The long 2016

Trust me, there's no cure

I'll always appreciate his lucky dash to the toilet at Wembley

A well kept pint of ESB on a cool evening is unbeatable.

Been too long since we've had a good flounce

I like the E. Anglia type of ales out of a bottle, like especially a stronger one in winter at home or something like that. But if I'm down the pub and want a few pints I really like the Yorkshire style of smoother beers with a head. Thanks for the link. I remember the sparkler debate when I first started drinking ale. I think there's also a difference in taste, although maybe not anymore. Growing up, the "bitters" I remember were mostly northern like John Smith's and Boddington's so I associate that region with that style of beer.

Thinking about Tiger I'm interested to hear people's thoughts on regional variations on ale keeping. I've always found pints in Leicestershire and north to be slightly creamier and less hoppy/bitter, which I really like. In E. Anglia they tend to be ale-ier, by which I mean very slightly tangier and thinner, and almost always without a head.

Would make an interesting study. Options need to be precise though. Thinking: a) Voted remain and dislike more controlled and possession-based football as exemplified by Maresca's Leicester. b) Voted remain and accept more controlled and possession-based football as exemplified by Maresca's Leicester, though prefer a more direct style from time to time. c) Voted remain and enjoy more controlled and possession-based football as exemplified by Maresca's Leicester. d) Voted Brexit and dislike more controlled and possession-based football as exemplified by Maresca's Leicester. e) Voted Brexit and accept more controlled and possession-based football as exemplified by Maresca's Leicester, though prefer a more direct style from time to time. f) Voted Brexit and enjoy more controlled and possession-based football as exemplified by Maresca's Leicester. For the theory to be correct you'd expect b or c to have the most responses from the Remainers, and d to have most responses from Brexiters.

He was absolutely awful in 21/22 and 22/23. There may be mitigating circumstances such as the manager, but we can't pretend that he was anything other than tosh. He seemed to have absolutely no defensive qualities whatsoever.

Quick, someone do a poll

This, and also I still think it's utterly shit to get knocked out of the FA Cup in the early rounds. A real low moment in any season for me when you see another team progressing at your expense that you know you should've beaten, especially at home.

Free pints of Tiger at Everards pubs this weekend https://freebeer.everards.co.uk/freepint/

One of those games I have absolutely no recollection of.

League cup is one thing, but I can never get fans not caring if we get knocked out of the FA Cup. We're perfectly capable of going up and going on a cup run. Stop being small time

Word brother. Not much better than an FA Cup run.

the number of times we've done that

Is the sky commentator pissed?

good start

Kane hate is very cringey and best left to football twitter

right bunch of ugly buggers Ipswich. Real EFL looking side. Not like our Premier League heartthrobs.

What can I say, the cringey outspoken atheist to far-right pipeline strikes again https://www.theguardian.com/football/2015/apr/16/joey-barton-member-national-secular-society

I've had a feeling about the Chiefs for a while, they are a very potent mix of experienced in winning and underestimated. Americans talk a lot about the 'intangibles' which is mostly bollocks but I think in a sport like American football which is both physically demanding and also unforgiving of small mistakes, it is a huge psychological boost to have at QB a guy you know has been to a championship game 6 times in a row. I can see them winning it all and Kelce doing the whole "everybody thinks we suck" Edelman 2019 speech.

After 1 adult ticket for this one.

I mean N. Ireland has got a substantial body of water separating it from England
