I’m looking forward on my 6am commute to having to deal with pissed up staggering fans wandering home and probably drink drivers to avoid too.


Let’s be honest, its a stupid fucking idea.

Sunday has always been a day of minimal staffing levels. Dragging in hundreds of cops in on their days off at this short notice is going to cost a fortune.

And it’ll be a waste. How many pubs are actually going to stay open? How many staff will be willing to work until 5am pulling pints for a bunch of pissheads for £12.70 an hour?

As a punter it’s going to be a weird atmosphere too.

And potentially dangerous if England lose and men who’ve drunk all day have no one else other than each other and early morning commuters to punch.

I assumed there would be more punching if England won


Better not lose then.




honestly the way we drink in the uk it’s gonna be a crazy morning on monday
