    That’s one of the big things I miss about London.
    Loved witnessing the troops doing their thing.

    I wonder what the Irish lads thought about it though, in all seriousness 🤔
    They're young kids, I doubt they'd be phased.
    Thirty or forty years ago might have been different?

    This is pitiful. Reminds me of this scene from The Natural. "Losing is a disease."

    “We’ll be coming back here pre-season” sounds positive in terms of Deano’s thinking about renewing his contract.

    Maybe they'll get to have a go on the horses next time.  :)

    I was on the top deck, front seat of a bus on Shooters Hill once when about a hundred horses of the King's Troop, Royal Horse Artillery came from the opposite direction.  There were gun carriages, solo riders, horses with no riders (like photo).  They weren't hanging about either.  What a sight! I was so mesmerised I didn't think to photograph it.  Mind you it was over in a moment. 




    Came out of Bond Street Tube about 9am once on the way to work & a similar sight was right in front of me, tremendous watching them ride past, not the usual rush hour traffic in Oxford Street !!! In fact I worked there for 10 years & previously for about 7 years & only ever saw them that once.

    One lot entertains on demand and spreads joy to all those watching, finishing the performance to rounds of raptuous applause...

    A place close to my heart, my late grandfather was based there.
    I’m semi involved in a small refurbishment project st the garrison church across the road, which can be seen in the background of some shots in the video.
    If your ever passing, stop and take a look at some fascinating history, and some bullet and shell holes still in the walls of the pillars

    It's all about bonding. Living in Melb Au I support Carlton (I just dropped the h).
    They won a premiership with very good players. Other teams had superstars. But team bonding of that side enabled them to win. The coach actually stated the team virtually managed themselves given there bonding and desire to succeed. Applies to soccer. There many instances that a champion team beats a team of Champions. Currently Chelsea are a good example of the later

    My Dad had Church Parades at the Garrison Church, hit by a V1 or V2?

    Having looked at the film some of the army guys if not all, look a lot fitter than most of our squad. 
    As for bonding you are having a laugh. In one photo Holdens looking at his phone while two players are standing on drums and passing a plank of wood to one another.

    Proof is in the pudding come 5pm Saturday.

    I like it. Still means most of our players are shit but can’t do any harm. I would like Holden to be a success with us. 

    I want any manager to be a success with us, but Holden is the first since Bowyer that I believe in.

    If he had a couple of years in charge, he could get us to succeed in adversity, like Lennie imo.

    Well worth having a look around if you see the gates open.
