Alfie Conn Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 You think its embarrassing that Arsenal have made the CL 15 times and Spurs have made it just once? Not at all. You are never going to win it so i couldn't care less. Don't put those dusters away just yet fellas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Old Tolbooth Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 I thought this was a Hearts site. Didn't realise it was a haven for closet Goons. Learn something new everyday. It's not, there are a few however as there are a few followers of other English sides too. Personally I'm a long suffering Liverpool sympathiser for my sins, it's no fun having two shit teams to follow lately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Francis Albert Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 It's way, way longer. I walked it for an Everton / Spurs game a couple of years ago and I walk fast and it took me 30 or 40 minutes each way. I can walk from Haymarket to Tynecastle in 10 or 15 minutes. It's that spring in your step as you head for Tynie! But you are probably right - more like the West End or Mound to Tynecastle. Still walkable, with the bonus now of some riot wreckage tourism on the way. . Going off topic (since the thread already has) it always amazes me to see fit youngsters (in trainers) waiting for a bus for Tynecastle at Haymarket or even closer. Last time there was a bunch getting on a No 1 at the western end of Strevenson Road, which is all of ten minutes stroll away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibbo Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Anybody who supports Hearts and Arsenal must be too young to remember black and white TV.

Alfie Conn Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Got to laugh at a Hearts fan having a pop at a Yid for not being as successful as the Woolwich Wanderers. I should just pretend i am Rangers or Celtic & do the same back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaggy2 Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Redknob is a dirty bassa with a twitch. Anyone have any idea what time kick off is for the two games?

Strangely, that is exactly the reason I used to go to WHL and (sort of) support Spurs when I first moved to London decades ago. Well maybe also the Dave Mackay connection.

Basel fans were so nice... got a bit of trouble in Zurich..... a lot of verbal abuse and an elderly "gent" hit my 11 year old nephew as he was wearing the Basel strip.Croatian's were also fantastic.... and we were in the BBB HQ. So now have a hatred for Zurich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WASTREL Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Seven Sisters to WHL is about the same as Haymarket to Tynecastle. More like West End (Frasers corner) to Tynecastle.

topcat Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 imagine trying to move you stadium 15 miles away from your home It's hard to fault them for wanting to move away from Tottenham, harder still after recent events. Stratford would be a huge move upmarket Arsenal of course famously moved to Highbury in 1913 having previously been formed in Woolwich (which wasn't even part of London at the time) this kind of invalidates your other following point imagine being in the shadows of your rivals since time began Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scott herbertson Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Just to show what a nerd I am I checked on gopoglemap and the distance from seven sisters to the match is 1.5 miles - brisk walking pace is 4 miles per hour, 3 miles an hour is average 2 miles an hour is pished and 1 mile an hour is reekin So do a breathalyser as you come out of the tube and you should be able to do it in between 20 minutes and 1 hour 30 minutes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Francis Albert Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Correct All this nannying about on tube trains is doing my head in In rush hour traffic (and rush hour is from about 3 till 8) you'll waste at least half an hour of good drinking time in a cab vs the tube.

portobellojambo1 Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 BTW Before you get to cosy with the vermin their Jock 'affiliation' is Celtic (due to Charlie Nicholas/Irish players etc) So make your own minds up. We''ll happily take drink in their pubs, and then knock feck out them when it is time to go to the game. What's the Finsbury Park area like drink wise AC, I realise it is possibly a bit close to Arsenal land, but a drink is a drink, wherever one may be, it all comes back out a few hours later as piss.

Tams bird Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Are we likely to get kept in after the game? And, roughly, how long would it take from WHL to get back to the city centre after the match with the tube queues etc? Thats what i was thinking about... I want to get back to Kings Cross... I havnt a clue where to go... I dont want to go to any pubs up that way before of after... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont want to go to any pubs up that way before of after... Does not take long. Under an hour. Three stops on the Victoria Line from Seven Sisters or 4 from Tottenham Hale. Just follow the YIDS to WHL - overground is 2 stops to 7 sisters or to Northumberland Park - overground 1 stop to Tottenham Hale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambo83 Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Nice one man, that's really heartening to hear. We didn't really have that experience, unfortunately We got reekin with a bunch of Panathinaikos fans (one who owned the boozer) until about 4am and sang Takis Fysass and Panathinaikos at every round : ) Was a great night. Worst hangover ever though, left for airport at 5:30am and got home after a fight to Heathrow and train from KX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trained One Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 At the risk of repeating myself The easiest way to get to WHL is the overground from Liverpool Street station (which is obviously on the tube network) Trains run regularly to WHL and take 22 mins and is then a 5 min walk. On match days they also run to Northumberland Park which takes 15 mins and is then a 10 min walk. As for Seven Sisters being a mere 20 min walk - mate you must have 5 foot long legs! You will not get into a home pub anywhere in the vicinity of the ground. Most away drink in the Hamilton Hall at Liverpool Street and jump on a train. Its a Wetherspoons so it is open from very early and is cheap. Like the sound of this.....could be a wee spot of Gorgie in London Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deans Jambo Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 So it seems that the masses are heading by tube to seven sisters whilst those in the know are nipping to Liverpool st station for the overground to White Hart Lane.
