    Recommend a beer

    I was really surprised by that too when I started my research. The BrewDogs ones, the Big Drop one I mentioned and the Thornbridge one are all low calorie and decent. On the other end of the scale, the Erdinger one I recommended is higher than some actual beers!

    I honestly don’t get this take (again). No, this isn’t because Sheaf is a ‘protected species’ but because he’s been here a few seasons and incrementally improved each one. We are transitioning to being a footballing team again and he is pivotal to that, especially while we await a creative...

    Recommend a beer

    I used to think exactly the same, and to an extent still do, especially if you’re out, but sometimes after a long day you want to feel like you’ve drank something that isn’t water/squash/fizzy drink etc, but without the calories of a real beer! We also have a subscription to Trip - CBD infused...

    Desperately trying to get into Yellowstone, especially as our free trial of Paramount+ ended so I’m now paying for it! Just started season 3 and while occasionally a character arc or storyline will temporarily grab me, I’m not not getting the hype yet which is disappointing! Conversely, we’re...

    Thanks Both. I’m heading from dropping the kids at the Grandparents so through Coventry, so I think I’ll just park in town and let her choose somewhere - safest bet! Then get to WAC for a drink or two beforehand - likely at Benugo!

    Going to a gig at Warwick Arts Centre tonight and planning to have food somewhere not too far away beforehand. Any recommendations nearby or in Coventry itself? I asked my partner what particular style/cuisines she wanted and this morning her criteria has changed to ‘anywhere with a nice...

    Recommend a beer

    I’ve been trying to be better in the week, so been sampling a good selection of low alcohol beers. This is especially hard at the minute as we’re in the process of organising a beer festival….! My favourite by far is Paradiso Citra IPA by Big Drop Brewing Co. I also quite like the Erdinger AF...

    In all seriousness, DaSilva will fly under the radar this year and be criminally underrated. Very composed and confident on the ball. Received it in some awkward and tight spaces yet dealt with it well on the whole. Solid enough defensively too.

    Sheaf = poor. We absolutely need an upgrade. Edit: read back a few pages before you ‘poo’ this post.

    I honestly don’t have the energy for a nonsense debate.

    I really like Palmer but he’s leaving us so so exposed.

    Also, think it’s pretty obvious but; Thomas is genuinely class.* *appreciate this slightly hyperbole considering it’s been three games.

    Also, with no Hamer, it highlights even more how important and good a footballer Sheaf is.

    Positionally MVE is all over the place. Thomas having to do a lot of coaching. Disclaimer for the idiots; this isn’t me writing him off at all.

    Also - is Lati actually that slow or was that intentional?! Cause that was mentally slow running back. I thought he had pace!

    People around me already pissing me off - panicking because we’re passing the ball around the back. Sitting amongst dinosaurs it seems.

    Don’t think he will be long term tbh. Nothing against Godden - I recognise his strengths - but if Wright/Simms aren’t upgrades and/or MR can’t get them working together? then they’re pointless signings.

    Other than Godden, it’s our strongest team. Bench has two game changers, so relatively happy all things considered. Still more to come in - we’ll have a strong squad by the end of August.
