Very happy about this. If the end of last season illustrated anything it's how much we missed two key midfielders (Dembele and Alli). Wanyama goes a long way to addressing that. Played his best football under Pochettino at Southampton too.

Not in the biblical sense. He was giving her a ride.

Possibly the first to do it in London, but it's been around in the states (Brooklyn) since 2006. According to wiki. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pickleback

I think Barkley's late season form is more symptomatic of Everton's. Stones suffered because of it too (and Lukaku with Belgium in mind). Agree with you about Walker- he's always prone to a gaff. I just think Sterling offers little more than Andros Townsend (i don't think either of them are good enough). Both with pace, can beat a man, but bad decision making and (especially recently in Sterling's case) little end product. Both are found out when playing against a decent defence. But, there aren't many decent options there. Perhaps Milner?

I personally prefer the bus. Top deck, headphones on, windows open, watching life go by. The extra 20 mins on the journey is a luxury rather than an inconvenience for me. I'd take that every time over a sweaty, shoulder to shoulder train commute.

I rather like the sound of it! It's been around for about 10 years according to wikipedia.

Have we compared preferred starting XIs for the first games? Mine for England, with rationale. The defence more or less picks itself with right back the only exception. Hart Rose Cahill Smalling Walker/Clyne Dier Wilshere Rooney Alli Barkley Kane Walker/Clyne is a tough call. Before the Portugal game I would've plumped for Clyne as I think he's better defensively. But there's been a fair bit of talk about setting this team up the Tottenham way (more on that to come) and Walker is better for me going forward. I don't think we need width up front as we have two full backs who bomb forward and get on the overlap. We do need two intelligent players playing left and right (not necessarily wide left and right) that can hold the play up, pick a pass and slip the full backs in on the overlaps. Rooney (left) and Barkley (right) fit the bill perfectly for me. Rooney HAS to start in my opinion. A lot was made about him disrupting Kane/Vardy/Alli. Possibly Alli because he played Alli left, but not Kane and Vardy. I don't think those two should play together. The Tottenham set up is one up top with Alli behind. Rooney has played well from that attacking left midfield position before, but there are many other reasons he has to start. He's captain. He has extensive major competition experience but the most important reason for me is to keep an eye on and keep in check Alli and Wilshere. Rooney was that young player with talent to spare and a questionable temperament- Alli and Wilshere will benefit no end from having Rooney on the pitch for guidance. Also, Rooney is still a brilliant passer of the ball and still scores (7 in 10 qualifiers). Wilshere is approaching a decent level of fitness and has to also start for me alongside Dier, with the mandate to move forward, linking defence and attack. A la Dembele at Spurs. I love the thought of Alli and Wilshere in the same team- bundles of talent and a bit of bite. No-one is talking about Barkley, but for me, on his day he's as good as anyone in the England team and he edges that right attacking midfield spot for me ahead of Lallana (what does he do?) and Sterling (one trick pony that decent defenders know how to play against). Sterling and Vardy as imnpact subs with pace to burn late in the game and Rashford might just become important too. Kane looks knackered to me.

Yes, in the greater scheme of things it's just an inconvenience, but it's becoming too much. Except for the Christians. Who don't seem to care either way and just stay out of your way.

I've never heard of the Peckham Rye Festival, which is a real shame cos looking at the link above, it would be right up my street. Literally and metaphorically. Juan Atkins playing in Peckham?!?!

Words I never thought i'd hear myself saying, "The Monkees new single is bloody gorgeous". And seems very apt for this thread.

I guess it was always going to have a shelf life due to the format.

A mention for the Manc family and Rottweiler's too.

My favourite of all types of chuggers are the Christians. They just stand meekly out of the way resolutely failing to get their message across.

Top(bottom?) of Rye Lane at the start of the common.

Cartlon Cole seems like a nice chap.

Is it true that when they were wheeling out the west Ham 'greats' last night, Marlon Harewood and Carlton Cole featured?

Not being deliberately difficult here; but isn't there an argument for letting nature get on with itself. Without interfering?

Londis is genuinely useful and I use it regularly. Will be very sad to see it go.

as you asked for London recommendations. Brick Lane Beigel Bake. Be surprised if you got it better or cheaper anywhere. And while you're there have one of their legendary Salt Beef Bagels.

There's a different bell button (the blue one) for disabled passengers at Wheelchair height. It alerts the driver that he needs to put the wheel chair ramp down.

The current ship is the Viking Sea, a new one I guess will be called the Viking Sun. Poor writing on the journos part.
