Not at all. I simply said that United fans that have never ince been to Old Trafford irritate me. Sorry if that offends you. I know that you will take particular umbridge to my comments on this thread given who you support. I shan't lose any sleep over it though.


Alan Medic. Apologies for not acknowledging your post. I know a couple of United suporters that are adamant it shouldn't be used. Horses for courses.

Ahh right. I'm with you now. Someone starts a thread about United fans in Dulwich, then someone else questions why all these Londoners support out of town teams with no connection to them. I make a comment and I'm the big bad wolf. Fair enough.


Tell me Atticus, were you one of those bitter blues who were pleased you lost on Sunday as it edged United ever closer to United? Must have been a tough decision given how close you are to catching us.

So it was deeply offensive to United fans but now it's just a couple you happen to have met. What have horses for courses got to do with anything in this context?


I work with a kid originally from Africa now living in London. He put on his facebook page that seeing United for the first time (at Wembley) was the greatest moment of his life. He's United crazy but he's never been to OT. Can't afford it. His girlfriend is about to have his baby. Funnily enough he said that in Zimbabwe he was the odd one out as most people support Liverpool. Not sure how many have ever seen Liverpool play. At least he has been to 1 game.I'll let him know how irritated you are by him.

I think Annasfield was reffering to Londoners and Southerners who claim to worship Man U and haven't been to OT medic not your african kid.


I agree with her 100% but I like Anna am a supporteer of my team not a fan, and you may hate it and think it's irrational, but supporters know who is and who ain't fairly quickly. I think it probably bothers me less than Anna, but I absolutely recognise the difference.

I see where you are coming from Anna and quids, I'm lucky to make 3 games a season due to cost (home cost us around ?1000 ! But we do make the most of it) even a game like Chelsea away is ?100 at least.

I watch most City games in our MCFC adopted pub but can say I was a Maine Road ST holder from 4 to 13 years old but we moved to Leicester so wasn't feasible to maintain a ST.

I have, personally, transformed the way London Blues get to watch games together in London thugh. Curly Watts will be with us on Sunday when we, sadly, relegate West Ham.

Sorry Irons :(

BR - It's not number of games...i've not been once this season for a host of reasons, it's something else...you're a supporter.


I had a season ticket for 20 years, I first went in 1971, I went home and away most weeks in my 20s, my great uncles jumped over the gates at Wembley for the 1923 Final, i've spent ?1000s and ruined relationships on the irons. I've been chaised, beaten up and knicked follwing them and been scared shitless on dark mid-week nights in, excuse me, northern shitholes and not got back home until 3am. I'm a supporter, always will be.


Draw with you and wins in the other 3 and we're safe :-S



She didn't exactly say that ????'s but if that's what she meant I'd find that mildly irritating. But that's all. Same as I would with anyone pretending to be something they're not. I think the most annoying one's are the one's who don't seem to realise how shallow they appear.

I think all references to the F word should be banned outside of the main season. The Metro and the Evening Substandard used to be especially annoying - you'd have all sorts of major sporting events going on and their back page headline was along the lines of "Viera: I Rather Like Broccoli" or something similarly useless.

    • I went last week and would recommend. I was very happy to see pricing based on hair length and especially a fringe trim price. I live nearby and don’t need it fully styled / blown out after a cut (curly so usually prefer to do it myself) so I like that it is variable pricing in that way. 
    • Memes top of lordship haircut shampoo blow dry about £25  dulwich barbers hair cut about£22  jazzes haircut about £26 
    • Re Day One, £52 for a short hair cut (cut & styling) and £72 for a long hair cut (cut & styling) which I believe is below the ears.  £38 for a blow dry which doesn’t appear to be included in the cut price as it’s not mentioned.  £15 for a fringe tidy.      I remember being startled to be charged separately for a blow dry by the salon that used to be in Melbourne Grove but is now closed down.  I was asked if I wanted a blow dry after the cut and highlights and said yes, but wasn’t told that I would be charged separately.  Only found out when I went to pay the bill.    Was offered a voucher on a further appointment.    De.Salon which used to be Cut-Throat in Peckham (Choumert Rd and Brixton) charge from £45 for a Short haircut that finishes by the ears.  They charge from £40 for any haircut that finishes below the jawline.  Their prices include a blow dry.  But if you have thick hair they charge an extra £15 for every additional 15 minutes for cutting.     I had my hair cut there before the name change.  I don’t understand the from part of the price. Had a look at the Blue Tit pricing which is very complicated. They charge depending on the stylist’s  experience.  Crab Salad in Peckham  -  short hair cut above the ear - from £69.    Long hair Cut below the ear from £80. Blow dry not mentioned as being included in the cut but is priced at £55 I noticed that Kuki charge different prices for men and women.  Doesn’t seem right if a woman has short hair and a man has long hair.   I used to go to a great salon in NW London  that charged the same price for men and women and stopped going when they upped their prices for women.
