    Spanish food is best in the world currently, especially their seafood. San Sebastián beats Bologna by a country mile (although both are good).

    If you can taste a 0.4% difference in alcohol content then you have an impressive palate and/or an overworked liver...

    It’s good to see that we’re yet to see a ball kicked under Ranieri’s defensive style football and the forum’s been turned into a disguised AA meeting.

    In line with the topic at hand, Czech and Belgian beers are both great.

    Grab a Leffe Blonde in Tesco’s whilst you can. Tends to be a scuffle for them every time the poor fella at Tesco’s stacks them up on the shelf.

    There is actually a massive difference in taste & structure of any alcoholic drink when you reduce the alcohol content by 7.5% of total...which is what 5.2>>4.8 equates to.

    Best in the world?

    Danish and Peruvian are the current culinary hotspots!

    I admit we all have different tastes but if you think that I can only imagine you've never been to the Malaysia/Singapore/Indonesia region. The food there is incredible and by far the best I've ever had worldwide.

    Yes that’s great as well. I like most food to be honest, but for me the high end basque stuff is the best. Definitely superior to Italian food in my view. Harder to compare with the Malaysian/Thai food really as it’s so different.

    The best beer in the world is Gouden Carolus closely followed by Duchesse du Bourgogne and it's the hill I am dying on.

    I am not sure about that, and alcohol itself doesn't taste of much.

    Maybe they also adjusted some other parts of the recipe.

    It is not the alcohol per se that tastes; higher alcohol levels normally means longer brew time and it's the interplay of the ingredients with the alcoholic content that gives added structure & taste.

    ESB is a decent drop but best in the world is a big call!

    I'm not sure I can nominate a favourite beer. My tastes tend to change with the seasons.

    I’m a bit of a philistine when it comes to beer, I’m not mad keen on IPAs as I don’t have a sweet tooth in the slightest and I don’t really like the citrusyness of most of them. By favourite beer at the moment is the Innes & Gunn Lager Beer.

    Yeah, can’t argue this.

    I spent 16 hours on Saturday smashing as many ales as I could around London.

    After 2.5 years of waiting to neck a decent pint, it was absolutely sublime.

    From the pubs, to the pints, nobody does it like us.

    I’ve gotten pissed all over the States since moving here and nothing compares.

    It's not the best in the world, or even my favourite, necessarily, but I've recently found Gunnamatta Earl Grey IPA from Yeastie Boys in NZ and that is pretty special.

    One of the things I miss the most about the uk, living in North America is the pub atmosphere and beer you get in them.

    Can’t find a decent bitter or mild ale anywhere.

    Extremely jealous of your 16 hours on the lash

    Coming back from the game, what did he say in the post-match interviews? Heard he had a lot to say...

    Odds cut to 10/1 to be next manager even with Ole and Bruce on the way out imminently. We are a joke

    Playing Sarr up front. What a daft old plonker. Doesn’t he watch football?

    I see why he played Sarr up top but playing high balls expecting him to beat vvd and Matip in the air was never happening. Liverpool defenders won’t have an easier day out all season.

    You could have a point. There has to be a major uplift in attitude, pride, desire, professionalism from our players. If Ranieri doesn't get this, then he could well walk. It wouldn't surprise me. We look as bad as any side I've ever seen in the Premier League right now, including those Derby and Sunderland sides.

    It's not the first game where the players look like they don't give a sh1t. This has to stop before the rot truly sets in. If we go to Everton, after Ranieri's had them for entire week, and they don't respond to him, then I wouldn't blame him if he went to Gino's door and told him he can't do anything to help this side.

    We've got too many players who look as though they are passing through, who won't be sticking around if we go down and this attitude is transpiring on the pitch.

    Heard his post match interview on radio this evening. One bit has stuck with me. He said I know more about my players after today. Sounded annoyed in his tone. He may be looking to wait until he sees what he gets in January. As an Italian I would assume a decent defender but he will be disappointed I think

    What would be the point? We've got a squad full of pathetic mentalities and average footballers.

    The best thing he can do is drop the mental midgets and those that are more interested in getting more YouTube subscribers and play players who give a ****. Unfortunately, I highly doubt he could find 11 in the current squad who fit this description.
