I'm off to Crystal Palace to walk the course of the lost river Effra

I expect a pub will be involved at some point.

Are you going mob-handed? That's bandit country, a. Why, it's almost Croydon.

of a damp Friday would not be my first choice in terms of recreation. Nonetheless, I wish you joy of it. Shame you can't combine it with popping into the Oval.

[Berni]

saints preserve the poor chap.

[Ashberto]

so we have to venture deep into the badlands to complete the set. It was either Norwood or Peckham next.

Surely no-one gets killed before lunchtime, even in South London?

every August. When i went for the first time last year it was described to me as though it was some kind of huge arts and crafts type thing, but when i got there it was basically Petticoat Lane market plonked in a field :-|

There are things in that area unimaginable to the civilised mind.

Can anything be read into Jim White's vine? Is he a credible ITK? If so, he is 'certain' that will sign another big name.

there. For all I know, it's a Mad Max-style wasteland there these days.

midfielder would be nice but not essential. Enjoy the football!

f**king freezing it was. Particularly galling since I had been anticipating enjoying the evening in a nice warm bed with the young lady who was hosting the party. Unfortunately, her parents arrived home to find their house in uproar and me interfering with their daughter and took a dim view. The boot of my friend's Purple Beetle was the only bed available. :-(

Why is there no "edited by moderator" tag in your posts, my friend?

are doing a surprise birthday bash for her Grandad which I said I'd go to about 2 months ago :-|

[Rich]

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Is that the same?

[Billy Goat Sverige]

it was injuries to key players costing us. With a bit of luck maybe that changes?

[Berni]

There are some nice bits. Lovely big, Victorian houses round there.

[Berni]

It's the Saturday of the last test of the Summer, ffs! The old f**ker will be dead soon, anyway. What's the point wasting any time being nice to him? As for work, just chuck a sickie.

[Rich]

every season teams suffer badly with injuries. It's just that the teams that win the league can bring super players in as replacement. We definitely have a deeper squad this year which is good.

I just think that if we have a really powerful player in the middle then it could well be the piece of the jigsaw we were missing.

Also, United are going to be strong this year, so they'll be up there. More competition.

Spurs are going to be ****e, though :cloud9:

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Talk about fickle!

[Rich]

[Billy Goat Sverige]

they're playing with 6 of them.
