What the hell is in those pies @ Arsenal?!
I love it how the pies @ Bolton & Wigan are the cheapest.

It is. Just because we're less expensive than most doesn't alter the fact that going to the match is still expensive.

Indeed. That hasn't factored in the £100 beer and cab money.

But we've got the cheapest cuppa in the Prem. :pray:

You can set that off by dropping your "take the skin off the roof of your mouth" pie in it for 10 minutes...

Fcking broccoli. I shit you not. When I went first time (took my own stuff second) they had no booze on, and the only food they had left was a £4quid vegetable (broccoli and a bit of carrot) pie. It were shit.

I didn't buy a pie at Arsenal, too busy sitting on the bouncy seats.

Was impressed with the pies at Wembley, probably in the area of £4 though.

We still run out of Bovril in winter though. Several times. W*nkers.

Always buy an away one. Just force of habit. Don't really bother at home.

Coldest ground I have been in is still Hartlepool - by a long way... (There may be colder - but I haven't been in them!)
