My milkshake brings all the ladies to the yard.

 

Milk only for me.

I don’t get down much these days and if I do it’s a last minute dash because a mate can’t go. So nothing before and I’ll have a bourbon/single malt whiskey or brandy when I get home.

These days it's a cup of tea before the game. Cup of tea at half time. Cup of tea at full time. 

 

I like tea.

Decent thread tbf looking forward to rob72727 and his pre match magnum of Dom perignon 04

[Guest MattP]

A few pints of cider then usually a double just before the walk to the ground.

[Jattdogg]

You love a good teabagging it seems

[Milo]

Drive up, so water before, water at half time (or hot chocolate on Champions League nights) and then water after.

Bottled or flask?

[Guest]

Honestly turn up sober and drive home.

Tried the drinking pre match and I end up pissed by half time, in the bogs pissing my way through the second half after uncorking and falling asleep as soon as I get home. I see no positives in daytime drinking these days.

Well it was bottled - but the wife is a bit of a no plastic nazi these days...

 

 

 

gripping thread, btw...

[StanSP]

if I'm driving then it's usually a few beers before and during the journey

 

then when I get to the match, nothing.

I drink the blood of the opposition mainly but sometimes coffee.

 

In all seriousness a few pints or maybe move onto the gin. I spent the first 40 minutes of West Brom wondering if I could get away with sleeping on the 4 empty seats next to me.

I drink nothing before a game so as to avoid 1st half bladder issues or the need to leave my seat at H/T.

I've considered asking my neighbour for a sip from his flask at H/T, but it seems a bit forward - though the lady on the other side gives me Murray mints. Instead I enjoy watching Birch shout "Come on, Titch!" at schoolboy relay racers.

I drink nothing during the 2nd half or after the game. Instead, I go home.

 

To think that once I'd have thought nothing of downing a bottle of whiskey in a cinema or waking up in the cells after a Saturday night. How times have changed.

 

Do you think I need to lively up myself?

Should I buy some casual clothing, get coked up before the next match and shank a few Geordies after the final whistle?

I probably wouldn’t go that extreme Alf tbh.

Whatever floats your boat Alfie.

I try to stick to 2 beers whilst watching the last hour or so of the televised game in the Kings Head pre match, when it becomes 3 or 4 I know it'll be uncomfortable holding out for a half time Pee. It can also lead to the verbal tirade I gave to Begovic when Mahrez scored v Bournemouth for which I can only apologise again to the Women and children (but not Begovic the timewasting ****ing, cheating, ****, serves him ****ing right the ****ing ****). Afterwards 3 or 4 more before the train & bus home, easier if we've won, still trying to find a really decent post match pub where people want to talk about the game and watch the TV game.

 

Considered introducing a "treat" system, for example a spirit or two to celebrate a win or one per goal but remembered Germany v England from years ago. I was due at a wedding reception and as I didn't want to be playing catch up had some beers at home and said I'll have a double Whiskey if England score a goal. The night they scored five. The 3rd, 4th and 5th were very generous doubles (self measured). I vaguely remember following the bride and groom out of the venue through an applauding guard of honour whilst singing "Oranges and Lemons, the bells of saint clements", standing on a slice of cucumber near the buffet and going arse over head in installments, then inheriting the early leaving vicars table place - name card and all, which unwittingly lead fellow latecomers into believing the great bishop of Ely has strong views on the offside laws, Whiskey breath and is a little eccentric. Poor guys reputation took a hit that night!

 

Therefore a little reluctant for such a system, other than a strict policy of downing a bottle of Cava in one whenever we win the Premier League, maybe consider a post match curry for a change. End of season curry? A yess we've finished 7th Curry? A yess we've relegated West Ham, Brady you're fired you b**** curry?
