I thought our League Cup winning left back was last seen living in a park surrounded by empty wine bottles.
I really wish the club would sort it out. We can afford to pay current players 350k a week, but we can't afford £200 to rent a former skipper a one bed in Hackney. Disgrace.
God, I'd forgotten that bit. Must have blanked it out. I didn't even know they still make the stuff.
As you can imagine, I frequented some really run-down offies in search of my Spesh, but I'm sure I haven't seen a bottle of Mateus Rose since the '80s. They all have vile Californian pîss, but none have stooped as low as MR.
I recently went for an Indian meal with a couple who were keen to show us their local.. as the poppadams were being served, amid a great shoulder of winking and grinning, the waiter proudly displayed the bottle. "Your special wine as usual madam!" She was positively squealing with delight.
Yes, it was Mateus Rosé.
I drank it. Fúck it, I have no pride.
