Help! 15:10 - Jul 7 with 1699 viewsPendejo

I can't watch tonight's game at home. Wife completely anti football and doesn't understand why the leg spasm happens or why my personality / mood changes.
Kids not into football and person with whom I normally suffer with at football lives other side of London and is still wary of the virus despite double jab.
Can't go to elderly Uncle's due to him being an insufferable racist.

Of the other London based fans I know they:
Live too far away - you in Enfield
Haven't had contact with in over 10 years - Mr. Morley Ravensbourne
Or
Don't know well enough to invite myself slong

Anyone out there SE or Central London care to take pity?

Not going to be drinking, so less chance of embarrassing myself than normal.

Think I'm going to have to wander around Central London soaking up the atmosphere as its too late to make plans. Thought I could tough it out like I did for Croatia in 2018... But I can't.

Nervous, excited, love/hate football!

I have no clue about that sort of thing but aren't there fan parks set up somewhere in central? Or do you need to book that well in advance?

I'd wager Skehan's in Broccoli has a big screen for it - maybe worth a ring.

Sounds like a perfect opportunity to get the wife and kids “into” football.

I think everywhere probably booked and don't have time today to research. Biggest pub near me, Rose Inn opp New X Gate Station, is full.

Keep meaning to try Skehans.

Ah, the Rose is decent - used to be Hobgoblin, didn't it? Bit pricier now, mind, but food is much, much better.

Definitely give Skehan's a go - great little Irish pub with Thai food, all at decent prices. Especially good if you're a rugby sort.

Good luck with your quest! But you could also tell the dear lady...

Is there really no way you can commandeer the TV, or is it just going to end in a row? I'm not of the mindset of 'put your foot down' but surely we all have to compromise sometimes, this is a massive game of football, which in turn, is clearly a game you care about.

It's not that she won't, 3 Tvs, it's that "she doesn't understand" football fandom.

I need to be in a safe environment, ie surrounded by fellow fans.

Kids are 18 and 19, hold on youngest offspring works in a pub... How dim of me...

Food at The Rose is excellent, but preferred it when it was The Hobgoblin

This tournament happens every four years. If I was stopped from watching an England semi final, in my own home I would simply laugh in their face, fart and turn the volume up.

Crazy times we find ourselves in.

I too would be watching it whichever way I pleased, although that does go some way to explaining why I am happily single.

Not sure what it looks like in London, but for the world cup me and few mates went to a bowling alley to watch the Croatia semi final. Was barely anyone there, could get a few games in before hand and one at half time plus food. Good stuff.

Think some of you need to re-read the post.

Nowhere dies it say she won't let me watch it, it is about me craving the footy atmos surrounded by like minded souls.

I can't watch tonight's game at home not she won't let me big difference.

Anyway now on a bus thru Peckham heading for SE1
