In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?
Belgian beers is where it's at, specially the strong ones! Here's the one I really, really loved back in the day.There's one 11°+ beer really worth it:
Tastes deceptively sweet.
Tasted amazing. It wasn't served everywhere, had to go to a particular pub to get it but was worth it.
And ever since I've been in the UK I've tried decent amount of stuff, like this ale a lot in particular.
Bock, eh? Does that refer to buckwheat? As in, buckwheat rather than wheat?
I remember drinking some buckwheat beer from a micro brewery in the United States, a few years ago now, and that was pretty decent - but it wasn't strong at all.
12% and the like is bollocks to me. Might as well drink wine, then. Unless you're a kid and there's some sort of "pounds-to-piss" ratio involved. Which could be the case, of course, depending on where you live.

Thanks. I had him in the British/Irish draft and was seriously considering playing him as a CB in flat 4 but was unsure of voter reaction, so did not do so. He certainly is capable of it. I think he is the sweeper in the true sense of the work, letting his partner make the plays while he swept behind. Partner him with a ball playing CB and it'd be a rock solid defence.
With all of this beer talk, it's time to announce a Bavarian football legend who formed a solid brick wall for Bayern Munich during their best years:
Yes, dark ale top fermentation belgian beer with fruit and caramel tastes.
What's popular in France is to mix a half of it with a peach gueuze lambic like that:Belgian beers is where it's at, specially the strong ones! Here's the one I really, really loved back in the day.

We call that Pêche Mel'bush. I think they started selling ready made bottles of that.

Excellent pick!
There was one - Sam Adams triple bock back in the days, I think was Boston brewery or something. It was close to 20% and generally tasted like couple of beers poured into one. Usually I don't have problems with stronger beers but that one I couldn't stomach.
Good 'un. Offers much and would rank among the top wide options given the pool. Wanted him myself. Was reminded of his particular qualities and allround usefulness in the all-time South-American versus European XI thread. Great player.
That was my pick!
I'll need a few hours to watch full matches of the backup option. OK maybe less
You just need a few minutes if you choose the right beer, something like Kasteel

Yes, and I'd even have him down as a very suitable partner for a non-ball playing CB as well: A sweeper/more mobile foil to a stopper, to put it like that. Which would be a less obvious combo, given how these things are usually perceived: In reality you don't need a beauty/beast combo - what you need, if you don't depend on large amounts of actual creativity (starting attacks and whatnot) from your CB combo, is a partnership that covers the necessary ground and deals with the relevant attacking threats.
I only have a simple Jupiler right now.You just need a few minutes if you choose the right beer, something like Kasteel
Weirdo.i guess im one of the rare ones that doesnt like beer
Nothing beats a cold Heineken at being the worst beer in the world! lol
I was really impressed with him when I was watching games from the World Cup in 58 and 62. It's heresy but from the France and Sweden matches in 58 he was better than Garrincha
No. The one on the left is a Bock
:
The guy who created it had a similar sounding name, named it after himself and us Bavarians kinda changed it slightly and called it 'a Bock'. You'll often find a picture of a billy goat on Bockbier because of that.

That's the idea, if no Zagallo I'll try to pick 12 class and versatile players.
Ah! A buck, obviously.
No. The one on the left is a Bock
The guy who created it had a similar sounding name, named it after himself and us Bavarians kinda changed it slightly and called it 'a Bock'. You'll often find a picture of a billy goat on Bockbier because of that.
Whereas buckwheat would be "buch" in German, in the sense of...who knows what, etymologically speaking. But probably the same as the English "beech" (as in, the tree) rather than the (male) animal (buck).
Interesting, if a bit left field. Looking forward to seeing him in action.
Can't help you with that, the whole buckwheat thing is confusing. I don't know why buckwheat is called 'wheat' in the first place. After all, it's not wheat.
Yeah, very interesting pick. Firmly in that "legend" category which could be hard to sell when push comes to shove.
Legendary dribbler, for me - one of those. "Yeah, you've got your Garrinchas, but Dobrin could dribble ten Garrinchas in a phone booth - in his underpants."
Precisely - it ain't. But the name has something to do with the tree, i.e. "beech" or "buch".
But why? Isn't buckwheat kinda a flower? Or at least flower-ish? Where's the connection to the tree?
As it turns out, today is the National Beer Day. Had no idea.
Well of course, that's why I chose that pic with Schweini. Not really, didn't know eitherAs it turns out, today is the National Beer Day. Had no idea.
It seems to stem from the appearance of the seeds - which resembles that of beech nut seeds (triangular, but larger) - and from the fact that buckwheat has been used in ways similar to the usage of wheat.
So, a double similarity - appearance and usage.
That makes quite a bit of sense. I'll drink a beer on that, to honour the newly gained knowledge and national beer day, which is also something I learned. I didn't even know it existed.
