It was always fun. Back in the 70s... Sadly the Green Man, the Miners, and the Elephant have all long gone.

You've very likely met my Great Aunt Min though 😉

Depends. We used to walk from the Crown, via the Elephant & Castle along the towpath (after visiting the Green Man, the Bird in Hand, and the Miners) so the time very much depended on whether one or more of us fell in... You can drive round in less than five minutes though. (Via Jackers and...

Coming out of the box and onto the Rega shortly.

Brilliant live. Did you see the episode of TOTP when they appeared for the one and only time, playing Cherry Red?

Shit. I've been right out of the loop for a while so missed the news about TS McPhee. Great blues guitarist who could also turn his hand to almost any style. I bought my first Hogs album just after it was released - Thank Christ for the Bomb. Absolutely love it, and have all their others too...

To be fair, I don't think anyone below the Prem didn't see it coming - and a good many up top saw it too. You just had vocal idiots making as much noise as possible to drown out the realistic ones.

Yes, but it's not that simple. The RFU oversees discipline etc for all clubs, and no club can play in any English league without RFU membership. And I have no sympathy for the Prem cartel either - even less since they sold their souls to CVC.

Irish's deadline has now passed with no word re. funding. There's a meeting between the players and the players' union and the RFU about to commence. Could be interesting.

Most Prem clubs, and one or two outside. There are scads of well-run clubs outside the Prem. Skint, but well-run within their means. No thanks to the RFU.

Doubt that. One of the better run clubs, financially, in the Prem (which is why they are so low in the table). They're signing cheap lower league players and releasing better paid ones too. Shockingly, the likes of Leicester are probably more likely to go bang (but not very likely tbh).

Promising kid. The pack is starting to take shape.

When I used to drink, my spirit mix of choice was Southern Comfort and Jameson's! Used to really glug that stuff. Good job I gave up the booze really.

I (and she) remember very well when, just after we'd met, my dragon got gloriously pissed on black russians. God she was ill. I've never let her forget it.

You have sex?

You could be right, but who knows what goes on in that single brain cell of the RFU, or in that of the mendacious Premiership leadership.

Given that Jersey have now had their day in the sun (won't happen again) and how Ealing melt-down on a regular basis, I'd be tempted to put a couple of bob on Cov to win it if I were a betting man. Reckon they're a couple of hard-nosed experienced tight-five operators from being a real force.

Mine was the first match of the 64/65 season I think. I know we won, and I think there were over 30k there. It seemed like millions! Dad took me and Granddad (it was the first game he'd been to for many years, not living in Cov and only having a pushbike! Sadly it was his last as he died a few...

They have to be kidding. Ffs.

Hopefully they slink back to London with their sorry tails between their legs. There's bound to be a spare parks pitch somewhere there.
