Alex Moss 2,165 Posted April 7, 2016 Hopefully Cantiaci or Parma will see this - was just wondering how hard is it to find bars in Italy showing Premier League games? I''ll be in Northern Italy the day we play Sunderland, and I know BT sport are showing live coverage of it so just wondering what the chances are that I''ll find a bar that will show it? Can''t bare to think I''ll miss the crucial game! Cheers folks 👍 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nuff Said 5,141 Posted April 7, 2016 I realise it would be preferable to be in a bar, but as contingency, can''t you borrow someone''s BT Sport account and watch it online? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Parma Ham's gone mouldy 2,220 Posted April 7, 2016 What city are you in Alex?Parma 🇮🇹🍝🎼💁 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alex Moss 2,165 Posted April 7, 2016 Thanks again for the replies folks 👍Parma, I think at that point we should be in the North East of Italy, possibly South Tyrol maybe? That said, we could be in Venice - I''m not the driver on our road trip so it depends how much headway we''ve made! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Parma Ham's gone mouldy 2,220 Posted April 7, 2016 Assuming you''re taking the west-east autostrada from Milan across to Venice, let me know which City you''re in and I can maybe direct you to a bar via friends....Mantova, Verona, Padova....Naturally dropping down via Piacenza, Modena, Parma, Bologna and up highly recommended....Warning: those who enter Emilia-Romagna leave 2kg heavier....though much happier...Parma ❤️🎉💰🍝👌🇮🇹💁🕶 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Angry 1,561 Posted April 8, 2016 Tell the driver to watch out on the roads in Venice-they tend to be flooded all year round 😉 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alex Moss 2,165 Posted April 8, 2016 Thanks Parma, I''ll be in touch! Your last sentence made me laugh, we''re on a reptile spotting holiday so there will be a lot of walking, but I''ll remember your advice buddy 😂😂 @ MrAngry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

westcoastcanary 0 Posted April 8, 2016 The only interest in reptiles evinced by any Italian girl friend of mine manifested itself in searching designer outlets for snakeskin boots and alligator skin handbags .......... [;)] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alex Moss 2,165 Posted April 9, 2016 @KIO, haha, yes mate, I suppose it is quite random - I just find it a bit more exciting than birdwatching (which I''ll sort of be doing as well 😉) - Italy has many weird and wonderful reptiles and amphibians, my main aim is to see a Long nosed viper (Vipera ammodytes) in the wild. But all that will stop when it''s match day against Sunderland, I''m going with an old Man City friend of mine who''s developed a soft spot for NCFC so he wants to watch the game too 👍. Just hoping the Italian bars cover the Premier League now, we''ll see!. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alex Moss 2,165 Posted April 9, 2016 @WestCoast - a quick Google search of Cantium and Cantiaci shows I''m up there with Jade Goody - at least we''ll be going through Kent for the Eurotunnel whateveritscalled 😂 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I saw a sea snake in Thailand last year (picture below) and that was pretty cool (my passion is scuba diving and the wildlife underwater). Saw it swimming into the bay and then watched it come ashore. Just be careful and don''t get yourself bitten! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
