  1. Just next to the medieval wall, lovely spot although I've yet to visit the club, will check it out. Another place with a great view over the bridge and river is this new bar in the maze of steps and alleys down from the cathedral @PHILINFRANCE: https://maps.app.goo.gl/Dge2Su9sjN2MNZw4A
  2. Hi Phil, I take it you've already done the centre on previous visits then? I should probably update my user name as I haven't lived in Porto since 2012 although I do go there fairly regularly (next trip I have planned is in July to see The Cult, although it'd be unusual if I didn't also go sometime between now and then, anyway I digress) - I'm up in the mountains now. You should definitely do a Douro river cruise if you haven't before, they are available for all budgets and of varying duration, the spectacular scenery of the terraced Douro valley, home of the great vineyards of port wine fame. Beaches, well you need go no further than Matosinhos in the Northern suburbs - take the metro from the centre and go to Praia de Matosinhos, a vast expanse of golden sands with plenty of beachfront bars. The area is the traditional fishing port so you can eat fresh seafood anywhere if that's your thing. In the centre I often find myself lunching here, good Portuguese fare at reasonable rates and right next to Estação São Bento (although can be a bit of a nightmare getting to it currently due to the ongoing works for the subway extension): https://maps.app.goo.gl/tK9DEKdg8hfkaiPd8
  3. I bet you shit yourself if Joey's, er, "legal team" show up at your door
  4. I find your thought process valid and you're clearly a decent person. Having said that, let's re-evaluate once you've had to put up with him for 20 years. (See rest of thread for corRobboration.)
  5. Oh god are we playing again already? Do I have to watch? (Devon lad born and bred but I never knew that about Britain's oldest bakery. Amazing)
  6. I don't like horror films so I'm not entirely sure why I'll be watching this.

    Usually on here https://sports-10.com/
  8. Almost word for word what I was about to write, it certainly is.
  9. Want to agree, but I guess you missed 2014/15, that was exhilarating
  10. Couldn't agree more, came here to post a Hayden thread myself. Absolutely outstanding tonight in defence and attack. The Bristol City left back charm continues, imagine having him and Pring competing.
  11. This'll be perfect and it's free https://sports-10.com/
  12. Well that was weird, not sure I've ever watched a game before where both teams have swapped kits at half time
  13. First time I've heard "arousal" in a football context since LJ
  14. Slightly odd the apparent obsession with our away stats from a supposed Coventry fan. This is not something we remotely have a complex about (unlike the blue few), we are well aware that we don't travel in great numbers these days to anything other than marquee occasions, largely because we've been floating in mid table in this division for several millennia now and there's nothing new to see.
  15. Certainly wasn't expecting a Bauhaus reference on here, but you're quite right. Bowie is supposed to have said it was better than the original.
  16. Which apparently is the modern and much less expressive version of "as the actress said to the bishop". Everything is getting shitter and less meaningful now, we were the lucky last ones. My work colleagues call me boomer, little do they know (about basically everything, but particularly about how less in depth and valid their world view is, a worrying retrograde)
  17. Ok, thanks Stortz, interesting history, I'll keep an eye on that from now.
  18. Because him and the other two fans don't get on
  19. I'll have a go: Birmingham City 0-0 Bristol City Condensed version Unbeaten run continues Less said the better Next
  20. Pring's double tackle and Bell's nutmeg the highlights. The only ones, too.
  21. @Jerseybeanif I hadn't seen that you started this thread yesterday I wouldn't have realised that we were playing today, so just wanted to thank you for your clockwork precision there.
