Yep Went last year too It's at Minerva, in a marquee on the jetty ( or was last time) It's basically 70 types of gin, mostly served with tonic (fever tree) , food on and live music. It's ok Interesting differences in taste (that's what got me into Hoxton) Normal ale festival set up ... pay to get in, that gives you a free glass, buy card with stamps for drinks, worked out about £3.50 a drink I think Tickets on Hull Boxoffice
There's a tiny cafe in the entrance to Goldhawk Road tube that does a great breakfast if you can be arsed.
You said something along these lines last year after you'd missed it. At least your in time this year. I'm sure one of the regular posters will confirm it.
Rings a bell Ben Real ale festival in Holy Trinity was good too while we're on the subject and this years is 14-16 April ... I will be there championing drinking diversity
I am vague I can't remember when it is That's why Google was invented...so there's no need to remember anything It's in the calendar in my phone so I'll be informed at a suitable time before it occurs
Fulham looked a decent side regardless of league position so yesterday was a very good result for us. Hayden did his job very well and roughed up their older players a treat, just what we need a Tiger in the midfield to go with Livermore. If Huddlestone had tried the same trick no doubt he would have been booked then sent off. After a handful of games I reckon Hayden is actually better than Meyler too, I hope they do sign him as it would be a real coup for us. No opinions on Gin by the way, will leave that to the gin-sozzled locals
Don't get me wrong Tuck. I'm not saying Fulham are a poor team, although their league position and goals against record indicates their defensive frailties. They pass the ball around very incisively and their midfield dominated ours, although Hayden did put in a good shift. The fact is they had 70/30 possession and we were lucky to get away with a clean sheet and the win. We created absolutely nothing on offense in the first half other than Diames great through ball to send Hernandez away 1on 1 with the goalie that he should have put away. Overall we did not look like promotion candidates IMO although we are sitting in first place for now. Just hope we can continue our sterling home record and pick up enough points away to see us through.
I wasn't impressed by Hayden yesterday. There's a player in there and he could turn out to be a good one but Meyler and Huddlestone are better now. I can understand that if Bruce wants to keep him here he has to play, but for tough games like yesterday, he shouldn't be in the starting XI for me.
Wasn't he at a City game a day or 2 after he got sacked. An away game if i remember. Could be something in this.
Meyler will be back in soon anyway, this is how Bruce rolls usually with his favourites. Am surprised Huddlestone has been cast aside like he has, very unBrucelike
I saw him on the feed yesterday but I reckon he lives round the corner or something would explain it.
Tickets booked 15/4, Friday night. Wolves the next day at home. I come back from Tenerifee the Friday before so I'll be showing my tan to any who are interested
He was off the pace and out of form and deserved it when he lost his place in the team. The length of time that's gone on though now with Hayden getting picked ahead of him points to somethig going on behind the scenes. Almost certainly nothing bad as Huddlestone still plays albeit off the bench and still gets the captaincy, but possibly Tom has indicated he's bored of playing dour football and will be leaving after honouring his contract no matter. Let's be honest, he's far better than this.
He's always at live games, not just football all kinds of sport. He's a sportsman. Also, good chance for him to get out and see the lower leagues for himself, grow his knowledge of the players down here, find some gems for his next job.
He lives in Chelsea so very near but you would have thought he would make the effort to see a Premier League match. There were the following matches near: Crystal Palace v Tottenham Watford v Newcastle West Ham v Manchester City
Looking at Derby and Boro's away results against those bottom third sides, on the face of it they aren't ripping up any trees either and are just doing enough to beat teams, or are suffering shock defeats too (Bristol last week). Teams will raise their game against the promotion chasing pack; a good side is the one that shows the resilience to deal with it and grind out the result. We failed to do this last month and deservedly got nothing. However, these last 2 away games have started to see us regain this composure away from home. Would Dave have been back to make that kind of block at Rotherham or Preston? Who knows. It'd be great if we could play teams off the park every week but a promotion winning side in the Championship needs more in their toolbox than trying to emulate Barca every week.
