Don't fancy going in the Legends as it'll be rammed.

Unfortunately my local is either The Harvester or Village Tavern.

Not the most desirable place for football, but watched the Brighton game in MacKenzie's and it was surprisingly amazing. Every single fucker in there was watching the game, getting behind the town and singing. It was so much more than i expected which was why it was probably ace. As i've said before, it was the best experience i've ever had watching footy in a pub.

I went down the windmill when Hayes was fighting that giant. They weren't showing it but had the radio commentary on. I expect they would show the game though, don't they have that super crazy 3d shit?

Back to Ecosse tonight. When Austin scored I knocked a full pint of cider onto the table/floor.

Hopefully tonight will be as enjoyable!

Unfortunatly I have to watch it in my own home, albeit on a 52" with Sky HD as none of the pubs locally will be showing it, they dont give a shit about such an important game...wierd.

Still considering where to watch it, not sure, considering Merlin but haven't watched the footy for years in there and not sure its any good anybody know?

If not may go to the New Inn.

Well considering it's probably a lot of TEFer's adopted local it's probably a good shout.

What I mailed to a mate of mine earlier today....sums up my current frame of mind.

"I am thinking I may invite myself around yours to watch footy tonight. I know I mentioned going to pub but to be honest I am too edgy and want to be in a nice comfortable homely environment to watch it in case I have to cry."

I came to a similar conclusion. Initially wanted to go to a pub for the atmosphere, but going to my uncle's instead incase it all goes horribly, horribly wrong! (and he has HD!).

Think yourselves lucky. My daughter is doing her first performance in the choir in front of 650 people tonight, me being one of them. I'm not going to see or hear anything until around 9.30. Even then i think i'll stick my head in the sand and wait until 10.30 before checking.
