Try the Old Town Sports Bar in Puerto del Carmen fella. Watched the 2011 LC final there. Hope you have better luck!
I'll be in Costa Teguise,is it near there?
Afraid not, about 20km away down the coast. Are you staying at a hotel?
Yeah,the Divers or something? I had nothing to do with the booking,my Spud brother-in-law booked it,so I fucking hope we win because him and his brother will torture me all week if not!!

agree 100%....
At Wembley in semi final of FA Cup has to be your first choice 11 playing, another stupid decision......one of many im afraid
Reading are total tripe; they score a goal a game on average and ship them for fun at the other end. If we lose this it will rank as one of our worst ever capitulations (saying something) because they really are a piss-poor side.

This will be piss easy........I will be shocked if we don't win by 4 goals (4-0 or 5-1) and that will be with us going at half pace for the last 30 minutes.
I know that people talk about the magic of the fa cup when small clubs can beat the bigger clubs, but for me that has diminished somewhat because of the huge gulf in financial resources nowadays Reading will enjoy their day out and arrive with no expectations to win cos they aint even a good team in their division, and we will absolutely steamroll them I would guess that the tv viewing figures will be the lowest ever for a cup semi because by half time most neutral's will have turned over to watch the manure v chavs game
They are dropping the criteria terribly slowly- Monday it was Reds/ silvers with 44 games attended, today 40- Its a fair way of them doing it, but exceedingly slow- may not sell out till Thursday

Is there anywhere you know of in Teguise?
Sorry mate, no idea. Reception at the hotel should be able to sort you. Some of the bars have bookies right in them from what I remember.

Still pisses me off that Flappy played in last yrs final.
Haven't won a trophy for yrs, in the final of the cup, nothing else to play for....on what planet must you be on to wake up and think "I know...I'll play my second best goalkeeper....who's shit....and leaving in a couple of weeks....i'm a fucking genius me"

4-0.
So were Birmingham
Blues were, at least, a top-flight side; although fuck knows how and not for long after they beat us. That 'performance' still gives me the fear.
