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.

    • They are. We are back to the same construction racket 8am-8pm every day for the whole of this week. The wall is one of the last things to come down, probably on Saturday. Then we can see how much of a mess they've made, especially the quantity of non-biodegradeable litter trampled into the earth. GALA 2025 - Production Schedule.pdf

    • @Rockets be a sweety and stop using the large font, it's annoying and I expect most can comprehend. Still not sure how this festival affects you.  Or is it a case that you just like taking on causes 
    • It is intimidating looking through the book sections now.  I sometimes wonder if they're stocking bookshops' remainders. OTOH, when I put  some books out in a cardboard box for taking, it was  encouraging to see that a fair proportion of those taken were aged hardbacks.
