Mountain Dew and Carling. Trust me.

Well. Trust 16 year old me.

Maybe don’t trust me.

While we're on dubious 'drinks', anybody remember a goddamn awful drink called Clan Dew
was a drink my mates (and me, occasionally) used to neck if in a hurry to get 'drunk'. Never hated a drink so much, before or since (described as a blend of whisky and wine?!?)

Sure can SBHH, I can concur it was 100% pure filth.
It was dreadful stuff.

Glad I'm not the only one who had to suffer! When I googled it, it said it came out in the 80s, but I'm convinced we were drinking it in the late 70s.

Who are you? Marty McFly?

 

[Jcap]

I could have sworn this was the match day thread not a drinks review?!

 

[Amcoventry]

Given we are safe I predict there will be less comments about the referee than usual!

Definitely 70s no doubt about it.

Was reading their forum. Their hate for Richard Keogh is almost unanimous.

Why does he like us more then them?

There’s that and they think he’s shit.

 

[Bad Boy]

Somewhat surprisingly (well to me it is) we’ve only played Huddersfield sixteen times over the years. W5 D3 L8
Time to change that W to 6 me thinks.

 

[no_loyalty]

There’s that and they think he’s shit.

Huddersfield have certainly shipped a fair few goals in the last few weeks, watch he will go and have a stormer today.

 

[Sick Boy]

Robins says Tavares will be with the first team tomorrow & has intimated a younger squad for next week.

It’d be interesting to see if he could step up and be a 4th choice striker for next season. Would make sense from a development perspective with someone being brought in to challenge for a role in the first team.

Mad Dog 20/20, used to buy it from a little Thresher's next to the Hastings on Clay lane, hideous but effective.

 

[Legia Sky Blue]

Judging from this thread it looks like us supporters are already on the beach, let's hope the player aren't!

Anyhow, anyone remember this from the 80's?

I can't remember it, clan dew

Ah, the drink of my youth. One shop in the town that used to happily sell it to us underage, almost queuing around the block on a Friday & Saturday evening. Vile stuff but great at the time

I'm guessing that's word play, Clint - nice effort (had to look twice, due to the absence of the question mark!

 

[better days]

Getting back to the game
Not sure how we will approach it today or who will start in Kelly's place. Eccles plays that role for U23s so maybe him?
Doubt Tavares will but may be thrown on at some point

 

[robbiethemole]

Looks like the options are:- wild eyed Keogh v flowing locks,beautiful hair Godden or v Gallic,smouldering aggression Biamou. What would your choice be?

You had that dream about being locked in a sauna again, Robbie ?

Apologies for the poor punctuation!

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Huddersfield play out from the back. This needs to be a repeat of the Brentford game where we press them. Sarr, in particular, gives the ball away a lot, and Keogh has a lack of pace. Get O'Hare to chase them down!

I doubt we will see him come on so pointless really

He’s shite headless chicken couldn’t stand him when he was here eother

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

No harm giving him 20 minutes or so

Hope Tavares gets a run out today

I agree but I don’t see robins using him hope I’m wrong tho

we certainly are and more than happy if the players are. Job is done these are friendlies. Still celebrating

Who knows, I want to see much more intensity than we got last Saturday

 

[ccfc92]

Should definitely be going all out to finish as high as possible.

Last week, they can be let off for the hangover of 3 games in a week.

Defo last Saturday was tragic

Their pitch is a hell of a lot better than the surface at StAndrews.
The pitch had a big impact on our press that day. Brentford couldn't cope with the surface.
Interesting that in the games where we just got rid, banged it forward and picked up pieces or set pieces, we won three on the trot.
Back to a slightly more footballing style last week and we struggled....
Who'd take a season of industrial style football next year if it yielded better results??
