We've got a Ghanaian from Udinese, Sulley, Sulley;

We've got a Ghanaian from Udinese, Sulley, Sulley;

And Ferguson moaned, the purple nosed coont,

When Sulley stepped up to put us in front,

And sent us marching on to Wembley in the cup!

All please learn this for Saturday - apart from Atilla who is busy learning Land of our Fathers! ;)

Shant on!

Thes best place to watch footie near London Bridge is in Borough High street, theres a couple of pubs that have Sky.

[ratty]

The Market Porter is also good for footy and has a million tellys down at London Bridge! :)

[atila the gooner]

Play up Fulham, Fulham play up. ;-)

[mockney piers]

Eh? I didn't think the Market Porter had tellies. The one next door does though (wheatsheaf?) so you can drink nice beer in the Porter and then go next door for the match. Perhaps via the spectacularly expensive (but incredibly nice) sausage sandwiches in between.

Nice one Ratty - Have you heard our Torres song? Very similar, wonder where you got the idea from. ;-)

The Horseshoe at London Bridge is another good pub for footy. Not too busy to. :))

[atila the gooner]

The market porter doesn't, I worked just around the corner from that watering hole for 8 years, and I certainly don't recall ever seeing a TV screen. The best sporty pubs are ones on Borough High Street.

[ratty]

Maybe I have just gone mad! What's the pub on the riverside with loads of tellies???

Fulham did indeed play up on the last game of the season! Good luck to 'em!!

It is tradition for us to let teams win so they can stay up - we did the same to relegate the scum when we played the baggies 3 years ago! We do it deliberately - honest!

[Sandperson]

The Horseshoe has got VERY busy since it's been done up. I've been in there a couple of times recently. The St Christophers is a good bet and there are a few others like The Rose if you like a bit of Irish action.

You're not thinking of The Doggetts Coat and Badge at Blackfriars Bridge are you?

[mockney piers]

Big teams in poaching players by 'reported interest' leaks shock.

So Ashton to go to Man U for a laughably insulting 'offer' of ?8 million? I really hope not.

I gather free-spending Pompey are also interested.

The guy is class and apparently the club haven't even bothered to discuss this with him yet. No wonder we can't hang on to players :(

"P.S - If you're an Ipswich supporter we're never going to get along. My second team is Norwich"

I can only assume your fondness for "the Budgies" is born of feelings of (misplaced) pity, or evidence of the legendary Scouse sense of humour.

[ratty]

Fook knows where we are getting all this money from, unless Sasha's daddy has flogged another nuclear submarine to some Angolan war lord!

I am determined to find out what the pub is I was going on about! Watch this space.

BTW My Cup Final nerves are kicking in HARD at the moment! Cannot concentrate on anything this week! :(

[ratty]

I think the pub I was thinking of was the old thamesside inn perhaps

[Keef]

Is it the one by the cathedral with the ship wet moored outside ratty?

Market porter is opposite borough market, and definitely doesn't have tellys.

That's called the Thameside Inn and they definitely don't have TV's, that was my local pub, work wise at least, for over 8 years.

[Keef]

Fair enough, I knew it never had TV's when I'd been there, but haven't been in for a good few years (usually do the MP when in the area).

[ratty]

Agh I give up! :)

[atila the gooner]

Hard luck Palace, I feel your pain. Would have been nice to see you back in the Prem. I've got a soft spot for Palace as I went to the same school as Ben Watsons dad, and Sean Scannell knows my son very well as they went to the same school together and are still good pals to this day.

[SimonM]

Bad luck Colin.....still Palace v United, Warnock v his old mate and assistant Blackwell will have that little bit more piquancy next season...>:D

[Keef]

I was pleased to see Bristol win, nothing against Palace as a club, although plenty against Warnock!

I think Bristol in the Prem would be interesting, don't think they'd be a Derby...

And if Leeds Utd get promotion via the play-offs you'll have plenty more to get excited about next season.

I'd really like to see Leeds get that bit of luck they need to get promoted, because let's face it they haven't had much lately have they. Certainly their fans deserve it and without the 15 point deduction that would have been up there already.

[spadetownboy]

up the zenit. Oh id rather be a tim than a hun.......

[atila the gooner]

Hard luck Rangers, but to be fair, Zenit were worthy winners last night as were Hull.

[spadetownboy]

well done zenit, at least tommy burns died a happy man.
