[Albion] Famous People at the Arsenal game

[AZ Gull]

Lee Dixon was outside the West Stand as the Arsenal players arrived.

This may have been pointed out on this thread already (I'm not wading through 11 pages) but Dixon (who did the co-commentary for NBC's coverage over here) mentioned on air that he had spoken to Albion fans before the match (I'm assuming as one of the lounge guests?).

Piglet pies are horrible , luke warm and tasteless

I thoroughly enjoy my pre match pie every game - not sure what you are eating but piglets at the Amex are not tasteless.

 

[Chicken Run]

“Prime Minister, Russia has invaded Poland, we need you to chair a Cobra meeting immediately”

“Sorry, I’m at the footy, get the Growler to chair”

Amended for you

I've no problem with him attending a match (as long as he pays his way).
I do have a problem being forced to sit in my coach an extra 15 minutes whilst we had to wait for him to be escorted away.

I have a similar problem with them holding back the Mill Road P&R buses to allow the coaches full of the self entitled to leave. Difference being I'm often standing in the pissing rain and the cold not on a warm coach.

Semantics. I was obviously referring to her support of rugby which I have always had great respect for. William supports England at football and rugby, maybe even cricket which I have no interest in, so don’t know about his allegiances there. Point is the Prince of Wales needs to support Wales in sport imo

I do think Anne thinks of herself as Scottish though

He's also the Duke of Cornwall and the Duke of Cambridge both places are in ENGLAND.

The words “get a grip” have come into my head.

I imagine Sunak may have attended a Saints game at the Amex but it seems he mixed with the rif raf when he went to games

Everyone’s in business attire…hardly the riff raff. He also seems to be standing behind Mickey Adams.

That riff raff IS THE southampton directors box. Easy mistake to make as that's what passes for smart dress along the coast

Sunak is in mufti, the rebel

How very dare you.

True though

And neither are they lukewarm - I find they're usually too hot to approach for at least 5 minutes.

We can't regulate that you (@Dave the OAP ) think they're horrible, but to each their own...

Churchill saved the free world , starmer just likes freebies , do you think he would have gone to watch Crawley ?

You have zero idea on what Starmer has achieved.

In comparison, you and I have have done nothing.

It’s seems quite popular to jump on the Starmer bashing bandwagon at the moment. Try not to sink to the depths of Musk.

Also thankfully the pies come in a cardboard box with a bottom now so they can’t leak everywhere

Yeah I’d give him more than a few more the to make improvements

I get the feeling I'm being outvoted on here simply because I pay extra to use a coach. I've worked damn hard all my life and feel it's time to reap the rewards with a small luxury, a door to door service. I used P&R for about 6 years getting drenched waiting for the next bus. The stewards do very well getting the coaches out, generally waiting 15 minutes or so whilst the first group of P&R buses have moved off. They then take us out as a convoy, holding up all other traffic. At this time I may see 1 or 2 busses waiting to leave but never any buses waiting to get into the Amex.

This may already have been answered but I got bored after 3 pages seeing as the thread has been completely derailed.

There was a tall (6ft+) black guy with a shorter black guy (who people weren't really interested in, so I assume just his mate) who came into the MWB lounge after the game yesterday. Quite a few (mainly kids) had their photo taken with him but also the old boy on the table next to me who asked him for a photo because his grandson said he was famous. I've just googled famous Arsenal fans and I think it may have been a mush called Daniel Kaluuya who I've never heard of but he's got nearly a million followers on instagram so I guess a lot of people have.

Go on then, Justify the laughter. What have you achieved in the world of politics and human rights that comes close?

It seems to be very popular to attack Starmer at the moment, and people love jumping on a bandwagon and pointing fingers with no idea why they are pointing.

Maybe you dislike him for having taken on the McLibel case? Maybe it was because he campaigned against the war in Iraq? Maybe it was his work on the Police Service of Northern Ireland that proved to be a vital part of the Good Friday Agreement.

At the moment people seem to hate him because he has a shitshow to sort out with very little money to do anything about it because the previous administration made such a pig's ear of it and we've shot ourselves in the foot by making some stupid economic decisions.

It's worth noting that Farage's sometime fanboy Musk was no fan of Brexit, citing the uncertainty arising from our self-inflicted stupidity as a reason for non-investment way before he decided to have his immature X outburst of Starmer.

If it was him, he's an oscar winning actor.
