    Wouldn't mind heading to that.
    A verbal contract isn't worth the paper it's written on.

    Phil Babb a legend?

    I once won a signed Phil Babb Liverpool shirt in a charity raffle. They were supposed to auction it but were worried that they wouldn'g get any bids.

    Saw the second half off it. Pity he couldn't pursuade Roy to come down. Anyone recommend a good pub around the stadium?

    Anyone else think 9/2 looks a bit big for Ireland.

    Where does the money go for this stuff? ya brogans is only a 10 min walk from the stadium - but you have to walk fast.

    The lack of advertising for this match is well, well it's... FAI, enough said. Would have been hugely popular if properly marketed and the teams announced more than a few weeks in advance.

    In fairness, I have checked it on google maps, 1.6 miles, ronny delaney in his prime would be doing well to do that in 10 minutes

    google maps ah come on i dont know how many times ive used that and ended up on the roundabout rather than round it

    But seriouslly its a running joke on me that i said its a 10 min walk when it ended up being a little longer. It is definitely not 1.6 miles walking the back way though. But in fairness couldn't ye walk 1 mile in around 8 mins at a good pace?!

    We are heading up from work in Hammersmith at half 5, going to walk around, find a pub along the way down the fulham palace road. Ready to blast out some of the old classics....

    Who put the ball in the english net...Houghton Houghton

    Niall Quinns Disco Pants

    Should be a good night, get on that 9/2, reckon we are a fitter team.
