Can Arsenal become London's top dogs for the first time in a decade?

    You really don't see many Manc shirts around here any more.

    Always thought it was part of London. Watfords already a better place!

    I guess it's not surprising that United fans think Watford's in London.
    They've bought the idea that Salford's in the city of Manchester, after all.

    Yes. The club's not in the City of London, though.

  11. PNP, don't, mate. Trying to educate a Northerner about London is impossible. Most of them think we all sing and dance like Chaz n Dave, and grew up next door to Eric Bristow, and have met the Queen.

    I once had a Yorkshire bloke tell me, "I went to that London once, and I didn't like it."

    I asked him, "Which part of London did you go to?"

    "It were London, lad! You never been!"

    "Yeah, I was born and grew up there, pal. It's a big place, more of a collection of villages, each with its own character."

    [Thick, docile, stupid look on yard-arm's face] "No, it weren't a village. It were London!"

    It's like trying to teach a card trick to a dog. It ain't gonna happen, son.

    I think we can all agree that London sucks on account of it being dangerously close to the French.

    Good, close to innovative and brave people. Much better than being close to the dirty, uncivilised French. Londons practically a suberb of Paris.

    Yes, it's not much of a choice, is it. The snail munchers, or The Sweaties! Caught between the two!

    The sweaties might stink of stale whiskey but at least they've invented a thing or two we actually use. All the French invented were little white flags.

    Yeah, but at least you can drive through France, it's not a bad place if you ignore who lives there. If you go to Sweatiland, that's it, you're stuck. Nowhere else to go!

  20. I'm caught in a dilemma. On the one hand. I know some really decent Sweaties. On the other, I love French cuisine and culture. I speak the lingo and go over there several times a year.

    What should I do, lads.
