It’s FA cup time
again, this week we are off to Rushall Olympic, in the West Midlands not far
from Walsall. Walsall that brings back memories of handbag Harrington ripping a
few new anal passages in the Walsall defence.

We have a few decent boozers nearby,
but one we must aim for is the Black Country Arms in
the centre of Saddlers country. Blessed with 16 hand pumps we are bound to find
something we like. No doubt they will have some of their own brewery’s ales
available, along with other local breweries, Backyard, Holdens, Kinver and Sarah
Hughes. They also do some decent snaffle here, but there is a great fear
amongst some of the PRATS, in the menu on the list of
Black Country Specialities is Black Country faggots in rich onion gravy with
creamy mash & mushy or garden peas. Do not let Pharp see that, I’m not too
sure about the grey peas & bacon with a warm crusty baguette either, both potential
master blaster fuel.
No Poppies away FA
cup day would be complete without the Poppies horde thronging into the local
boozer nearest to the ground or the clubhouse, you can’t beat a good throng.
Throng, not to be confused with the apparel Citra and Pharp wear when they are
gracing the beaches of Skeggy or Frinton on Sea. A throng is a ‘thong that is
wrong’ and in Citra and Pharp’s case it is wrong, very wrong. It puts a whole
new meaning to the term beach bum. If Pharp let’s rip whilst wearing his gonad
hugging silk hankie with the bootlace chaffing deep into a place when no man has
gone before or indeed would want to. The pitch is so high that it is inaudible
to humans but all the dogs are whining and howling away in what sounds like
strangled agony. On the odd occasion when Pharp has been for a dip, you don’t
get the high pitch, it’s more like a Duane Eddy thwang.

Anyway, back to the
Poppies throng, there are a couple of boozers near the ground, both within easy
walking distance, firstly the Manor Arms
which has 6 ales available, Banks’s ales and any of the plethora of ales that
come out of the Marston’s portfolio, Hobgoblin, Ringwood, Wychwood, Jennings
etc. could be available. Just along the canal-side is the Boathouse, a
couple of ales here, it looks more like a family pub. There is a clubhouse, not
sure if they have any ale available.
Where will we go on
the way home?
