One thing I realised watching the game yesterday is the way saints sing 'when the saints go marching in' they've really turned it into a soporific dirge.
Here's Louis Armstrong doing it:
now here's them singing it yesterday
What a load of shit.
Yeah, I think it is relatively inexpensive with the current exchange rate. Maybe not cheap cheap but not as forbidding as it once was. I'd make a proper holiday of it though if I were to visit. It's too long and expensive a flight to come out here for just a few days.
Unfortunately that's not true, at least not in Tokyo. You can buy a beer for that but it's not a pint, it'll be a glass that's about 60% of a pint. Pints are generally around a fiver.

Why?
Wherever you go where there are pigeons you'll find...
Would you swap our season for theirs?
Would you take getting thumped 4-1 by them, them spending a week top of the league and them playing a season in Europe - the first and only in both clubs history - including trips to Marseilles, Amstersam, Athens and Rome with wins against all four...
