Amazing that FIFA didn’t think about this either!
(It’s been given as one factor for why they haven’t moved the kick-off)
Is the Argentina manager under pressure after that performance?
Too tired so went to bed at half time, woke up and saw the score this morning. Doh! Never leave early so the saying goes…
Same. First 20 minutes was boring.

FIFA and the obnoxious Infantino now frantically looking into the potential commercial and marketing opportunities of mandating ‘special teams’ in the next World Cup.
Rush goalies in extra time ?
Of course you drink Hawkstone lager. Of course you do

Ooohh, hadn’t thought about that , it’ll all kick off for sure, with the game on a knife edge and suddenly the TVs go off and everyone’s kicked out.
Doesn’t Jeremy Clarkson own Hawkstone?
Yes, and the brewery uses ingredients from his Diddly Squat Farm. It’s now one of the best selling beers on Amazon, and as JC said in the famous YouTube advert, it’s f***ing good!
Can’t be true. There’s not an Amazon documentary series where a silly old multimillionaire rightwinger ‘risks ruin’ * by buying a brewery, is there?
(* not really)
I don’t think this referee is going to be getting another game at this World Cup

Before the game I wanted the underdog to knock France out. But Paraguay were horrible, such a dirty nasty team trying to injure the opposition. The minute they felt the slightest touch they rolled around like they’d been shot. Good riddance.

Exactly the same. There’s dark arts and there’s plain viciousness

Olise just pointed at that bloke who goes down and he gets booked? What are all those officials there for? Disappointed with Paraguay who have been good so far in the Tournament. So it’s good to ‘grind out a win’ for France but we do it and the manager is ten minutes away from the sack.

They sell it in the bar at Magnolia Park (formerly Broom&Wades). I had a pint bought for me at a wake I attended. It was actually pretty good, but I would never personally buy anything from the utterly detestable Clarkson. I would rather deprive myself than give a penny to that right wing bully. Plus the product is extremely expensive in comparison to other quality lagers, so it’s not much of a dilemma.

England will win tonight. That is all.

It does make me laugh how the Gasroom Sparts start frothing at the mouth at the mention of Jeremy Clarkson’s name. Those people should be careful what they wish for - apparently, Hawkstone are looking at expanding into major sports sponsorship, and below is a press release we may be seeing next season:
WYCOMBE WANDERERS PARTNER WITH HAWKSTONE LAGER BECAUSE THE BOARD WANTED free BEER
HIGH WYCOMBE, UK – Wycombe Wanderers Football Club has today announced a brand-new front-of-shirt partnership with Hawkstone Premium Lager, mostly because our commercial team got tired of drinking warm tap water during board meetings.
Starting immediately for the 2027/28 season, the iconic Hawkstone logo will be plastered across the front of the Chairboys’ famous light and dark blue quarters. It is widely considered by people who work here to be the most visually stunning thing to happen to Buckinghamshire since the introduction of the roundabout.
Naturally, the partnership means Hawkstone will become the exclusive lager poured at Adams Park. Fans are advised that while the beer is premium, the football on display will remain exactly as stressful as it has always been.
A spokesperson for Hawkstone (who was busy shouting at a sheep) commented:
“We looked at the footballing pyramid and decided we needed a club that embodies the Hawkstone spirit: stubborn, occasionally muddy, and deeply unbothered by what critics think. Wycombe fits the bill perfectly. Also, we heard they have an excellent lawnmower at Adams Park and we wanted to see it.”
The Wycombe Wanderers Commercial Director added:
“We welcome Hawkstone to Adams Park with open arms and empty pint glasses. We did try to get Jeremy to sign the contract himself, but he was arguing with a local council planning committee about a hedge, so we just signed it with his manager instead.”
The new kit is available for pre-order tomorrow at 9:00 AM. Supporter patience is requested at the club shop, as we are currently trying to figure out how to fit a pallet of beer through the back doors.
Nobody is frothing at the mouth except you. Though, having had the misfortune of seeing you in real life, I’m aware that dribbling froth is your factory setting.
