Apparently it's been a bumper year for grapes in Blighty becasue of the hot summer, can't say I've ever knowingly drunk a commercial English wine... perhaps a good time to start.
I have a large crop of grapes this year from my vines in my garden, they are all being made into wine. The hot summer made a massive difference, as does making your own wines, compaired to commercial shop bought product. English wines are excellent, often much better than continental and new world wines, but a tad expensive. This has no bearing on today's game, which I have a feeling, looking at the line up will live or die dependent on whether we concede an early goal. Loyal supporter in me wants a win. realist thinks another defeat.

But why does he have to get it wrong before he gets it right? It’s a recurring theme.
Think we should wait and see if he's got it wrong.

Good work.... do you have any recommendations of type, I really have no idea? My instinct says that white is likely better than red.

White/sparkling is the normal 'good' English wine, but they reckon they even got good red from this summer. So the bloke on radio 4 said anyway..

Happy with Smith coming in, not so happy with Abebayo not playing.
Bit of a stretch to call it a 'bizarre' line up.

Happy with Smith for Dunne, as he is a better player. Also no argument with formation change, although will be interesting to see whether it suits Taylor or not. At his age it's asking a lot to play the wing back role and Landolo is clearly unlucky to miss out based on his performance at Plymouth. This is a big chance for Scotty Twine but surprised Adebayo is missing out based on what he has contributed thus far. Brown is clearly a big fan of Richards and hoping his faith in him pays off. At least it appears a very strong bench with good options, with Doughty still to return.

I've got two demijohns of white wine from our white garden grapes bubbling away merrily.
I don't like Brown's starting lineup today, but we'll just have to see. The bench is probably as strong as I can ever remember.

There's lots of English vinyards including e beckett's out side of devizes. I feel I must agree with your instincts and go white for English. On the Red wine front the more you pay for a bottle the better, those supermarket reduced from £8 to £4-99 ones are nasty. Many of the redwines arrive in a tanker and are flavoured and bottled in the UK! they are then sold as a country of origin wine, full of sulphates which is what gives you such a bad hangover. Organic red wine is much more pleasant. But wines that are produced in the traditional manner and bottled at source (like the ones that taste excellent when your on holiday) are always worth sourcing.

There must surely be a legal obligation on ifollow to provide a certain standard of service? Especially considering we have not other options available to us.

LMC tries coming to get a ball that should have been kicked into touch and nearly costs us a goal.
