**Official** English Football Season 2025/26

[GIMH]

Fixtures came out yesterday, and I propose that silly world club thing stays in the old thread.

Hoping for A$AP Rocky, Rihanna and Sachin to enjoy a Strongbow Dark Fruits with me after the game next season. I’ll let them use my supporters club committee discount. Go on the whites

Is there not a 'football stuff that doesn't deserve it's own thread' thread?

and you mock me for my (alleged) choices of drink.

Haha I was just trying to remember what was sold in the can bar

I had a pint of Dark Fruits at a pub (the Royal Oak, in Ecchinswell, for the benefit of @Molehill) about ten years ago on a really hot day after I had been for a long walk with my mum. Chose it because I just wanted something refreshing and really easy to drink/pour down the hatch. I'm usually quite amenable to sweet stuff, but this was too much even for me. Don't think I managed to finish it.

I’ll let you in on a secret, I’ve largely gone off beer these days. Still enjoy a Guinness, and otherwise it’s cider for me. Usually the apple variant but I don’t enjoy cans of Strongbow original, hence.

 

[sledger]

Yeah I hardly ever drink it myself these days tbh. Occasionally will just pick a random bottle in the supermarket to try out. Otherwise it's usually just whiskey for me. So far as apple cider goes, Thatcher's Gold is really quite nice, from memory.

I think we’ll win something this season

I only drink alcohol-free beer now. Cbf with the negative effects of beer, I'll still drink wine and spirits as normal.

When will you realize that this needs to be called the European Football Thread, given all UEFA club matters will inevitably end up discussed here

I issued a Lord Protector Order (LPO) protecting the name of the annual football thread many years ago

 

[Magrat Garlick]

yeah but in the order it said the lord protector would have to drink at least one pint of beer every match

That’s a lot of beer, can I swap it for wine/rum?
