The Championship

SUFC 2022/23 Game #71
That's it. We're done. For the First Team. Still some Academy games to (hopefully) get at. Lots of fans selecting their fantasy signings. Lots of mantras.
"We need five or six Premier League quality signings to have a chance of surviving."
"Yeah. But where's the fucking fun in that?"
I'm not advocating sticking with what we've got. I'm not advocating sentiment. Let's have a recruitment strategy. Best of the Championship. Best of the youngsters from PL Academies. Best loans. Whatevs. It's all a fucking mad gamble. But, we're an identity club. We want players who know what the others have to do. Tickers. Let's be NotLeeds.
Speaking of identity. Cameo from Greedy Guts Will Osula. Greedy Strikers Me Likers. Tendency to snatch and drag his shots across the face. Tendency to not pass to Billy, or anybody. Tendency to think - I'm going to fucking put this one in.
Speaking of identity. National Anthem before the game. What the fuck is that doing anywhere near a football match? There are plenty of appropriate places and opportunities to play and sing it.
Cameo from Jili as well. And a great header from McBurnie. There are plenty of appropriate places and opportunities to score them headers. Like every fucking weekend from August to May next season. Come on.

Any port in a storm, normal pub. The Craft Beer offering was three from Beavertown. With a mix of industry standards and obscure locals on the Cask sticks.
Birmingham Brewing Company, Blonde Brummie on Cask at 4.4%
Undecided on that one. Got a lot better as you got down it. A bit metallic at first. But some fruit develops later.
