better than a Travelodge. There goes the neighbourhood.

I installed Windows 10 from 8.1 getting on for a year ago now with no problems whatsoever. *smug face*

You're right on both counts Red Devil.

WTF is a Negroni?

Ali was a great man. Someone I loved and had the greatest of respect for. One of my heroes. He transcended sport. One of my biggest regrets is that when he made a surprise visit to my school in Tulse Hill in 1974 I missed him because I'd bunked off. RIP champ.

Sales aren't down though but the pubco obviously thinks they can gain mores sales than at present. The pool table is still there. It also serves the best pint of Guinness in Dulwich.

I wouldn't know. All my grandparents were dead before I was born.

Mac, first of all you spell his name wrong and then you get his quote wrong. It's 'float like a butterfly, sting like a bee.' I loved Muhammad Ali. He transcended boxing. A truly great human being. RIP champ.

I remember some mad parties in the room upstairs back in the 70s.

I'm much more looking forward to seeing how the Welsh get on. I think Bale could really light up the tournament. However, being English I'm going to be optimistic as we normally are when tournaments come around and say we'll make it as far as the semis. I've got a semi on just thinking about that. And another thing - James Milner has 60 caps. That's more than Jimmy Greaves, Glenn Hoddle, Alan Hudson and Gazza. He's a very good player but that can't be right can it?

Fair enough DTR, I'm not a great lover of televisions in pubs but The Castle was THE pub to watch the football in the locale for me. PS: I like Penge too.

The Irish. God love 'em.
