Swings and roundabouts TBF as most pensioners will have started work a lot earlier than those that will have to wait a little longer for their state pension. Many would have left school at 16 and started work straight away. Today a lot more soap dodge and go to uni and then find it harder to get a job.Callumcafc said:
The ever increasing age of retirement would suggest otherwise…R0TW said:My guess is that they have worked longer than you ever will.0 -
Remember folks, "Win or lose, ON THE BOOZE!"

I wasn’t fussed it’s a second rate trophy I’d have pushed it for the World Cup Final 😉

What time do you want me there mate?R0TW said:Weather is looking good, so garden with telly and a few friends around it is.
My sons got four tickets for the o2 and asked if I fancied it.
I think he was being polite as he knew there wasn’t a hope in hell of me going there.
You’re more than welcome mate.
Off to Sittingbourne this afternoon to see Wellings finest in action if you fancy it?0 -
@p@PaddyP17 The Wickham Arms is a nice backstreet pub in Brockley, just off Lewisham Way. 1 big screen/projector, 2 regular size screens. Not been in for any England games, but always good for Prem/Champs League. Rising Sun on Loampit Vale could also be an option, although it did have a Millwall shirt on the wall last time I was in there. I'd phone in advance but neither are the type of place that would do reservations.PaddyP17 said:Anyone know a good boozer kind of anywhere in SE that isn't yet completely done for bookings? A load of us have left it a bit too late as we're playing cricket in Shoreham (1pm start, 30 overs a side, done by 5ish we hope) and weren't sure when we'd be able to get somewhere.
Ideally one of Greenwich, Kidbrooke, Dartford, Lewisham/Lee, Bromley would be the options owing to the respective geographies of our group and transport logistics. Cheers1 -
Was talking to a mate about this yesterday. His little boy is 10 and has seen us in 2 finals already. I had to wait 40 years for one!ValleyGary said:At home with the missus and a few friends.
We won’t get to see England in many major finals in our lifetimes, so just gonna enjoy it.3 -
Same scenario for me - 46 years for a major final - yet my 4 year old daughter (who is football mad - my fault) will have had 2 come tomorrow.Chris_from_Sidcup said:

Fuck all this ohhhh two European finals our kids are so lucky
they’ve lived breathed watched and had to endure The shittiest period of football in Charltons history , so I know it’s different but when we lost to Argentina on penalties in 1998 (which had to happen because we’d all used our penalty luck up at Wembley ) we had a Premiership season to look forward to , now its wank yourself off at Wigan time6 -

Quite possibly not with the increasing retirement age.R0TW said:My guess is that they have worked longer than you ever will.
My guess is that they are miserable old gits.2 -
I shall watch at home with my other half. My youngest (30) has decided with 3 of his mates to drive to Amsterdam today, then go on to the final just to soak up the atmosphere in a fan park or something! Madness of youth!3

If it weren’t for the dickheads throwing beer at, and giving abuse to, Southgate then he would probably want to stay, and we’d probably get to see some more.ValleyGary said:At home with the missus and a few friends.

I’ll be watching at home with a family of various degrees of enthusiasm:
My wife will watch her first match of the tournament.
My eldest son will watch his 2nd after having been surprised at enjoying the semi-final.
My 2nd son is a big football fan. He captains an U15 team here in France but always supports England. We were both jumping around in a big hug when Watkins scored.
My daughter probably won’t watch much.
If England win I just won’t be able to contain myself. Like many England fans of my age, I’m desperate to end a this damning run of near misses, bad refereeing decisions and red cards, not to mention England teams of low quality. This team have what it takes- maybe my wife will have to fulfill her promise to drive me around town so I can show the spoilt and undeserving French public how to really celebrate being Champions, and I don’t give a shit if I’m the only one.8 -
Sounds like the FA want him to stay on, so be interesting if he decides to stick it out until the 2026 World Cup, and risk tarnishing his time with us, especially as the pressure as potential European Champions will be even more intense.jimmymelrose said:

Also worth remembering that the winners of tomorrow, will face one of Argentina or Colombia in the Finalissima next summer.0 -
Regardless of tomorrow’s result it sounds like the FA want Nigel to stay on and he’s the most successful England manager since you bribed the officials in 66.
how would everyone feel if he walked away for club football?
Scotland had it with both Walter Smith and McLeish and despite them not even qualifying for anything it still pisses me off that they walked out on their country for club football, imho playing for/managing your country is supposed to be the proudest part of your career and you should only stop when you’re no called up/a change of manager is needed0 -
I actually think winning a tournament would ease pressure on future England teams.ForeverAddickted said:

Booked my flights to Shanghai, heading to a massive sports bar, can’t wait.7

This is what I really didn’t want to happen. The FA are always making crap decisions and that one would be as mental as previous bad ones. Thank him for his remarkable service, give the bloke a knighthood and part company. Limping to the final in this doesn’t excuse his lack of nous with the squad he has my nan could get to the final with the draw we had.cafcdave123 said:Regardless of tomorrow’s result it sounds like the FA want Nigel to stay on and he’s the most successful England manager since you bribed the officials in 66.

im praying he goes into club management with Man Utd that would be hilarious 🤣3 -
I dont see him back in the Club game, not as a success anyway. He's another Chris Coleman, can work wonders when he has limited time, but struggles when restrained by budgets etc.cafcdave123 said:Regardless of tomorrow’s result it sounds like the FA want Nigel to stay on and he’s the most successful England manager since you bribed the officials in 66.

Like you I also think he and Steve Holland would be f**ked without the other.
Won't be surprised if a Middle East team throws money at him2 -

I’ve mentioned before but I think Steve Holland is the one making all the calls and I reckon he’d get a crack at it if GS goes1 -
I'll be wetting the whistle about 3pm down brighton, then around 6pm heading down a local bar to watch it. Can't wait for it.0

Heading out to a pub here in Perth called the Woodvale, will be packed with English fans at 0300am on a Monday morning.One good thing living over here other than the beautiful beaches is that you accumulate loads of leave through different means at work, so don’t think many people will have to think about work Monday morning 😂🍻⚽️👍3

On the piss in Berlin. Secured our tickets on the train from Düsseldorf to Berlin yesterday - thank fuck for German 5G efficiency!

Bar with match on table booked. So Santorini bar Kamari.Kap10 said:I'm in Santorini and watched the semi final in our hotel room. Trying to decide if I'll book a table at a local restaurant showing it.
Many years ago, I went with Peterboro Addick to a local Peterbro pub and watched the England Argentina 2-3 loss. At full time it turned quite nasty and, whilst nothing happened to me, I felt threatened. Ever since I've found watching matches on my own in public places a bit disconcerting. On the other hand if we win I'd like to share the atmosphere.
If we do lose hopefully no glasses thrown and no spitting at the screen, wife has been instructed.16 -

Will be watching at home with the missus. Missing watching with jnr as I have shared all of his most significant football memories up til now - hoping for a drunken facetime around 10pm…
As others have said, strange that a lot of kids have seen as much ‘success’ as me because of recent tournaments.
I was too young to remember ‘66 and 1970 was a bit hazy - after that it was a whole series of failing to qualify as much as not performing at the finals0 -
Watching at home on my own, Mrs is away visiting family. Pretty relaxed about it, after 55 years of watching England I always convince myself it’s not gonna happen in a self defence sort of way. Saying that, will go absolutely mental if they actually win the whole thing.4
