Bristolatic Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 I can't stand wine of any description. They all taste like vinegar to me, so can we please find another analogy? Tesco lager versus Kronenburg, for example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did once have a glass from a magnum of Petrus that retails at about £3500 a bottle. I could distinguish it from Tesco lager... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristolatic Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Never yet found a wine that had anything remotely resembling a pleasant taste, no matter how expensive it was. Maybe I've just got funny taste buds. Now ale, that's a different matter altogether, but how did pre season 2019 turn into an alcohol related thread?

Monty Burns Posted June 15, 2019 Author Share Posted June 15, 2019 It’s defo a taste buds thing. I’ve never tried a red wine of which l was able to drink more than a glass in my whole life. Even Kalamatxo doesn’t make it palatable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fyldelatic Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Had a sip of amazing 1963 Chateaux Mouton Rothschild way back in late 1970s, which was like smooth velvet with amazing depth of fruit filling your mouth. Never tasted anything better since (equivalent bottle today will cost £600 retail, £2,000 in a restaurant). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fyldelatic Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Not 1963 or any vintage Mouton. Properly kept in a cool cellar, it will last decades. I drank in a restaurant in London with sommelier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oafc1955 Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 It’s not just the preseason friendly. We’re 4 weeks away from that Dale game, we have half a squad of mainly shite players, no captain, no CB’s, no goalkeeper, a totally incapable midfield unit and no sign of even a striker let alone a goal scorer. We have a new head coach arriving in less than 2 weeks who won’t have a fucking clue about EFL 2 and as yet hasn’t even seen the U.K. never mind our stadium and training facilities and I wouldn’t bet against him having fucked off by Christmas. I would say preseason friendlies are the least of our problems it’s just everything else!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His early tactics, like playing for a 0-0 at Yeovil, are good examples of this. Knowledge of League 2 shouldn't be a prerequisite for the job, otherwise we are limiting possible applicants. The ability to quickly acquire knowledge of League 2 should be a current prerequisite for the role. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
