On the subject of drinking in another teams area ...today, I met up with a bloke (who many of you on here would know from the punk / skin days), for a few pints in his old neck of the woods. We bowled up in Bethnal Green for mid-day, spent the next four hours drifting down the Bethnal Green Rd , then into Hoxton and saw everything the world has to offer, except a West Ham fan. Now I know the neighbourhood, has a strong Spurs fan base, he's one of 'em, and it was his call to pop into their old school trouble hotspots, The Birdcage and The Shakespeare, but to be completely devoid of anything claret and blue or crossed irons, was a surprise. |  |
