An English style pub run by two British ex-pats (one of them a Hereford United fan). This pub is football central in the Northwest.
Shows all available English Premier League and England international matches, including pay-per-view (although most PPV matches have a cover charge).
They bought the entire Euro 2000 pay-per-view package, and we all quickly found out how many Dutch fans live in the Seattle area. They also stayed open for all live England and USA matches during World Cup 2002.
Unfortunately, Manchester United fans outnumber all other fans in this establishment.
If...

This coming Saturday, Man U beat Charlton which puts them 8 points clear of us, but they have played 2 games more than us. We then beat Leeds on Sunday to bring it back to 5 points, but still have a game in hand. We then beat Southampton next Wednesday to cut United’s lead down to 2 points (United 80 pts from 37 games, Arsenal 78 pts from 37 games). It all comes down to May 11th when we go up to Sunderland (where we never win) and United travel to Everton. Both games end up going into stoppage time with 0-0 scorelines which basically means United win the title with 81 pts with us finishing...

How did the ancient Egyptians build the pyramids? Where did the massive plinths of Stonehenge come from? What happened to Arsenal FC in the second half of the 2002-2003 season? Yes, these are the great mysteries of our time. It?s a bit hard to recall now, but back in September it wasn?t unreasonable for an Arsenal fan to wonder if we?d lose at all this year or who our opponent would be in the Champions League final. Fast forward seven months and things have changed quite dramatically. Now as I write this we are still mathematically alive for the Double and are in a position 18 other teams...

There are certain things in life that are inevitable. It will rain in London in April and Arsenal will not win the League every year. I have just come back from London from a short ‘wish you better visit’ to dear Mother. It was raining when I arrived and when I left, and the title race is all but over. I will not concede the title until it is an impossibility but the noise of Man U fans against Scum singing “we’ve got our title back,” was quite frankly a little sickening.

From Football Unlimited (football.guardian.co.uk)…
A miserable month for Arsenal was completed when they suffered Uefa Cup humiliation at the hands of Fortuna Hjorring, whose 5-1 victory at Barnet in the second leg of their semi-final took the Danish champions through 8-2 on aggregate.
The Gunners have not only gone out of Europe but also lost an FA Cup semi-final, the League Cup final and seen their Premier League crown whisked away by Fulham.
“We’ve given it our best shot in every competition,” said their manager Vic Akers, “but unfortunately...

From teamtalk.com…
Arsene Wenger has criticised Bolton manager Sam Allardyce over what he described as putting “unbelievable pressure” on referee Andy D’Urso.
Allardyce was widely reported before Saturday’s 2-2 draw issuing a thinly-veiled warning to Essex official D’Urso that, in his view, referees generally “showed a huge bias towards top teams” and that Arsenal “regularly intimidated referees”.
Arsenal manager Wenger told the London Evening Standard: “I don’t like the way Allardyce prepared that game...

With a 2-2 Draw to a side we could and should have taken in Bolton, an earlier draw in a crucial game with ManUre, the race that was supposedly “in our hands” seems to be out of reach. So one has to ask, what’s the problem? It seems to be a lack of the ability to finish. We started the season strong and seem to have fallen off since the set in of 2003. Our losses have typically ended in losing a lead towards the close of the match. I wanted to blame the boys up front. Until the award announcement today I hadn’t heard much from Henry. I wanted to blame the defense. Due...
