Lady G


Bit of an odd one this for me as since I got the HD box I tend to watch games at home (and enjoy scaring people as I do so - I am not a quiet watcher!)


But I sometimes prefer the IDEA of watching in the pub but the selection at the moment isn't all that great


EDT - the screen needs sorting - hurts my eyes

Mag - better screen but somtimes I feel as if I'm the only one watching

Castle - I used to go there for teh Champion#s League games ONDigital - ah memories... but again no atmosphere for Arsenal games (Celtic or Ireland games are another story!)

Plough - ok just kidding with that one

CPT - actually I used to like going there for football sometimes


In any case I'm in Devon for the Chelsea game this weekend - soz

CPT is pretty good so long as you get there in time to get a spot, as it can get very busy for football.... But, if you're in to the game, it's a good atmosphere! I shall be there tomorrow preying that Liverpool can overturn Chelsea's lead!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


By the way, I'm pretty sure Shambles is a Gooner.....

Cheers Sean... Not overly confident, but it's not impossible, the reds are at homem, and we've been here before.... We just need a "goal that wasn't" so Jose can moan for another couple of years!


Ratty, I laughed towards the end of the Carling Cup Final, when some "Johnny come lately" Chelsea fan was being rather loud and annoying, only for a much bigger and scarier looking Arsenal fan to shout at him "Where were you when you were sh!t?".... The guy soon shut up ;-)

I'm in Devon also this weekend - but taking a 4 hour journey back up to town on Sunday to bait Ashley Cole in person!

Hope Great Western perform better than when taking me to Cardiff for Carling Cup - missed the first half and Theo's first goal for Arsenal!

Well I for one am a johnny come lately West Ham fan having only been a a hammer for 33 years tsk tsk, who would want to miss out on all the excitement eh?

No doubt JCL fans have three wheeled buggies and Chelsea Tractors too?


Ladygooner, shambles is indeed another ladygooner who goes to the Emirates, so I'm sure she'll have an easily twistable arm for pub footie.

EDT is best for the big games, but as Sean points out they REALLY need to sort out that screen.

CPT is best if it's not such a big game (read any west ham game) as you can actually find a spot to view the screen without a tall bloke/pillar/wall in the way. Though I'll never forget the England Denmark game there with 3 rows of people peering in throught the windows, and we all had always said that Heskey's great, honest.


Mag is ok if it's not too busy, it just doesn't seem set up right to watch sport as it only takes 8 people in the pub to have taken up every half decent angle on the many screens. Ganley's was ok but has obviously shut now and would anyway switch over form premiership action to Clare vs Kilkenny in the Hurling.

A fine picture indeed, but doesn't too much for the reputation of girls who follow the sport!;-)

I recently moved to ED and before we had sky sports installed, watched a few games in the Magdala. Is the Castle any good for football? I thought it was a "local pub for local people" so have stayed away. Although I am a local now, I wasn't too sure how the regulars would feel about a girl proping up the bar watching football....

I don't think it needs to be taken that seriousely if you realy want to prove yourself then explain the off side rule or something.....gosh i'm such a disapointment :-$


I really don't think i have spoilt the reputation as you say of females liking sport, chill bill!

I usually watch the footy in the Mag or the EDT and on some occasions the CPT and I think it's great that more of the ladies are getting into our glorious game. My niece is Liverpool daft and I myself (sorry to disappoint the Lady Gooners on this thread) am a life long supporter of Tottenham Hotspur. Yeah! "Come on you Spurs">:D

    • https://www.standard.co.uk/news/crime/police-hunt-attack-south-london-b1247389.html Apologies if already posted on here - did look, couldn't find anything... 'The Metropolitan Police have appealed for help to find a man after a woman was seriously injured in an unprovoked attack in south London. The woman, in her 20s, was assaulted on Lordship Lane in East Dulwich at around 4.45pm on Monday August 25. She was treated by paramedics for injuries to her face and her jaw was broken in the attack. The victim was then taken to hospital and she continues to be supported by specialist officers. Officers are now searching for the suspect and are urging members of the public to come forward if they have information. He is described as a black man in his 30s or 40s with balding hair. He was wearing dark clothing during the attack. He is said to have approached the woman while she was by herself before swearing at her and then hitting her in the face. Detective constable Charlotte Kerr, who is leading the investigation, said: “We are working hard to find the person we believe is responsible for this senseless and unprovoked attack. “While we continue our enquiries, we hope our increased neighbourhood police presence will offer some reassurance to women and girls throughout the local area. “If you saw anything on Monday, 25 August – particularly between the junction of Lordship Lane and Chesterfield Grove at around 16:45hrs - do not hesitate to get in touch with us. “No matter how small you think your information is, it may be the key that unlocks our investigation.” Any witnesses or anyone who can help identify the suspect is asked to please contact the Met via 101, quoting 5018/25AUG or 01/7897951/25. Those who wish to share information anonymously can contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.'
    • I think, with schools, you really have to find the one that suits your child, rather than moving to a school catchment and then hoping it works. Mine both went to a high ranking and covetable school and had very different experiences - one loved it and the other was bullied and traumatised, and hated it. WE actually moved away because she couldn't walk around the area (yes - Dulwich area, so one of the local schools).
    • We live a little further down, on Pymers Mead. Traffic is terrible (always has been, but worse since the introduction of the Southwark LTNs). It's mainly the school drop -- traffic is noticeably lighter once the private schools break up  Have a few friends who live on that side of CR backing on to the train line. None has had any major complaints and the gardens on that stretch are fairly long, so you're not right on the line. Some have kids who go to Charter North -- its catchment defintely extends to Croxted Road. Other state secondaries nearby are Elmgreen and, of course, Kingsdale, although that doesn't have a catchment -- pure lottery
    • Hi. Does anyone know of a silver making jewellery workshop. I am trying to find something nice for my daughter’s 18th birthday.l for her and some friends but everything I find online is too pricey or can’t accommodate 10 girls. Thanks
