Official Match Thread Season 25 Round 4: Gumbies FFC v West Coast Wonders @ The House of Gumby

[Elton Johns Wig]

I'll let you know my measuring tape is long enough (or in other words, yammer away!)

Cheers for those locations! I think I can get a good estimate on temperatures (though pH of soil is another matter). You weren't getting with those Cabernets.

So, for the absolute wine noob, aside from Sideways (not bad, that movie), what's the problem with Merlot?

It's more used as a blending grape for the great wines of Bordeaux (Cabernet based, bar Pomerol, which IS Merlot) than as a stand alone. Compared to Cab and Shiraz it's just seen as a bit bland, something the "ladies" might enjoy when the big wines are too much for them. It's been stereotyped, much like the Wonders.

hoooooo boy, the 'ol Golly-Wonders shitfest sure is exhilarating. Who didn't screw who, who was the third wheel, unrequited? I'm sure by the end of the week I'll have it sussed.

Don't worry, mate. I was captain of the Wonders from season 19 until season 21, and I had literally no idea who Golumless was until I had to submit my song nomination contest to him.

Wow, actually proper legitimate stuff there. That's pretty decisive.

Cheers for all the information, this will come in handy!

(Also, I was meant to say "not kidding with those Cabernets," I think I'm working a little too hard...)

It's my job, and my passion, easy to talk about.

Helps that they are indeed one and the same. Livin' the dream!

Too bad my passions are not as, well, interesting to others, lol.

Mate, playing in a fantasy football league with a bunch of strangers online is not a passion to be ashamed of!

The weird part is it’s done whilst masturbating violently.

So what did I miss.

Besides to much nice banter between the sides.

Wonders why are you wasting your time with the pleasantries.

The Gumbies aren't worthy of anything but our scorn.

Do we give them our time though?

You missed something about masterbating

**** me dead SM

Buy me a drink first.

Somebody gets it, thank ****

Don't mind a nice Chilean merlot

People seem surprised that Chile is a decent wine producer.

 

[dogs105]

And to think you were my protege...

Pray I never get my hands on time travel after that effort.



I reached much higher heights then going premature about a lead in the Fred. I am the only captain to have kicked 5 goals+ in a grand final after all

Self praise is no praise at all

Gets its own shelf in UK supermarkets. Lovely, fruity quaffers

Did you know that it is at an almost identical latitude to the Barossa?

lots of decent Cabernet...and they love their Carmenere over there, we don't really see that here.

I think this is the third week in a row I've indirectly had an influence on things.

Chilian Wine? Unexpected, but probably shouldn't be surprising. I swear that South America is like the continent that we interact with the least. Now I have to go looking for that, and I don't even drink.

Also, Argentinian...their Malbec's are superb.
