Are you referring to the 8 Bells or Craven Cottage?
I think it was something like £3.75 for a watered-down pint in the 8 Bells last year. We quickly learned our lesson. Had one pint, and then nipped around the corner to the off-licence and oured our cans into the plastic glassses we had used. A round went from around £16 to £4. To be honest, I prefer the Kings Arms - about 100 metres past the 8 Bells. There are also couple of decent boozers across Putney Bridge. after the game we went to a place that was showing the Chelsea game and the NRL clash between the silvertails and Eels.
If the weather is nice, I prefer getting a few cans and having a few beers in the park.
In terms of Craven Cottage we paid £51 (this includes a £2 booking fee). The beer was the usual price - £3.50. However, it was my least favourite beer - Carling.
Quote:So in the past two weeks, Zamora has played against Vidic and now Kompany and both games he's been eliminated. And people think he should go to South Africa?
To be fair, they are both very good centre-halves.
I don't rate Zamora very highly but to be fair to him, he has out-performed Carlton Cole and Emile Heskey this season. If England selection was based on form, then IMO either Zamora or Bent would be fourth choice behind Rooney, Crouch and Defoe.
