deluded premise that they could win serious trophies. In practice ultimately
failed, but still worthy of consideration by any mid-table side. Must sell
due to financial difficulty.

I am. Such is the velocity with which I travel across London every
morning an devening, I am, in fact, distorting the space-time
continuum around me, meaning that if you express the common timescale
on Earth as 0, my timescale is actually -0.0000001, meaning that I am
getting younger every day, relative to the general poulation.

Possibly, but I used to work for the company that produces both Razzle
and the UK version of Hawk (but I was working on one of the more
respectable titles...), and Hawk was the only teen mag I could think
of this late at night while pissed.
Now I think of it, that German one (Der Schulmaden Report?) is more
likely...

Chelseas best finish for 29 years and we finally fell on Wednesday. To think that the two games
against United at Christmas Chelsea were unfortunate to get a draw - even when they outplayed
United. Those extra four points - ah well.
I can still remember that the old Chelsea side did manage to put 5 past Arsenal though.... (Flame
on - let me guess, we put out our second team, na na bollocks).

I'm passing this on to the ASA as you forget to mention they come with a

Man U. were founded in Newton Heath, a suburb of Manchester, Trafford is
a borough in Greater Manchester, where Man U. now play.
Can anyone on this NG name any other teams, that were founded
in a different area than they are now. Another example, Bolton, play in
Horwich.
PS Didn't Arsenal play their CC *home* games at Wembley. :-)

Chelsea's hopes were doomed long before. Wednesday merely ended the miniscule
mathematical chance that remained.

So? Every side can count on points frittered away, equally there are those
luckily gained.

Well we did put out our second team. What else did you want? And that penalty
wasn't a penalty, btw.

Is your weird DIY-superstore (The grey roof supported by all those blue
triangular spars and tiers looks like it belongs in an industrial park) of a
stadium still not finished?
Still, I remember visiting it when the visitors end was just a welcoming
concrete terrace with no roof at all. Oh happy days...

My humble apologies. But then you couldn't even get the first part of our
postcode - it's N5 not NW something. North West London indeed - what kind of

I'm sure it was the shining star in your season. And it wasn't a penalty. :-)

Let me tell you all that stuff was from Habitat and Homebase, none of
that B&Q shit you guys used to re-develop Highbury, but yes, there is
still an ongoing row with the local council about the completion of the
West Stand, in relation to CFC building a covered walkway to the tube
station. Nothing to do with the free view the locals along the west side
are currently getting contrary to popular rumour. I confidently expect
Fulham Broadway tube station to be renamed Bates Broadway at some point
in the future .....

Out of the kindness of our hearts we gave you guys the finest part of

Surely West Ham, formerly Thames Ironworks FC, would have had to play closer
to the river than currently? Where would that have been - on the Lea Valley,
or North Woolwich or thereabouts?

A mate has one of the houses in Woolwich with the remnants of the old
stadium in the back garden. Very weird...

Beckton, IIRC. For those who know the area, roughly where the dry ski
slope is.

Arsenal are originally from Woolwich. Even more horrific is the fact
that Millwall started in, well, Millwall (east London) before moving
to Bermondsey...

Aaaaah! What, is the rain occasionally falling damaging all your cashmere
coats? Poor darlings.
Should cover the entire area. A big Millennium Dome-esque tent stretching
from Putney to Earl's Court. No more moaning, and we can keep all your lot
neatly covered up. :-)

I've always wondered how good a view those flats - the ones on Aubert Park by
Highbury, the high-rises around Upton Park etc. And if they're good, how much
do they go for?

Putney Bridge becomes Al Fayed Bridge. Seven Sisters become Sugar Sisters.

Must have been a right bugger if you were defending the downhill end.
I can remember the area pretty well - there used to be loads of gas works
there, but now there's an ASDA and some other shops. A bit further on and
there's that half-completed flyover approach to some bridge which never got
planning permission - so it's just half a bridge with a dead end thirty feet
off the ground. They've placed avery obstacle possible to stop people driving
off the top and to their doom. Shame.
