My dad was a regular in Harlesden Labour club when I was a kid. We were often there too and a coke/lemonade and some crisps kept us happy. As mentioned, a place many went to forget the stresses of everyday life and work.
Other clubs in the area we also visited but less often were Harlesden Working man's club (known locally as "up the steps"), the railway club and the welsh club. As kids it was always enjoyable especially at Christmas when they would have great parties and give us good presents.
My dad still goes to St Gabriels club in South Harrow. Even in my 20s when I thought I was too cool for such places, it was great for a late lock in after being out somewhere else earlier. Last time I was there in 2016 we left after 4am on a Monday morning and they seemed to have no concerns about sending us home before that! |

Everyone in football is a data analyst these days.
I keep looking at Luton and thinking they have to be better than their league position suggests, so it might not be the risky move it seems if he pulls them together. |

The Varane goal was a belter and Kolli took his very well.
Btw did anyone see the goal Lyndon Dykes scored for Birmingham? Ok, not the strongest opposition but a cracker of goal. |

Its 100% happening and getting worse, whether or not you believe humans are responsible for it. |

Spoken like someone who has no experience of how devastating and frightening these type of wildfires (or bushfires as they call them here) are. |

Nobody had brought it up/started the argument, so you thought you would? [Post edited 10 Jan 4:26]

But the Newcastle goal v Spurs was apparently fine because the handball wasn't intentional and that player didn't score, despite the fact that Newcastle got a huge advantage from it and it completely changed the direction of the ball leading to a goalscoring opportunity that otherwise would not have happened.
Meanwhile penalties are given all the time for balls deflected to arms with no opportunity for the defender to react etc.
Make it make sense! |

VAR didn't disallow Newcastle's outrageous equalising goal at Spurs which wouldn't have been possible without a very obvious handball.
That said, Frey certainly didn't immediately celebrate so probably expected it might not count. Their defence didn't really appeal for anything. You see far more attempts at this for obviously legitimate goals all the time. |

Best in person probably the Sansom goal v Arsenal in the cup. Armchair has to be Zamora, around 2am here when it went in. The dog, being the only other awake animal in the house, was quite concerned for my welfare given my reaction.
Agree with the person above on Cardiff scoring in extra time. I was listening to a radio broadcast online while my brother and several mates were at the game. Devastated, it felt like we might be condemned to the 3rd/4th divisions forever in that moment. In person it has to be the complete no show at Wembley in 86 when a trophy was there for the taking.

I always wondered why so many Irish supported United. My dad did too. but was never that committed to it and living near QPR was a regular at LR when younger and still goes now and again with my brother. He also was one of the few who bet on a QPR win when we won 4-1 at Old Trafford. He told me before the game and I laughed at him.
They won't go down, not even close. Today's point at Anfield shows that. |

I keep thinking Luton have to be better than their league position suggests. Hopefully they don't show that on Monday. |

Totally agree on Bondi. I was completely underwhelmed the first time I saw it given how well known it is. We moved down there and stayed in a place across the road from the beach for a couple of months.
That was in the 90s and it is worse now as it has become trendy and "gentrified", meaning it is full of tossers as well as not being that great a beach. It still manages to somehow remain quite tacky looking though.
The bridge and Opera house though certainly do live up to expectations. The Opera bar is a great place to have a beer, especially for tourists. |
