Slagheads were bitching about something or other the last time they played? In turn Sunderland fans found out that Slagheads were cheating on them by sucking up to Ipswich fans, telling them how much they’ve always admired their club, how they shouldn’t be in L1, “wot about us, aren’t we nicer than da shit?” etc. The usual cringy ass kissing.

Always packed on a Friday (and often rowdy), but in no way a "football pub" Scene of many an extended lunch hour, not just Fridays, also the venue for some lunchtime drinking competitions, one of which involved a girl apprentice, somewhat unkindly referred to as the Russian Shotputter as she was a big (but not fat) girl. She decided she could drink me and my mate under the table, we had to settle on a drink, as me and my mate drank the Taunton rough, she was a lager girl, we probably stitched her up and settled on Courage Directors as the drink for all participants. After 5 pints her mates had to carry her out virtually unconscious, she never challenged us again. I slept through most lessons in the afternoons at RR Tech college , after a visit to one of the Filton three and then down to 6 shop (Three Magpies) once in the main works.

So I expect they will hoping for a win, whilst a victory for Charlton would put them in play off contention. I wonder how Bowyer leaving will effect them tonight? Is it right he is going to Birmingham, I thought Karanka was supposed to be gone yesterday? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreedyHarry Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 The Anchor (now Air Balloon) wasn’t a football pub but was mental, and was responsible for the last bus to Patchway in the 80’s being the only bus in Bristol to warrant a screen for the driver. Even that wasn’t enough on Friday and Saturday when the bus would terminate the stop before at Filton Library. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
