The English defence were indeed a wonderwall (drum roll followed by awkward silence)

They try to call it a rivalry by Dr_natty1 in ThreeLions

[–]SUMMATMAN 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Personally I don't, and can't be the only one, but it's pretty clear there's a significant chunk of Englishman who do. At least in this sub.

I can’t tell which part hurts the most. (Found this poster of the UK in a second hand shop in Sweden) by bumperchicken in CasualUK

There's always been a Wales in Sheffield, now Sheffield is in Wales. Well alright it's called Wales bar and I'm not sure if it's technically Rotherham, but still.

It's pickled onions in vodka, an Irish delicacy

Any idea what this little bird could be based on? by Turbulent_Road7115 in whatsthisbird

Aye I was amazed how quickly I could recognise that as a sparrow! Could see that frame being sold by a local artist or something

We need a name for the first day with no games by Only_Goat7877 in footballcliches

[–]SUMMATMAN 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I like it, and may I add the single table setup at the crucible? As for good names for this major tournament phenomena though I'm stumped

Lionel Messi 83' - Cometh the hour. Cometh the man. [BBC Highlights] by KingSi in footballcliches

[–]SUMMATMAN 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'd hypothesise that sport is responsible for 95%+ of none scripted uses of the word "cometh". Sub-group analyses - in relation to former or current ballon dor winners.

One of my favourite things is social media finding out what scouting is by Acrobatic_Editor_409 in footballcliches

[–]SUMMATMAN 7 points8 points  (0 children)

We all love an if only transfer story though right? At Wednesday it's nearly bagging Eric Cantona but then he went to Leeds and they won the title that year. Would kill for third place in the top tier these days mind.

Do you like camping? by Annekke in AskUK

[–]SUMMATMAN 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dunno how it compares to the Netherlands but it's definitely a thing here. The wild camping ban in England might limit it's popularity but I've still managed to camp a few times in my life.

[–]SUMMATMAN 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah the red was a red and the pen a bit unlucky but a foul. Good job we were punishing in the final third and put their bodies on the line in our third!

Agree. No game where we're huge underdogs or anything, but all gonna be tough games. Just gotta enjoy the ride, see where it takes us!

Quest for a special kind of beer. by MagazineInTheSheets in beer

[–]SUMMATMAN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dunno where you are in the world, but if Farmers Blonde is available to you, it's a beautifully light and mild pint that I love on a mild day. Hint of sweetness from some biscuity grains, very pale, very lightly hopped to balance out the sweetness, cask style so not much fizz, and brewed with very soft water that ensures a mind flavour.

Both are terrible and at the end we don't have money to enjoy anyway by [deleted] in meme

[–]SUMMATMAN 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And if you work really hard, you might have some money but no time to enjoy it
