Interesting to see that we were number 1 in the PL for attendance capacity achieving 99.8% of our capacity over the season. Spurs were 20th because they couldn't fill Wembley.
Though I heard people have disputed whether the numbers for our attendance were correct. Apparently there were a few games with many empty seats but was announced that we had a near to max capacity crowd.
I think its a case of sold tickets rather than who turns up on the day. I remember the Man U / Bournemouth game that called off and replayed the next day there was only about 30,000 in the ground yet the official attendance was 68,000.
I've just had a 20 minute conversation with a rather drunk Gooner who was full of praise for the Italian player we had in the 80s.
I thought he meant Di Canio but as he rightly pointed out that was the 90s. I was scratching my head for foreign players we had in the 80s and all I could think of was Van Der Elst
Then he said Machiavelli and I realised he meant McAvennie
Aslef, the Royal Inn on the Park in Hackney serves some good beer. I was in there recently while visiting my youngest daughter who lives just across the park from it and had a pint of Gales' HSB. The best pint of the year up to then. ;beer Mind you the Eleanor Arms in Old Ford Road (across the road from my daughter - she doesn't know how lucky she is) is a cracking pub too, Shepherd Neames ales always spot on. ;beer ;beer
I don't know why but i thought the champions league final was on ITV only to find out it's on BT sport which i don't and won't subscribe to. I have since found out that you can watch it for free on the BT app through youtube.It is saying you can watch it in 4k(UHD)but has anyone watched football though this app and what is the quality of the picture.?
Good day at the cricket except from the woeful England performance, Cook apart. Pakistan bowled well in helpful conditions so why oh why did we not put them in? ;doh

She's certainly landed in the right place, there are some excellent boozers in the neighbourhood. On the same side of the park as the Eleanor there's the Crown, almost directly across the park from the Eleanor you've got the People's Park Tavern or if you head south toward the Mile End Road there's the Lord Tredegar and the Morgan Arms.
Ok living in the USA means I miss my London Pride and Greene King ales, however, the loc craft beer industry has exploded over here over the past ten years, I have no idea why anyone touches Coors Lite, Bud Lite or any kind of Lite as there is no longer any need to.
A local brewery to me, The Crystal Lake Brewery has been around for just about 5 years now, yet in 2016 their Munich Helles styled beer (Beach Blonde) took third place in the World Beer Cup.
Literally hundreds of breweries are involved in this competition, First place was taken by Lowenbrau and Second place by another well established Munich based brewery with hundreds of years of traditions, so how cool is that!!
Munich - as I'm sure you know Lowenbrau brew about a dozen different beers, they can't all be bad...…..but if they are which beers would you recommend drinking when in Munchen?
Chicago - there's a bar/pizza joint in Charleston, WV (not SC) called Pies n Pints that specialises in beers from local breweries although they have the occasional imports from Ohio or Pennsylvania

I had a dream last night that Grey was my boss. It was a garden landscaping/tropical fish business, obviously.
He repremanded me for not arranging the aggregate in a tidy enough fashion. Nor was the grass cut evenly, apparently.
Mrs G, you have my sympathy.

Iniesta, on his move to China: No.
No you didn't.
I'm sure he chose the place because of the good beef.

Assuming they are the same quality as BBC or ITV, it is pretty much broadcast quality.
