I’ve no idea. I suspect we’ll get handed a lesson, but hope we put in a serious shift. My Nipper is going, so i’m gonna say, against better judgement, that we’ll batter the coal shagging, brown ale soaked, spray tanned cunts.
PS, if you’re reading this Auntie Cheryl, i love ya really. And all the rest of the Geordie family contingent. Howay the lads!
Depends. Is there time for Eddie Howe to take the England job before the weekend, thus leaving the mighty Toon in complete disarray? If so, we might snatch a point. If not, it’s the first 8 or 9 tonking of our season.
I used to love Pelforth, especially the Brûne. But the Pelforth Blonde was spectacular as well. If you haven’t already discovered it, the other French beer of choice was Affligem.
I was introduced to Pelforth Brûne thirty years ago in Calais. While abroad, the ex-wife used to enjoy asking me to get something she had a passing fancy for which was unlikely to be generally available on the continent or wherever we happened to be, for example, in Thailand she had a hankering for British style fish and chips. In Calais, she decided on a Guinness. That’s just a couple of examples, she did it whenever we went abroad, and when I couldn’t locate the Marmite in a Cherbourg supermarket she’d give me massive grief for my pathetic inadequacy. It all added to her enjoyment of the trip. So, on asking whether this Calais bar happened to have Guinness, (“on draught, I don’t like bottled,”) the barman predictably had no clue what I was asking for. I explained in not very fluent French that it was a dark creamy beer from Ireland. He recommended Pelforth, so I took two bottles. Mine went down a treat while she was still screaming at me, and unbelievably, as soon as she actually deigned to try it she grudgingly accepted it as passable.
