I think I went, was the owner a bit mad? Did he come and sit with you whilst you ate? Food was always good but the whole experience was very surreal, maybe I'm thinking of somewhere else? Been back in Lancs a few times in recent weeks and had a curry on both occasions as the West Midlands has very few neighborhood Indians that hit the spot. Went to Anaz and Akash and both very disappointing, maybe its the time of year, just to busy, but both were really really poor and the service was especially bad. Think I'll stick to the re-vamped Naga at Abbey Village, spent loads on the restaurant, never fails to hit the mark.

O'Sullivan sent off for serious foul play.

We went to Royal Oak at Riley Green on Sunday night, absolutely fantastic, better than the Clogg in its pomp for me. Great value, plenty of specials and good ale, what more could you ask for: Yes no sign of Preston Blue either, absolute heaven 😂

The last shadow puppets - Calm like you

Just got back from another cracking Courteeners gig, opening night at The Apollo and they didn't disappoint. Just one gripe and its not Courteeners related really, why do venues think it's acceptable to sell warm cheap canned larger at extortionate prices? Yes it sells, yes the mark ups fantastic for the seller but the customer experience is poor, really poor, why not sell decent beer at fair prices?

Lenny Daws robbed, great fight, two lads going at it, good honest brawl, ref got it wrong. Rematch will be worth watching chaps. Will Abbey step forward and shut that embarrassment Fury up? the mans a joke, somebody please consign that idiot to tarmacing for the foreseable future.

Courteeners in Manchester on Tuesday night, looking forward to it.

In between Days - The Cure

Both camps have been talking up a rematch, but the sticking point could be the venue. It sounds to me like the venue is contracted back in Germany but the Fury camp want it back in the UK or Ireland. I feel they'll avoid Klitchko altogether if the lawyers can pull it off, surely Vlad won't be that bad second time around, then again maybe he's just 'shot' who knows.

I've high hopes for AJ, as long as he keeps his feet on the ground and the team around him don't rush him, he could well dominate the division in years to come and hopefully destroy that clown Fury in the process if Haye doesn't beat him to it.

Nowhere man - The Beatles

Mirror man - Human League

James Degale went almost unnoticed last night fighting Lucian Bute in Canada and came away with what looks on paper to be a credible point victory, did anyone see the fight? Degale talking about Badou Jack next year in Vegas, the conquer of George Groves, Eubank Jnr possibly, or dropping down and fighting Golovkin, but surely he'll be advised to avoid him like the plague, then we have Froch who is still talking about fighting, so who knows.

I've told you what I think, your post lacks class, we all comment on most subjects we're not experts in, by your own admission above you do not, you're an expert, so I'll be careful in future and keep an eye out going forward 😉 Let's not spoil the thread by trading insults.

You come across as a bit of a smart arse if you don't mind me saying so. I love boxing and have never professed to be anything other than a keen amature observer, so why on earth you see the need to trawl through posts from the past is anyone's guess, shows a lack of class really. Fury stunned the boxing world, every pro commentator I heard called it Klitchko, but you had Fury, good effort from both of you....

Absolutely stunned...... My Mrs would have battered him, but all credit to him, absolute respect to the guy.

Why is Roy Jones Jnr fighting at all, let alone fighting Enzo Macraglasschinelli?

Plenty on sale outside if you're desperate to see them.

Mate of mine went to the Liverpool gig on Saturday and said its the best gig he's been to in years.

Haye was embarrassing against Klitchko, hype hype and more hype, money money and more money being his motivation, a fraud in my opinion. Bit harsh maybe but I felt so let down by him after all the talk before the Klitchko fight. Give me Carl Froch any day of the week.

I know plenty doing Preston on Saturday then off to Liverpool for New Order in the evening, cracking day out that. Pity I'm not going to either 😢
