Things you don't hear of anymore

I looked this hotel up to see if I knew it. It seems that it's a Holiday Inn now and I actually drove past it around 1 hour ago.

I was watching something the other day with footage from the 60s and it showed the bridge you go under as you exit the airport. The sign above the bridge said 'Rothmans welcomes you to London'. Those were the days

I saw a clip on Youtube recently of an episode of Blue Peter from the late '60s. Valerie Singleton took us on a journey from arriving at 'London Airport' in a taxi, to boarding the aircraft. I spent a while wondering what the point was - was there a new system in place? New terminal to explore? Then I realised of course that most kids in the 60s would have never experienced getting on a flight, so matters as mundane as checking in and clearing security would have been all new...

"Take Courage!" was the big billboard that comes to mind. And the Araldite one with the car stuck on it.

Ah, Terminal 3; a proper ****ing circus. All the Africans with their Mumbo-Jumbos and having apparently cleaned out every clothes shop, hardware and DIY store in London. Those were the days!

I like Terminal 3 these days. I like seeing the huge Virgin sign and knowing I wont be flying with them

No, our defending is alright. But Arsene said that that was the easy bit; it's the page one, rudimentary ground level competence test for a coach. If defending was all they had to worry about then every coach could be a genius.

Just think of yourself out in the middle; batting must be a piece of piss if you don't actually have to score any runs.

But maybe our own defence wouldn't be so good if we actually won the title. Good. We have to accept that, embrace it. Revel in it.

Every title Ars?ne won had at least 2 GG trained defenders in the team. Ok, Boom Boom Keown didn't play that much in 2004, but '98 was the full GG back 5 and '02 had TA, MK, Sol, Spunky and Dixon partially.

If the Cesc and RVP team had had the peak GG back 5, we'd have won loads.

The Premier League has changed, defences don't win you the title anymore.

Blame money; the attacking power and talent available nowadays is bewildering.
