    What a horrible, horrible place that is.

    That pub near the new ground, The Navigation? inhabited by some of the most feral looking knuckle-draggers I've ever seen.

    We are talking bang smack in the middle of the Gallowgate mob I. Being so outnumbered didn't mean nothing because just one of them could probably have done about ten of us. THey were bigger, older, meaner, uglier. Most of them had no front teeth ( not a joke).

    So you didn’t crown the occasion by initiating a chorus of the Blaydon Races ?

    You probably got a better view than the away fans though, h.

    It is like watching an old sensible soccer match from up there...

    You jogged my memory 7. QPR had a version of that in the 70's and instead of 'Gannin' alang the "Scotswood Rurd" they were "Runnin along the Uxbridge Road - All the lad and lasses there, with there smiling faces, running along the Uxbridge road, to see The Queens Park Rangers"

    In 2001 I got ejected from the Arsenal end of the old Bayern ground during the first half of our last second phase group match. I had been heavily on it it with some wonderful Germans in a nearby bar (dedicated to Charlton Athletic of all things) and swapped scarves with one of the aforementioned hun which I wore in the ground. The Polizei assumed that I was one of them and my inability to talk did nothing to persude them of my Englishness and I was thrown out. On a positive note Lyon couldn't beat Spartak and so we qualified for the QFs and we spent the rest of the night is a strip club/brothel with a group of Munich 1860 fans - football eh!!
