Went in The Castle, Islington, pre-match (the pub where the Hatton Garden jewellery heist was planned) and one of the lads we were with had a £7.50 pint of Neck Oil. Seven Pounds fucking Fifty!

 

It was the cost of a round that inspired the idea of nicking some jewels.

We were in the farringdon sports bar and grill yesterday

Fortunately brazil and irani werent

Another 6 quid plus pint

To go with the LivSt wetherspoons

And pretty much all the other drinks

We missed Spoons at Liverpool Street, went into 2 other pubs nearly £30 for 4 pints in both. Went back and found Spoons more because pubs were dull than price.

It was commented on that the jewel thieves weren’t the only robbing buggers to have used the pub.

60 quid train, 20 for taxis, whatever the tube cost

which is why match ticket prices wouldn't be something that put me off going

Could you have drunk in a pub any more further away from the ground?

We walked out of Euston, passed by St Pancras/Kings Cross and up the road to Islington. Had a beer or three, a chat then jumped on the tube to Leyton and went to the game. Kind of much the same as getting on the tube at Euston, heading to Leyton and then ‘trying’ to find an away-friendly pub. The difference is, the way we did it meant there was nothing hit and Miss about pub selection. Walk in a pub miles away from your eventual destination means you’re never going to be turned away.

You should have gone to the pub I suggested. Or the Griffin. 😁

I think Arsenal had already kicked off when we walked in or were just about to.

We walked to Holborn from Euston (1 mile) as we wanted to stretch our legs after nearly 3 hours on the train down....

Went in to 4 pubs - The Ship/Philomena's/Prince of Wales & The George....

There's 3 of us, each round cost about £20......

Direct tube from Holborn to Leyton....

Didn't bump in to any of the AHM or the Munchkins until we were in the ground....

bolo zenden's just been on with boro playing tonight, 20 years ago since that dodgy fucking penalty in the final, 20 years 

That game was our biggest robbery of all. Barry Knight and Everton are nowhere near that day.

Eggyhogs handball and that penalty.

Fuck me. That's the most upset I've been after a game watching them lift the trophy :(

Just had to sit with someone talking about it and how exciting it is for their semi compared to Cheltenham. I know which I’d prefer to be at

Michael Owen has to be one of the dullest men on the fucking planet.

Hes awful, however spoke pretty well yesterday with his son whos partially sighted.

It was all to do with their show about his condition but Jim Whyte couldn't help himself in trying get him to say something controversial.

I just know Simon Jordan wanted to say at least your lad cant see what a massive cock you are. 

Or might have been me, not sure.

I heard a bit of it pal. Had it on in the background so wasn't paying much attention

Not surprised,  apart from the boxing segments most of it is poundshop shockjock clickbait shite.

I tend to stick to Hawksbee & Jacobs/Baker it's my kind of sillyness :D
