I have the day off, so I thought I'd get my Irish on a little... B-)

4. The crowd in Doyle's really seemed to be Arsenal fans.
When Arsenal scored two goals in as many minutes, the patrons in Doyle's nearly raised the roof.

5. I guess both are London teams. I guess the story is that Chelsea

was on top, and now on the way down, and Arsenal was a lesser team, now on the way to the top?
Maybe that's the fan attraction at this time?

Is Doyle's Irish? How does that figure in the equation?

6. Yeah, it's an Irish-style pub not far from the Temple Theater and Convention Center in east Tacoma.
It was a pretty dreary day today in T-Town. I had a few hours to kill, so I popped in for a beer and a Doyle-Dip, which is a French-dip sandwich with cheese and horseradish.

I know why pubs are so popular in Ireland. A warm, companionable place to get in out of the drizzle and have something hot to eat and relaxing to drink.

7. Does Drogba still play for Chelsea?
I love Primiere League especially in cold weather

I think I need to buy a soccer package.

8. Shoot, I don't know. The match was on the TV when I walked in.
I divided my attention between the game and surfing the net, including DU, in my new iPad.

10. Doyle's is an Irish pub in Tacoma, Washington (T-Town).
Arsenal and Chelsea are English football (soccer) teams.
