I loved in Handsworth for a couple of years..Everyone seemed to get on ok. But then I'm not a fucking racist...

I'd barred myself from the USA when the ๐ŸŠ Baby was first elected. Bought tickets whilst he was out of power. Nearly binned the expense when he was re elected. Still can't believe they've
re- elected the fuckwit.

We were there a few days, ostensibly for a rugby league day. Fortunately we found an area, near the old town, called Brewery Row. There were six or so craft breweries and a few other decent bars at around ยฃ12 a pint.

Same the world over. Paid ยฃ20 a pint in Vegas in March.

I've just checked and the nearby
Three Hulats, in Chapel Allerton, near my daughter's has 12 cask beers on at ยฃ2.15 a pint!

I wish there were more words in the English language to highlight how much I fucking despise every atom in Robert Jenrick

I lived in Handsworth for two years. Quite a melting pot but from my experience people of all hours largely got on fine.

I had a seat off them for West Ham last Monday. Just about on the half way line but on the very back row. Blimey, it's a bigger climb than the Toon away.

His break and cross were Ndaiye like. Great goal.
Recruitment has a way to go. Barry looks absolutely terrified, don't know how he develops from here. Cameo 20 minutes in away games maybe?
