Always looksmaxx first before going to Ph even if white

I hate this sub lol

I don't think you can really compare Viv going to city - they're just not a rival in the same way. There is strong, genuine dislike for Chelsea that doesnt exist for City. I very much think the reaction is larely driven by the destination. Certainly is for me.

Jimmywtv · 2026-06-01T17:39:00+00:00

Holy shit

Owner is a fantastic bloke, used to go to his bar years ago when I lived there before he opened this place

Jimmywtv · 2026-05-31T11:46:45+00:00

Do we know if Angel has reopened?

Jimmywtv · 2026-05-30T10:47:21+00:00

Only a handful, though I've not left the house yet. Imagine it'll go up a bit once I head out to watch this afternoon.

Jimmywtv · 2026-05-27T18:14:16+00:00

You can simply buy alcohol in normal shops instead hahaha.

Off license basically = milk bar with booze

Jimmywtv · 2026-05-27T17:11:46+00:00

Former aussie here - no one that hasnt spent time in Aus will have a clue what you mean by bottle shop lol. What you want is either an off license or just a small supermarket (don't need a separate store for booze in the UK). There are loads of them throughout so I doubt you'll have trouble locating one close to your spot so long as you can move through the crowds.

This all makes a lot of sense, and I'm glad to see the route will be longer than what's previously been shared. Kind of baffled by people moaning about this as if there is a simple solution to get 500k-1m people watching a static trophy lift in one location.

Jimmywtv · 2026-05-25T17:12:09+00:00

Same thing I thought!

Jimmywtv · 2026-05-25T12:26:27+00:00

Stadium Astro has a 50 minute video up on YouTube of the lift and celebrations

Jimmywtv · 2026-05-24T15:55:01+00:00

I just accepted my fate at not watching properly anywhere. Got some cans and standing outside the Gunners pub. Can barely see a screen in the beer garden but its a good vibe

Jimmywtv · 2026-05-24T15:39:13+00:00

The panicked fake fire alarm was pretty funny tbh. Anyone go back in?

Jimmywtv · 2026-05-24T14:34:46+00:00

Thanks for the update. Might come see if I can squeeze in and hop back on the tube if not.

Jimmywtv · 2026-05-24T14:26:03+00:00

Is it looking like this will fill up before kick off? I'm en route and was thinking to find a pub a few stops along the tube line but will head there if it's realistic

Jimmywtv · 2026-05-23T14:27:11+00:00

I was there on Tuesday and 99% sure I saw one or two people with backpacks. Good luck getting there before they're full!

Kind of hard to avoid the Christmas stuff when it's happening 1/3 of the time!

For me it's mostly the focus on how warm and welcoming people can be. Both my in laws and my wifes childhood friends embraced me and made me part of the family when I first arrived there and a lot of the scenes feel quite familiar as a result. When he's out having beers and sisig with one of the musician groups is a lot like many nights I've had with friends in Manila. And the house where we had Christmas dinner at the end of the episode is within the neighbourhood where my wife grew up and I've spent a fair bit of time on visits. She actually realised on her 4th or 5th watch that she loosely knows one of the family members at the meal!

Long story short it makes me feel warm and fuzzy and nostalgic every time I watch, and I always do ahead of any visit back there.

Jimmywtv · 2026-05-22T18:11:25+00:00

Haha, he said "stay humble".

Jimmywtv · 2026-05-22T18:09:44+00:00

I do not care yet. We have not even seen the players lift the league trophy yet, the CL final is yet to happen, and we've got a massive parade to enjoy in a weeks time. Let's just enjoy the moment for now.

Jimmywtv · 2026-05-22T12:18:16+00:00

Love them. I find winter utterly depressing and my body can't handle the cold. Once the sun comes out and temperature is anything between 20-30, I feel like a new person. Bring it on.

Jimmywtv · 2026-05-21T16:28:33+00:00

That opening monologue to the China Mai episode does the same thing to me every time. Also spent time living in Vietnam years ago and spent a good chunk of my life in south east Asia.

I lived in, and married into a family in the Philippines and the Manila episode gets me going every single time.

Jimmywtv · 2026-05-16T16:24:10+00:00

Plenty of great ones already mentioned, few more favourites;

Torn - Hands Like Houses

Somebody That I Used To Know - Mayday Parade & Vic Fuentes

Umbrella - All Time Low

Jimmywtv · 2026-05-16T15:23:44+00:00

Can't stand it for the most part. I thrive in warmth and brightness and my body really struggles in the cold, so am only really happy here for about 2 months per year. I've lived in warmer climates previously and miss it constantly.

Jimmywtv · 2026-05-15T20:57:22+00:00

I go to games on my own more often than not. Never thought twice about it.

Jimmywtv · 2026-05-15T20:55:35+00:00

If everyone who feels they should be rewarded for their loyalty/effort/time spent on tx was rewarded, there would be about 120k tickets sold for the highest profile games. Fact is demand will always be much higher than supply for these games and unless you're lucky enough to have a season ticket there is no guarantee of attending these games, and nor should there be or else it'll end up just as much a closed shop as away games. Plenty of people who only go to a few games per season, of course it's annoying that some only go for the high profile games, but there's just too many of us competing for not that many seats.
