AJack 0 Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 1-2 for me. We need to figure out what our best 11 is and no doubt the team will need time to gel. That could take a few months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the White Horse for a sunday roast, but not for a pre-Match pint. It's nickname is the Sloaney Pony... so there's that Eight Bells is the traditional away pub, but unless you're there early it'll be a miracle if you get served before the final whistle. It's right beside Putney Bridge station so it's the 1st place away fans pile into. The Bricklayers arms is a good pub but it's about a 20 minute walk from Craven Cottage. I'll be there with @@Matt and a few mates before the game and probably afterwards too. How are you getting there? As Strawb says, it might be worth you getting a few beers somewhere else, like Clapham Junction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 21924 Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 8 bells. That's where I'll be. Get down early though because close to kick off it gets so rammed you can't even get in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meenzer 15531 Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Last time I was there they stopped serving because some of our brighter sparks were trying to rip the lights from their fittings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get down early though because close to kick off it gets so rammed you can't even get in Can't be arsed with that place, too small, last time I was there pre match they had fuckin stewards marshalling the pre match piss up wearing pink hi viz vests. Fuck that, although we did bizarrely have a post match pint with Nobby Solano's brother in there, bloke was the spitting image of him and was stood their in the 8 bells wearing the wet, mud splattered shirt Nobby had just taken off There's a boozer on the way to the ground not far from there called The Temperance which is a good spot, but as you say with 7k of our lot on the rampage in west London on a Friday its best to get in somewhere early.

That Brickies looks canny enough too, may see you in there...

I used to visit friends in Earlsfield in the 90s and drank in and around Clapaham a fair bit, Lavender Hill etc, it was fully gentrified even back then. Putney high street was still quite rough round the edges so I liked that better but it's gone the same way now. Just looked on trip advisor about the Bricklayers, first review: "don't tell anyone about this place!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew 4757 Posted August 4, 2016 Author Share Posted August 4, 2016 Villa have signed Ross McCormack, good signing, scores for fun in the championship even with a god awful Fulham team. Also handy that our first opponents main goal threats McCormack and Dembele both left them this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gpirlo68 0 Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Mo Diame and Ciaran Clark won't be in the squad for Fulham after joining preparations just too late. Home debuts v Huddersfield likely #nufc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 10857 Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 I wonder if Sissoko will be in the squad? There's apparently been no bids and Rafa is happy to work with him, and for all his faults he remains a player who can change a game if he can be arsed.
