Read this carefully Liverpool fans, as not one match report will tell you this: Good things happen, and you are allowed to enjoy it. You are allowed to add the theme song from Titanic to Mo Salah’s goal vs Man City, and not feel silly about it.
For the men who drink and the women of taste, I have a question:
What would be the very best drink when you are watching football?
Which drink would best combine with the qualities of your favourite team?
What comes first to your mental flip-card catalogue?
Okay, those are three questions – with one answer. Take your time to think, while I take my time to write my own version of the answer, which may or may not answer my own question at all.
On the twelfth of September, 1997, Mr. Davies, a fine football connoisseur of words and wine, answering this age-old question in The New Statesman wrote, ‘’Liverpool should require a rich Fleurie, something with great power and depth on the palate and an elegant structure.’’ But being a Spurs fan, he left a parting blow with, “but the Liverpool you taste today is not vintage Liverpool. No, best stick to basic Burgundy.”
