I tend to save the strong beers for a special occasion / when I know I’m only out for a few. I had this over Christmas and it was really impressive. Doesn’t taste like a 16% beer and was full of flavour: DDF Gingerbread Imperial Stout - Vault City x Nerdbrewing Vault City are a top brewery so...

I sort of get your point, but there’s a multitude of reasons people do it. As I said I’ve got a marathon to run in a few months so cutting out beer will help with training and Dry January is a convenient vehicle to kickstart that.

Forgot about that - good reminder!

Good one. If we’re talking about how the season has progressed so far I’d have gone with; if you want the rainbow you’ve got to put up with the rain.

Took me a while to appreciate Bidwell if I’m honest. I first noticed his defensive work and then slowly saw he did add something offensively. Since his return to the starting line up this year I’ve certainly appreciated his contribution. He’s either stepped it up or he was just taken for...

Surprised this thread hasn’t triggered anyone yet. He’s always been a class footballer and he continues to improve by adding new aspects to his game and growing new skills too, such as the leadership qualities highlighted in this thread. We’re lucky to have him and I’ve no idea why anyone...

Get your point, but in this case it doesn’t apply. I don’t watch any highlight shows so those words are my own and meant as descriptive as opposed to a reference to the actual rules. I’m not a Ref so I’m not au fait with the exact wording.

1) I thought he had Mavididi in his pocket to be honest. He knew he couldn’t beat MVE for pace and it really limited him. 2) The MVE/Sakamoto partnership has to be one of the strongest in the league. Offensively it is obvious, but defensively they cover each other so well and are constantly...

I actually thought he started quite well and seemed to want to let the game flow, but in doing so become too lenient and then lost control. The big ones for me; 1) Not a pen. No idea what Thomas is supposed to do with his leg/foot after making contact with the ball, his momentum was carrying...

Well there is when you then claim the opposing team are over celebrating the fact they’ve won the game. That’s won - after coming from behind against league leaders in a “derby” - not shielding the ball out for a goal kick with 20 minutes left to play.

Genuinely shocked at how badly they’ve taken this loss. How absolutely embarrassing for all involved with their club. For a Manager to create a bizarre half arsed conspiracy and their “star player” to act like a a petulant child is mental. Spoilt and entitled team who have made themselves look...

Can’t wait to read back through this thread tonight once home and chilled. What a result, what a performance, what an atmosphere. Special time to be a Cov fan once again.

Every single time. Why is it a surprise to the organisers? ‘Get there early’ isn’t really a plan.

Imagine how up for it the players should be for today; sell out crowd at home, local derby etc. I reckon MVE will be especially fired up.

We all knew the team so we shouldn’t be surprised and so I’ve already processed the disappointment (ish). However, some perspective on Palmer. He’s a good player, playing his best football in a Cov shirt. This isn’t bringing Taveres in. We know the downside will be his positional sense, but...

Every set of fans has a minority of idiots. Unfortunately we seem to have a vocal and especially idiotic minority. It’s going to add an unneeded edge to the atmosphere today where likely innocents will get caught up in it. Reassuring to see the response from the majority on here.

Disappointing. In a game where I expect we’ll need to break quickly and make the ball stick, Godden wouldn’t be the first choice. I also really like Simms and am desperate for him to score and get that weight off his mind. Looking positively; Godden feels his has a point to prove and scored...

I use it a fair bit but it can be hit and miss, plus location plays a big part too. Pre Covid I used it a lot when I had to travel more for work, and (obviously) London was excellent for it at the time. There is a Harvester near me which can be excellent or underwhelming. They also have a...

Got a cinema tripped pencilled in for tomorrow night and for the first time in a long time it won’t be to see a kids film! Has anyone been recently and got any recommendations? Poor Things has great reviews and won awards etc - has anyone seen it?

I’m doing Dry January and February, with a small weekend off in February as I’m away for a few days and there’s no way I’m going on a kid free holiday and not making the most of it. I don’t necessarily get the Dry January thing, but I’ve got a marathon to run in April and I need to do some...
