They certainly did, as did Manchester United. They were held for long periods of the game by the resolute Romanians. The clash is nicely poised between the blue and red sections of Manchester this coming weekend.

Atticus, highly controversial subject. Basically, the club WANTS singing/chants (friendly ones obviously) however if you dare stand up you get ejected. How can you sing with joy sat down? (Not that we've had much joyous singing until recently and even then it's a bit nervous !)

Good wins for Chelsea and Arsenal this evening, and both top their groups. I hope you're not a betting man red devil.

Really ?


McNamara's Band (note correct spelling) is also the club song for Tottenham Hotspur F.C. a Premier League Football Club in North London. The connection to the club may be that the song was written in Barnet, also North London and not far from the Spurs Ground. Spurs is the well known nickname for Tottenham Hotspur. The song was adopted by Spurs long before popular legend has adoption after Northern Irish international Danny Blanchflower joined the club in 1954. Whilst the song was used at this time and underwent something of a revival during the Glory Glory years of the early 1960s, its use at White Hart Lane predates either. The song is still played to this very day as the players return to the pitch after half time at White Hart Lane.

      That’s interesting, Dulwich Dweller; my 70 yr old neighbour told me 2 weeks ago that he’d left work early to go and book in person (being uncomfortable with all the online & app stuff) and was explicitly told that he needed to go away and book online. He’s not the sort of person to be insistent and, like a lot of older people, a bit embarrassed at his lack of digital ability, so he left without the appointment . This is my point about inconsistency, since his experience was quite different from yours. I’m beginning think that it rather depends on who, at Reception, you speak to on day…

      Wow, never had a disappointing meal there since they opened.. guess like every establishment, depends on the chef.. All for allowing an off day - good of you to post.. much better than chains - had awful service at Gail’s for eg..be it cake and tea or a meal.. They are so nice and accommodating..
