I don't see the connection between Trossard and Mcginn.

I have been spoilt by many visits to Dublin, I can not drink Guinness anywhere else other than in Ireland.
Non Irish Guinness is pasteurised I believe.

It's the same product.

The way it's looked after is different, that's all. Most pubs here don't dedicate specific systems for it, whereas in Ireland they do. There are a number of pubs in this country that do, you just need to know where to look.

Best 10 pubs in England and Scotland for Guinness (according to Guinness) are: Mulligans, Manchester, The Banbury Cross in Oxford,The Devonshire in London, The Railway Hotel in Scotland, The New Albany Pub in Coventry, The Black Horse, in London, The Dog & Partridge in Sheffield, The Al Bear in North Tyneside, The Bulls Head in Loughborough and Kitty O’Hanlons in Plymouth.

A good pint in England will likely be better than an average one in Ireland. It really depends on the pub, how much Guinness they sell, how they maintain their pipes, how they wash their glasses, pour, and an X factor e.g. Murray's pub serves the best Guinness in a local town, even though another pub in the town is owned by a Guinness technician. However even in Murray's, I could order 3 pints, and one might be great, one good, and one so-so.

I used to drink it in England but just had too many bad ones to the point I just gave up.
I don’t ever remember having a bad one in Ireland,some better than others but never terrible.

Guiness tastes like shit. No one likes it, some just think it's cool to pretend they do.

Glass of Prosecco in one hand, a shitty stick in the other.

In 'ones that got away' news, looks like Sverre Nypan is being loaned to Middlesborough for the season.

Always been extremely popular and a delightful beverage IMO.

Fair point ,there isn't really.🤔
Should have made the point that SUE would like Asensio to return.He does like an attacking midfielder who can pick a pass and score goals.His love of Felix was well documented.Emi2 is/was the low budget option.Trossard,him again,reckons he can play that role .SJM can't,he can arse his way past players but slide rule passes are not his forte.
Selling the women's team meant the PL were satisfied.UEFA's wage demands looked like an exit for a world class keeper.
Bailey doesn't look like he is going for megabucks and likewise Buendia.The alleged £20m offer for SJM could solve the wage problem and therefore the keeper problem and enable us to buy a right side CB.

I love Guinness and consider myself something of a expert and connoisseur (a bit like Paul e is on everything 😃 )

Although I’ve never been to Ireland when I’ve been old enough to drink so can’t comment on the quality but the best pint on this Isle is found in The Toucan pub, Soho, London

[Brend'Watkins]

First rule regarding Guinness. Have a look around the pub to see how many are drinking it. If it’s few, stay well clear.

Can we find somewhere to have Barkley and loan Dougie back please. Barkley is never fit!

Hopefully Hemmings gets some chances.
