Sunderland vs. Chelsea: Lineups & Game Thread

I reach in.  It's cold in the house, but it's even colder in there.  The initial shock subsides in milliseconds and my fingers spread slightly wider, heat loss be damned.

The hunt is over quickly; the target was located and zeroed in on in record time.  In on in!  So cold in here.  We make a quick retreat, our hands fully leaden with treasures.

The anticipation grows.

In 1778 when it was first brewed at the Strangeways Brewery in Manchester, Boddingtons has been renowned as a unique, pale-gold ale.  In English pubs, Boddingtons is served using the traditional hand-pulled method, producing a distinctive creamy head and smooth body, with little gassiness.  Ordinary packaged beer cannot match this quality, but the new DRAUGHTFLOW SYSTEM does.  DRAUGHTFLOW cans give the creamy head and authentic fresh taste of Boddingtons Pub Ale.  For best results, serve cool but not ice cold.
