Possibly going to be in Dublin for the Arsenal away game. Any West Ham pubs that will be showing this game at all? Any info will be appreciated.

Never been to Ireland but I have distant family (surname Kerrigan) from near Cork I think.
Dublin just strikes me as any other big city with some decent people and some twats.
I have heard Dublin & Cork have a bit of a rivalry though. So I am team Cork!

Take your point on the people but must be said the same of all capital cities.

All the amazing places in London to visit, all the interesting things to do, all the history, all the architecture, yet you base your judgement on it as a city on spending some time in Edmonton.
Hahahahaha

If you do go Swiss, I can give you some recommendations. I'll be back there myself over the summer.

Swiss, I just prefer the people, less self important arrogant cunts.
You can go to the majority of the pubs in Dublin and strike a conversation with someone without being looked at like some sort of cunt.
Tourist Wise London is probably one of the best cities in the world.

Got a lot of mates from Cork. They all hate Dublin. They actually refer to it as a British city. The Jackeens and all.
Cork's on my visit list this year.
Boltkunt - Dublin better than London. What you on these days?

Love Ireland as most of my family is there I find Dublin just a bit dull and I've done all the "off the beaten track" stuff. Much prefer Cork and Belfast.

I love Dublin, whilst London has a lot more "touristy" places, Dublin pisses all over London for me.

The Dart to Howth going North and Bray heading South both have amazing coastal views. Well worth the trip out either way. Population of 1.5M bit than a provincial City isn’t it? Dublin has its fair share of crime and Gangland feuds but still way behind London. Let’s face it unless you have millions it’s hard to live in a decent area of London. It’s going down hill fast.

Dublin Hammers meet in Brannigans a pub in Cathedral St off O'Connell St for matches. I've never been in to join them.
As for the negative comments below, Dublin's a great city if you know your way around. Very few Dubs would go out in Temple Bar unless they were on a stag weekend.

It is indeed generally a bit of a shithole, but there are some lovely parts to it. Fuck all that Temple Bar bollocks but you can have a great night out and eat really well too. If I were forced to live there, there are some beautiful coastal suburbs within fairly easy striking distance of the city centre. There is also an unusual proportion of abso cracking birds anywhere half decent.
