Lets all move to Holloway Road
When did Holloway Road go upmarket? Last night I ventured to my brother's new flat just behind Holloway Road tube with some mates, some beer, and a dirty great curry to watch Oxford United on Sky Sports. Despite the grubby reality of Holloway Road itself, take any turn off from the main road and you are face to face with some of the poshest new flats London has to offer. My brother lives on 7th floor of one of these that overlooks nearly ALL of London. Apparently, if you buy one of said flats you get an Arsenal seasonal ticket thrown in for free?!
Anyway, Oxford could only manage a paltry 1-1 draw with lowly Halifax town. In a game devoid of any quality (why would we want to make ourselves look any good in front of the TV cameras?) we took the lead with a goal from big Marvin Robinson - who did his best to miss from 1 yard - before our defence packed up and went home. It was a well taken goal from Halifax - but the chap who scored was literally the only man in the 18 yard box.
Ho hum....playoffs it is then.

I remember going to a lettings agents looking to rent a flat, he said was in Highgate. Took us down the back street off Highgate Hill, down dartmouth park road, just so he could avoid driving down the Junction road- Turns out the flat was in Archway. Now theres a place that needs a pick me up.
