Yeah but at the footy you ask for a steak and kidney pie or a beef pie, not a flamin' mince pie :lol:

Well I do not know about what pies are served at football matches as I do not go these days, but when I did go a few times to see the Spartans, I used to buy a mince pie and a programme - this was when I was in middle school haha.

PS

Surely at The Arsenal you order humus and a cup of plastic Italian mochachino or something ridiculous like that, to go with your la-di-da upper middle class Frenchy image. Pies are for working boys; pies, bovril and pints.

Hot dogs? Yankee doodle dandy! It gets worse.

When I was last at St James, which was for the Olympics, the food looked and smelt gross.

My cricket club has an exclusive club above the members',  wine upon arrival, three course meal, etc. They have their own private pavilion you see, above the members' pavilion. I sit opposite to all of that (although I'm a member) and often see them standing up (they all seem to stand - and this is cricket. It lasts forever!) sort of preening in their suits or casual-smart attire.

Is that what they mean when they say it's friendlier up north :lol:

I got searched when I was at that Olympic footy at St James' by an archetypical gigantic Geordie beast with one of those bouncers' head, skin head with a big skinfold ridge on the back of his head, forced through the fatness of the head - all bouncers seem to have heads like this! Anyhow, everybody had to empty the contents of their pockets into these little plastic bags and take them in. And you could not even see a postage stamp view of the onfield action while brandishing a beer, looking from the turnstile area through the tunnel that is, without a cop sending you back (I snuck one by the cops/guards by sipping the top and holding it beneath my jacket through my pocket haha). 

Awful. Never been back to St James' infact.

This fucks up my fantasy plan next season. If utd are in champions league it looks like City for Prem. Chelsea will also be knackered. So City big squad might out flank them. Then there's Klopp can he harrass his players to out perform. They have extra players that could challenge. 

Arsenal also if they keep theor best players, with no champs league could win prem. 

City

Arsenal

Liverpool

Chelsea

Utd

 

everyone's on they way out, act accordingly.

Not playing in champs league is going to put them up there. Chelsea will lose away to Stoke cos 3 players are injured. Same with Utd. Liverpool are overachievers with that squad. So it's City favs, with Arsenal 2nd. If they buy some more defensive players it's possible.

My guess is champs league games nobble teams. That's my fantasy football theory. If Arse keep their players like Sanchez, Ozil they will be tearing up the prem next season. But City maybe too strong, but they are in champs so...

At least Arsenal won something. 

I think they will win Prem next season. Without Champs league they will win 5-6 more games. That will be the focus, whereas Utd, Chelsea, City will be on the Champs.

The quintessential English teams wins the quintessential English competition and holds the record for having done so, yes Lord, I believe the planets are aligned :)

Meanwhile in Scotland, the insufferably smug wannabe-Irishmen win fucking everything without even losing a single game.
