SUFC 2021/22 Game #70
Immediately after the game we headed into that Hotbed of Hoopery…
The Crown & Sceptre
57 Melina Rd, London W12 9HY
Lovely bright, standard Fuller's house. A few QPR pictures around the walls. Those bought on Shepherd's Bush Market polyester QPR flags generally draped about. Well staffed. Although the guy who served me feigned he couldn't hear me. Which, as anyone who knows me will testify, is not possible. I'm self aware. If you're in the same pub as me, you can hear me.
London Pride, Oliver's Island on Cask. But I went for a Tick…
Fuller's Brewery, Gale's Spring Sprinter, Golden Ale on Cask at 4%.
New Zealand Nelson Sauvin hops. Not particularly shown off to their best I felt.
But, the Outstanding Beer Of The Day was…
Mondo Brewing Co, Little Victories, Session IPA on Keg at 4.3%
Got a recipe, that fella. Carapils and Wheat added for body. Dextrose and Lactose. Cascade hops for bittering. Amarillo, Mosaic and Simcoe in the whirlpool AND some dry hop action. Fermented with a West Coast Ale yeast. Called Little Victories. That weren't little. And don't think for one moment we only had "the one" as we breathed in the Hoopery Hospitality.
I don't give Fucks above one about the future, the Play Offs, Wembley, whether & how we'll cope in the PL. Win What You're In. We're in a race for the Play Offs. Let's try to win that. The players did (try). Quite a bit of will to win on show. Loved it.
I would have loved to have been a fly on the Grassy Knoll at Shirecliffe this week. Billy gets injured. The management know they need to find a way to score. It's gone to the Brains Trust.
"Set pieces, long throws & the like'
"Shall we try those Flea Flicker ones to Norwood on the edge?"
"Nah, every team has scouted those now, have 'em up your sleeve, but we need to mix it up"
"With what?"
"CHAOS CORNERS"
Superb. Also. I've seen some SanderStats.
4 Key Passes.
5 Duels Won.
4 Shots.
2 Tackles.
1 Assist.
And, (remembering I love the cuddly Norwegian scamp), surely he blocked more goal bound Blades attempts than the whole of the QPR defence!!!
Also, when you're struggling for bodies, trying to find a way, it's desperately important that each player knows their role. So, Egan & Norwood need to dial it down a bit. Last night the Shoreham Gals n Boys were a glorious Rabble. We've got Rabble. But, we've got Rousers, plural. We need Rouser, singular. And Sander Berge is the Carrier Bag Firm Rabble Rouser of choice.
No one in the CBF is counting any poultry. But, we are issuing a warning to Civilians.
If you're mooching about in Sheffield next Saturday. Try to get a bus which avoids the "London Road Corridor". Stay safe…
