    So I already had Monty Python on the brain, and mention of the FA cup meant I basically read this in a British accent (specifically, John Cleese) and imagined a bunch of players stumbling around.

    And thanks for the opportunity, but my ignorance of the subject, combined with the fact that I really don't want any more beer sent to me at the moment, is a good excuse to pass on this one.

    Do the red circles denote the underinflated balls?

    I don't know what I'm looking at, is that picture an "instant win" or something?

    So I just checked my local bottle shops "new arrivals" list, and wtf??? Pizza Boy!! Simcoe SamuRYE, Grasslands White Wine, Eternal Sunshine, and Golden Sour.... prices seem to be a little high and in some cases ridiculous though.

    I did some online reading and found an article with their projected lineup. Wish I knew more about soccer so I could have actually formulated a guess haha

    Golden Sour is $30 at the brewery, what're they charging for that one? And @PA-Michigander have they rebottled Simcoe SamuRye? That was around quite a while ago to be just hitting shelves now (I ticked it in mid-November) if not.

    I've had Simcoe SamuRYE (thanks to @PA-Michigander ), otherwise I'd go for that. The Golden Sour is $37, which I guess isn't as bad as I thought but still seems a little high.

    Yea the Golden sour was (I think they sent it all out to distribution) $30 at Pizza Boy but it also has shown up at Wegmans for $24.99. How much do they want for the Eternal Sunshine? I thought it was really good when I had it and it's only $10 per bottle.

    Eternal Sunshine is $18 -- that seems to be the going rate around here -- they are apparently distributing to this area now, best price locally seems to be $17 (and $35 for the Golden Sour).

    Wow, $18 seems really high IMO. It's really good but man that's a price hike.

    Yeah the same thing seems to be the case around here with Prairie and Avery too.

    Yeah from $30 to $35 isn't too bad even if the wholesale price is low enough that Wegmans is only charging $25; that said I'm not likely to drop $35 on that bottle either way; but from $10 to $18 really is brutal, that takes it from "yeah I'll take a shot" to "I'd have to be sure first"

    I didn't know Pizza Boy stuff made it to distribution, let alone to NY. Hmm, looks like I have a new mission.

    Google Arsenal team sheet. Pick 11 players from their squad. Write them down. Maybe win free beer.

    I know this takes a little more effort than guess a QB rating or total points score in a football game, but I will reward the effort :wink:

    2 entries received. Offer closes on Sunday at 8am

    There are 'projected lineup' tools that allow you to customize a line up and a formation. EA obviously found a bloggers guess (which is probably a very good guess) and grabbed a screen shot.

    To bolster our groups interest in the 'the other football' I will run an additional in match LIF that will only be open to people who guess a line up. Someone could get a metric sh!t ton of beer if they hit both!
