...a quick "pedants' corner" type comment; H&F have three Premier League clubs rather than Premiership. The latter is the top rugby division of which there are none, although the Premier League did briefly flirt with the name "Premiership" a few years ago. |

And you have a bridge rather than a bride. |

Sssh, nobody who reads this after half past seven will notice. Thanks! |

Two withs in para 4 and a then/them in 2nd line of 'sporty'.
Whatever happened to cause you not to post the other day must have been momentous ;) |

Yes, you're right about the Michael Jackson statue. It's just inside the perimeter of Craven Cottage, on the river bank in the North-West corner of the grounds. You can just about glimpse it through the gap in a gate. When I had a look on a weekday afternoon it was blasting out his greatest hits with all the sound quality of a mobile phone speaker. If that's on all the time I can't believe the workers haven't been driven mad.
And yes, it really is one of the worst public works of art in London, so much so that it almost is a parody. |

That's a good pub quiz trick question, that: the full name of the borough where Chelsea's ground is - all the smart alecs will think they've got it right with The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. |

The other unique feature of Craven Cottage is the cottage, also 100 years old, a separate structure with changing rooms and unique in football.
It's worth mentioning the financial problems both Chelsea and Fulham had in the 80s and 90s, and the desperate fights to save both grounds from the property developers. That H & F still has 3 clubs in 3 grounds is in many ways a miracle! |

The Michael Jackson statue... gosh, what an embarrassment. (And I'm a Fulham supporter!) |
